Competition Subaru of Smithtown

Leasing a new vehicle We visited many dealers (Honda of Huntington, Honda of Smithtown, Ford, Kia, etc.) and experienced everything from sales associates who didn't know mu We visited many dealers (Honda of Huntington, Honda of Smithtown, Ford, Kia, etc.) and experienced everything from sales associates who didn't know much about the cars they were selling and some (Honda of Smithtown, in particular) who even insulted other (Honda) dealers, who were obviously leasing and/or selling the very same vehicle! What kind of "logic" is involved in THAT kind of enterprise, eh? Ford and Kia (for the most part) were what we expected: competent dealers with friendly associates! None of the bad things mentioned above happened at "Competition Subaru of Smithtown!" There, we received competent---no, extremely knowledgeable and friendly!--- assistance in leasing a new vehicle! Our experience at "Competition Subaru" was--by far!---the best experience we EVER had buying (or leasing) a new vehicle! Over several decades (let us not reveal too much of our "decrepit-ness," eh?), we bought new cars, never once considering to lease a vehicle. Well, the sales associate (Jeff Barkan) explained everything to us in simple English and treated us like human beings, not "car-hungry customers with deep pockets." It was very clear to us that "Competition Subaru" was light-years ahead of the others....as Jeff drove out in a brand new Subaru to help us get to the dealership to pick up our new Subaru, as friends and relatives weren't available on such short notice to help us get there and drive home happy as two kids with ice cream cones and no homework! LOL Sometimes "being an adult" means getting back to "the basics" -- treat people like family and "the rest" is pure fun! We eagerly recommend "Competition Subaru of Smithtown!" More

Best Sales Consultant Ever! I worked with Jeff Barkan for the first time when I bought my beautiful 2010 Subaru Forester 4 years ago. I had purchased two cars from other dealersh I worked with Jeff Barkan for the first time when I bought my beautiful 2010 Subaru Forester 4 years ago. I had purchased two cars from other dealerships previously and I was ready for a headache. I couldn't have been more wrong! Jeff was so easy to work with and his knowledge of the car, as well as the entire process, was unsurpassed. He answered ALL of my questions and explained everything. The only surprise in the entire process was how quickly he located the exact car I wanted in the exact color! He went out of his way to find it and get it to me from Connecticut! Needless to say, when that Subaru was unfortunately totaled last month there wasn't a question in my or my husband's mind as to who we would call. Once again Jeff Barkan came through. He met with us, thoroughly explained the changes from my old car to the new one, worked with us to have our new Subaru exactly as we wanted it, and actually had it ready for pick up before we were even ready to pick it up! He even set up my Bluetooth! I think the best part of buying my car from Jeff is that I didn't walk away wondering if I got the best deal, wondering if I could have 'done better'. He was honest and upfront and that to me is priceless. I'm hoping not to have to buy a car again anytime soon but if you do I cannot recommend Jeff Barkan enough! More

2014 XV Crosstrek From the moment we walked in, to the day we drove away in our new vehicle, the treatment and experiance was nothing short of fantastic. I cannot recal From the moment we walked in, to the day we drove away in our new vehicle, the treatment and experiance was nothing short of fantastic. I cannot recall an easier, laid back professional transaction in buying a new car in my 30+ years. Jeff Barkan quoted a very competitive price, located the vehicle we wanted and delivered same with honesty and quality service. I would recommend this dealership and sales person to anyone looking for a Subaru. Dante & Diane Abbate More

I’ve bought many cars (new and used) in my lifetime and without a doubt, Jeff far surpasses the best experience I have ever had with the process. I needed to assist my daughter with a new auto purchase when her car was rear ended and totaled. Being the good father, I decided to front run the deal and get the best price for her. Jeff was not pushy, listened to my needs and made some excellent safety suggestions with the Subaru EyeSight option that really caught my attention. After deciding on a selection and realizing the car we needed was not locally available, Jeff proceeded to go above and beyond by finding a car in another state and having it transported here at no additional charge. Jeff was never pushy, made thoughtful suggestions and let the deal close itself. When the car was delivered on a day we could only arrive late, Jeff stayed after hours and took lots of time with my daughter to familiarize her with every aspect of her new car. He also gave me lots of credit for putting the deal together that was actually his work. If I ever need another Subaru or know someone who does I would be honored to recommend Jeff to them. More

2013 Subaru BRZ We purchased a brand new 2013 Subaru BRZ for my wife last year at Competion Subaru. Erik Tops took care all the things for us, from ordering the car t We purchased a brand new 2013 Subaru BRZ for my wife last year at Competion Subaru. Erik Tops took care all the things for us, from ordering the car to giving us the key. Since the options we want for the BRZ was not in stock, he ordered a car exactly how we want it. We already know Erik back then since he was still in Dodge-Jeep dealership in Medford, so when we saw him at Subaru the day we are looking for a new car we didn't hesitate to make a deal with him because we know we are with a professional and honest guy. My wife and I really love our BRZ, that little car is always fun to drive. We are planning to add another car maybe 2 years from now and we will go for the AWD WRX this time and of course we will still go to Erik for an honest to goodness deal! More
