Dan Perkins Subaru

Starting at CarMax, my wife and I needed a lower-mileage, newer car with plenty of backseat space for our six-month old's carseat. We saw a nice 2010 Hyundai Sonata with under 30k miles and at a very competi newer car with plenty of backseat space for our six-month old's carseat. We saw a nice 2010 Hyundai Sonata with under 30k miles and at a very competitive price. I went for a test drive. The salesman was nice. I was pretty much sold. The most important piece was that we needed this car ASAP--my previous ride had been totaled just days before and my wife and I could not live with just one car. Cut to: the next day. I had every intention of simply bringing my wife up to CarMax to see/drive the Sonata and be out. However, plans change. We decided to coast the Post Rd. in Milford, knowing the myriad dealerships calling this stretch of street their home. As my wife already drives a Subaru Impreza, we narrowed our search down to two venues: Key Hyundai and Dan Perkins Subaru. We never made it to Key. Walking in, we were immediately greeted by a smiling, eager, young salesman named Mike Gallio. He listened, assessed our needs, made an immediate recommendation (a Legacy), and showed us what they had on the lot. The older, higher-mileage car was right in our wheelhouse for cost, but it had a bunch of nicks on it, and it just didn't embrace us at first glance. That said, the dark red 2012 Legacy with only 26k miles parked right next to it looked intriguing, except that the price was just a smidge out of our range. Regardless, we didn't want to leave without taking it for a spin, and thankfully we did, because my wife and I fell in love immediately. Gorgeous car. Gorgeous ride. Luxurious to the point of which we're not accustomed. Cut to: deal time. Knowing that we couldn't afford the sticker price, I low-balled him, letting him know we'd sign the papers right then and there if he could get us about $3000 less than it was listed. They met us almost halfway. We put a deposit down that moment, and needless to say, we never made it back to CarMax or even to Key. We were sold. Cut to: later that evening. Sweating bullets. Thinking to myself, "WHAT DID I JUST DO? How could you just agree to something so quickly without doing all the legwork usually associated with making such a huge investment? Are you mental?" So, I furiously poured over my computer for hours. Carfax. Local dealers. Blue books sites. Found comparable prices/models at Premier Subaru (in Branford, and where we purchased our previous car). Emailed/texted Mike back and forth for the next day or so with questions/concerns. All were allayed. Even when I brought this fine piece of machinery to my mechanic to be checked, he told me that I'm "dumb" if I don't buy it. So, needless to say, this entire process was a delight. Mike did nothing but help, and even George, the finance guy, really walked us through our options with the maintenance and warranty add-ons, never being pushy in any way. I can't think of a single negative about this transaction other than the fact that Mike might've had to ask others (or find out later) about some of the questions I asked him--hardly a dealbreaker, and just needed to be thrown in to ensure you, the reader of this review, don't think this is some BS fluff piece. Also, the car did have a nick or two that Mike told us initially he'd be able to have the detailers/body guys get out, but he wasn't able. In recompense, he did offer to vouch me for two extra oil changes, and threw in all weather floor mats and a full tank of gas for good measure. All in all, I am exceptionally pleased with our purchase. I should note that the car has only been ours for a day, and I'll obviously rescind this glowing review should something crazy happen in the near future, but as of now, I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks to Mike and Dan Perkins Subaru for a great experience. Oh yeah...the lifetime powertrain warranty was really the icing on the cake for us. Rock. More

This was my first experience buying a new car. I appreciated that Bob is a low-key, no-pressure, friendly salesman who answered my questions and gave me a range of options. I had planned to buy a u appreciated that Bob is a low-key, no-pressure, friendly salesman who answered my questions and gave me a range of options. I had planned to buy a used car, but I asked to compare several used Imprezas with a basic 2013 model, and decided to go with the 2013. He was able to locate and get the color and model I wanted from out of state, in less than a week, and worked around my schedule. My husband bought a new car (Outback) from Bob recently, and had a similarly positive experience. More

I recently purchased a new 2013 Subaru Outback from Dan Perkins Subaru. The overall process work very well from my initial contact with my sales person, Bob Oshrin to my purchase a few weeks later.

