Beardmore Subaru

When my husband and I recently decided to buy a new Subaru Forester, our local Subaru dealership here in Sioux Falls, SD wanted a ridiculous price. Their idea of a "fair price" was to add a wholly bogu Subaru Forester, our local Subaru dealership here in Sioux Falls, SD wanted a ridiculous price. Their idea of a "fair price" was to add a wholly bogus $1,069 "dealer prep" fee and $200 "documentation" fee to the MSRP then graciously knock them off and try to charge folks nearly full retail on a vehicle. We emailed other Subaru dealers in Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota to check on Forester models available and get price quotes. We finally purchased a Forester 2.5i CVT from Beardmore Subaru. Even after the expense of a 6-hour round-trip drive to Bellevue, NE, we saved around $1,600 over what Schulte Subaru in Sioux Falls wanted to charge us. The salesman we dealt with at Beardmore Subaru was Tom Howard. Mr. Howard was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and made the transaction as simple and straightforward as possible. More

We leased a new 2013 subaru impreza from this dealership after test dring the vehicle a week prior. There was a price mistake online and our salesman went to bat for us to honor the price listed. We could after test dring the vehicle a week prior. There was a price mistake online and our salesman went to bat for us to honor the price listed. We could not be happier with the price of the car and the integrity demonstrated by this dealership. I was out the door in less than 3 hours. More

Recently had an addition to family. Needed to upgrade vehicles. I brought our 10 week old child in to make sure his car seat fit how we wanted it. Thane understood we were on a time crunch and made the vehicles. I brought our 10 week old child in to make sure his car seat fit how we wanted it.

I flew in from SWMO to drive home a low-mileage used car. I had specific questions which were specifically answered--unfortunately, some of the answers were not accurate. I ultimately still wanted and boug I had specific questions which were specifically answered--unfortunately, some of the answers were not accurate. I ultimately still wanted and bought the car, but without some of the desired features I was seeking. Rick Ham was an accommodating sales person and even gave me a ride from the airport. Financing, which I had asked to be addressed before I left, had not been touched until I sat down in the finance office. I asked for this because of my local relationships with banks where I've been financed at competitive rates. The finance manager saw no auto loans on my credit report (I owned two already, and paid off early) with a 5yo "ding" on my report and started quoting rates at, I kid you not, 10.99% on a 60 month note. After I got my own bank on the phone, it magically started to decrease as she stepped in with her manager to see if she could do anything for me. I ask the industry as a whole: Do you believe the public so naive as to think we don't know you (the dealer) in your dealings with your lenders can still make more money at the financing table, as a percentage of the cost of lending, and that the rates are only as competitive as they have to be? To be clear, my FICO, was just shy of 700 at the time of purchase. NOT impressed with financing. The service department claimed the vehicle checked out, however, a carrier bearing was about to go out and I didn't feel it until 1,000 miles post-purchase. My fault for not putting the thing on a lift, but if a DEALER claims to have had it checked out, as opposed to a sketchy used car independent, I'm more inclined to believe them. It's on me ($1800), but I still like my car--I just would've negotiated more in retrospect. More

I was never in the building more than a minute without someone asking if I needed anything or would like something to drink. The whole staff there went out of their way to make me feel welcome. Thane was very helpful explaining the Navigation system to my husband and myself. Our overall experience was great and we will be back the next time we want to purchase a new car. More

The service was friendly. I wanted to make the sale happen that day, and several members stayed late to help me make that happen. Every step was handled professionally and questions were followed up so happen that day, and several members stayed late to help me make that happen. Every step was handled professionally and questions were followed up so there was no miscommunication. Verbal agreements from both sides were followed up with paper copies for both sides to sign so there was never a concern about "what he/she said was..." They gave the impression that they were there to make money, but not by taking advantage of people. More

I would recommend Bearmore Subaru anyday!! The positives I thought were: They didn't bother me too much at home while I thought about the process of buying the car. That I liked... they didn't seem to be t I thought were: They didn't bother me too much at home while I thought about the process of buying the car. That I liked... they didn't seem to be too pushy. Another positive would be that I got the car I wanted for the price I planned on paying for it. I can't really argue with that!! A small negative would be it took about 6 hours to buy the car. I just wish it didn't take so long to go from salesperson presenting a price then you counter offering and then they go back upstairs to the head house and come back and you keep going back and forth over and over again. However, I had the time in my day to play the game and I think both parties were happy with the sale. Another positive thing I found was I saw a small imperfection the next day and took it back to them and they fixed it right away...no questions asked. That was nice. Yes some could say that is what they should have done. True but they didn't make me feel at all that it was any part of my doing!! I was just glad not to hear.... well you did check it over and drove it off the lot but we will see what we can do. That is excellent customer service. Most of all so far I love the Subaru Outback!! I am getting great gas milage, its comfortable and has everything I wanted. More

I am very satisfied with my visit. I live in Manhattan, KS, and my local dealer was NOT doing a good job helping me find a Subaru that fit my needs, so when I found Beardmore and spoke with Rick Ham I knew KS, and my local dealer was NOT doing a good job helping me find a Subaru that fit my needs, so when I found Beardmore and spoke with Rick Ham I knew I was in good hands! Rick helped me immensely and made sure I was fully satisfied with my visit. I also got exactly the price I wanted and the car I wanted! If you go to Beardmore, ask for Rick! He's great!! More

Nick Lawson and Brian Kucks were very helpful, friendly, informative and easy to talk to. They paid attention to what I wanted and needed in a vehicle and searched their inventory until they found something informative and easy to talk to.
