Michael in the service lane is so welcoming. He got my day started perfectly at 6:30 am for my last visit. On time service complete with a hot chocolate on a cool day. Thank you, Bloomington Subaru! More

I'm leaving this negative review only after emailing the Service Director, Lisa Mullenburg, who has not responded to my email. Last week I went to the Express Service lane to have the brake fluid checked More

HI Amy, It was definitely not our intention to make you feel taken advantage of during your recent visit and I am very sorry for the miscommunication in regard to the determination of your brake rotors’ condition. I completely understand it must have been very frustrating to hear the technician say that he thinks the brake rotors may be able to be resurfaced to save you some money, after already being told by your advisor they would actually need replacement. The most accurate way to determine the brake rotors’ condition was the close observance upon removal of the brake caliper and brake pads. I had the opportunity to directly speak with the technician and watched his inspection video. Based on the preliminary visual condition of the brake rotors (when the brake caliper and brake pads were still mounted) they seemed like they were in somewhat acceptable condition to salvage with resurfacing based on some of the visible metal seen. He concurred that once they were dismounted he told the advisor he would not be able to save them. I acknowledge this could have been handled better and prevented on our end with concise communication from your advisor. He should have explained to you that in the video you would be receiving shortly states that the technician noted he thinks he can save the brake rotors, but later discovered he cannot resurface once they were removed and looked at further, observing there was a copius amount of rust encompassing them, then subsequently recommended replacement of the brake rotors. As one of the vital parts of the brake component system, brake rotors consistently work together with the brake pads, which squeeze onto the brake rotors each time you step on the brakes while driving. To ensure optimal stopping, it would definitely be important to have them in tip-top condition. Had we been able to resurface them we would have. If we did attempt to resurface the brake rotors in the condition they were actually in, they would have disintegrated upon contact with the high-powered resurfacing machine. Michael and the technician express they are very apologetic for how these chain of events made you feel and did not mean to give off this correction as an ‘up-sell’. This was not about selling you something you didn’t need, it was a safety concern and there was no way that we could have saved those brake rotors as they were in a terrible unsafe condition. Once you spoke to Michael and made him aware of what the technician stated in the video, he wanted to make sure he was fully transparent with you about this decision change and brought the brake rotor for you to inspect in the waiting room with additional explanation for why we were unable to resurface them. With safety in mind, it would have been a disservice to you if we did not maintain transparency to immediately bring this to your attention upon discovery. I do sincerely apologize if this situation upset you and made you feel uncomfortable.
