Why are you submitting duplicate reviews when you have not even been here?

New name, same dealership.

still a duplicate review. Our location or staff has not changed.

magicman909 responded

Then why do you claim I was never there? More lies to write about. 1st review was about purchase experience. 2nd was about service experience, and factual representation of dealer actions. Feel free to refute anything I said. I am merely using this as a forum to advise other prospective customers, as it is intended.

Garavel Subaru responded

You have not been here for service since your first review. Your first and second reviews are about the same experience. Your attempt to extort goods and service will not be tolerated no matter what you write.

magicman909 responded

Get your facts straight. 1st review was prior to service. I have no interest in extorting anything, a serious allegation, which is now a matter of public record. I merely provide feedback to others, as it is my responsibility to advise them of my experiences. Should it impact their opinion, or affect their purchasing decision, so be it.

Garavel Subaru responded

When your request for non authorized subaru service was denied you asked for money and a free radio. This is the public record you should display.

Garavel Subaru responded

Hi magicman909, In my first post I meant to inform you that: although the dealership name has changed, our account with DealerRater has not changed. Your former review is still here, so this review will likely be treated as a duplicate (DealerRater doesn't not allow duplicates because of their rules against skewing ratings). I am sorry that you did not have a good experience and can appreciate your ability to share your opinion with others. Garavel Subaru

So why say I was never there?

My service was was authorized by my warranty with S.O.A. Stamford Subaru honored that warranty & fixed the problem.
