I might take them up on that since the car I bought has lots of features. More

When they realized there was more to my situation than just getting out of a lease, they contacted Subaru and asked for more credit towards a new vehicle, and they were successful in this. They were professional and helpful in a tough situation, proving they are always willing to go the distance for the customer. More

Easy Deal I was looking for a new vehicle to replace my 2004 Forrester. I wanted a Subaru but a different model. As I walked in the door there was Jason Jarke I was looking for a new vehicle to replace my 2004 Forrester. I wanted a Subaru but a different model. As I walked in the door there was Jason Jarkes. He listened to what I was looking for described the different models and what they had to offer. I went home to think about it and when I came back, I chose the Crosstrek. Jason made the entire process simple. He was very knowledgeable about the big things as well as the small. I have been a customer of Premier Subaru for 12 years and haven't been disappointed yet.

Dedicated Employees I know shopping for a car is tough, especially when it's your first (my case). Loan approvals, credit check, time, etc.. Well long story short after t I know shopping for a car is tough, especially when it's your first (my case). Loan approvals, credit check, time, etc.. Well long story short after the entire process, I bought the car I wanted at Premier Subaru. To begin with, Eloise Fullington did an amazing job in Sales following up with me and making sure that everything on her end and my end were up to par. Later, after the vehicle was all ready and set, Rob Weljkovic the Financial Services Manager did outstanding job in handling the purchase. The signing went by very quick and Rob explained everything very descriptively and answered any questions that arose in the process. Soon after the signing was complete, it led to having a nice talk with the Quality Control Manager, Joe Zerbo, in assuring me that if I still had questions to contact him and ask away. By far, as a drove home I felt that this was best experience I've received. And I assure others that when if you are to choose Premier at Brandford CT, you won't go wrong with your decision. Thank you Premier Subaru Team and Robert Alvine! Also, a great thanks to the employees that worked behind the scenes, your work will not go unrecognized. More

Looking for a reliable car for a good price. We came to Premier on Saturday August 27 and wanted to browse the lot and actually see the car we would be interested in, not just buy from an online We came to Premier on Saturday August 27 and wanted to browse the lot and actually see the car we would be interested in, not just buy from an online picture. Ted came out to answer any questions we had. He got the keys to the car we were looking at and started it up and explained everything about. He asked if could possibly discuss taking that car home. Being the skeptic I said sure. We talked inside and Mr Alvine came by and spoke to us. It worked out the numbers worked and we had a deal. Everyone there was very nice and helpful. Rodney is a nice guy, he gave my Grandson Myles a $1,000,000 bill when we picked up the car. David came out to see us wish us good luck with the new Outback. An outstanding dealership to do business with . There was no high pressure hype we felt like part of the family. More
