I usually don’t make reviews, good or bad. A place has to really good or be really bad for me to write one. This place/Eastside Subaru is really dishonest and really bad!! I took my 2004 S A place has to really good or be really bad for me to write one. This place/Eastside Subaru is really dishonest and really bad!! I took my 2004 Subaru Baja to Eastside Subaru in August of this year. I had a problem with the timing—the engine code said P0011. I looked it up and it is not an easy fix. I was ripped off by a guy here in Southern Oregon who charged me but did not fix the problem. I had a few people tell me they didn’t know how to fix it but they did not charge me & I appreciate that kind of honesty.—So I made an appointment at Eastside Subaru (where the car was originally bought in 2004) and drove up. Once there, they seemed to have trouble finding the problem. They also seemed swamped with business and I felt like I was being put on the back burner!! After more than a week, I was told the car had little things wrong—missing screws and clogged tubes but no mention of the timing problem. I did want the “small stuff fixed” & asked Ethen not go over $1,500 for the small stuff or I would need to take out a loan! He agreed. I still called many times and mentioned the P0011 or the timing issue that I brought it up for but they would only evade the subject, telling me again there was only 1 person in their shop who could work on this car. After 2 weeks they told me they they found a missing/bad part? (They couldn’t tell me what it was) And it could take awhile to get it in. They informed me to take the loaner car and just go, until the car was done. When I finally picked up my car after a month!!! The problem was still there!!!!. I took it back twice!! On the 2nd time, Ethen said “lets go for a test drive” , right away he said “doesn’t it run wonderfully” ( & I am thinking, what???) I showed him the how the RPM’s were flying all over the place from 2 to 4 back down to 1. The car was also lurching forward before it grabbed on and the problem was still totally there. Ethen tried to talk me out of the problem—saying “thats the turbo.” This place, Eastside Subaru, did not have the decency to tell me they couldn’t fix it the problem. Only now, they wanted 4,500 for god knows what? What I really think is they charged me for was the time spent with the loaner car which I had for a month—a car which I couldn’t stand. Also because they had my car for so long, it mean’t I was dealing with two different people, Nathan 1/2 the week and Ethen the other 1/2. The personalities of both my service advisors was kind and caring--but that's partly what fooled me into thinking that they had my interests, not there's at heart!. When I picked up the car and came back twice saying it wasn’t fixed—at some point I showed the paperwork of the previous work on the car to Nathan and he said “wow, they got you coming (with $5000 worth of work) but “we got you going” with ($4500 worth of xxxxxxxx work) And that was a true statement! Finally some honesty! Now I am stuck with a car, that has the exact same problem (P0011) but now I owe the bank $4000 which I borrowed to fix the car that Eastside Subaru never fixed. But now I don’t have the funds to fix it!! I would never recommend this place because of the lies they kept telling me but especially if you have a Subaru that older than 2010 because they don’t have anyone that can fix your car there and won’t tell you this detail!!!

The place was calm, the people were competent and helpful, and my 2021 Forester got new oil, tires were checked, and all went well. My one negative was the price which was quoted for the express check oil change, tire check/rotation if warranted, and all other basic systems checked as being $129 but after taxes and the "shop bill" were added it became around $159. That add-on increased this basic newer car service charge by approx. 25% which seems a bit high to this 71 yo who is now dealing with the economic realities of 2025. But other than that ya'll gave me really good service. More

We had an excellent experience at Eastside Subaru. After going to other locations with high pressure to buy, we really appreciated how down to earth and relaxed it was working with Christopher. The After going to other locations with high pressure to buy, we really appreciated how down to earth and relaxed it was working with Christopher. The fact that we could secure the vehicle with a handshake and a signed price agreement and not have to put down a deposit was simply amazing! Excellent experience and I would purchase a car from here again. More
