My husband and I were in the market for a larger car for our family. We were considering the Subaru Outback and went to Competition Subaru because it was the closest to our house. Phil Bruno helped us cho our family. We were considering the Subaru Outback and went to Competition Subaru because it was the closest to our house. Phil Bruno helped us choose a beautiful 2014 Outback. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire experience! We never once felt pressure to negotiate or to buy. He was knowledgable, friendly and available. He even communicated with us by phone during the buying process because we had a vacation scheduled. We wound up with a great car for a great price. Work with Phil at Competition Subaru if you are looking for a stress-free car buying experience. More

My new 2014 Outback was delivered last week, very soon My new 2014 Outback was delivered last week, very soon after my salesman, Jeff Barkan, and I worked out the options. Mr, Barkan was extremely helpf My new 2014 Outback was delivered last week, very soon after my salesman, Jeff Barkan, and I worked out the options. Mr, Barkan was extremely helpful, friendly, and efficient in leading me to the final order. He phoned me today to make sure I was happy with the new car that I picked up last week. This is not surprising to me, because he was the same way three years ago when I ordered my 2011 Outback. At that time I ordered a color that displeased my wife on delivery day. When we discussed our dislike of the color with Jeff and Vinny, the manager, we were promptly offered another car with the color of our choice without extra cost or penalty, although the original car had been customized. After such personal care in 2010, why would we go elsewhere? We subsequently referred a friend to Jeff Barkan--and he was very pleased as well with his purchase. Other members of the team at Competition Subaru that we have dealt with, David Leonard and Jackie Scurry, also help to provide an experience without stress. We have used the service department exclusively for three years and have been very satisfied at every service visit. More

I own a 2000 Forester which my sons use and its been a reliable car. Jeff Barkan and James Boyton were very helpful, friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I test drove one and was quite happy with it. The deal was consummated quickly, and the car was spotlessly delivered in July 2013. I need a servicing and I'm hoping Competition will live up to its great reputation and take care of it. More

While I had been avoiding the usually annoying task of buying a car, this very professional dealership and Jeff made this a very positive experience. Jeff was most helpful, knowledgeable and patient, exceeding the expectations that had been set by the positive reviews. I was especially impressed that i was able to walk into the dealership on Wednesday and drive the exact car I wanted home on Thursday afternoon. And before I left the dealership, Jeff took over an hour patiently going over all the features of my new car. He even set up my Bluetooth! I am looking forward to,having my car serviced here! More
