Lots of choice on pre-owned in stock. No Haggle pricing. Car fax handed over on request. Good follow up after sale. Rick Stockton did a good job on the sale. Low pressure, but very informative. On a ve Car fax handed over on request. Good follow up after sale. Rick Stockton did a good job on the sale. Low pressure, but very informative. On a very cold night, he had 3 cars we were interested in warmed up and waiting in the service garage for us to look at. More
We made a couple of preliminary scouting visits and then came back ready to buy. We were served by a different sales person each time since the prevoius ones were busy and we had not made an appointment. came back ready to buy. We were served by a different sales person each time since the prevoius ones were busy and we had not made an appointment. However, each was conscientious, respectful, and anxious to please. None were the typical commission-driven car sales people. Sam Texler spent a lot of time showing us the used and new options, explaining the differences, and answering all our questions. He also halped us crunch tghe numbers on 3 options that we narrowed things fown to. He was supportive in getting us a reasonable price for our trade-in and in trying to find a way to make a 2nd car work. The final session with the "finance/business manager" was reasonable, without too much pressure to sign up for extended warranties, etc. Overall a very satisfactgory experience. More
I needed a new car on a limited budget. Sales Consultant, Richard Knel, was a reassuring gentleman throughout the process. He worked with my wife and me patiently listening to our needs and detailing a varie Richard Knel, was a reassuring gentleman throughout the process. He worked with my wife and me patiently listening to our needs and detailing a variety of options. When money became a top priority, he introduced the idea of a low mileage pre-owned car. We found a 2010 model with everything we wanted plus some options for just over $20,000. The next morning, I returned to look at the car in daylight. No one was available to work with me. An elderly gentleman behind the counter stood up and escorted me outside to find the selected vehicle. It was Bill Kolb, Jr. himself! He was very positive and helpful. Paul Spiegel was efficient and very clear in going over all of the financing details. I will return to this dealer for my next car, too! More

Rick is a fantastic sales representative. He was very friendly and patient while we spent several weeks picking out our new to us car. The no-haggle policy of Bill Kolb Jr. Subaru completely took away th friendly and patient while we spent several weeks picking out our new to us car. The no-haggle policy of Bill Kolb Jr. Subaru completely took away the discomfort often felt when interacting with a salesperson. This dealership's prices are the lowest around- even when you consider the potential amount taken off after stressfully haggling with other dealerships. Paul Speigel was the finance guy we worked with. He worked with me to get my payment to within my comfort zone, and even made a last minute change over the phone for me after I had left the dealership. I'm not quite sure why people have complained about Bill Kolb Subaru. Did they have unrealistic expectations? Their 30 day return policy was fully explained to me before purchasing my car (if you return a car, you then pay Kelly Blue Book value for your new car choice- this makes sense to me. They have to be able to recoup some money to get the originally purchased vehicle ready to be re-sold again- now with up to 500 more miles on it). I felt no pressure from my salesperson, Rick Stockton, or my financer, Paul Spiegel. I went into the dealership having done lots of online and other dealership research, so I knew exactly what I wanted. I visited Bill Kolb Jr Subaru three times before making my purchase. Oh, and did I mention Rick drove an hour to deliver my new car to me- with a full tank of gas! I couldn't be happier, and plan to buy my next car from Rick as well. More

Sam is the best sales rep!Very friendly and professional. Over the past 7 years we have bought 5 cars from him. We have recommended him to others who also have been satisfied. The service has also Over the past 7 years we have bought 5 cars from him. We have recommended him to others who also have been satisfied. The service has also been great. The fact that they are located next to a bike/walk trail makes going there (40 miles) enjoyable. More
I leased a 2007 Tribeca, the dealership is the typical 'we dont give our sales guys any say in the negotiation and will leave you sitting while we talk to the business mananger' place. Luckily, I had pri 'we dont give our sales guys any say in the negotiation and will leave you sitting while we talk to the business mananger' place. Luckily, I had priced out the car first. The real pain is dealing with the service, between constantly pushing to get service done, and wanting the car in for everything, there is no simple communication. I have brought the car in for head light changes twice(under warrantee), but when I go its a list of lists saying what I need to get done on the car, trying to push me to do more than I brought it in for. They even 'threatened' that I would be charged for services when I return the lease if I did not get the services performed there. Also, dealing with them on the phone is not easy. For example, I knew the car needed brakes, 45k on the original set. I called for an estimate, and I use the word estimate because I was only looking for an approximation of costs (brakes, rotars, fluid change). It was like pulling teeth to get an answer because 'he didnt know what needed to be done'. Which, in the end proves my point. What else can he try to get me to do for the vehicle. Finally, their quarterly phone calls for getting you to come in, a bit tacky. Probably will not get another Subaru, if I did, probably would not be from Kolb. More
I was very apprehensive about purchasing a used Subaru from Bill Kolb, due to all of the negative reviews about the dealership I read online. However, I had a very good and smooth experience with my tran from Bill Kolb, due to all of the negative reviews about the dealership I read online. However, I had a very good and smooth experience with my transaction and ended up getting a great deal on a used car (under $15k for 2009 Subaru Legacy with 32k miles, leather, sunroof and Harmon Kardon stereo system) and manufacturer Gold Extended warranty ($1375 including tax for 7 years / 100k miles / $0 deductible coverage). I've had the car for about 5 weeks now and put about 1,500 miles on it and have had no problems. I think I had a good experience for a couple reasons: 1) lots of research - I did tons of research on what type of car, mileage, amenities, warranty, price, and even which garage I would use to check the car before purchasing. At the time I was looking for a car, Bill Kolb had the cheapest Subarus (and a no haggle pricing policy, which took the entire price negotiation part of used car buying out of the equation) out of the entire nation according to Autotrader and I was particularly interested in 2 of their cars 2) my sales guy, Jerry Taylor, was excellent - I scheduled an appointment a day before, showed up and took a look at both cars that I was interested in, and then asked Jerry if we could take a test drive of the lower priced car to a garage I had already picked out for used car inspection. The lower priced car was already in the service department, but Jerry had the service guys take the car down so we could go for a test drive to the inspection garage. We did the inspection, and not only were there no issues with the car, but they pointed out that the tires and front brakes were brand new...Jerry agreed to have the service department put in new back brakes, so with the 4 brand new tires and 4 brand new brakes, I figured I was getting probably an additional $1k in new parts. 3) I shopped around for my Gold Extended Warranty - you can purchase the Gold Extended Warranty (which is essentially an extension of the manufacturers original warranty beyond the original 3 years / 36k miles) from any Subaru dealership. I already found a great price for the warranty I wanted from a Subaru dealership in Massachusetts (Don Mastria) before walking into Bill Kolb. The price Bill Kolb originally quoted me for the identical warranty I had picked out from Don Mastria was about 3x the cost that Don Mastria quoted me. However, Bill Kolb quickly agreed to sell the warranty for $25 less than what Don Mastria quoted me, so I ended up purchasing the warranty from Bill Kolb. The warranty I purchased is a Subaru manufacturer warranty, so it is good anywhere in the U.S. and Canada at all Subaru dealerships. I will probably never bring my car into Bill Kolb for servicing because there are a number of other Subaru dealerships that are closer to me. However, for the purchase of a used car and very comprehensive warranty, I was very happy with my experience at Bill Kolb. It was certainly something that I originally did not expect. More
