Buyer Beware. False Advertising. Buyer beware. Brandon Tomes Subaru uses false advertising to get you in the door before jacking up the price of the vehicle. I False Advertising. Buyer beware. Brandon Tomes Subaru uses false advertising to get you in the door before jacking up the price of the vehicle. I inquired about a Subaru WRX listed at $31,680 and the salesperson, Aaron Loya, led me to believe that was the final price with the exception of taxes. When I attempted to purchase the vehicle, they presented me with an invoice that increased the price of the vehicle by $3,285 for a fee they call “Value Adds” (see photo). Aaron lied, stating that “Value Adds” included appearance protection, dent protection, and a 7-year 100k mile warranty. The 7-year 100k mile warranty is never an add-on; the warranty comes standard with all Subaru certified pre-owned vehicles. No one should be tricked into paying extra for that. Additionally, the appearance and dent protection paperwork showed an actual retail value of $500, which Brandon Tomes Subaru marked up to an absurdly high, $3,285. After the dealer refused to remove the “Value Adds” and charge the original price they advertised, I cancelled the transaction. Frustrated with the dealership wasting my time, I wrote a review detailing my negative experience to warn other potential customers about Brandon Tomes Subaru’s shady marketing tactics. Shortly thereafter, I received a call from the general sales manager, Zack Alia, who apologized and said they would remove the “Value Adds” IF I removed my review. I wanted the vehicle, so I agreed and purchased it. This was a huge mistake. I regret purchasing a vehicle from Brandon Tomes Subaru because I’ve had a terrible experience ever since. That apology meant nothing. I purchased the vehicle from Texas on July 14th and shipped it to New York. The vehicle arrived with a huge crack in the windshield, which the dealership did not repair. Instead, they told me that they would reimburse me if I paid out of pocket to have it repaired. I contacted several local Subarus on my own to find the right windshield, ordered it, scheduled a meeting with Safelite, took off from work to have Safelite install it, then submitted the receipt to the dealership for reimbursement. It’s been 3 weeks and the dealer has not reimbursed me. Worst of all, after two months, I still cannot register the vehicle in New York because Brandon Tomes Subaru is refusing to send me a certified copy of the title. In addition, the dealer fraudulently collected $2,859 in taxes that need to be but have not been paid to the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). To date, I’ve sent dozens of emails, called the dealer 23 times, copied different members of their staff (including the owner, Brandon Tomes), and NO ONE is helping or providing any information. The response I have received numerous times is that “we’ve escalated this to the accounting department”. What does accounting have to do with registering my car? Nothing! This is the absolute worst customer experience I have ever had purchasing anything in my life. Buyer beware. You have been warned. I will be filing a lawsuit against the dealer in the next week if this is not resolved, and I will update this review to let you know what happens. More

NIGHTMARE OUTBACK PURCHASE‼️ I purchased a 2019 Subaru Outback In August 2019. From the day I drove it off the lot, I have had constant but intermittent problems with the opening and closing of the tailga Outback In August 2019. From the day I drove it off the lot, I have had constant but intermittent problems with the opening and closing of the tailgate along with other electrical issues. It’s been in the service departments of several DFW Subaru dealerships for a total of 2-3 months during the last 3 years. A tailgate part was replaced in 2020 so there was an issue they discovered. However, the repair only worked for a few months before the issue reoccurred. I have repeatedly returned to the service department to try to resolve the problem for good but all they do is say they couldn’t recreate or find a problem and then perform a hard reset on the battery. Last week I took my vehicle back to the service department to once again hopefully have them find the problem. Two days later they called and said they couldn’t find anything wrong with the car and it was ready to be picked up. I called Subaru Corporate and set up a case number and was told I would receive a call back within 48 hours. Five days later I finally received a call back from Corporate basically telling me they trusted their service department and they weren’t going to spend anymore time looking at my vehicle. They instructed me to immediately return the loaner car or they were going to report it as stolen.A few days after setting up the case number with Corporate, I had to leave town for a family emergency. I notified the service department and informed them of this and Chance said as long as I wasn’t leaving the state, that it was fine. Now Bryan from Corporate told me the car had to be returned immediately or it will be REPORTED STOLEN and I will be ARRESTED. This is the treatment Subaru gives it’s customer so carefully consider if you want to do business with a corporation that doesn’t stand behind its vehicles. More

