4 stars. Could have been a 5 star but the paperwork took way too long, especially when we were paying cash. Nice and clean dealership. More

Things were great! Drove away with a Subaru Crosstrek and the customer service was awesome. The only thing I didn’t like was I was practically forced to purchase the extended warranty which I didn’t want but More

To provide a bit of a backstory, my wife and I began our used car search in Los Angeles. Every used dealership we came across is exactly what you see and hear about on TV (the slimy salesman shtick). We More

They lost my car in service queue, then hours later when I came to pick up rushed the service, unevenly inflated tires, and either didn't secure wheels or possibly messed up alignment. Car now has a vibra More

Great news just found out the strut went out which is covered under the warranty. Bob Baker technician did nothing wrong just a failure of the strut. Thanks

Jan 14, 2021 -

Unhappy subje owner responded

That's not quite correct. The wobble remained, and I took it back to the other dealer after the warranty strut replacement. They concluded that ALL FOUR wheels had been mounted improperly and none were balanced appropriately. While not as bas as fully putting the car out of alignment, your tech rushed the job and as a result I drove over 1,000 miles with an annoyingly jerky erratic ride that had me thinking not great thoughts about your dealership. I was also not impressed by Norman on the phone suggesting that balancing was not necessary and couldn't be the reason for my issue. Is this how you operate at Bob Baker Subaru?
