Great gas effieciency and able to handle snowy conditions. We wanted to shop around for the lowest price and I have to say that from the beginning Jeff Barkan from Competitiion Subaru quoted us a very competitive price. We visited another Subaru dealer and the quote was thousands of dollars higher. Needless to say we went back to Jeff Barkan at Competition Subaru and purcased the 2014 Outback. Jeff was a pleasure to work with, extremely pleasant and knowledgable about the specifications and benefits. I have had the Outback for a couple of days now and am thoroughly enjoying driving it. We will definately recommend the Subaru Outback and Jeff Barkan at Competition Subaru. Mirka and Pat Castaldo More

My experience has been great since I walked into the dealership looking to buy a car. Jeff gave me a deal I could accept.

When One of my tires got destroyed during hurricane Sandy they were great in helping me get my car back on the road. I usually wouldn't get my car serviced by the dealer because I feel they rip you off. At competition, however, I have gone back several times and have been extremely satisfied each time. More

I formerly had an Infiniti from Competition, and when I decided I wanted to change to a Subaru I went right back to Competition. My eight plus years with Competition Infiniti was the best relationship I e decided I wanted to change to a Subaru I went right back to Competition. My eight plus years with Competition Infiniti was the best relationship I ever had with a car dealership so I never thought of going anywhere else. From the second I walked in the door I was treated with utmost respect. I'm a pretty demanding customer, only light leather, no moon roof, limited accessories. Ever effort was made by my salesperson Jeff and the Manager Lisa. It didn't take long before I had the exact car I wanted. I couldn't be happier with the experience anywhere else. I sincerely recommend shopping at Competition More

We bought a Forester and had to wait several weeks for it since they are in high demand. While it was frustrating to have to wait, Jeff made the experience as positive as possible.

I wish to commend Jeff Barkan for once again exceeding my expectations. Jeff is more than just the consummate salesperson. Sure, he takes all of the hassle out of the buying process. No longer do I have to expectations. Jeff is more than just the consummate salesperson. Sure, he takes all of the hassle out of the buying process. No longer do I have to worry whether I'm getting exactly what I want or that I'm receiving the best pricing. Those are all givens. But Jeff goes beyond all of that. He always goes the extra mile to ensure that his customers are deeply satisfied. He's true to his word and genuine, and he always delivers. Today, I picked up my new 2014 Legacy Limited, the fourth Subaru that I've purchased from Jeff over the past three years. Jeff managed to quickly track down the particular vehicle that I wanted despite very limited availability. I was debating whether to go with a different color or perhaps even to change the model due to my tight time requirement. Jeff wouldn't have it; he wouldn't let me settle. Driving home this afternoon in my shiny Venetian Red Pearl Legacy with Taupe leather interior, I'm very glad that I didn't. I wouldn't choose to drive another vehicle, and I wouldn't purchase another Subaru from anyone other than Jeff. This buying experience was made very easy by Jeff and James Boyton (the business manager), and I know from past experience that Mike Coleman will take excellent care of my vehicle when it needs service.

I usually don’t write reviews for products or services but this time I felt very inclined to share my positive experiences working with Jeff Barkan at Competition Subaru in Smithtown. Right from the begi but this time I felt very inclined to share my positive experiences working with Jeff Barkan at Competition Subaru in Smithtown. Right from the beginning when I walked into competition he treated me with courtesy and went out his way to satisfy me as a customer. You should know that I’m an analytical person that researches every purchase prior to my decision to buy.

You won’t be dissatisfied working with Jeff and he’ll provide you with excellent service and an honest fair price! More

I dealt with both Jeff and Dave over the course of a 2 week period in trying to locate a 2014 Forester with the touring trim. It was a refreshing change dealing with these gentlemen as opposed to past exp week period in trying to locate a 2014 Forester with the touring trim. It was a refreshing change dealing with these gentlemen as opposed to past experiences with arrogant/agressive sales personnel and dealerships that try to add unwanted services and fees at signing. The availability of the vehicle proved to be a problem as the Forester was both a Consumer Reports top pick and also received the IIHS top rating in all it's crash tests: the current "in" vehicle that everyone wants. The only one Jeff could find had a $2400 option that I didn't want. After 2 weeks of nothing being available that met my specifications, I returned to this dealer hoping something had come in. Because of time limitations I needed a car and had to make a decision.Jeff was out sick so I was introduced to Dave to try and get something done. They had just got in a turbo touring Forester which I took for a test drive. Dave made a great offer - $200 below dealer invoice that included a Costco membership rebate. The philosophy of this dealer from the get-go as initially explained to me by Jeff is: move vehicles through agressive pricing with no gimmicks or add-ons and Dave certainly lived up to that. There was never any pressure to buy extended warranties or finance with the dealer nor bogus dealer prep charges. In the end I couldn't make the deal. As I explained to both: this is the last vehicle I (hopefully) will ever buy and therefore wanted the vehicle that best met my specifications. I couldn't justify spending 32k plus for an suv that lacked the interior amenities I wanted - was not as big in the interior that I thought - and lastly was a color I really disliked (Black in and out). Both these gentlemen were professional and knowledgeable in their demeanor.I felt very comfortable in working with them to get the car I wanted and I felt they wished the same. I truly feel they dealt with me with honesty and integrity. If you are looking for a no hassle buying experience for and excellent vehicle (read the reviews-do the rearch in both price & quality) I honestly believe you won't be disappointed in dealing with Jeff or Dave.

We worked with Jeff when we went to buy a new Subaru. He was very personable and knowledge, without being overly pushy. He made us feel very comfortable as we discussed options and test-drove a few cars. was very personable and knowledge, without being overly pushy. He made us feel very comfortable as we discussed options and test-drove a few cars. He also helped us to buy and drive out with our car in less than 2 days after first coming into the dealership, working after hours to ensure we were able to do this since we needed the car immediately. Very nice dealership experience. More
