Capitol Subaru

I went in to test drive and look at new Outbacks and Foresters, trying to settle on which one I felt better with. I test drove both and ended up liking the Forester better and wanted to reserve a Forest Foresters, trying to settle on which one I felt better with. I test drove both and ended up liking the Forester better and wanted to reserve a Forester Sport that is still in transit. They took down my information and told me they would call me when it was in. They called me and told me they had access to a used Sport if I wanted to come down to test drive it, so I did. I get that their job is to sell cars, but I told them I was not interested in buying a car that day, and more specifically I was not interested in buying the used vehicle I was able to test drive. I had to repeatedly tell three people that I was not interested in buying a car today, and the last salesman I spoke to came up to me and presented me with a bunch of different pricing options (all of which were incredibly overpriced, even with the chip shortage). After I told him, again, that I wasn't interested in buying a car today, he said "I'm sorry, we were under the impression you were going to buy a car today. Since you aren't, we are going to have to refund the deposit you put down." I don't know how they came to that conclusion, but fine by me, I don't want to spend my money at a dealership that doesn't listen to its customers. When I inquired again about the status of my refund, I was repeatedly ignored until I called in, where they told me I wasn't in their system. So they took down all of my information, told me they reserved it, and never did. I haven't seen anything on my CC statement, so luckily I'm not out a deposit, but I don't know what they have done with my personal information (I was told I was going to receive a video of them shredding it, but I never received that either). I would be giving them a 1-star rating if it weren't for Christian Bone. He seemed to be the only one there that actually cared about what I wanted and was looking for, was friendlier than anyone else I spoke with in there, and answered all of my questions as honestly and as straightforward as he could. The others lied to me, ignored what I had to say, dodged questions, tried to scam me, and get me to overpay on a car that I did not want. More

I can’t speak to those of you looking for a new or slightly used vehicle. But for those of you looking for a more inexpensive used option I would recommend going somewhere else. Our experience here wa slightly used vehicle. But for those of you looking for a more inexpensive used option I would recommend going somewhere else. Our experience here was extremely mixed. Everyone we interacted with at Capitol Subaru was very friendly and eager to help. No complaints on that front. We did not have a bad car buying experience, however at the end of the day we were sold a lemon that we were unable to return and we are now stuck with a car that has a major oil problem that will cost over a third of the car’s value to repair. Although Capitol Subaru talks about 100% customer satisfaction 100% of the time, in my experience they did not deliver on this promise. My major complaints are: 1. Our sales person was very pushy and pressury at times. 2. When we tried to trade in our old vehicle Capitol Subaru gave us a quote that was half the KBB trade in price and ⅓ what we were able to sell it for in a private sale. They made up a lot of reasons for this that were simply false. 3. We were sold a warranty that was expensive and virtually useless. It did not end up covering the issues we were told it would cover. 4. Our sales person was either not transparent or not aware of the true condition of the vehicle we purchased as well as the limits of the warranty. 5. They employed very obvious sales techniques of “talking to their manager” or “seeing what they could do” to avoid being straightforward and direct with us. They would often over promise and under deliver and blame it on someone/something outside of their control. 6. When we had an issue the general manager avoided my calls and would not reply to my emails. Please learn from my mistakes! Here are my recommendations: 1. Don't get a Subaru between the years of 2011-15 as they have major oil consumption problems. 2. Use the three day window they give you to do a thorough check at a third party shop. Have them run an oil consumption test or a compression check as oil consumption is a major known Subaru problem. 3. Take your time and don’t get pressured by the sales staff 4. Read the warranty carefully. You can often refund the warranty within 60 days so that’s cool but read the fine print and know that they are going to try very hard to weasel out of paying for things. In summary: The staff are very friendly and sometimes helpful. There is an appearance here of 100% customer satisfaction but this felt hollow because we were given a lot of promises and kind words but a terrible product at the end of the day. So if you’re looking for a lower priced Subaru that is over 60k mi. (aka no longer under the Subaru coverage) I would recommend going somewhere else. This is not the place to buy a well used car in my experience. More

My husband and I purchased a 2020 outback limited from Capitol Subaru on 10/30. We planned to finance through the dealership, however, after we left the dealership we went to our credit union to see if th Capitol Subaru on 10/30. We planned to finance through the dealership, however, after we left the dealership we went to our credit union to see if they could beat the rate. Our credit union was able to beat the dealership rate by .25%. We immediately called Eduardo in finance and asked him to hold off and that the credit union would Fedex the loan balance by the 4th, he agreed. Eduardo said nothing about having already processed a loan or where he did. To our undersranding we had a loan with the credit union, who was sending a check for the balance of the loan to Capitol Subaru. Today I logged into my Chase account and found a Subaru account and all of the numbers matched the contract we went over with Eduardo at Capitiol Subaru, the contract that we told him to hold off on because we were going with the credit union. We have a confirmation receipt from Fedex that the payoff balance was delivered on the November 4th at 9:10am and was signed for by M. Munoz. I called Capitol Subaru today after seeing this new account on my Chase account, I was not able to speak to Eduardo and was actually put on hold and hung up on after asking for anyone else in finance. I called back and asked to speak to a supervisor or any finance employee. I do not remember the name of whom I spoke to, but the answer I received was completely unsatisfactory. The employee told me that the Fedexed checks remain in a pile until being sent to where they need to go and that this takes time so I should wait 5 more days. This is despite the fact that it has already been 10 days since receiving that payoff check. Furthermore, he could not confirm that the check had even been sent to payoff the unauthorized loan because whoever was able to check was gone for the day. He told me Eduardo would send an email and then get in contact with us. I have no idea what ANY of this means. He did not confirm or fix anything for us. From my understanding I now have 2 open loans on one car, this is 100% unacceptable. Capitol Subaru should never have finalized that loan with, come to find out Chase, and even if they did make a mistake and do so it should have been paid off with the check from the credit union right away and my husband and I should have been notified. If I did not already have a Chase account I would not have known this occurred, thank god I caught the mistake. I will never recommend this dealership this experience has been too horrifying. Getting into minus stars here... My husband and I went in the day after leaving the first review, friday, and saw eduardo in person. He said he noticed the loan had gone through himself that morning.... okay... and he had already called the bank to cancel the loan, but he could not give us any written proof of cancellation yet. He claims he set our loan documents aside when we called from the credit union and then left for a few days off. Apparently, some one else saw the loan and sent it in. So our important personal information was left "out" and some other employee came in and opened a loan without asking any questions? On Monday I received a paper statement of the loan from chase, so I called just to confirm the process of cancellation had been started. A chase representative informed me that no efforts had been made to stop this loan, it appears to be simply, an open loan. My husband called chase again on Tuesday. Turns out the dealership sent the paperwork in THAT MORNING for cancellation. So we are being lied too... I am just absolutely disgusted.... so far Capitol Subaru has: Opened and unauthorized loan Taken zero responsibility for their mistake, 100% unapologetic Mishandled personal information Lied to us Refused to provide us with documentation of any cancellation for the unauthorized loan Stay FAR away from this dealership.

