Glad I took the time check here After researching vehicles we'd settled on the Legacy however had trouble finding the right combination of model, color and options at any of the deal After researching vehicles we'd settled on the Legacy however had trouble finding the right combination of model, color and options at any of the dealerships in the area. In the process of hunting I had contacted DJ Dougherty by phone and was impressed by their helpfulness and attractive pricing on a vehicle similar to what I was seeking. So when it came time to buy I decided to call him back. I was glad I did as he was able to find the exact car I was seeking in a few minutes and provide a better price out the door then I had been able to obtain elsewhere. Adding the fact that they were relatively close and offered extras like "free oil changes" - it was an easy decision. It was all handled by phone in a few minutes. It was one of the quickest car purchases I have ever made. My decision was validated by how well organized everything was when it came time to pick up our car a couple of days later and complete the paperwork. The vehicle is loaded with high tech features, so we really appreciated that DJ took an hour to help us set up some of them and give us an orientation to the rest. We parted with an invitation to return to go over the car's features further after we had time get use to it. It appears after the sale service here is more then just a promise. It all happened because we took a few minutes to call back to check and see what they could offer. Good decision. More

Completely satisfied customer We made several trips in to talk with Frank Hart and he was always knowledgeable, helpful, and delightful to work with. He is extremely professional We made several trips in to talk with Frank Hart and he was always knowledgeable, helpful, and delightful to work with. He is extremely professional and treats customers with respect and kindness. We never felt pressured; only that he cared for us to have the car that best fits our needs. Always answered questions truthfully and thoroughly. We could not have had a better experience. Also J. D. Dougherty was very helpful with the Costco program. They have a very friendly, comfortable dealership atmosphere. Frank gave us thorough driving exposure to the car we were looking at and was patient and awesome as he taught us how our new purchase operates--a significant learning curve for us with all the new car attributes.

They see you, your life situations, what is needed and they explore all avenues to find the right vehicle for you. The Peninsula Subaru staff went above and beyond what I had expected. Although they could have made a bigger and quicker sale with another customer, they took their valuable time to listen to my situation. I let them know I started a great new job and I commuted two hours each way. During the first month and a half of working there, I had been through two used cars. I was trying to save money by buying older used cars. Instead, it cost me time away from work when they would break down. One car left me stranded in the middle of the freeway during rush hour. Seemed like everyone at Peninsula Subaru became involved to help. They saw how important it was for me to have a safe vehicle for myself, my son and other commuters! I was able to drive away in a new Mitsubishi Mirage! With it going up to 44 miles per gallon, I am looking forward to saving money on gas, having stress free drives to work and going on nice long road trips! Thank you Peninsula Subaru! ~C. Moreno More

Made a fair deal (with a little work). Stopped by to see if I could make a deal last Saturday (10-17-15) I had the cars VIN # which was at another dealer. Their sales manager was a nice guy Stopped by to see if I could make a deal last Saturday (10-17-15) I had the cars VIN # which was at another dealer. Their sales manager was a nice guy but it took a while to get him to my figure. While he was doing this others were trying to contact the other dealer to secure the car,Tanner Dickson, a very nice guy, took good care til all arrangements were made. Car was lined up for delivery Monday as they close Sunday. Monday rolled around and I was informed the car was ready. The car was quite nicely detailed and thoroughly explained to my wife and I so away we went. Very very nice car (Legacy Limited) and good people to deal with. More

Outstanding experience My wife and I just recently purchased a 2016 Outback. The experience was simply OUTSTANDING. This is our 4th Subaru and 2nd purchased through DJ and My wife and I just recently purchased a 2016 Outback. The experience was simply OUTSTANDING. This is our 4th Subaru and 2nd purchased through DJ and Peninsula Subaru. Since we experienced DJ the last time we went straight to him this time. My wife was considering another manufacturer (Hyundai) so we asked DJ what he thought (we all know he would favor Subaru). He brought up a comparison chart and went into great detail with it. He was very honest where the other vehicle was similar in comparison and exceeded Subaru, but also showed where Subaru excelled. His honesty and being forthright was, again, very helpful in our decision making process. He is extremely knowledgeable, straight forward in his approach, quick to answer any questions that arise, and available to answer any future questions or give explanations. I'm not a fan of sales pitches and DJ does not do that. A VERY good experience again! More

Best Car Buying Experience Ever! This is rather a lengthy review but worth reading. In my over thirty years of car buying I've never been this happy and satisfied without exagerati This is rather a lengthy review but worth reading. In my over thirty years of car buying I've never been this happy and satisfied without exageration. It took me seven months doing research and test drives, looking for the best value for my money. I checked the CRV, RAV4, and Outback. Along the way, I met with different dealers' personnel and my experience with Peninsula Subaru and the others is day and night by comparison. I also boiught a RAV4 several years ago and it was a total disappointment. For example. when I was at the Finance offfice to complete the paperworks I was standing throughout the time the finance guy was preparing the documents. I had to sit myself. And when I received the registration and title, despite the fact that I paid cash, a credit union was showing as the lien holder. Those are just two of the many problems I had with this dealership. With Peninsula Subaru, my experience was just like buying an appliance at an appliance store; no pressure whatsoever. While I was looking online for an Outback I decided to call DJ Dougherty and asked him if they do a price match, Once he said yes he even told me that the price is even better than the price I get thru an Auto Buying Program that others offer. Once he told me what the price was I knew I was getting a great deal ( I said earlier it took me seven months to do research, and also taught Car Buying classes while in the military) and since they don't have the one I want in stock he will get it from other dealers. We finalized the deal over the phone WITHOUT putting money down. And he asked me when I can pick up the car. The next day DJ called me to let me know that he will not be available the day I will pick up the car, and that the price is final without changes to the deal and I will see Erik Lelevier. I became suspicious, because in my experience, this is one of the tricks some dealerships use. I decided to show up anyway as agreed to see Erik. Once I met Erik my suspicion was gone and I felt at ease immediately. He was very pleasant to talk to, very respectful, courteous, and accomodating. Once we were done inspecting the car, he took me to the Finance office to meet Kevin Dunn. Experience with Kevin was no different. Total time spent with paperworks was less than thirty minutes from Erik to Kevin. Also I cannot forget John Kearns who I first met last summer and he was instrumental in my going back to Peninsula Subaru. Everyone I dealt with was sincere and their professionalism was on full display each time I visited the place. Comparing Peninsula Subaru and other dealerships I dealt with, this is byfar the most honest and trustworthy. This also changed my mind to stick with Subaru cars in my future purchases and definitely recommend to anyone I know to buy from them. More
