Stivers Decatur Subaru

Amazing experience with Stivers Subaru My husband and I found the Subaru Outback of our dreams at Stivers Subaru online and drove from Birmingham, AL to have a look at it. When we arrived, My husband and I found the Subaru Outback of our dreams at Stivers Subaru online and drove from Birmingham, AL to have a look at it. When we arrived, the carbide grey 2.5i Limited was waiting for us by the door, freshly cleaned up and ready for a test drive. Our dealer, James Smith was out to greet us in less than a minute and we began our test drive immediately. He was thorough on every detail that a 2015 Subaru Outback offers, making sure to give us the full experience of the vehicle in a keen and timely manner. Due to his rigorous detail, we were quickly sold on the specific vehicle we had just driven, and proceeded to begin paperwork to make the purchase. We have had our 2015 Subaru Outback for almost a week and could not be more thrilled with our purchase. Our service at Stivers Subaru was professional, friendly, and welcoming. We have had experiences at local Subaru dealerships in Birmingham that were completely opposite of our experience at Stivers, just a couple of guys looking for a paycheck. I would drive to Stivers Subaru from Birmingham, AL any day of the week to ensure that I receive the quality of service I expect when making such a large and careful purchase. I would ask for James Smith every time, as he made my husband I feel comfortable and secure. Thank you Stivers for your hard work, friendliness, and professionalism! More

Very personable staff, I felt comfortable and everyone was just very patient which is so important in the whole process. I couldn't be happier with my Crosstrek and it's downright sexy! Zero regrets and James has gone above and beyond to ensure I am a happy customer! I recommend Stivers to everyone looking to purchase a new/used subaru. Thanks, guys!! More

Okay Buying Experience I purchased my vehicle from this dealership because of price and proximity to my home. The buying experience was average and mediocre at best. I have I purchased my vehicle from this dealership because of price and proximity to my home. The buying experience was average and mediocre at best. I have no real complaints with the sales portion of my experience. It was "just okay" but definitely could have been better. Though, I did catch one of their sales managers laughing when he was alerted to my interest in the car I was purchasing. I guess he thought I couldn't afford it. Very unprofessional and just goes to show that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. There was also an instance where an older gentleman with white hair walked away from me in the middle of a conversation. I don't know if he is suffering from dementia but I was very taken aback by this gesture. That being said, the reason I'm writing this unfavorable review is because of my experience with their service department after the purchase. When I returned to have major work done to the car, I was treated as though I was an inconvenience. One of the service desk employees, a female, was extremely rude. I didn't catch her name but I imagine anyone who has encountered her will agree she is unpleasant to deal with. She interrupted me numerous times, tried to talk over me, and then did not listen when I finally got a chance to speak. I was forced to repeat myself several times. There are other similar reviews regarding the service department on other sites. I would recommend staying far away from this dealership and especially the service department. I ended up driving 40 miles to Troncalli Subaru in Cumming, GA. They were a dream to do business with. More

A good car buying experience We ordered a 2015 Outback and the whole process was very easy. Service and friendliness were excellent. Communication simplicity would be my only com We ordered a 2015 Outback and the whole process was very easy. Service and friendliness were excellent. Communication simplicity would be my only complaint. My fiance and I were both sending communications and quite often both of us would not be looped in on a response. A very minor inconvenience, especially since responses were typically very prompt. More

Superior Service After a serious accident totalled my 2014 Forrester Stivers found exactly what I needed, and I had a replacement 2015 Subaru within 6 days of the acci After a serious accident totalled my 2014 Forrester Stivers found exactly what I needed, and I had a replacement 2015 Subaru within 6 days of the accident. To say that Paul Milner and Stivers gave superior customer service would be a gross understatement. Although my purchase was initated on-line and would have generally given me pause at making such an important purchase using this method, I knew I wanted another Forrester immediately - my first one saved my life and I wanted nothing else. Paul got me my new Forrester in my price range and color, and made all the negotition and paperwork a breeze. Whether you visit or use their on-line services to find your car, you can depend on first-rate service and follow-up, My test car? My first Forrester. There was no other choice for me. More

Brian Traynor and Stivers Subaru made my special order I recently ordered my 2015 wrx limited from Stivers Subaru .

There was a seriously limited supply in the area at the time and on a busy day Brian had done his best to locate a vehicle in the the state . Bad news the closest one was in Florida . We did a special order and after it was built and shipped he let me know when it was stateside and in transit.. Everything happened the way it was supposed to and as my fifth new vehicle purchase I've got to say even though I had to wait 12 weeks for it to be built and shipped. They handled what they had control over very well. More

Completely pleased! My journey to a Subaru Forester lasted a few years, but in the end, I chose James Smith and Stivers Subaru over my hometown dealer. James was profess My journey to a Subaru Forester lasted a few years, but in the end, I chose James Smith and Stivers Subaru over my hometown dealer. James was professional and responsive. While the sales manager at my hometown dealer (Montgomery Subaru) attempted to convince me to get a CVT transmission Forester rather than the manual transmission I wanted, James gushed "A six-speed Forester is the way to go!" While my hometown dealer told me they couldn't find a manual-transmission Forester within hundreds of miles, Stivers had multiple on its lot for me to choose from. When it finally came down to time to negotiate a fair price, James did so professionally and well. I was completely happy with James Smith and Stivers Subaru and would encourage others shopping or a Subie to consider them. More

New Subaru Forester Purchase We traveled from North Florida to Atlanta, Georgia to deal with the folks at Stivers Subaru. It was the best car buying experience we ever had. Brian We traveled from North Florida to Atlanta, Georgia to deal with the folks at Stivers Subaru. It was the best car buying experience we ever had. Brian Traynor answered every question we had, and put together a deal that met all our needs in the most professional manner. He was honest, quick, and responsive. The price for the new vehicle was very competitive, and the negotiation process was as hassle free as it could be. We worked a trade, along with our new vehicle purchase, over the phone with Brian, and Stivers honored every part of the deal when we arrived in Atlanta. Brian and the dealership did everything they said they would - it was refreshing. Their new owner orientation is like no other. Instead of a ten minute review and turn over the keys, they had a dedicated representative, Robert, who spent nearly two hours with us explaining every feature of the new vehicle, long after closing time. It was extraordinary. I highly recommend Stivers to anyone interested in a new or used Subaru. More