Worst experience ever We had a horrible experience here. We were made false promises for a deal that would be 30k and zero down. Despite several exchanged texts and calls t We had a horrible experience here. We were made false promises for a deal that would be 30k and zero down. Despite several exchanged texts and calls to comfirm the pricing to avoid wasting our time driving 3 hours here, we were told that it was a "typo" upon closing the deal. Not during the 2 hours we were there, but at closing! I do not agree it was a typo. There were numerous chances to correct that "typo", hence we had multiple texts AND calls regarding the 30k. All of which the salesman confirmed the price. He could have been cleared with us when we arrived to avoid wasting more of our time rather than waiting until he handed the keys to us, before pretty much saying, "btw...its not 30k and you need money down". This was definitely a LIE, a bait to mislead a customer into driving 3 hours just to make a sale. The salesman also never asked if our trade-in had any negative equity, then blamed us for not mentioning it to him! And worst, amongts the numerous times that he left his desk to speak with the sales manager, he never once mentioned his LIE or "typo". The sales manager was unaware of the reason we drove 3 hours there until WE asked to speak with him, explaining why we were not accepting this completely new offer we were given. The sales manager, which was an xxx hole himself, never once apologized for wasting our time. He did not try of offer or help us with our purchase and simply said with a straight face, the salesman is incorrect with the price and we either take the offer or leave. When we told him we could not take the offer, he gave no care and simply looked away and continued on with his papers. It was a total waste of our time. I can forget about the drive, but cannot forgive the dishonesty of the salesman and careless attitude of the sales manager. Please dont lie to your customers and be accountable for your mistakes!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. More

Hard to buy a car from this place! This was a very disappointing dealership. THEY ARE L:IARS!!! My family have been Honda people and we heard wonderful things about the Subaru car. We w This was a very disappointing dealership. THEY ARE L:IARS!!! My family have been Honda people and we heard wonderful things about the Subaru car. We went to check out and were dealt with by a very knowledgeable salesman, Jun, who really helped us get a feel for the automobile and answered all our questions very well. The car felt good and we decided to sleep on it and came back the next day. We test drove it again and checked out many things about it and felt we were ready to pitch an offer. It was never explained to us that this dealership can't haggle and they have their prices set. My husband did plenty of research to find comparable models that were cheaper, but with 10K-20K more miles. Upon our negotiations with the financial manager Maria, we mentioned we were pre-approved with our credit union and stated we had our auto convenience check. We even mentioned the name of our credit union, in which she stated that "we deal with them all the time". Maria went through what appeared to be negotiations as we talked over price. She kept going to ask her manager and coming back, would talk with us some more about a lower price and go back. Finally the head sales manager came over and told us flat out that they are DGDG and they don't haggle and he wouldn't even drop the price $10 if we asked him. We accepted our defeat and went home. We were contacted by Jun again checking up and realized that they had dropped the price after the end of the 3rd quarter. We went back in with a cash down payment and our check once again, filled out information and were ready to purchase. They asked my husband to initial next to paperwork that stated the price of the car + fees. I asked for a breakdown of what the fees were before he initialed. I was told that we would be paying a license fee of 1.25%, taxes and a few other things. We were then asked to provide SSN#s, in which I declined, stating we were pre-approved with our own financing and that they had our licenses and insurance info. The financial manage came out and laid down a "Credit Application", stating they needed our SSN# to verify who we were. My husband asked if we both needed to, and he said "Yes". When I asked why, since we had our auto convenience check and cash down deposit, he stated that I needed a cashier's check with the amount pre-filled in. They hadn't even given us the full amount of what we would be paying, we had all documentation, and I even offered to call my bank and they still wanted our SSN#s. On top of that the new financial guy stated that he didn't know our credit union, after Maria had told us they did business with them all the time. To add to this, they apparently had another upset customer who was cursing up a storm by "being messed with". This was our second time in there, ready to pay at full price, with a bank issued auto convenience check and sizable cash down payment and they still continued to insist upon our SSN#. I know they have a right to ask, but it seemed very shady, the whole deal. My husband and I decided to walk away as screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me. I did not want to deal further with the company. It was a great car and I feel sorry for Jun, as he is a wonderful salesman, who is just working at the wrong place. More
