After an awful experience at 46 Nissan in NJ where I fell completely in love with a car that they would not let me drive away without a $5,000 warranty, I found the same car at Colonial Subaru. Fred made eve completely in love with a car that they would not let me drive away without a $5,000 warranty, I found the same car at Colonial Subaru. Fred made everything easy. There were no games, Fred made himself completely available to me via phone, and it was an easy breezy experience. Everything was handled and taken care of within 24 hours, mostly via computer/phone -- literally so easy. I love my car and would recommend Fred at Colonial to anyone looking for a hassle free car buying experience! More

We are so grateful to Fred Artman! Fred was over-the-top generous with his time and knowledge—and we didn’t even buy a car from him! He helped us sort through pre-owned options and told us exactly what ques generous with his time and knowledge—and we didn’t even buy a car from him! He helped us sort through pre-owned options and told us exactly what questions to ask about specific vehicles. We bought a car elsewhere THIS TIME but will turn to Colonial Subaru & Fred first, next. Many thanks--we're impressed. More

DEALERxxxx I had an appointment with FRED ARTMAN at 5:30 one evening. My husband and I got there at around 5:15/5:20 and he was working with another customer. I had an appointment with FRED ARTMAN at 5:30 one evening. My husband and I got there at around 5:15/5:20 and he was working with another customer. The sales manager greeted us and started gathering information about what we wanted in a car. He showed us a few different things and then took us to the showroom to let us look around. He left us alone just looking at cars, never explained anything about the cars to us, not showing us special features or anything. We ended up sitting at some random desk just waiting. Eventually Fred showed up and asked what we wanted to test drive and we said the forester. He found keys to one and brought me to it to test drive. He did not come with me on the test drive, I am not familiar with the Danbury area. He rattled off two streets to turn on to get back to the dealership. He never explained anything about the car. When I got back to the dealership I had to find Fred to ask if it was ok for my husband to test drive it next. He said fine, also not telling him anything about the car. My husband test drove it and came back. Fred was with A DIFFERENT COUPLE at his desk. We were completely ignored and we were trying to drop 30k on a new car. We sat there for almost 2 hours and we were never given prices or had numbers run, never explained anything about the cars or which one would be good for us. Not offered a cup of coffee. Avoid this dealerxxxx at all costs. I will not be back and I stopped at Brewster Subaru on the way home where I was greeted, had numbers run, and scheduled another appointment in all of 10 minutes. People get annoyed when salespeople are too pushy.. I would have appreciated a bit of push. At least acknowledge my presence in your dealership. 2 hours wasted and I still don’t know anything about any of the cars. More

Great expedited buying experience! Simple, minimal haggle buying experience. I was able to get my ideal color and trim and went home with my new car and traded my old one in 3 hours.

Easy and stress free Fred helped me find what I wanted with no hassle. Easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had. Only took one day and gave me a fair trade on my car.
