5 STAR CUSTOMER SERVICE The customer service at Brewster Subaru is first class! I had to turn in my company car at the end of 2016, and my new Subaru was due for delivery in The customer service at Brewster Subaru is first class! I had to turn in my company car at the end of 2016, and my new Subaru was due for delivery in late December. When the dealership found out that my car was delayed, they gave me a new Subaru to drive until my car arrived. The atmosphere in this dealership is very friendly (like a family), and they really care about their customers. Nelson Demelo, General Manager; Patrick Larson, Sales Manager; Rich Johnson, Business Manager; and Mitch Pollack, Sales were wonderful to work with. If you are shopping for a Subaru, go to Brewster, NY! More

My customer experience throughout the decision-making, purchase and delivery process was world class. Subaru should be proud of the team Nelson has put together and manages. My wife and I have purchased several Lexus and BMWs over the past ten years. The experience we have had with Nelson and Brewster Subaru far outshines any other we have had. It is remarkable how in such a short period of time they have managed to nurture what will soon become a loyal customer, who will not only will be extremely satisfied, but will urge and direct others to the doorsteps of Brewster Subaru.

Excellent!!! My husband and I purchased a 2017 Subaru Outback from Brewster Subaru, and traded in our Nissan, and we could not be happier with our experience! Nels My husband and I purchased a 2017 Subaru Outback from Brewster Subaru, and traded in our Nissan, and we could not be happier with our experience! Nelson, Anthony and Rich were all extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. Nelson and Anthony worked carefully with us to find the right vehicle in terms of design, price and features. They felt like friends to us from the very beginning...even helping entertain our 18 month old which is no easy task! The entire dealership is unlike any other - forget sales pitches and hungry competitive attitudes here - everyone is like family and helps each other. Great vibe and superb customer service. We could not be happier with our transaction! I have already recommended them to friends and family. Thank you Brewster Subaru!! More

I had 2 to trade in, one of them was recently inherited but still titled in the deceased name. Robyn got straight to work. She found the perfect car for me, exactly what I wanted. She got the title taken care of, send it overnight to CA, all to make sure I would have my car in 3 days. I would recommend her to anyone! She goes above and beyond. More
