Flávio p Flavio, at Cityside Subaru in Belmont provided me the optimal car sales experience. I came into the dealership to test drive a new Outback. Flávio provided an appropriate car to test suggested a good route to experience the road conditions I wanted. I liked the car but was not ready to make the decision that day. He waited patiently as I did some research at home without calling me. I made an appointment about two weeks later to decide on the car and negotiate a deal. I was not interested in any car that was readily available and I was willing to wait for what I wanted. His prediction about the length of the wait very accurate. The exact car I wanted, model color and options was delivered after a short, informative and also low key meeting with the business/finance person, Mike. It was a great experience start to finish.

Great All-Around Experiences at CitySide Subaru My wife and I both bought new Subaru's from CityySide. My wife bought a fully loaded Forrester back in March. CitySide was extremely patient with the My wife and I both bought new Subaru's from CityySide. My wife bought a fully loaded Forrester back in March. CitySide was extremely patient with the process, and intensely competitive versus 3 other Subaru dealerships in Greater Boston. The two biggest surprises were the unhurried and extraordinarily thorough training on the new Forrester from Tom; as well as a lot of time spent sync'ing Sally's smartphone and underlying data with the Car's sophisticated electronics. The second was that the financial process was wonderfully low-key and friendly with Mike, with all the heavy paperwork lifting done well in advance and every option explained and discussed at our own pace. When it came time for me to explore buying my own car a month later, both gentlemen could not possibly have gone out of their way to make sure I got the best deal out there; and both provided the same terrific purchase-and-training assistance. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Chuck Ellis More

He lis I worked with Tom DAlessandro who was very professional and knowledgeable about the car I had interested in; the 2015 Subaru Outback Limited. He listened to what I needed in a car. I never felt he was trying to sell me something I didn't need. He gave me time to think about what options I truly wanted. When I picked up the car it was effortless and comfortable. Tom gave me an extensive tutorial about my car. He explained everything to me from the roof racks to setting up my i phone, navigation etc. I left the dealership feeling confident and comfortable with my new car. Working with Tom was a Great Experience! More

After having searched online Cityside appeared to be one of the biggest in our area and well rated. Right when we walked through the door we were greeted with a smile and introduced to our salesman Tom. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable with explaining the nuances of the car. Unlike other salesmen we had dealt with he was focused on trying to find the right car for us and not just a sale. We were allowed to take a test drive in one of the Forester's and fell in love with the car. After haggling the price with Tom and the Manager we came out with an amazing deal. The finance manager we dealt with was also very helpful with explaining our different payment options, warranty, etc. Overall this was a great car buying experience experience and I would definitely reccommend Cityside to anyone in the market for a new Subaru.
