Hmm C&C rated well by TSC?


Are these ratings service or sales?

I need to choose a subie dealer and its between Peterborough and C&C atm. Buying the car from Barrie and certainly not driving all the way there for every service.

C&C is a great dealership, I personally haven't bought anything there but have taken many non-subaru's there for service. They always treat me as if I had bought the car there regardless of what I am getting serviced.



My Buying experience from Whitby Toyota was a positive one though I don't have any stories about ordering it and waiting 6 months to get it. I walked in, they had the exact car I wanted and I bought it the next day. two days later it was ready to go.

Sales guy wasn't pushy, finance guy was easy to deal with. havn't had it in for service yet, as I only got it late last year and it's put away for the winter.

Although I need to get it home soon, as my mountain of parts is slowly taking over my garage and need to be installed.

Both? I only deal with the sales and service managers, though, the Service Advisors are nice too.
I live DT now, and still bring it to whitby to service my fozzy!~

Ended up driving a manual one at Weitzes, and bought from them. The process was easy with zero pressure, car was delivered earlier than promised as well. ~12km's on the car when picked up in perfect shape. Service has been easy as well, already done my second oil change and no issues at all.

Trying to remember...did you get yours with the very first shipment? When I picked mine up as Weitzes there was another black one which actually ended up going out a day out before mine.

Don't think so. Mine is Asphalt, not Raven, and was delivered July 16th. It came off the truck July 10th but my wedding was the 14th and I had too much running around to do the last couple days before to take delivery.

Oops not even close. Never mind.

So I was the second unit to be delivered at Weitzes.

Sales,'simple no complications. PASS

Service, decent but didn't know about any widespread issues such as fuel pump crickets. Will see if they comment on my exhaust and catch can next service.
So far PASS

[MILTON SCION] - Rating 7.5/10

Sales Service:
The guy I got it through was Bob Taylor (he is a great guy). He will honor any requests you make such as no bumper drilling and so forth, no hassle either as I spoke to him and told him I want to pre-order and got my car June 13, 2012. I was the first person to get the car from that dealership, everything was very good he didn't try to sell me anything (except the car) very straight forward and no mark up either. Got me some free oil change visits and so forth and tried to hook me up as much as he can when I kept asking for more.

Dealership Service in General:
So far everyone there seems friendly, regardless of who you are (mind you I came in once and looked like a homeless person, since I just woke up and I was off work to go pick up my FR-S) if you are on the floor and unattended someone will approach you to ask if you need assistance even the receptionist will try and get you someone. They are more than happy to service people also they like to build up on their customers as a community, I had one of the other managers out of no where while I was waiting for an oil change ask me if I can talk to another FR-S owner about tips for first things to do with the car like opti-coat, clear bra, etc since he was apparently at a loss.

Automotive Services:
So far I've done the following;
- First oil change, since it was free at their expense
- Drivers side rubber seal issue where it would get caught every time the window rolled up
- Second oil change, as it was free yet again
- Tail light condensation, so far they replaced the tail lights as I showed them a video of when it happened from my phone since I figured they wouldn't be able to replicate it and they took that as proof.

So far all four visits have been pleasant, they took good care of me and told me everything that was going on the waiting area was well organized and I can book appointments online as well. After my first oil change the service technician gave me an entire list of preventive maintenance schedules up until 175,000kms along with the printed costs which I thought was pretty neat.


[THE CONS]
- PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, opt-out of the complimentary car wash. I don't know what they do with it but it definitely is worse than any two bucket method I have ever seen. I personally don't want them cleaning my car as there is marks on the car now at certain angles and I have a Raven so its just that much more noticeable.
- The parts guy is average, I asked about winter tire options and wheel sizes with the tires they had in stock also asked about touch up paint. He was just meh, slightly helpful but just enough to make it seem not so 50/50 for him.

Anyone with any Hamilton/Burlington dealer experiences? Yeah I know that's pushing the GTA boundary a bit

Uhhh, the first oil change is 8000km's or 6 months. Did they tell you to come in at 3 months??

I hit 8k in about 3 months, and am over 17k now but if you're still under 8k don't even think about going in at 3 months. The Subaru oil change interval is 10k so 8k is super conservative.

For the people who got their scion from don valley north toyota, how long did it take for you to get it? My guy estimated 1-2 months, but I feel like its kinda sketchy... Any help would be appreciated

I went to Aurora Toyota and me being a bit younger (22 y/o) I was ignored by everyone; receptionist, sales (all of them) and the manager. I spent 30 min walking around looking at the car when I finally got impatient and asked for assistance/ a test drive. I was told they do not let people test drive the car :/ . I wasn't taken seriously until I told them that I was going to buy the car today.

[raphy]

hey the wait times 2-3 months are normal Scion keeps all their cars in the same compound a little different from Toyota where their cars are allocated to the dealers so if they say they don't have the the one car you want option(s) colours, ect. They will have to have one built and sent in for you.
