Thank you for your kind comments regarding Sonny! I am delighted to hear he met your expectations and that you are happy with your Subaru. I am sorry that you had a bit of a wait for your salesperson. We strongly encourage customers to call ahead and make an appointment, as you suggested, so we can ensure we dedicate time to your particular needs. We respect your time is valuable and want to ensure you have the best experience possible. Realizing that it is not possible to always call ahead to make an appointment we try to have enough sales staff on hand to accommodate any customer who walks in. In fact, we need to hire additional salespeople if you happen to know of anyone that might be interested!! Enjoy your Subaru! Have a wonderful day! Maryann Kolb President

Wayne and Chris: You are wonderful customers and now two time Subaru customers! Congratulations! We are glad to hear you appreciate our No Haggle Sales Experience. We, too, think it is insulting for you to have to go back and forth from sales person to sales manager to purchase a car. That is why we try to make it as easy as possible to purchase a car from us. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you! Thank you, Maryann Kolb President

Excellent feedback! I am pleased someone what avaialable to show your our huge selection of used cars. We had select each pre-owned vehicle we have available for sale. We do ask that each customer sees our Delivery Coordinator (Financial Guy). He is responsible to actually scheduling the delivery date and time of your vehicle and ensuring you have all of the required paperwork you need with you to pick up the car (even when paying cash). I apologize you had to wait for him during your visit. Sonny enjoyed taking car of you and assisting you in selecting the perfect vehicle for you. Enjoy your Subaru! We do appreciate your business.

Thank you for your comments. We do appreciate your business. You are right. Sonny is a very professional and knowledgable sales consultant. I am happy to hear your experience with him was a positive one. We request every one of customers to speak to our "finance guy" (we prefer to call him our Delivery Coordinator). He is responsible for scheduling the actual delivery of your vehicle and making sure the information is gathered properly to ensure we title and register your vehicle correctly. I apologize if there was a delay in you speaking to him. I respect your time is valuable. Thank you for taking the time to express your comments. Enjoy your Subaru, and thank you for your business.

Thank you for your comments. You must be extremely excited to be driving a new WRX! Excellent choice! Fabulous car! We have not had any customers complain about the handling in the snow on the WRX. Your comments are very valid. I would suggest contact Subaru at 1-800-SUBARU3 (782-2783) and see what they would recommend. We appreciate your business. Enjoy your WRX! Maryann Kolb President

Well how many cars do you sell with Summer tires - probably not a high %? Bottom line Maryann, you are negligent in rolling cars off your lot in November with tires that the manufacturer specifically says not to use. At least take this as constructive feedback and stop doing it. Your practice here conflicts with everyday logic. If you play it right you can make money off of this situation - think about it.

Thank you for your comments. The issue regarding the extended warranty and maintenance agreement was not the result of an error on our part. It was an honest human error by the warranty company. We were happy we could get the matter resolved once it was brought to our attention. We provide a "ball park" amount for a trade in when the customer does not have the actual car for us to evaluate. The actual trade in amount is determine upon physical inspection and test drive of the car. The amount given is determined by several factors: Overall Interior and Exterior Condition, Actual Mileage, Prior Maintenance Records, Remaining Tread Depth on the Tires etc. I can assure you, as one of the country's largest Subaru dealers, we give you the absolute highest amount for your trade in vehicle. I hope you are enjoying your Subaru. I thank you for the opportunity to address this matter for you. Sincerely, Maryann Kolb President

Unfortunately I can not look up your recent service visit unless I have your name. I would like to review the technician notes regarding his diagnostic analysis of your vehicle. When I have the proper information I will be in the best position to discuss this matter with you. I look forward to hearing from you.

We are one of the few Subaru dealership with the highest number of MASTER and "A" Subaru technicians in the business. All of my technicians are fully Subaru Certified and have won numerous Quality Awards for their outstanding diagnosis and repair abilities. Of course, I will not charge you to look at the clutch and motor mount if indeed there is a problem. The bottom line is we need to arrange for the vehicle to be here so we can all take the next steps. I will wait to hear from you.
