Bay Area Subaru Dealer Experiences? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

MADANT15 · 12-05-2011, 03:32 PM

I am fairly set on buying a BRZ around August or September and was wondering what dealers you guys would recommend dealing with in the bay area (particularly South Bay)? Experiences with sales and service departments are welcome.:happy0180:

IIRC, Santa Cruz is the one to go to if you are in the South Bay.

The entire sub forum is about California. I was asking a more specific question than is being discussed in that thread, hence the reason I created a new thread.

Helped a friend buy a WRX at Santa Cruz Subaru a few years ago, pretty painless. I called them and their Internet guy wasn't around, whoever picked up the phone was clueless.

Carlsen Subaru used to be pretty good, but I also ran into a few brainless sales guys who had never even heard of the BRZ.

I'm working on a deal with Stevens Creek Subaru for serious buyers with cash or financing in hand. More details to come in ~3 months.

Cheers,
Hong

Santa Cruz Subaru is the place to go!!

A preferred choice for BAIC and I-Club members

Good to know. I would love to get in on this but I won't be buying until around August/September.

Capitol Subaru in South Bay, best dealership in the area. Quick servicing, a little on the sales-ey side but they aren't mean. I've read the same about Santa Cruz but that's seriously a pain in the ass to drive to if you live in San Jose area.

Anyone have experiences with dealers closer to SF?

Tried to call around in the east bay but didn't really get much help. Finally called Livermore Subaru and they were pretty helpful.
