Better Than any Other Dealership I Have Dealt with. I was in the market for a new car. I tried several dealerships in my area and was very disappointed. I decided to look into the Subaru dealership in B I was in the market for a new car. I tried several dealerships in my area and was very disappointed. I decided to look into the Subaru dealership in Burlington. I first looked online at the inventory and and started dealing with Crystal Careau. She Was very prompt to answer any questions i had and was very knowledgeable. I went to the dealership and looked at the car i was interested in. I had dealt with other dealerships with poor results. I was very surprised at how i was treated. Crystal was very honest and i was impressed with her professional manner. I was very comfortable when talking with her about the model car i was interested in. I was very pleased with the purchase of my new car and am very thankful that Crystal was who i dealt with. I would recommend Crystal very highly to anyone looking to purchase a car from Burlington Subaru. Thank you More

Frustrated Brought in at 0730 for a 915 check in time. Did not get to my car until 3:30 still not ready at 5:30. They always say they are short staffed. Said Brought in at 0730 for a 915 check in time. Did not get to my car until 3:30 still not ready at 5:30. They always say they are short staffed. Said time of appt is only a drop off time. No relationship to when your service gets done Six hour delay to getting to my car then I had to wait. Car was not washed and I do not have a neat and tidy car but the steering wheel cover was left in the floor. Once I complained the customer service Became better. More

Do Not Deal With Burlington Subaru Beware, something shady is going on at Burlington Subaru. I was looking to purchase a new Subaru and finance it. Ran my credit through Subaru.com’s Beware, something shady is going on at Burlington Subaru. I was looking to purchase a new Subaru and finance it. Ran my credit through Subaru.com’s finance system and it said I was approved. But the finance folks at the dealership “ran my credit” they said I DID NOT qualify through Subaru, and I’d have to use an external bank (with a much higher interest rate of course) which they were happy to put me in contact with. I informed them that I had a cosigner with perfect credit, so this time when they “ran it I “qualified” but only if I put over $3000 down on the vehicle. I was in contact with another Subaru dealership and had them run my credit. I qualified through Subaru financing just FINE, NO cosigner, NO money down. The criminal part is that the other Subaru dealership informed me that if Burlington Subaru had actually run my credit via Subaru finance and I’d been denied, the other dealerships would have seen it and not been able to approve me at all. In other words, they either never ran my credit and lied to me, or they didn’t run it via the proper Subaru channels, and lied to me. Clearly, they did this in an attempt to extract more cash from me at first by trying to force me to take a much higher interest rate, and after that failed by putting a lot of cash down up front. Greedy and Dishonest, they should be ashamed of themselves. Needless to say, I went to the other Subaru dealership and bought from them instead, more on that in a minute. On top of that there were several other problems I encountered at Burlington Subaru. First, they pressured me into signing a non-refundable deposit on a car I liked. Talking to the other Subaru dealership, this is against Subaru policy as it should be a refundable hold which they don’t charge (Burlington Subaru charged it right away). Luckily, I made sure the deposit was only valid if they got me the deal I wanted, which they didn’t. But as soon as I decided to go with the other dealership, Burlington Subaru refused to refund my deposit. I had to talk extensively to a manager to get it refunded and it was done very begrudgingly. They kept insisting they deserved something for “doing the work” (aka trying to rip me off). Not to mention every dealership does the same work. Second, they would not negotiate on the price of the car after the initial sit down, or on the extended warranty at all. When I informed them that the other Subaru Dealership was offering me over $1300 cheaper on the same package, they responded with “isn’t there something we can do?” Yes, lower your prices! That didn’t seem to be an option. So not only was this other dealership actually on the up and up about financing, they also ended up being over $1300 cheaper on the exact same car! TL;DR—Shady financial department, wouldn’t budge on pricing, shady deposit scheme. Avoid at all costs! Too many other good Subaru dealerships in the state to get stuck at Burlington Subaru. More

Crystal was responsive, helpful and extremely professional and courteous via email and phone prior to my visit to the dealership. She made me feel comfortable from the moment I entered the showroom to the moment I left with my new Outback. Crystal is a very knowledgeable and extremely proficient member of the sales staff. I was impressed with her all around integrity regarding my purchase. I HIGHLY recommend Crystal Careau to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. A+++++ More

I strongly recommend him to everyone who is looking for a new ride and a gooood deal. More

In particular, Sheryl has helped us out a few times in the past with her knowledge and ability to quickly resolve a problem. I brought our Impreza in a few months ago on a Sat PM during a snow storm because the driver's side wiper arm was not working. Thinking I'd have to leave it there for a few days until a service appointment opened up, she grabbed her tools from behind the counter (what customer service person has a toolbox behind the counter?!), showed me how to access the bolt, and had the wiper working in 2 minutes. Prior to that, during the summer, I was commenting that our Forester required oil being added between oil changes, which had me concerned that if the oil light went on I could damage the engine if I wasn't able to top it up immediately. She gave me a complete explanation of how much oil is left when the sensor is triggered and how much I would need to add, which was spot on. I really appreciated the reassurances. Moved to VT 2 years ago, and prices are competitive in comparison to previous locations. Sometimes it takes a while to get a non-urgent service appointment, but that's a good indication of popularity/satisfaction. More
