Good Subaru dealers - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

lionbacker54 · 05-22-2013, 12:33 PM

I wanted to start a thread about good Subaru dealer experiences, so that people can see who to go to. I had a great experience with Yark Subaru in Toledo OH. Good guys, patient, and they themselves are gear heads who track and autocross their cars. They were very patient with me as I vacilated between the BRZ and the WRX, between Premium and Limited Trim, and between CBS and WRB. In the end, I decided on WRB Limited BRZ, but there were none in the area or even in the state. They ended up contacting a dealer in Indiana who was scheduled to receive such a car in a month, and arranged for it to be redirected to Toledo instead. They also agreed not to drill my front bumper for license plate holders (which are required in OH but I will use the Perrin aftermarket holder through the tow hook), and not to put any dealer decals or logos on the car. And, they did it all for 2% under MSRP. Great experience. When the 2014 WRX comes out, if it looks anything like the concept cars, I will buy that from them too. Ask for Dave Boehm (manager), Steve Shenefield (salesman) or Kevin Oberhaus (salesman). All were great.

I've had many good interactions with Flatirons Subaru in Boulder, CO. I bought my 2007 Outback there (new), and a friend just bought a 2013 WRX from them as well, and neither of us has any complaints.

I had a good experience with Planet Subaru in Hanover, MA. Paid sticker for my limited there cause they didn't include a bunch of mandatory add-ons and offered it for a good price. They were very helpful and nice to do business with.

Yeah, this is a great idea that would be better implemented on a regional basis.

I second this review of Yark.... Great customer service and very pleasant to deal with. I would recommend them to anybody, and would certainly go back myself.

Bought a SWP BRZ Limited from Ganley Subaru East of Wickliffe, Ohio. As a first time car buyer, I couldn't be any more pleased with the 2 weeks I worked with the guys there! Plus I got mine for invoice price right off the bat! No haggling or anything! What a deal!