There was no pressure or annoying phone calls until I was ready for a test drive and decide to buy. Bob provided all the necessary info and the finance dept (Nick) was clear and easy to work with when completing the sale. I recommend working with Dan Perkins both Bob and Nick. More

After my '06 Impreza was wrecked I was beyond stressed about finding a new car. After test driving a few outbacks, forresters and imprezas I still wasn't sure I had found the right car for me. I' stressed about finding a new car. After test driving a few outbacks, forresters and imprezas I still wasn't sure I had found the right car for me. I'm so glad Shelley and Sal suggested the 2013 Crosstrek. On the first test drive I knew I had to have it. I had some financial concerns but Shelley and Nick helped make leasing one easy and affordable for me! They continue to help with any questions I have and made me feel completely comfortable asking them about anything. I've had the Crosstrek for a few months now and I absolutely love it! More

I initially brought my car to Dan Perkins because they are close to where I work. From the first visit (in June of 2012 I think) they have been so friendly and helpful when I bring my car in. Gina has hel are close to where I work. From the first visit (in June of 2012 I think) they have been so friendly and helpful when I bring my car in. Gina has helped me 2 of the three times that I was there and she is so friendly and takes the time to explain things to me. My last visit was on February 1, for routine service. I brought the car in about 730am and was going to wait for it to be completed. As promised, the car was done within the hour. When I went to get into the car, I noticed there was grease on the drivers seat. I brought this to Gina's attention and she immediately called a service tech to come take care of the problem. That was all I was expecting, however, the manager authorized Gina to give me a coupon for a free bumper to bumper detail. I was beyond impressed and surprised. The service is absolutely amazing, and the waiting room is very comfortable. They even have coffee and I think that morning there were bagels. As long as I am a Subaru driver and working nearby I look forward to bringing my car to the team and Dan Perkins in Milford. More

I just bought my second Subaru Outback and really have no critcisms of this dealer. I am familiar with Dan Perkins, as I have been having my old Subaru serviced there for at least 6 years. Employees are al critcisms of this dealer. I am familiar with Dan Perkins, as I have been having my old Subaru serviced there for at least 6 years. Employees are always attentive and pleasant and I have never been pressured to have any work done on my car. I have also noticed that both the service department and the sales department employees have a low turnover rate, which means that they are happily employed and dedicated. Prices are somewhat higher than the local service stations, but Dan Perkins regularly offers coupons and special pricing. I have never had to bring my car back after service, because something wasn't fixed properly, so I have developed a trust in Dan Perkins that is worth the few more dollars charged. My experiences have all been positive, and I would recommend Dan Perkins Subaru for both service and purchasing a new car. More

We looked up the dealership on-line for used cars for my wife and daughter. They had a selection of cars at the prices we were looking for. On arrival we were greeted by our salesmen Mike Gallio. We told hi wife and daughter. They had a selection of cars at the prices we were looking for. On arrival we were greeted by our salesmen Mike Gallio. We told him that we were looking for 2 used cars and the price range we could afford. We were trading in our 2 cars. MIke showed us the vechicles that they had on the 2 lots and we test drove quite a few of them. Mike never was pushy or tried showing us more expensive cars. Mike was busy with us that day and he was a pleasure the whole time. He new the cars and helped us make the deal on 2 cars that my daughter and wife are excited about owning. Mike went out of his way on many levels that I have never had a salesmen do for us before. Mike was able to get us KBB for our trades and the dealership was very fair on their prices. We have bought many cars before and this experience with Mike was how a salesmen should treat you. My kids are both driving now and I will be going back to Mike when they are looking to buy a car in the future. If your in the market for a new or used car go see a great salesmen Mike Gallio and enjoy the car buying experience for a change. More

Bob made our experience a very good one. He was helpful. I had never considered buying a Subaru, and I thought I had decided to buy a different car. I stopped in just to test drive the new Impreza.

Traded in my 2004 WRX for a family vehicle . Liked the TriBeCa was show two. Kevin never rushed us and answered all questions. Got us the best deal and helped extremely. The purchasing of the vehicle took TriBeCa was show two. Kevin never rushed us and answered all questions. Got us the best deal and helped extremely. The purchasing of the vehicle took longer than expected but that was mostly due to the bank and not the dealership. Kevin always answered my calls and always called back when I left a voicemail. This is the first dealership I've ever been too that explained everything never rushed me into anything. I will never go anywhere else and will gladly point anyone who ask me over to dan perkins dealership. Thank you guys so much and I'm sorry if I spelled your last name wrong nick. You guys are awesome!!! More
