The whole process was easy and pressure-free. Everyone made me feel like a valued customer and not just someone they needed to sell a car to.

The place to buy a new Subaru I have been a loyal customer of Cityside Subaru for over 20 years for a reason. They treat customers with respect. My most recent purchase of a 2019 I have been a loyal customer of Cityside Subaru for over 20 years for a reason. They treat customers with respect. My most recent purchase of a 2019 Forester is my most recent example. In August I learned about the new features of the 2019 model and decided to wait until it arrived. I shared the priority features I was interested in and they kept in touch with me regarding inventory. I drove home yesterday with my new Forester. I couldn't be happier with the car and the buying experience. More

Wouldn't give prices or put things in writing Weirdest experience of any dealership, they refused to quote any price at all or attach it to a specific car. Everything was "we will take a reasonab Weirdest experience of any dealership, they refused to quote any price at all or attach it to a specific car. Everything was "we will take a reasonable offer to our manager to discuss". Now to be fair I offered around 1k below what other dealers had initially quoted for the outback to hopefully get a conversation started, and got several requests back for my credit card information to take a $2000 deposit immediately if the quote was approved. Keep in mind this is still a deal with no window sticker or VIN number attached. When I said I would not give a credit card number to charge $2000 before a written agreement regarding a specific vehicle, I simply got 1 line back saying my offer was rejected. Thinking this was just a quirk of Alex, I messaged the dealership through their website asking if they could match or beat the best offer I currently had, and got back more junk about credit card deposits or coming in to discuss without them being willing to confirm my price and options. Not wanting to waste any more time in this process, I just bought from the dealer with the quote I asked them to match. More

2018 Premium Subaru Crosstrek and EyeSight I cannot say enough good things about Alex or Citywide Subaru. The team was incredible transparent, honest, and helpful. Alex's knowledge regarding Su I cannot say enough good things about Alex or Citywide Subaru. The team was incredible transparent, honest, and helpful. Alex's knowledge regarding Subaru as a company, as well as the specific details for the Crosstrek was tremendous. It was a pleasure to work with Alex and know that we were on the same team. Some dealers aim to nickel and dime the buyer for unnecessary additives - that was not the case with Cityside Subaru. There was no pressure to buy unnecessary accessories, or any other service I did not want. Great team and great experience. I will be sure to go back to Cityside and Alex for my next purchase as well as recommend them to my friends. Thank you!!! More

Efficient and fair I had done a lot of research about what the new car I wanted was worth and what my trade-in (a 2016 Suburu) was worth and had a bad experience with an I had done a lot of research about what the new car I wanted was worth and what my trade-in (a 2016 Suburu) was worth and had a bad experience with another dealership who tried a deceptive deal in an ad I got. So I went to Cityside, after finding it had fairly good ratings and knowing it was nearby to where I live. Alex greeted me when I arrived and we had a cordial discussion and an efficient exchange on what a fair deal would be. With only a modicum of further discussion we settled on exactly what I felt was fair and I got the car I wanted. After the sale Alex contacted me to make sure all was well and to answer any other questions I had. I asked about one thing that required follow-up and he did in fact follow up. Also, I love my new car. I got the Outback limited with all the safety features and the engineering is wonderful! Some minor features that I found deficient in the 2016 model were now taken care of and I have absolutely no complaints about the 2018 model. More

Great experience in buying a new car I would highly recommend Alex Stepanov as a knowledgeable dealer who demonstrates his professionalism and excellent customer service skill. I was able I would highly recommend Alex Stepanov as a knowledgeable dealer who demonstrates his professionalism and excellent customer service skill. I was able to schedule an appointment at the most convenient time for me. Alex explained all options for the model that I was looking for and helped me to make me a right decision in choosing of a model. He helped me to set up EyeSight and answered every question I had. In a few days after I bought a car, he made a follow-up call to find if I have any questions or concerns. Thank you, Alex! More

Easiest car purchase and experience I've had I initially went to Cityside Subaru solely on how poor the ratings were for Metrowest Subaru out in Natick, MA. I had an appointment with them to dri I initially went to Cityside Subaru solely on how poor the ratings were for Metrowest Subaru out in Natick, MA. I had an appointment with them to drive a car that turns out they didn't even have (a friend of mine who worked in the area stopped in to see the car I was going to buy which I was told was smack in the middle of the showroom...wasn't there) so I used that appointment time to go test drive a car at Cityside. I'm very glad I did, regardless of Metrowest's reputation it would be hard to beat the customer experience I had at Cityside. My search for a car was bittersweet because I had a car that I absolutely loved and would've kept forever, however was totaled by a guy who ran a stop sign. That changed when I test drove their 2018 WRX. Had never owned a Japanese-built car until now, previously all Audi and BMW, but man are they giving those German manufacturers a serious run for their money. On Cityside and Tom; I had a budget and Tom made sure I got the car I wanted in the budget range I needed, and he did it fast. I wish I could buy another car from him just to watch him work his magic to get the deal done. 10/10 would recommend not only Cityside Subaru, but Tom DAlessandro to anyone looking to buy a Subaru, or anything off Cityside's lot for matter.
