Hi Bclark52, Thanks for your review! It is hard to monitor the status of most cars because they take so long to make and often comes from Japan. We'll make sure to keep our customers better updated on the status of their orders. Thanks for your feedback. Jeremy

this was the WORST experience I have ever had with a dealership. I saw a pre-owned Volvo XC70 for sale online and called the dealership to inquire about it. The woman I spoke to assured me that the ca More

Hi genuinejen, I am sorry to hear about your bad experience with us. It is never our intention to mislead customers, but it looks like what Jessica thought was a car in relatively good condition (considering the age and mileage) did not meet your standards. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and we will make sure to set the correct expectations of every car listed online. We always try to update the perspective and quality of our photos to give the best view of the actual vehicle. Typically the best way to fix something like this is to offer a better price. Our cars are priced according to the market - which means that we look at condition and consumer demand for a product before we price it. Because we price to market and not above "cost" we are able to beat most of our competitors prices, but this also means that deeply discounted cars are discounted for a reason - we try to be very transparent about this and disclose any issues with a car. Thanks again for your review and we all apologize for your experience. Jeremy

We try to stay away from all "high-pressure" tactics because we feel that the best way to get someone to do something is to get them to want to do it! If a customer wants to buy a car, they will - coercing and forcefulness will not make anyone happy. Thanks for telling us about your experience. Enjoy your Subaru!

Barbara was great! It was a pleasure working with her. She was very friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. I would recommend her to others. We love our new car. More

Garavel Subaru responded

Hi awasserm, We apologize for the mistake in product knowledge. Because of the conflicting stories about what happened to you, it is hard to say how many other mistakes were made. It is our policy to only give a "promised" date to a customer when we know the full details of the vehicle. Like all Subaru dealers, we can use our relationships with other dealers to have access to more inventory. At that point the main differentiation between stores would be price and value. We try to always be competitive on pricing. And we try to add as much value as possible, with our car buying experience and the lifetime warranty. We include a powertrain warranty that has an unlimited term for as long as you own the car. As stated on our website in the below link: http://www.garavelsubaru.com/lifetime-warranty.htm You will see that if you do not live within 45 miles of our dealership you may get your car serviced at any ASE certified repair shop and save the records for when you have a lifetime warranty claim. This webpage has not been edited lately. Though we appreciate it when customers come back for service, we believe that we need to earn their business. In the end, you still chose to do business with us, so we had some combination of the right product or price for you. Please let us know if you would like to discuss this further. Garavel Subaru
