This review is long overdue, but here it is: I'm from NYC and never owned a car before. In March of this year I had to buy my first car. My brother had great experiences purchasing his in April 2021 and NYC and never owned a car before. In March of this year I had to buy my first car. My brother had great experiences purchasing his in April 2021 and December 2022, so we returned to Premier Subaru to search for mine. Matt was our salesman, and Phillip helped with the financial component. I purchased an Impreza sedan on a Saturday in March. After "running some numbers" we changed our minds and contacted the sales team, who were quick to respond during the weekend and very understanding of the situation. On Monday we returned to the dealership, Phillip did the financial paperwork all over again (sorry for the added work, Phil!), but we were met with nothing but the utmost patience and professionalism throughout the entire process by everyone at the dealership. I drove my first car home the same day. The next morning, Matt called me to check-in and see how the ride home in my new car went. The staff at Premier Subaru make quality customer service look easy - they treated us like family, and we are truly grateful for their service. More

I truly can't say enough good things about this dealership. I worked with PHIL SIMONE, and I feel so fortunate to have landed him as my salesperson. I was originally in the market for a Forester dealership. I worked with PHIL SIMONE, and I feel so fortunate to have landed him as my salesperson. I was originally in the market for a Forester Limited or Touring, and Phil patiently walked me through the options, without a hint of aggressive sales tactics (which I loathe; I'm capable of doing my own research without being pressured into something I don't want). As I walked around the dealership, a Legacy Touring XT caught my eye, and despite some not-so-subtle hints from my wife that it wouldn't be big enough for our purposes, I moved ahead with purchasing the Legacy, going so far as to put down a deposit. Phil worked WITH me, not against me, to secure a highly reasonable price; it felt like he was personally invested in what was best for me, and not landing a sale. This was further demonstrated by the price the dealership offered for my trade-in vehicle; I told Phil what I had been quoted by Carvana, and even after that, he came back with a higher price. I would've expected a salesperson to take advantage of the lower price, but credit to Phil and management, they held at the higher price. Fast forward two days, a couple long talks with my wife, and I realized the folly of my ways. I decided a bigger car would be more practical. There was a new Outback Limited XT on the website which seemed like it fit the bill, so I contacted Phil, and without any hesitation he helped me proceed with getting the Outback instead of the Legacy. No issue, no hassle. I went in to pick up the Outback today, and as soon as I walked through the doors, Phil greeted me with a smile and handshake. The process to sign all the trade-in and new car paperwork was seamless. JUAN PEGUERO in Finance took his time going through all the warranty and add-on options with me, again without pressuring me into going one way or another. He was just as pleasant and easygoing as Phil. Ultimately, I'm walking away a completely satisfied, lifelong customer. I've never had a smoother, more satisfying experience at a car dealership. I felt like Phil, Juan, Rick, and everyone else I interacted with genuinely cared about me, which to me is the gold standard for customer service. THANK YOU!! Lastly, please give Phil a raise. The man has 7 kids and 3 grandkids; that's A LOT of birthday and holiday presents. But more importantly, he's a consummate salesperson, and even more importantly, all-around good person. He's the kind of person any business should want to hold onto because he is such a tremendous asset. Give Juan a raise while you're at it. Thank you both! More
