My review pertains strictly to new car sales – I have not experienced other departments. I worked with Dee and Ryan to purchase a Crosstrek Wilderness.
I'm usually the last person that would write a review for a car dealership, much less a positive one. These guys are absolutely unreal. They had the exact model/trim/equipment/color I wanted despite it barely being available in my state. Their price for the car was lower, and value for my trade-in higher, than dealers local to me such that my out-the-door price after all fees and such was thousands less than if I purchased a color I didn't want nearby.
Car dealers often present well on the phone but surprise you when you actually show up – I didn't experience that here. Everything as agreed to ahead of time, no haggling or upsells. No waiting for a manager for hours. Car was nicely detailed.
They handled all the paperwork and put plates from my (nearby) state on the car for me to drive away in that day. Great, fast wifi if you need to work or even hop on a meeting while you wait for the registration to go through.
I forgot something in my trade-in car; they mailed it to me! As if I hadn't had a great enough experience already, I received a check in the mail from this dealership a few weeks after purchase for a small amount overpaid (I'm sure unintentionally) on registration fees.
For me, this is head and shoulders above what I've experienced from other car dealers. Many of them were not necessarily bad, but Bertera of West Springfield really stands out as positive. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase my next Subaru here, or recommend to friends (though I would recommend the same individuals I worked with, because people do differ).
I came for the fair price, but I write this review because of my excellent experience. Thanks Dee and Ryan, all the best to you and yours!
