I started working for Brandon Tomes Subaru in July of 2023. I love getting to know my customers and providing them with a comfortable, happy experience. Outside of work I love hanging out with friends or listening to music. When I have time I love watching or playing sports especially football and basketball. I love Subaru and look forward to getting a BRZ or a WRX soon!

We had a wonderful buying experience at Brandon Tomes Subaru dealership. Thanks to Rafay & special mention to GM Zack Alia for extending their great effort to make it easy for us in our decision making. Subaru dealership. Thanks to Rafay & special mention to GM Zack Alia for extending their great effort to make it easy for us in our decision making. We got the Forester 2024 that we think best for our son. We will go back to this dealership in the future for our third Subaru. More

We drove from out of state to purchase a Subaru from Brandon Tomes. Car was supposed to be detailed, filled up, and ready to depart the lot as per our sales person. This was far from the actual truth. Brandon Tomes. Car was supposed to be detailed, filled up, and ready to depart the lot as per our sales person. This was far from the actual truth. Car was only half full on gas, line items from our window sticker were missing, and the car was not detailed as it had footprints on the rear passenger floor mats. We had to essentially guide our sales person through the process, and everything had to be run through his manager causing time delays on a long day of driving to Mckinney and back home. The only part of the process that went as promised was the finance team. They had done their homework, collected our information, and had everything ready to go when we walked into the room. Price wise, they were very willing to compete, but buyer beware - they offered us a discount only to reclaim it with dealer add-ons. We argued the point, and they gave us most of the dealer add-ons at no cost. Typical car sales tactics. Luckily they are moving to a new location because their current dealership is cramped with little parking for you when you arrive. The sales team is constantly running out to move cars around. In the future, I will not look to purchase another Subaru from this dealership. It lacked the top-tier professionalism I've found at every other Subaru dealership I have ever been to across the country. Maybe when they move, things will improve, but for now I cannot recommend them to another Subaru buyer. If you want an easy Subaru buying experience, call Sangera Subaru in Bakersfield CA. They don't do sales tactics, they are super professional, they will show you everything and help you set up your new Subaru before you leave the lot. I would have purchased from them again if the drive home wasn't cost prohibitive. More

My lease was ending and I wanted to take my next step. Rafay was professional and worked with me through a misunderstanding that took me by surprise. Both he and Jeff wanted to make sure they did right Rafay was professional and worked with me through a misunderstanding that took me by surprise. Both he and Jeff wanted to make sure they did right by me given the situation, and I appreciate the transparency. I love the Forester I leased and I love the Forester I am now financing More
