My wife and I went to a lot of dealerships in the New England area (Subaru, Chevy, Toyota, Ford). Cityside Subaru stood out from the rest. Mark took the time to understand what we wanted in a car and a England area (Subaru, Chevy, Toyota, Ford). Cityside Subaru stood out from the rest. Mark took the time to understand what we wanted in a car and also spent a lot of time explaining our different options. It was clear that he wanted us to get the right car. Mike was open and honest with the loan and contract. Great service all around! Thanks, guys! More

My old car was on its last legs, and I had done a lot of research about what I wanted. When I decided on a Subaru Forrester, I looked for dealers in the area with financing promotions. After I filled out on research about what I wanted. When I decided on a Subaru Forrester, I looked for dealers in the area with financing promotions. After I filled out one of those "Contact Us" forms on the CitySide Subaru website, I figured I'd have to follow up at some point. But within a day I heard back and my initial questions were answered. Once I heard about their 0% financing deal on 2013 models, I decided to head in. I met with Mark Lidano, and I cannot say enough about how helpful he was. I ended up coming in for a test drive, asking questions, and running numbers on Saturday afternoon, and after sleeping on it and talking about it with my husband, I went back in Sunday to make the purchase. Knowing exactly what I wanted and what my budget was certainly helped me in the process, but having a salesman who was well-informed, patient, and more of a "guide" than a "salesman" was what made me feel comfortable and confident in moving forward with my purchase. I never felt pressured, and he was great about walking me through step by step so that I understood every piece (even things I wouldn't have known to ask). I've had my new car for a few weeks now, and I totally love it! More

Purchasing a Subaru Outback through Cityside Subaru with Mark Lidano as our sales representative for our SECOND Subara Outback purchase was an efficient and painless process. (I had also sent my brother the Mark Lidano as our sales representative for our SECOND Subara Outback purchase was an efficient and painless process. (I had also sent my brother there for his purchase of a Subaru through Mark about a year ago after our great first experience back in 2010.) We are hooked on Subaru's and would definitely send anyone interested in a Subaru to Belmont, regardless of the fact that IRA Subaru Danvers is much closer. Great experience! More

We were in the market for a new Subaru Outback and headed over to City Side to see what they had to offer. Right from the beginning we worked with Mark Lidano who was able to quickly find the exact car we wa over to City Side to see what they had to offer. Right from the beginning we worked with Mark Lidano who was able to quickly find the exact car we wanted, took us for a test drive, and answered all of our questions. Made it really easy to decide that this car was for us and this dealership would be the place to buy it. The finance team (Don and Mike) were excellent, they beat a financing rate that AAA had previously pre-approved us for. They clearly explained everything and didn't provide a 'hard sell' at any time. If your looking for a dealership that will work with you City Side is the place to go! More

I emailed several dealers for an out the door price and I emailed several dealers for an out the door price and Cityside Subaru was equal to the lowest price quoted. Mark's straight forward and no press I emailed several dealers for an out the door price and Cityside Subaru was equal to the lowest price quoted. Mark's straight forward and no pressure sales approach was refreshing. The whole process went smoothly and quickly no last minute extra costs thrown in, the price that was quoted was the price we paid. More

So I drove out to CitySide Subaru in our battered, scratched, dented, dog-infested, and whiny 2004 Forester, which we'd bought new from the same dealership (and of which our English setter, Zack, in h scratched, dented, dog-infested, and whiny 2004 Forester, which we'd bought new from the same dealership (and of which our English setter, Zack, in his puppyhood, had eaten the entire back of the back seat). My intention was to get an oil change and an 82,000-mile checkup, which involved checking the brakes and rotating the tires and a few other things. Waited in the very pleasant upstairs lounge/showroom, wandered around, admired the current models. And then it turned out that we absolutely needed, immediately, to repair the brakes, both front and back, and also that we would soon need to do something about a leaky strut, which would mean sinking quite a lot of money into this beat-up car. So I decided to talk with a salesman about possibly trading up to a younger, healthier used Forester. Was introduced to Mark Lidano, who was wonderfully helpful, kind, and patient. He listened carefully to my concerns about finances, pointed me to the perfect 2009 model, rode with me a few minutes to offer pointers on my (now quite rusty) stick-shifting technique (or lack of same), and let me take the car home to collect my husband and bring him back to the dealership for the dreaded negotiations on price. But those went surprisingly smoothly and fast, and we ended up with a combination of price, trade-in value, and extended warranty that seemed eminently fair to us. And then Mark personally took our aftermarket roof rack off the old car so that we could put it on the new one, and also removed our FastLane transponder, which we'd forgotten, and gave us new velcro to attach it to our new steed. Long story short, we went in for an oil change on a jalopy and came away with a real beauty of a car, pristine and immaculate, a gleaming silvery-green/blue with a moon roof and the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. The next day we drove it to Manhattan, with both of our large dogs in the rear storage area, and a fine time was had by all. THANK YOU, MARK!!! More
