Best Car Buying Experience Ever: I have been a Subaru owner for 12 years, having purchased an Outback in 2000. I moved to Snohomish County in 2001 and was very pleased to find Roy Robinson Subaru. Serv owner for 12 years, having purchased an Outback in 2000. I moved to Snohomish County in 2001 and was very pleased to find Roy Robinson Subaru. Service consultants Ryan Jolly and Tom "Woody" Woodward made maintaining my Outback simple and enjoyable. Based on this very positive experience, I purchased a used Baja from Roy Robinson in 2005. Ryan and Woody have done a great job keeping my Baja in top shape. As the Baja now has significant miles on it, I decided it was time to add a new Subaru. Having recently read about the improvements in the 2014 Forester, I headed back to Roy Robinson to test drive the Forester Limited and Touring models in mid-April. I had the great pleasure of meeting Dave Koshak. Dave created the best buying experience I have ever had. Dave was super attentive. He listened well and was genuinely concerned that I find the right car for me. He was extremely knowledgeable about Subaru and was able to answer all of my questions about the Forester. He showed me multiple versions of both the Limited and the Touring and then we took a Touring for a test drive. The improvements of the 2014 over the 2013 were readily evident and Dave did a great job pointing out the features. He did a superb job comparing the Touring model to the Limited model, helping me to understand exactly what I’d be getting in the Touring if I chose it over the Limited. He also informed me of available discounts resulting in converging quickly on an agreeable price. Dave stayed until after 9PM that night to make sure I was able to drive my new Touring home. I had driven the Baja to the dealership that day and, putting the icing on the cake, Dave helped me make arrangements for its next service appointment so I could leave it at the dealership that night. I’ve been driving the Forester for just over 2 months and could not be happier with it. I just had it in for its first oil change. Ryan did a superb job getting it quickly serviced and washed. While that was happening, I stopped by to see if Dave was working. I found him at his desk and he immediately greeted me and made me feel welcome once again. While I was not intending to do anything other than say hello, Dave wanted to make sure everything was going well. He asked if I had any questions and I shared that I had one question about the radio. He thought he had an answer. Rather than explaining it, he went the extra mile and took me out to a Forester on the lot to show me exactly how to make the needed adjustment. I tried the adjustment before leaving the lot in my Forester and it worked perfectly. Once again, the professional staff of Roy Robinson Subaru have exceeded my expectations. Ryan and Woody have both been there to help with all my service needs since I moved here in 2001. Dave’s incredible assistance with my recent Forester buying experience is just one more reason I’ll continue to “keep coming back” to this dealership and recommend it to my friends. More

As our adventure towards considering a trade up to a newer Subaru Outback began last week, it surely wasnt without both thorough research and a long assortment of considerations before even making the t newer Subaru Outback began last week, it surely wasnt without both thorough research and a long assortment of considerations before even making the trip to the only Subaru dealership we have ever dealt with numerous times in over 25 yrs ... that being Roy Robinson in Marysville. In all our experiences over two decades they, with all their staff, continue to be number one for us no matter whether we are seeking another vehicle, service, parts or body work necessitated by a careless driver. In this instance we give special consideration and considerable kudos to Butch, Brady, Wayne, Jeramy, Christina, along with all the others (wish we knew all your names) we otherwise came to meet or merely taking the time to convey a friendly howdy-do. Though we really dont believe anyone would go wrong with any of their sales staff... Then comes about a great big much appreciated THANK "YOU" to Mike Mauer. Without his knowledge, patience, understanding, coupled with the exceptional ability to present the highest of quality of expertise in presenting every aspect of information required to make our overall experience that day the best ever, we do not believe we would have been otherwise capable to make the informed decision that provided us with driving home our new Outback. He is most definitely a significant attribute in RR's staff, at least in our experience. As with most car shoppers its typically a stressful ordeal for the most part, but not so with Mike. He immediately took the air out of any anticipated pressure we arrived with. Presenting not an inkling of pressure, along with an obvious honest desire to appease every question or concern with either an immediate forthright response (or being forthcoming as not knowing the answer whereby seeking out the answer) made the entire stay both pleasant and a considerable relief overall. Couldnt have asked for nor received any better. As most likely suspected.. our future vehicle requirements will surely again bring us back to RR and Mike. THANK YOU EVERYONE>>>> More

After my previous experience with Carter Subaru in Shoreline, WA (see my Carter Subaru review on subaruoutback forum under Dealership Review), I was not looking forward to trying to buy another new ca Shoreline, WA (see my Carter Subaru review on subaruoutback forum under Dealership Review), I was not looking forward to trying to buy another new car. I started by checking reviews and asking for recommendations. A Tech at the local Smart Service business recommended Mike Kempter at Roy Robinson Subaru in Marysville. Even in my initial correspondence with Mike, I was impressed by his responsiveness and professionalism. We met with Mike and were impressed with his product knowledge and willingness to discuss the pros and cons of every option. He was even willing to point out why you might not want a certain option, such as using your phone instead of the navigation system. When have you ever experienced a salesperson that was more focused on you getting the most for your money and not trying to get most of your money? When it came to the actual purchase, I asked about their delivery and detailing process. He let me know that Roy Robinson uses mitts and hand washing. When you see the pictures of the damage from brushes posted in the other review, you will see what a huge difference this makes. When I told him about that experience, he expressed understanding of how difficult it must have been and offered to have me oversee the detailing process to remove any stress or fears of any damage happening in this buying experience. They did not have the car I wanted on the lot, so I ended up ordering it. It came early and Mike invited me down. When I got there, he had notes on the car about not removing the protective film or detailing the car without the customer present. This was a great example of living up to what they say they will do and going the extra mile to make the customer experience as positive as possible. After my previous experience, I decided to leave nothing to chance and to oversee the detailing process. I thought that it would be uncomfortable to be there while the guys detailed the car, but every single person was friendly and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. As each person came by, Mike introduced them to me. I could not get over was how everyone I met seemed real and friendly. This was a huge contrast from my other recent experience. There were also no surprises or changes to the price and the final paperwork went smoothly. When Mike did the final walk through of the car with me - talk about impressive! I could not believe how much he knew about vehicle. He also had a great ability to provide an understanding of tons of features on the vehicle. He was really good about pointing out the things you would not even think about, such as how to hook the cargo floor lid, hide/store the cargo area cover and unlatch the center seat belt. He even turned down certain sounds in the navigation system that are way too loud by default. In my past car buying experiences, when I’ve driven off the lot, the salesperson is no longer very attentive unless you come in to buy another car. Not so with Mike. He did a great job following up. I also sent him questions after the purchase and he has gone out of his way to find answers or help me out. You will see from my other post that I am very honest about both positive and negative experiences. I posted pictures so you can compare with my other review (see my Roy Robinson review on subaruoutback forum under Dealership Review) and see the dramatic difference between the quality of the cars from the two dealerships. I hope both of my posts save you from going through what I experienced at Carter Subaru and take you straight to a positive experience with Mike Kempter at Roy Robinson Subaru. Be sure to let Mike know you saw this post about their quality and service so they know it is making a difference and it matters. I am going to ask for this number to share with Carter so they realize that quality, service and how you treat your customers does matter. Have a great buying experience and lots of fun with your new Subaru! More
