Persistence pays off High praise to both Fred Fogel and Nelson Demelo for their no nonsense approach to earning my business. Fred was very accessible and responded to my m High praise to both Fred Fogel and Nelson Demelo for their no nonsense approach to earning my business. Fred was very accessible and responded to my many requests for information where other local salespersons would not. Fred is the reason why I eventually made the 90 minute drive to Brewster Subaru, and I’m glad I did. While there, I met with General Manger Nelson Demelo who listened to my needs and made sure that all of my expectations were met. Two weeks later I drove away with the vehicle I wanted at the negotiated price feeling confident about my purchase. Not very often do you feel good about the car buying experience, but Brewster Subaru came through. I will definitely recommend this dealership to friends and consider again for future purchases. More

Excellent Car Purchase Experience Our purchase of a new Crosstrek couldn't of went better; basically, by the numbers. From the moment we entered the dealership, everyone was friendly Our purchase of a new Crosstrek couldn't of went better; basically, by the numbers. From the moment we entered the dealership, everyone was friendly and helpful. Without realizing it, we arrived at closing time. The salesperson (Mitchel) welcomed us and stayed past closing time and answered all our questions. When we made the purchase, the pricing and financing were made very clear. Brewster Subaru didn't have the exact model we were looking for in stock, but they found one in a few days. A couple of days after that, we finalized the deal with Christer in their finance department and were driving the car out of their parking lot. Fast, precise, honest, and not pushy. What else is there. I would recommend this dealership to friends and family. More

Second purchase in three years. To paraphrase the General Manager, NelsonDemelo, we do our best to be at our best, it shows.

Mitchel Pollack, Sales Consultant, I know it sounds official, is easy to deal with: patient, there're always many questions, most competent and gracious, all of which was appreciated. Suffice it to say I've already recommended Mitch and Brewster Subaru to a couple of friends, since my recent purchased of an Impreza, in grey, which I also recommend. More

Great , no-pressure buying experience. Roy and Nelson were a pleasure to work with. They did not pressure us to buy the car on the spot, even after the price was negotiated.

Felt like home! Before I decided on a Subaru I did a lot of research. I checked out tons of reviews and they all pointed to purchasing the Impreza. I started working Before I decided on a Subaru I did a lot of research. I checked out tons of reviews and they all pointed to purchasing the Impreza. I started working with Roy Schiller, and he (and his sweater) made me feel right at home! Unfortunately, we had to put a pause on purchasing the car, and started back up this month (August). I emailed Roy and immediately he once again made me feel right at home. Everyone at Brewster was extremely friendly and welcoming. Huge thank you to Nelson and Christer as well, who made the process enjoyable as well. Definitely will do business with Brewster Subaru again. More

HIGHLY recommended!!!! My wife and I recently purchased a CPO Subaru Forester at Brewster Subaru. We had been looking for year until the right car and a fair price came to My wife and I recently purchased a CPO Subaru Forester at Brewster Subaru. We had been looking for year until the right car and a fair price came to our attention. We had been to many dealers - having had some really bad experiences which taught us a lot! Shopping at Brewster Subaru was wonderful. Everyone was nice, honest, and pleasant. There were no "by-the-way" hidden charges. Our salesperson was Robyn Rey and she worked with us via phone and email until the right car came in. It is not our custom to but a new car every few years. So, getting a new one is a big deal for us. Robyn (along with Nelson and Rich) made this the most pleasant car buying experience of our lives. Thank you all so much! M & F More

Treated Like Family This is the second car I’ve bought here in the past year. This dealer makes buying a total pleasure. Easiest buy ever.

The level of care and courtesy makes me feel like a VIP. Everyone is friendly; helpful and wonderful. For me, this took the scary right out of car buying. I am home with my new baby; had a few questions called and thegot back to me immediately. Wowza. Impressive, very impressive. Only place I’ll buy a car from. Excellent business. More
