Great sales experience and ongoing good service Haley Kuppler is a wonderful salesperson - great ongoing communication as I was coming out of my 2017 Outback lease and ordered a 2020 Outback,. Very Haley Kuppler is a wonderful salesperson - great ongoing communication as I was coming out of my 2017 Outback lease and ordered a 2020 Outback,. Very professional, informative and helpful. I love the car! It came in about a month earlier than promised. I also have had great experiences with the service department here over the last few years with my 2017 Outback and expect the same for the next 3 years with the 2020. I highly recommend Haley and the sales manager Derrick Ferrel for an easy no pressure car purchasing experience. More
Awful communication and service I had heard many great things about Fox Subaru so I was initially excited to purchase a car through them. My experience has been less than stellar. On I had heard many great things about Fox Subaru so I was initially excited to purchase a car through them. My experience has been less than stellar. Once the final quote was settled, everything went downhill. 1) Paid a deposit on a Tuesday. Car was scheduled to be delivered to dealership on Friday. I had to ask the salesman what I should do to speed up the process once the car arrived. I supplied all the information I was told to provide. Friday comes, no call. Reach out once again and told I won't be able to pick up the car (initially planned to have out-of-state co-signer) until possibly Monday but they would send the paperwork Saturday. Salesman said I would be contacted Saturday. Next day, no call. Send email stating my frustrations and expecting a call Monday morning. Monday: No call until 3:30 PM when I'm already driving to dealership to get my deposit back. They say I can finally meet with the business manager. Wait for over 2 hours for a 5 minute conversation to then wait another 2 hours for paperwork. But we finally get the car that night. 2) Chose to get a hitch installed. Salesman told me to call the shop to get part ordered and then dealership would handle everything else. I did this, and the shop had no clue what I was talking about. Called salesman who said he would take care of it. Parts came in, still in the time period where I did not have the vehicle, shop still had no clue what I was saying. 3) Paid for extra service requiring another appointment. Day I picked up vehicle, salesman said he would call me the next day (Tuesday) to schedule this service and hitch installation for Friday. Did not get a call. I called and sent an email Wednesday and did not get a reply until Thursday. Said there was an appointment Friday morning, I asked about a loaner, at first seemed hesitant about this but would follow up with me to confirm. I get no confirmation so I don't think I have the appointment set. Sent text Thursday night, no reply. Friday morning after I have now driven to work, I get a reply that he has a loaner vehicle for the appointment I didn't know was confirmed. 4) Only received 1 key, was told 2nd key would be ordered. Can you guess if I've heard back about this key yet? I was mildly frustrated before, but this whole experience has completely made me lose any trust in Fox Subaru. All in all, not impressed.

Excellent service Recently bought a used vehicle from Fox Subaru and we were so well taken care of.

I when there when my three kids and not only but we made sure my three kids were taken care of. I am sure that they went through to give us the best price possible and explained everything in great detail. They made shopping for a vehicle for the whole family. I highly recommend Fox Subaru in Grand Rapids. More
I don’t want a new car I used the online message option to ask about a part for my car this morning and was very specific even providing the item number. The gentleman in pa I used the online message option to ask about a part for my car this morning and was very specific even providing the item number. The gentleman in parts got back to me as soon as they opened, and sent me an email with the price and the time it would take to order it in, I really appreciate that. However, I now have been contacted twice, first by phone, second email, about coming to look at some specific vehicle. I have no idea what they are talking about, but if it’s what I’m assuming and it’s a “don’t fix it buy new!” Thing, I have never met anyone who would give up a car for a bad o2 sensor. In the future stick to what the customer asked for please, this has left a bad taste in my mouth. More
WORST AFTER SALES SERVICE I like my Subaru, but i did not buy it from this dealership due to the same kind of poor customer service. I live in grand rapids but went all the way I like my Subaru, but i did not buy it from this dealership due to the same kind of poor customer service. I live in grand rapids but went all the way to kalamazoo at Maple hill auto just because of this reason. I thought their after sales service would be better, but it is even worse. If you go in just for an oil change, go for it but if you need major repairs, or warranty replacement don't bother. Service writers are rude, impolite and treat you like they are doing you a favor. I would give this place a negative star if there was an option. More

