An Abhorrent Customer Service Experience Avoid at all costs. One of the most abhorrent customer service experiences I've ever had with a company. My husband and I purchased a 2017 Subaru Fore More

Alison, I regret to learn about your overall feedback for us and we’re sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused you. We pride ourselves on providing a fully transparent, and professional sales experience to all of our guests. I personally answered all calls and emails I received from you. I wouldn't hide from anyone, especially our clients. During our last conversation, we went over your whole agreement and unfortunately, since you opted out of getting an extended warranty this process was not covered by the time of your July service. I also, explained that our dealership doesn't practice verbal agreements but everything is in writing to ensure things that are promised are never forgotten. It is always our #1 goal to satisfy our customers, and I apologize that we've fallen short of that. We hope that we are able to work with you again in the future. Sincerely, Michael Chiusano

I appreciate the response Michael - but while you say your dealership doesn't practice verbal agreements in practice, the fact of the matter is, that's exactly what your sales agent did in reality. So you might want to speak with your team about that policy. We should have requested the IOU in writing, but as first time buyers, made the mistake of trusting it would be offered to us if necessary. Also, I counted 13 outgoing calls in my call log to the dealership where I left messages with staff and 2-3 of those were answered. On top of that, the "10% discount" you were able to do us "as a favor" was already part of the buyers benefits we would have received any - wow, what a generous favor! This was our first car purchase, so sorry to say you have lost us a long-term customers. We will not be purchasing with you again and are making sure our friends, family, and social media contacts know about our experience as well.

Hello Alison, On the day you picked up the car we had docs signed saying we didn’t owe you anything. Verbal conversations in any business can not be binding as it is all hearsay and no one knows if any parties said any of the things that were mentioned. I hope you can understand why businesses can not accept verbal agreements. I have spoken to my team and no one remembers that conversation, they do remember going over the NYS Lemon Law warranty and what is covered and unfortunately that item is not covered. We offered you an extended warranty agreement to purchase to cover the whole car mechanically but unfortunately you turned it down which would have covered the part in question. This is an unfortunate issue and we do apologize however I am sure if you were a business owner you would understand where we stand and why we can not accept a verbal conversation that you might have had with our staff. The 10% discount was in fact the Buyers Benefits, I never claimed I gave you that discount for the job performed. That discount was part of what your entitled to as a thank you for buying a car from us as well as the other benefits you will receive. As for the messages, whenever you called me I followed back up with you, I even called you on my day off from my home. I went out to you when you visited the showroom on Saturday (I would have met with you after my appointment but I understand you could not wait for me). Everything I promised you, I did for you and I went above and beyond to look into this situation but there is nothing more I could have done. However thank you for letting me know my off site call center might not have forwarded all your messages to us that is something I will not stand for and will rectify. In closing I am sorry we did not satisfy you. We try to go above and beyond for our clients and we do the right thing however this was an unfortunate issue that occurred and could not do anything more for you. Sincerely, Michael A. Chiusano General Sales Manager

All I'll say is that this experience has proved that car dealerships and used car salesmen have a sketchy reputation in our culture for a reason :)

The process took hours and hours which it shouldn't have. Finance also took very long and didn’t get a good deal. I am happy with the car and price and service team but other parts took too long. More
