I always receive top notch service here. My car is always repaired on time and under budget. I can not say the same for other dealerships on the area. repaired on time and under budget. I can not say the same for other dealerships on the area. More

Appointments do not matter at this establishment, I waited 4 hours to have my car serviced (oil change) and when I went out to ask if it was done it hadn’t even been in the mechanic bay yet. Mind you t waited 4 hours to have my car serviced (oil change) and when I went out to ask if it was done it hadn’t even been in the mechanic bay yet. Mind you this was an appointment for 9:30 and I didn’t leave till 1 in the afternoon. Very inconsiderate and poor customer service. More

Both the sales person Tristin, and the finance lead, Mr. Madrid were very customer service focused and easy to work with. They made the car buying experience an exciting one. Madrid were very customer service focused and easy to work with. They made the car buying experience an exciting one. More

Was happy with the atmosphere of the dealership and no high pressure sales. Trent did a great job explaining all the features of my new Subaru Ascent Touring model. high pressure sales. Trent did a great job explaining all the features of my new Subaru Ascent Touring model. More

One of the WORST customer service experiences I've ever had on the phone, followed by a great initial recovery by Julian Perez & crew. I bought a brand new 2020 ONYX XT in February of 2020 from Bob Bake had on the phone, followed by a great initial recovery by Julian Perez & crew. I bought a brand new 2020 ONYX XT in February of 2020 from Bob Baker Subaru. On December 26th of this already tumultuous year I went to start my less than year old Subaru with 7500 miles on it and it would not start. For obvious reasons it was quite an annoyance during the Holiday weekend and frankly anytime; considering owning a new car typically should not bring reliability questions into play. The next step was obviously to contact the dealership for advice and this is when a car issue became a customer issue. I call Bob Baker and the initial representative is fine enough, but I end up being transferred to whom I'm told is the Service Director. I explain that my car will not start and that I need to bring it in. This is where I was absolutely blind sided by some of the most blunt and inconsiderate interactions I've ever experienced in 43 years of my life. The conversation which by the way is about 45 seconds in length at this point (not long) goes like this: Customer- I need to bring my car in as it won't start and would like a complimentary loaner vehicle as you fix/xxxxx the issue Bob Baker- We don't offer complimentary loaner vehicles and we close in less than an hour. (And this is where it happened) Bob Baker- If you can make it here by closing we can try and find you a loaner (I briefly feel a bit relieved as my new car won't start but at least I can still have transportation...but then they keep talking) Bob Baker- "It's a Saturday and nobody wants to work on a Saturday. My guys have been here since 7AM and Subaru won't pay them overtime to stay" (Meanwhile I told him I could definitely be there within 10 minutes after closing, but I would try to be there beforehand) The fact of the matter is this, it's not like I was trying to squeeze in a last minute oil change or some basic preventative maintenance that could wait. I had a brand new Outback that wouldn't start and wasn't even given the slightest reassurance that it mattered to them! Maybe that's not a reflection on Subaru as a whole, but it definitely is of Bob Baker and specifically your Service Director. The worst part of this, besides the obvious (new car with issues) is the fact that he said "nobody wants to work on a Saturday". Odd thing is I work in Customer Relations and that was something you may think (I guess), but the lack of awareness to actually say it is incomprehensible. Oh and by the way, I DO work on Saturdays ... when I have a job that is allowed to be open (on furlough for 2nd time this year) The fact that I was made to feel my situation didn't matter as a first time new customer is forever etched in my overall impression of Bob Baker Subaru. Maybe it was a bad day and poor wording, but in 2020 you should NEVER assume other people don't work on Saturdays or wouldn't if they had the chance. On the other hand Julian Perez handled everthing in a way that I'd hoped to be treated as a customer. You can apply the same amount of emphasis written above in frustration/disappointment and flip it to appreciation and reassurance regarding my interactions with Julian!! More

I reached out to the internet sales department and all communications was done through emails and text messages. Everything went smoothly when I arrived and everyone is friendly. communications was done through emails and text messages. Everything went smoothly when I arrived and everyone is friendly. More