It has been about a year since we purchased a used jeep rubicon from this dealership and I still have a sour taste in my mouth. I have been looking around at vehicles again and I keep thinking about the ho rubicon from this dealership and I still have a sour taste in my mouth. I have been looking around at vehicles again and I keep thinking about the horrible experience here. We were lied to from the moment we arrived and some of the lies were pointless. I noticed it had new tires on it, I would think a plus, but the sales guy said nope these are the tires that were on it. I saw the picture online when they got it, different tires. Once again, why lie? He came back with the first sales sheet and it was a crazy high payment. I asked for the interest rate and then punched the numbers in a calculator and asked why they did not match. He got nervous and started talking about gap insurance. I told him we only want to buy the jeep. He left for awhile and came back again with another payment that did not match. He once again had no explanation as to how he arrived at that amount. In comes a different sales guy explaining how the other guy had to go home. Now we are told about the 1k add on for an inspection. I explained how the electric lock did not work on one of the doors and that a 1k inspection should have flagged that. He left and said he would see why the numbers look the way they do. We were the last people there and they actually turned the lights off on us at one point. The Next guy (#3) comes in laughing saying he has no idea where we are on the deal but was sent in to talk to us?? He wrote another payment down and I asked him again why they can't sell us the Jeep for the price they quoted and why the numbers never match. He said what does that number say on your phone calculator and I showed him. He said fine and walked off. He asked if he could keep a plate from our lease return as a trophy. There was so much sleaze in that dealership it makes me sick thinking about it. I called back and told the sales manager that I did not appreciate being sold a payment and not a car. He wanted me to go back up there so he could explain the transaction. I told him that I did not need him to try and justify why the sales price and interest rate never calculated correctly. I know how to go online and punch numbers in a finance calculator and see that they were manipulating numbers to try and backdoor more money. Complete joke of an operation. Last sales guy was telling us how excited he was to get to the casino in Oklahoma as soon as we left. We never did get the numbers to match. They got their 1k, maybe more. More

This was my first new Subaru purchase. I must emphasize that my car buying experience was non traditional, but these are unconventional times with new vehicle shortages. I had my eye on a 2022 Subaru Impre that my car buying experience was non traditional, but these are unconventional times with new vehicle shortages. I had my eye on a 2022 Subaru Impreza Hatchback Premium, so I decided to stop by Brandon Tomes Subaru to see if I could test drive one. I first spoke to Connor, the sales representative, and Nico the sales floor manager, who later introduced me to the Finance Manager Bernard. Although they didn't have the car I was looking for on the lot, they all went out of their way to show me their own cars, which were a little older, but tried to help me get the feel of the car. They advised me that the only Impreza Hatchback Premium they had coming in was in mid-February, and although it was the one color I told them I did not want, we agreed to the car and the price. But because the car wasn’t coming in until mid-February, they couldn’t run my financing until February, nor lock me into the promotional rate for January. I will say I was extremely frustrated with the whole car buying experience (but no reflection to the guys who were helping me, as it was not their fault). After some back and forth, disagreeing to go into the sale blindly with no test drive and no APR rate, Nico reassured me he will take care of me and get me the lowest APR since I have excellent credit. So I went ahead and paid $1,000 for them to hold the car that was coming in February for me. A few days past, and I was curious to see if I could pull up the details on Subaru’s website about the car. When I plugged in the Vin#, to my dismay I saw that the car was actually a base line model and the interior color was not what was presented to me. I immediately called the dealership and spoke with Nico. He looked up the car and found that it indeed was the wrong model and color they sold me. He immediately searched for the model I wanted and found one premium hatchback in dark gray with black interior. He also told me that specific car could be delivered the first week of February. However, the price of that car was higher than what we agreed on days before. That was disappointing, and frustrating. I think the honorable thing they could have done was honor the original price they gave me when they mistakenly told me it was the interior color and model I wanted when I paid my deposit. My excitement over buying a new car was now weighed down by the unsettling feeling of the whole situation. Looking back now (the morning after), this would have been the perfect opportunity for me to pull out of the deal due to their error, but Nico kept assuring me that he’s got me, and did offer a lower monthly payment than he quoted for the 2nd (and right) car, or at least a payment marginally close to what we'd hoped for, but still over budget. The next morning Nico called me to say that my car arrived, 10 days before the expected arrival. We went to the dealership to see and test drive the car. Afterwards, I did have to go to finance to finish the process with Bernard, who was a pleasure to work with. A few hours later, my new car was detailed and the gas tank was filled, and I drove it off the lot. All in all, I did wind up paying approximately $6,000 over the MSRP, including taxes and fees, add-ons, extended warranties and maintenance package, which took me WAY OVER my budget again. I’m honestly disappointed with that, because they were charging me for things I had no control of, for example the Blue Steel Etch which they said is mandatory on all their cars, but yet they charge the customers for it. Overall, this was not what car buying experience should be, and the final sticker price was even more shocking; but Connor, Nico and Bernard did what they could to try and make me happy, hence my 3 stars, because while the staff were great, the whole experience and final price tag was extremely disappointing. Not worth the price, errors, and now have buyer’s remorse. More