Terrible customer service I recently went in to purchase a 2016 Subaru Impreza sport on June 26. I waited for a sales rep to help me out but it seemed like nobody wanted to wor I recently went in to purchase a 2016 Subaru Impreza sport on June 26. I waited for a sales rep to help me out but it seemed like nobody wanted to work for a sale. So I walked inside and talked to the receptionist about talking to someone so I could take it for a test ride. Jen came out to give me the whole speal about the car. Took it for a ride and instantly knew it was the car for me, but ended up taking a different one for a test drive. After the test drive i told her I was interested and we needed to talk numbers. She then asked me how I wanted to pay, and with my response her whole attitude changed. I told her I wanted to pay cash for the car She then told me that they have a 0% financing up to 36 months blah blah. NO I don't want a car payment Anyways, after tax and everything it came out to 1500$ more than what I wanted to pay. Now I have bought a couple vehicle brand new in my lifetime and never have I once payed sticker price. So I know there is a little room to work with. I told her I have 25k cash right now for the vehicle. Sticker price was $24,999. She wasn't budging and kept insisting for some reason that I finance. Are you joking?? I then told her I would have to think about it as it was higher than what I originally intended on spending, hoping that she would change something and help me out. She didn't! Later that night I left her a message telling her I really loved the car but just couldn't spend the extra $$ and maybe she had a 2015 with the same features just a little less expensive for me.. I have still gotten no response from her. So not only was I upset that I waited over half hour in the lot before I went inside to get help but I WAS another sale for Fox Subaru Grand Rapids and the terrible customer service turned me to go somewhere else. 😕 More
Dishonorable If only there were a 0 star option. Subarus are a great car but this dealership does not do them justice. After an agreed upon out the door price a fa If only there were a 0 star option. Subarus are a great car but this dealership does not do them justice. After an agreed upon out the door price a factory recall was made on the car's airbag by Subaru. The used car manager claimed he now couldn't sell it for less than $1100 over the agreed upon price. They did not honor our original deal, even though I have the paperwork stating the agreement and the price. I have never tried so hard to get a dealership to SELL ME a car! I spent over two weeks calling this place for updates on the vehicle and they never returned calls. The receptionist is only willing to transfer the calls to voicemails of the sales agents. The used car manager, Gareth, broke the original agreement price he made with us because of a factory recall, that I'm sure Subaru covered the cost of. I do not have any good things to say about my experience with this place or the staff. Buyers should seriously beware and take extreme caution. Plenty of other (honorable) Subaru dealerships out there. Go to them first! More
Committed Customer No Longer After purchasing and having my Impreza serviced at Fox Subaru for many years, the past few months have been frankly troubling. The service department After purchasing and having my Impreza serviced at Fox Subaru for many years, the past few months have been frankly troubling. The service department has gone from taking great care with questions, and explanations for servicing my vehicle, to a severely diminished customer service focus. While the new building and facilities certainly are nice, there is no privacy. Staff openly initiates service and monetary discussions in the middle of the lobby where multiple customers are waiting. Even after giving them the benefit of the doubt on two occasions, discussing concerns with the service adviser and general manager, little to no effort to address the concerns or even communicate an understanding of the concerns has occurred. Additionally, there seems to be a lack in attention to detail, which truly drives success for a genuinely customer service oriented organization. The multi point service inspection paperwork is often incomplete. You can count on the electronic portion to be filled in. Suggested maintenance is written down, and the service adviser is unprepared to discuss the cost for such maintenance. When we asked what the cost would be, an estimate was given on the fly, and we were told to call back to get a an accurate estimate. Prices have increased considerably since they have moved into the new building. Overall, we are sad to say this, but we will not be returning to Fox Subaru. Up to Muskegon we go. More
