Walser Subaru

Worst customer experience of my life, bar none. My 2017 Forrester has abandoned me on the roadside three times in the five years that I have owned it.

About a month ago the engine blew out on the highway. High oil consumption was to blame, a problem common to mid teen Forresters. I called Walser and talked to the general manager, Bob Splittstoesser. He explained that I would have to pay for the car to be towed to Walser ($50 through AAA), for an initial assessment ($139), and for an engine teardown ($1000). I asked if he could help with the teardown, given that the engine only had 64,000 miles on it. He said, "If I do that for you, I would have to do it for everyone." The words speak for themselves. The needed repair turned out to be a new short block and cylinder head refurbishing, at a total cost of $8100. Patrick Podewills, the tech in charge of my case, suggested I file a Limited Lifetime Warranty claim with CNA. Walser no longer has a business relationship with CNA; they handle the lifetime warranties in house now. Surprise, surprise, CNA rejected the claim. Then I contacted Subaru of America, which agreed to cover half the repair. Patrick wrote to me saying that I would pay $4500 and Subaru would cover $3500. When I pointed out that I would be paying far more than half under this scenario, he said that Subaru was covering half of the "warranty rate" ($7100) while I would have to cover the balance of the "customer rate" ($8100). I had to call back Subaru of America and persuade them to compel Walser Subaru to charge me the warranty rate so that I would indeed cover half of the repair. One week after picking up the supposedly repaired car with new short block and refurbished cylinders, it broke down again. It is now sitting in my local repair shop being assessed. I have reached out to Bob and Patrick and so far have received no response. I would strongly recommend that you avoid Walser Subaru at all costs. My relationship with them has cost me dearly in time and money. More

I purchased a vehicle here in January. It was missing the passenger side headrest. My dealer Yonathan and sales manager Saemus ensured me not to worry about it. Since it was a safety is It was missing the passenger side headrest. My dealer Yonathan and sales manager Saemus ensured me not to worry about it. Since it was a safety issue, they would have to take care of it, and would get back to me the next day. After they had a chance to see if it was misplaced when it was detailed. A month later, after multiple follow ups to both of them, plus reaching out to the general manager Bob 10 days ago. I have heard zero from them. Good sales experience initially, but terrible in every other way, shape and form. More
