No hassle; knowledgeable staff. Our first visit to Cityside really set the tone for our buying experience.

We were allowed to browse the lot on our own, without being hassled, for as long as we wished. When we desired to speak with a representative there was no wait, Flavio was there to introduce himself. We continued to correspond with Flavio over a series of visits as we considered various Subaru models as well as other makes. Flavio set us off on test drives of all of the relevant models and trims we expressed interest in, and was very knowledgeable about the features of each; he inspired confidence. Flavio was also extremely patient as we went through our buying process while always being cordial in his correspondence with us. We never felt pressured, nor did he try to up-sell us with features or models that didn't suit our stated needs. In the end, we are the happy owners of a new vehicle - exactly what we wanted - and we would gladly recommend Flavio and Cityside Subaru. I should also mention that Michael was a wiz with the paperwork, and clearly communicated with us as we completed the sales process. More

Exceptional Sales Process My wife and I have had good experiences buying new cars, and we have had awful experiences. Working with Tom D'Allessandro of CitySide Subaru over sev My wife and I have had good experiences buying new cars, and we have had awful experiences. Working with Tom D'Allessandro of CitySide Subaru over several months to find our perfect car was an exceptionally good, in fact entertainingly enjoyable experience. Tom was patient with us over time, did not rush us in any way, and served as a source of knowledge when we had questions from the complex to the simple to the just plain dumb. His know-how and sincerity, combined with a wonderful sense of humor made us feel safe, secure and cared for during the entire process. My wife and I have been customers at City Side Subaru for many years. We would recommend the Service Department to everyone. Now, we will also recommend the Sales Department, but particularly Tom D'Allessandro. He is a special young man to work with. Michael nelson also served us well as the administrator of all the finance, insurance, and DMV requirements for accurate paperwork. We recommend the entire process whole-heartedly. More

Highly responsive and matched another dealer's price I really enjoyed working with Tom. We were buying our car remotely, moving to Boston from New York, and already knew exactly what we wanted. We call I really enjoyed working with Tom. We were buying our car remotely, moving to Boston from New York, and already knew exactly what we wanted. We called around a few local dealerships, and Tom was the most responsive and most thorough. He had the car we wanted and offered it at a great price. When another dealership offered the same car in a different color at a lower price, he matched that price for us. We did all the communication by phone, email, and FedEx for the paperwork, and everything was quick, efficient, and seamless. When we finally arrived in Boston to pick up the car, Tom spent a good amount of time with us inside the vehicle, walking us through the various features, setting up our phones with the car's bluetooth, and making sure we were ready to hit the road. We would highly recommend working with Tom and with Cityside Subaru. More

Straightforward, honest, and great price. Everyone at Cityside, especially Tom Dalessandro, was outstanding. I tried to buy an Outback in November 2014, but there was 4 month wait. I ended u Everyone at Cityside, especially Tom Dalessandro, was outstanding. I tried to buy an Outback in November 2014, but there was 4 month wait. I ended up settling for another car, and didn't like it. I went back to see Tom, who remembered me immediately, and now I am driving a twilight blue outback limited with eyesight. No one pressured me at any point in the process. The first offer that they made me on my trade and the new car was miles better than I was receiving from any other dealer. Kudos also to Nate and Michael Nelson. Great place. Don't go anywhere else. Lou More

After seeing how well our Subaru held up in a crash we'll always buy Subarus, and after working with Glen we'll aways buy them from him! He was fantastic--efficient, informative, flexible, and completely delightful to work with. Thanks to Glen and Mike for turning a difficult experience into such a pleasure; we wound up, in a matter of days, with the car of our dreams! More

Excellent service I had an excellent experience buying an Outback from Glen Dalton, who was very friendly, professional and helpful but with no pressure. What really wa I had an excellent experience buying an Outback from Glen Dalton, who was very friendly, professional and helpful but with no pressure. What really was commendable was the way Glen handled the situation when someone hit the car I was going to trade in the day before I was due to pick up my new Subaru. He was reassuring and took care of how to handle everything right away. I had a very positive experience with Michael Nelson as well who took care of all the finances efficiently and professionally.

Super easy car buying experience I've been a loyal Subaru owner since I bought a new Outback in 2004. It was time to trade it in for a new one. I was not able to work out a deal wit I've been a loyal Subaru owner since I bought a new Outback in 2004. It was time to trade it in for a new one. I was not able to work out a deal with the dealership where I purchased and serviced the car. Cityside had some inventory on the lot of the particular model I wanted, but other than that had no experience with them prior to my visit. My sales person was Mark Lidano. To sum it up, I knew what I wanted, and Mark was professional, courteous, and incredibly efficient. The entire car buying process took about an hour and a half. We quickly determined a fair price for the new vehicle, a reasonable trade in for my old one, and we were done. Finance mgr Mike was excellent too. I'd recommend Cityside to anyone More
