I was greeted by Geo in the expansive parking lot. He escorted me into a beautiful showroom, much nicer than others I've recently been to. I met Jamie, the manager, and he offered me a drink. Then Geo l escorted me into a beautiful showroom, much nicer than others I've recently been to. I met Jamie, the manager, and he offered me a drink. Then Geo listened to my car needs, pulled up a car for me to test drive, and before we took it out, he showed me the interior, exterior, and trunk areas. He was well spoken and explained things clearly, answering the many questions I had. I took my test drive and then sat down with Geo and Jamie to discuss price. They were both friendly and patient and my experience was excellent. More

I negotiated with the salesman and manager here to trade in my truck for a new Impreza. We got to the point where they would give me $15,500 for my truck and the car would be $23,000 and my monthly payment in my truck for a new Impreza. We got to the point where they would give me $15,500 for my truck and the car would be $23,000 and my monthly payment would be $337 per month. I said I would think about it and for them to get back to me if they could do any better. A few days later they contacted me saying that was the best they could do. I said if you could take off another $12 a month we would have a deal and they agreed. This would be $325 a month according to them. This would give me another $864 to be added to my truck or taken off the price of the car. I went back to finalize the deal and when I sat down to do the paper work things didn't add up. The monthly payment was $328 a month so I started looking at the purchase price of the car and the trade in value of my truck. Instead of giving me more for my truck the contract said $15,000 and the car price was just under $23,000, I think it was $22,930. According to my agreement with Geo Padilla I should have been at $15,500 for my truck and $22,136 for the car or the $864 applied to my trade either way i borrow the same amount. This was $1,364 off. This was all after I've spent two nights there negotiating with them because the truck I purchased from them two years prior had been in an accident before i bought it. That I only found out when looking for a new car this time. They told me when I bought it that it had never been in an accident but i found out that it was. I gave this Dealership a second chance and that was a big mistake and i definately wont do it again. More

I have just leased my 4th Subaru vehicle. I have spent I have just leased my 4th Subaru vehicle. I have spent the last 14 years driving only Subaru. I have loved every single one of them. I have dealt I have just leased my 4th Subaru vehicle. I have spent the last 14 years driving only Subaru. I have loved every single one of them. I have dealt only with the Pine Belt Subaru dealer in Lakewood NJ. This dealership has always treated me with courtesy, professionalism and has never made me feel obligated or pressured to purchase any of the 4 vehicles I have leased through their dealership. My first lease was a Subaru Legacy; I drove that car for 5 years and it was wonderful, never a single issue and it drove beautifully. I then leased the Subaru Forrester, LL Bean edition, again, simply perfect. I loved the Forrester so much my 3rd lease was also a Forester, limited edition. Never a single issue with the car and the safety features ( all-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes, I.H.S. top safety pick for all 2012 models) is the reason I continue to drive only Subaru. My most recent lease was the 2013 Outback, what a beauty! This car is simply amazing! The gas mileage is terrific; the heated seats are just an absolute bonus, 6 airbags and the most comfortable ride! Need I say more? Subaru and I are perfect together! My salesperson was Ron Sikkama, I personally requested him because he was my salesperson for my last Subaru lease 3 and half yrs. ago, and he was excellent. Ron is the kind of man all car dealerships should strive to employ. He is so laid back, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the Subaru line. I inundated Ron with so many questions, and he answered each and every one without hesitation or annoyance (I was quite annoying with the number of questions) Ron made me feel comfortable, very comfortable, that is a rarity at any car dealership. It was very clear to me; he had only my best interest at heart. I can only hope Ron is there in 2015 when I WILL be back to lease my 5th Subaru. I also spent a great deal of time with Jaimie Palazzo, the General Manager. This man is a saint. Jaimie was responsible for the financial end of this deal. I kid you not, when I say I put this man through xxxx and back. He sat down with me in the showroom and quoted me a price for leasing the 2013 Outback. I am not exaggerating when I tell you, I sent this poor man back to his office time and time again to re- crunch the numbers. I wanted a price for 12,000 miles, then 10,000 miles, and then 42 months, and then 36 months, then with auto start, I then had the audacity to ask him not to forget about the Lease Loyalty Program. I think Jaimie lost a good 10 lbs. that day, going to and from his office from the showroom. Long story short (I guess it’s too late for that) I got the most amazing deal. I could not be happier. Finally, I had the pleasure to meet Geo Padilla. Geo is also a sales associate and his job was to explain to me how to use the blue tooth hands free phone option in the Outback. Well, this would not be an easy feat. Technology and I are not on the same planet. I still have no idea how to program or use my blue ray DVD player, Record a show to my Dvr, GPS… forget about it, and my iPhone 4s is an absolute mystery. Geo had his work cut out for him on this one… god help him. Geo sat with me in the car and very patiently explained how this feature works with my I phone, the same I phone I only know how to text or make a call on. Amazingly, Geo was a success. I am still in shock over this one! I am fully knowledgeable in the use of the blue tooth phone feature; simply astounding! I would highly recommend Pine belt Subaru of Lakewood to anyone and everyone. The staff and the Subaru line are top notch! More

the men who worked to sell us the car were extremely helpful, letting us take a car overnight and helping with the finance but truthfully we only came in to look and think about buying a car. so i guess helpful, letting us take a car overnight and helping with the finance but truthfully we only came in to look and think about buying a car. so i guess they did their job right, as we are now proud owners of a 2012 subaru!!

The price I payed for the car seemed to be a far price. They were extremely friendly even the employees I wasn't dealing with were also friendly. The only negative thing was they made it hard to leave wit They were extremely friendly even the employees I wasn't dealing with were also friendly. The only negative thing was they made it hard to leave without buying something. They kept coming back with a better price. I would definitely promote any of my friends and family to at least give the dealer a shot at selling them a car. More

Excellent price quoted by Internet Team. Tried to get lower price, but could not be beaten. No qualms about Internet price quoted for exact type of new car wanted and preferred options. Visited showroo lower price, but could not be beaten. No qualms about Internet price quoted for exact type of new car wanted and preferred options. Visited showroom 11/17/11 and had brand new Subaru Outback 2.51 Premium in the color (high demand) and all options picked, which I drove home on 12/1/11. No trade in. Everyone was very nice and worked with me; no high pressure sale or warranty. I would buy another car from Pine Belt Subaru, it was such a wonderful experience. More
