Another positive experience at Premier Subaru I recently purchased a new 2019 Outback from Premier Subaru.

I chose them because I had my 2016 Subaru serviced by them and they had consistently performed quality work in a professional manner treating me very well in the process. They are honest, explained all options clearly in terms of required and optional maintenance and always completer the work in the timeframe specified. So when I decided to gift my 2016 to my son and his growing family I thought Premier would be an interesting excellent dealiership to buy a replacement. I was correct and their pricing and support during the sales process was outstanding. Thanks to Von and the sales team at Premier for their quality and professional service. More

Awesome Sales People The people that work there are honestly there to help you.They aren't out there to get you and honestly want to put you into a car that is best for yo The people that work there are honestly there to help you.They aren't out there to get you and honestly want to put you into a car that is best for you. My experience there was amazing but then I met the owner and he is full of himself and can't stop talking about himself.Stay away from Bob as he is a blow hard and fake in every way you look at it. His staff though is great and as long as you don't mind giving money to a narcissist get a car from here. More

I have been waiting f I preordered my 2019 Subaru Ascent from Premier Subaru and I am so glad that I did! They kept me in the loop about it’s arrival. I have been waiting for Subaru to make a larger SUV that would accommodate my family. They sure delivered with this vehicle! I was able to come see and drive the car on Saturday and pick it up on Tuesday. Everyone I dealt with made the whole process seamless. From the sales staff to the business office staff even the the president himself, Robert Alvine, were a pleasure to deal with during the transaction. They were all very professional and treated me more than fairly! I would highly recommend this dealership! Buying a car can be stressful and sometimes exhausting, but I can honestly say that I had a wonderful experience. Thanks to all of you at Premier Subaru! More

A dealership that values you and your business. I was looking for a used car for my college-age son, something dependable and not really expensive. The dealer had a few on the lot and one undergoing I was looking for a used car for my college-age son, something dependable and not really expensive. The dealer had a few on the lot and one undergoing 'clean-up' before being put on the lot. I waited a few days and when I didn't see any new info about the one being cleaned up, I sent an email to the owner of the dealership. He answered me the same evening. We had a few emails back and forth, discussing different vehicles, different maintenance concerns, and financial issues. The 'clean-up' vehicle was finally put on the lot and I took it for a good test drive- acceleration, braking, alignment, noise-rattles, fit and finish, etc. Everything worked as it was supposed to. The price was good and they gave me more for my trade-in than other dealers had offered. I bought the car and drove it home the next day. I contacted the owner/CEO one last time and told him of my experience, the good things and the less-than-perfect things. He explained everything in detail- so much so that I was confident I got a very decent deal on the vehicle. Now the owner runs several dealerships and heaven knows he must have more important things to do than spend time answering my lengthy emails- but he did. I'm confident I got a good deal on a good car and I didn't need to spend $30,000 to do it. If this owner treats a less-than-$10,000 customer with such care, I believe he treats everyone with such care. My next car will also be from Premier. I think that's the best recommendation I can give. More
