My Review of Patriot Subaru:
They made me feel comfortable immediately. Vinnie listened to my concerns and matched me to a vehicle I would be comfortable driving. David took the time to review all paperwork with me and ensured I was comfortable with all decisions made. I even received a follow up call from the salesman to be sure I was satisfied with my purchase. I would highly recommend Patriot Subaru, David and Vinnie to anyone looking to purchase a car. Vinnie will put you at ease, and before you know it you'll feel like you're talking to an old friend. Thank you for such exceptional customer service!

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
Very efficient and friendly service, would definitely recommend this dealership to others. We we're allowed to test drive the car which really sealed the deal when I experienced how nicely the vehicle handled.

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
Recommendation for VINNIE MARTORANO, Sales Associate. We bought a 2012 Subaru Forester. If you are in the market for a Subaru, talk to Vinnie Martorano. We highly recommend him and Patriot Subaru. Vinnie made our car buying experience the most enjoyable we have ever had. It was like talking to an old friend. A great guy. No pressure, fair, honest, listened and was flexible. It was a pleasure doing business with Vinny and Patriot Subaru. They made the experience easy. Will we go back to them? You bet!!

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
Since 2004, I have purchased several vehicles with Patriot Subaru to include maintenance services. What makes this dealership so special? Quick simply put, its employees. Doesn't matter whether you are working with the owner, a prior or new salesperson, upper or lower management or the service department. Always a smilng face, always willing to work with you and listen to your needs, unprecedented desire to provide you with the best experience possible. How great is it when you can walk back into a dealership and be greeted on a first name basis?! It's like being in "Cheers". So thanks again to Adam, David, Jackie, Vinnie, Wayne and of course, Colby. Hope I didn't miss any one. Customers for life--Jeff and Ange

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
I bought a Subaru legacy 2.5i. I have to say i love the car, the process of the purchase lasted a while because i could not make up my mind on which color, which package i wanted, manual or automatic. i have to say that Vinnie the salesman i dealt with was very patient, very professional, very friendly, just a great person overall. made the whole process so much easier. So anyone looking for a new or used Subaru, go see Vinnie at Patriot Subaru and experience top notch sales at it's finest.

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
ok - i have now bought 4 vehicles from these folks and honestly not sure i would go anywhere else at this point. From the greeting at the door to the handshake at the end, all people in there were extremely pleasant to deal with. Even the service tech that came out to talk to one of the salesman asked how my day was! that does not happen everywhere. Vinnie was great to work with. He is always positive, energenic and NOT AT ALL pushy. When you first meet him he goes beyond that car salesman attitude and becomes very easy to talk to. He has that people person ability to make you feel very comfortable. this place makes the car buying experience painless and quick. If you show up knowing that you are there to buy a car and not to just kick some tires, they will get you in and out in a flash. Its a buisness there to conduct buisness and maybe make a few friends along the way. They have my vote on both 150%!! this place rocks. you go in there and it is so comfortable its not even like being in a dealership. i have been in many many dealerships and this place BY FAR is the best one i have every been in. The service dept is good, but honestly they could use a little bit of Vinnie out there as well. They are great people and very welcoming to everyone!! I bring my son to funtown a few times a year and always make it a point to stop in across the street and say hello to my new friends and as usuall looking around trying to make a deal!

Honestly - if you are looking to make a purchase on a new or used car; do yourself a favor and make an appt to meet with Vinnie. If nothing else you have made one more friend that will always be on the other end of the phone when you have a question on a car. It cant hurt just giving them a shot, besides they are on the strip where if you dont like what they have to offer, go down the street. (not sure you will get past them thought- they make it SOOOOOOOO EASY!)

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
I choose Patriot Subaru after a lot of research. Don't waste your time doing the research, I already have done it for you...three times:

One of the first things that crosses your mind when you decide to make a big purchase like a house or a car is, "now I have to deal with the sales-people." I had the same thought the first time I decided to buy a Subaru. I'm an anal-retentive person. I do my research. Too much research, probably. After concluding that the best car for me was the Outback I did what everyone does. Start looking for dealerships. I did my search based on dealers within an hour and a half. I figured driving that 1.5 hrs would be worth to deal with the right dealer and get the car I wanted for the price I wanted to pay. I narrowed my search down to three dealers, Patriot Subaru included. I made my phone calls and in the case of Patriot Subaru, was put in contact with Vinnie Martorano. I explained my situation to Vinnie and after a short conversation he agreed to work with me and try his best to stick to my price range. I'm a nice guy, I give people the benefit of the doubt, so I made the hour drive up to Saco, ME.

Walking into Patriot Subaru, you would have thought I had arrived at some kind of family reunion. (The only difference being the lack of barbeque, of course). The friendly staff immediately greeted me and directed me to my salesman, Vinnie. This guy pretty much reminds me of a college friend I had and still miss to this day. Very nice, down to earth, loves his family, loves his job...just generally pleasant to be around.

Yeah, I had to spend money to buy my car, so it's not all roses, but spending a lot of money never is...so we sit down and start going over the numbers. I had brought a quote with me from a dealer I found down in South Carolina stating that I could get the car for the amount that we talked about over the phone (below invoice). Obviously Subarus are worth more in New England, but money is money, right? I told him that I could get a flight down there right now for $220. If he could sell me the car for my quoted price, plus the 220, he had a deal. It was that easy for me. I wanted a couple extra things to go with the car that they didnt have. Those were taken care of as well at a discounted price. The kicker here is that the model I wanted wasn't available yet and I wasn't about to settle for a different car. They sent a guy up to Burlington, VT to pick up the car and drive it back to Saco, for free.

I left Patriot Subaru two days later with the car I wanted at the price that I could afford. Vinnie understood my situation and helped me make that happen. He is a no-nonsense good person. If he cannot get you what you want, he will tell you. If he can figure out a way to make it happen, I can honestly tell you, he will make it happen. Salesmen like Vinnie are the reason I bought my first Subaru, he's the reason I have bought my first three subarus and he's the reason I drive an hour to service my car at a dealer that I trust. I have the option to drive 20 minutes to another one. It's THAT worth it to me. It's 2011 and I know I'm a man with options and I do NOT waste my time with people that I don't trust.

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
My experience with Vinnie at Patriot Subaru was top notch! They are very professional, and were able to get me the vehicle I wanted. The sales process was seamless from start to finish. They made everything with the purchase extremely easy, and transparent. I have recommended several family, and friends to Vinnie & Patriot Subaru for both sales and service.

The best part of the purchase was after the sale. Continued excellent communication, and support is extremely valuable.

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
Vinnie worked really hard to get me a good interest rate on my loan and he got me a great deal on the car. This is the second car I have bought from him. He went above the call of duty and argued for a better rate because the worst thing on my credit wast't really my fault.
