The evening I came to the dealership I was evaluating the viability and cost effectiveness of upgrading my 2011 Subaru Forester to a 2014 Forester Limited. (Note: I was looking for one of 2 specific colors - viability and cost effectiveness of upgrading my 2011 Subaru Forester to a 2014 Forester Limited. (Note: I was looking for one of 2 specific colors - which Elk Grove Subaru was the only dealer, out of the 6 closet dealers to me, that showed the Forester in stock online with the options I specifically wanted). I had been communicating with Mike Carlson on and off for about 4 or 5 days prior to my arrival. And, as Mike had said in his emails to me, he made a point to be available specifically for me at the time I arrived (just as we had previously agreed to). Mike was respectful, professional, and listened to what I wanted and was important to me. He was persistent in working with me in a manner as not to exceed the budget I wanted to stay within, and, though I originally had not planned on purchasing the Touring Edition, Mike and Brandon were able to exceed my expectations by making it possible for me to purchase my new vehicle (which is the exact color I wanted and contains not only the options I wanted - it also has extras that are very nice to have) at a monthly cost that is very close to the payments I had been making on my previous 2011 Forester. After years of purchasing only used vehicles, and this being only the 2nd new vehicle in 33 years, Mike and Brandon made this new car purchase one of the best car buying experiences I've ever had. Therefore, even though the dealership is more than 20 miles from my home, I intend to have Elk Grove Subaru continue with the after sales service on my vehicle as well... Plus, it's worth it just to enjoy the drive in my New 2014 Subaru Forester. Thank you very much Mike (and Brandon)! Respectfully, E.T. Ned Johns More

I was very reluctant to accompany my husband to test drive a 2014 Outback, based on past experiences of purchasing a new vehicle. I am very happy to say that Mike Carlson has changed my view of the car drive a 2014 Outback, based on past experiences of purchasing a new vehicle. I am very happy to say that Mike Carlson has changed my view of the car buying experience. We visited Elk Grove Subaru a few times, expressed what our interests were and what price range we would like to stay within and there was no pressure or haggling from Mike or any other employees. Mike was professional, informative and knowledgable. He found exactly what we were looking for and within our price range. We would definitely buy from Mike and Elk Grove Subaru in the future and would gladly recommend the same to family and friends!!! More
