He spoke cl at delivery time, Brian Goon handled the walk-thru and explanation of features. He did an outstanding job making things easily understood. He spoke clearly, answered all our questions and did not rush thru anything. I ordered our 2020 Ascent thru Dan Meola in June 2019. He quoted me a (very competitive, attractive) price with all the features and trim package we wanted. He kept me regularly informed with updates and timing on the delivery. He has a very good grasp of the order/delivery process, is very easy to talk with on the phone and in-person. The car delivery date was as projected, which we were very happy about. Our price was exactly as quoted. Tom Portee in finance handled all the paperwork, payment smoothly. This is a big purchase and we felt like we were appreciated as customers. I do Highly Recommend Liberty Subaru. More

I never felt any pressure to buy, but the Subaru is such a superb vehicle and an excellent value that my wife and I leased two Foresters. This is my first Subaru...it won't be my last. The parts department is excellent, also. More

GREAT BUYING EXPERIENCE Right off the bat after contacting Dan about buying a new Subaru he gave me a straight forward good low purchase price on the vehicle i was in interes Right off the bat after contacting Dan about buying a new Subaru he gave me a straight forward good low purchase price on the vehicle i was in interested in. Fast responses as we mostly spoke through emails. He was very helpful with information and made the negotiations super simple. After agreeing on a price and choosing to finance over leasing he placed my order as they did not have what i wanted on the lot. He gave me updates up until the car was delivered to the dealer. The car also showed up way ahead of schedule. The availability to pick it up was broad and quick. The day I showed up at the dealership Dan could not make it that day so he set me up with Anthony who handled the delivery in the place of Dan. Anthony was very helpful and friendly. I had family members with me and he went as far as carrying around a chair so we all had a place to sit. The finance employee was also very friendly and did not try to push any extensions on me like a typical finance coordinator would do. The whole process was fast and simple. I am thankful i made the drive from PA (roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes) do deal with such a great staff. More

Exceptional Car Buying experience from start to finish. The car buying experience to me is one that can be a love hate relationship. You are exited to get a new vehicle but hate the process. But in the cas The car buying experience to me is one that can be a love hate relationship. You are exited to get a new vehicle but hate the process. But in the case of buying a vehicle from Liberty Subaru, I can honestly say it is all love. I was told of Liberty and how they treat their customers, and once I dealt with them, I saw that it was all true. They make you feel at ease without any typical sales pressure that one is accustomed in getting. The dealership and service area are clean and every customer in the showroom was treated with respect and everyone had a smile. No "over the shoulder pounce on you" situation. They let the customer alone until they are ready to talk or have questions. They provided a fair and very good price both on the vehicle as well as the trade in. Everything was outlined and explained. No hidden costs. If their service dept is a great as the sales people, I wouldn't mind taking my vehicle to them for our required maintenance even though they are further away than the dealerships closer to me. As for the staff that helped us with our purchase, they were... Dan Meola, my first contact with Liberty Subaru and upon first contacting him online, Dan answered every question quickly and explain the process. He quoted us an excellent price on both the vehicle and the trade in. Upon meeting him at the dealership, he greeted us and made us feel at ease before handling us to our direct sales consultant. 6 Weeks later when we came to pick up our vehicle, he again thanked us personally and explain the service department and maintenance schedule. Every attention to detail was exceptional. It was a pleasure to deal with him. Next was Brian Goon, my direct sales consultant. He was thorough and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. We never felt any pressure. He explained every little detail on the test drive as well in the order itself. He introduced us to the finance consultant and we placed the order. In the 6 week time my vehicle was in transit, I contacted Brian about adding more accessories and minor questions which would have drove anyone insane but Brian handle our conversations and requests like a champ and went above and beyond. On the day of delivery, he took extra time going over the vehicle, and its features. His attention to detail and knowledge of the vehicle is quite impressive. He is very accommodating and makes it all a wonderful experience. He makes the car buying process actually enjoyable. Kudos to Liberty for having having him. I highly recommend him. and finally there was Dave Finkel the finance consultant, he explain everything from the warranty to helping us with the credit union we deal with. Very mild mannered, friendly and doesn't give you the typical pushy sales pitch. Quite welcoming to say the least. He made it all understandable and basically seamless. Never have I felt so comfortable with a finance person but Dave is the first. He is awesome. We even talked about our cats. He along with the other two staff members made our purchase a reality. All three were exceptional. I highly recommend the dealership. it truly is a family dealership that really treats the customer, like family. (edit: I combined my 3 individual reviews of each staff member into one, since only one is allowed.) More

Amazing service People spend less time at dealers these days, since all the final deal, you can do it by email, text and phone call. specially I travel a lot and get People spend less time at dealers these days, since all the final deal, you can do it by email, text and phone call. specially I travel a lot and get off work late, it's very convenience to get quote via email. if you want to save time and avoid seating at the dealer for hours, talk to "Daniel Rovelli" no brainier. I save tons of time and best deal for my 2019 Outback 3.6R limited, trust me I been dealing all tri-state Subaru dealers and they can't even get close to this one, Maybe they do not want to give final number via email or text, that I do not know and I don't care. I will refer Liberty Subaru to any friends and family who want to get Subaru. More

Excellent Service I purchased/financed a new Crosstrek in 2015 and recently leased a new Outback at Liberty Subaru. I came back because of the excellent service - the s I purchased/financed a new Crosstrek in 2015 and recently leased a new Outback at Liberty Subaru. I came back because of the excellent service - the sales people here aren't pushy at all; rather, they guide you based on what you need/want from your car. I walked in thinking the Forester was the best bet for me. I ultimately leased the Outback because Jeff and Dan really paid attention to what I was looking for (primarily cargo space, since I use my vehicle for business), and they worked with me on my budget. The whole process was very straightforward, and I like working with people who are courteous and have respect for my time :). I will also mention that Rob in Finance was also very helpful in explaining the lease process, since this was the first time I was leasing a vehicle. I love my Outback & I'm so happy it was the vehicle I ultimately leased. Finally, I will add that I get my Crosstrek serviced at Liberty and only Liberty (can't comment on the Outback yet as it's only 2 weeks old!). I find the service department to be thorough, efficient, and they never recommend unnecessary updates or repairs that you simply do not need. A+ all around. More

I tried to get the price matched with the same dealer I bought my first Subaru in Kingston NY. They said that they would hit you with all sorts of hidden fees. There were no hidden fees, they were completely transparent with the price. When I showed the Kingston dealership the bottom line cost, I never heard back from them. The customer service was outstanding and Daniel Rovelli was professional and immediately responded to any questions I had. Would recommend this dealership to my family and friends. More
