Friendly and honest Darren Shin (Sales) was outstanding and very honest, the experience was nothing as other dealers I had visited both for Subaru and other brands. He wa Darren Shin (Sales) was outstanding and very honest, the experience was nothing as other dealers I had visited both for Subaru and other brands. He was like an open book without any small print. He met my requirements all the way and did even better than what I asked for. Mike (Finance) was outstanding as well, had similar interests and was confident on meeting my concerns 100%. We had similar interests (salesman tactics) but i didn't feel any of that. Since purchase of the car I have not had any issues and hoping I don't have any with the car. If I do end up getting issues I am pretty sure they will both go beyond helping me getting the issue resolved. This dealership should feel blessed on having Darren and Mike on their team. More

Easiest Car Buying Experience...EVER My wife and I were in the market for a new car, but weren't sure which we were going to go with. We shopped around and test drove a few different mod My wife and I were in the market for a new car, but weren't sure which we were going to go with. We shopped around and test drove a few different models, but tested the Subaru last. It was an easy choice. From the moment we entered the sales floor Darren was super easy to work with and talk to. No sales pitch, no gimmicks, no pushing us toward a different or pricier car or model. Just easy going, 'here are the keys, let me know what you think'. We bought on the spot. Price was great, no need to negotiate and everything was wrapped up within an hour. More

5 star Subaru dealership My husband made some research and decided that Subaru is the perfect make for New England weather. We came to the dealership in Belmont and walked out My husband made some research and decided that Subaru is the perfect make for New England weather. We came to the dealership in Belmont and walked out with all the paperwork signed! It was a really hassle free experience, special thanks to Peter. No rush, no pressure, super helpful! During our visit, we looked at few cars that we were interested in and test drived it. Although we liked tangerine crosstrack xv we still couldn't decide. Peter helped us vocalizing our needs and preferences in a new vehicle by asking right questions. It's great to deal with people who know their profession and find passion in it. Even after the purchase of the vehicle, I feel I can ask questions freely and get my answers pretty timely. I brought the car to Subaru service few times for some maintenance. Each time I dealt with one person named Zander. I found him also very helpful and friendly. I recently found out that my husband has been friends with him since high school. Recently my husband ran into Peter at the store and asked few questions about a problem we were having with the car. Peter gave some advise which we followed and we were able to rectify the problem. Thank you, Subaru! More
