Recommended Subaru Dealership In Socal?? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

yip · 10-04-2016, 12:39 AM

Looking to order a new BRZ and wondering if anyone can refer me to somewhere they've had good dealings and experience with?

Located near L.A. but willing to drive a couple of hours if needed!

I've heard nothing but good from Subaru out in Torrance. I can vouch though do yourself a favor and stay away from Renick, Puente Hills and Glendale.

In all honesty though I think the best thing to do is to learn how much our cars are worth. IF you know how much to pay, then you don't have to fall for a good/bad dealership as you will be paying what you're supposed to. Who knows, maybe you'll find a good used one like I did for a fraction of the cost because the dealership that's selling the car knows less about it than you do.

Oh I second that idea but I was saying stay clear because you don't want to have to rely on these people to save you in times of need. I speak from personal experience.

Stay far away from Glendale Subaru. I had a friend who worked there and they treated customer cars like trash, weather its in for service or you just bought it and their filling up gas before you take off. Some of the porters can barely even drive stick and they essentially 'learn' on customer cars.

got my twin at Subaru in Torrance. Great experience overall

I got my BRZ from Renick over in Fullerton, only have had good experiences there. Got my 2016 for 24k from there.

Thanks everyone for your input! I'm in talks with the Pacific Subaru in Torrance. I'll report back after my purchase.

Thanks again

Yep a premium! Bargained with the dealer to get the limited spoiler installed for around 50$ more. I don't have the detailed OTD but I would say around 26/27K OTD.

South Coast Subaru in Costa Mesa just closed, not surprised. They were bought out by Mckenna and are now "Mckenna Subaru" in Huntington Beach. They just opened within the last few weeks, I'd give them a call to see if they're open to getting you a deal since they're new.

I had a pretty good experience with the dealer in irvine when i got mine. I would recommend them.
