I've dealt with North Park Subaru when I was looking at a WRX last year. Long story short...dealership is small, dumpy and staffed with your typical sales staff that doesn't have any clue about the details on the cars they sell.
Wound up buying my BRZ from Gillman. I liked my sales guy, the finance guy was super cool and made the experience calm and pleasant. I liked the buying process. No pressure and every question answered the way I wanted. Never dealt with Georgetown. |

I got mine from Subaru of George Town. Their service is excellent and their staff pleasant. They have several certified BRZ techs there, I have met them and let me say they are very enthusiastic. Several of the employees own BRZ's and regularly come to COBB 1st Thursday events. They are mod friendly, I have had no issues and have done a few things. I personally wouldn't take my car anywhere else for any service. Ironically enough, one of the sales men used to race in NASA back in Ohio. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.

Service is good @ Gillman Subaru. Sales I am not sure. I bought my BRZ from Shortline Subaru in Denver, Colorado. Got it below invoice fresh off the boat.

Glad to hear someone vouch for their service section. I just completed my break in and need to head in for an oil change and to have them register the "chirping" TSB that hit me right around 850 miles.

How many miles you got? I am at about 5400 miles...going to get close to 7000 and get my first oil change at Gillman Subaru. I went in there to get my state inspection since I bought my car out of state. They were good people. Plus it was not a busy place. I remember going into North Park Subaru and trying to order up a BRZ or get one of their 10 incoming ones back in January, and they wanted to charge me $2000 over sticker even for a ordered one. So I found a brand new one at Shortline Subaru in Denver, and got it less than invoice. If anybody is looking to buy these cars, look far out of state to the north. Shipping was only $500. Oh and go to Jaysdetail to get it all looking pretty. |

This is true. I've read where folks are aware of the TSB but lack the confidence that swapping the pump has yielded results for others so far. I think I'll fall into the camp that is waiting to see if the fix actions in the TSB prove to be permanent for others before I brother with letting them swap stuff out.

Still trying to decide if I should take advantage of the free oil changes or do it myself. Just sounds like a waste of money to say no to free oil, but I've never let anyone else do my oil before and I don't trust strangers with my car!! Decisions decisions... |
