Indoor Side panel repair
by 12/12/2023
onWe had both of our indoor side panels near our front windshield coming off. The service department at Timmons was able to order the clips for the side panels. The ordering process and scheduling to get the panels fixed were seamless. However, the interior panels were replaced and left with fingerprint smudges. Overall, the work order was all taken care of in a timely manner. It helped that all parts were still under warranty. As for the smudges, hopefully a little soap and water will do the trick.

I'll Drive Far for Quality, Respectful Service
by 07/11/2023
onAs I indicated to the Service Engineers, I live far from Long Beach, but I will fight through the L.A. traffic rather than take a chance at a new place. They've been taking care of my car's needs efficiently and respectfully. I didn't give them a 5 Star Rating because I didn't get a return phone call the previous day, when I was trying to book an appointment.

Second purchase with Timmons
by 12/28/2022
onThis was my second purchase with Timmons and I’m glad I returned. Jeff Sollee was amazing from start to finish, and RC and Mario also provided the best experience. Shopping for a new car can be stressful, but I never felt pressured with Jeff. He was straightforward and easy going. Timmons has a solid team, I would highly recommend Timmons to anyone in the market for a Subaru.

SELLER BEWARE
by 05/11/2019
onTimmons gave me a written quote to purchase my car for $1,975. They stated the quote was good for 7 days. They were very cordial. Five days later, I returned to sell my car. They refused to buy my car for the quote price, indicating that mechanical issues caused them to change their quote. When I asked what issues, they would not provide any specifics. They became very cold and told me they did not need my car and I could take their offer or walk away. Yikes. Naturally, I was not happy and told them so. They then kept me waiting 2.5 hours before the paperwork (2 pages) was ready to sign. They told me I had to wait in their waiting area or run the risk that it would take longer for the paperwork to be completed. I am a senior citizen and feel like this felt like they would easily take advantage of me. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS OUTFIT. THEY ARE NOT ETHICAL.

Timmons Subaru Service
by 01/13/2018
onMy experience with Timmons Subaru service of my 2008 Subaru Outback took five diagnostic checks over a period of three weeks from DEC 2017 to JAN 2018 to resolve a problem. The automobile was completely out of service during the three week period. The service was excessively time consuming, overly costly and was ultimately solved by Subaru Tech Line NOT by the Timmons Subaru mechanics. In addition, sensors and parts were replaced which when tested independently proved NOT to be faulty.

THIS DEALERSHIP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT COMBAT VETERANS!
by 01/03/2016
onWorst experience in my 25 plus years of serving our great country. THIS DEALERSHIP DOES NOT CARE ABOUT COMBAT VETERANS. Their website depicts treatment for HEROES (Military, Police, Fire, Education) At Timmons Subaru, we believe that the brave men and women who make a difference deserve just a little bit more. However, this is by far false advertising, the salesperson Mitch spoke to me in detail about the service to our country, and terrorism, giving me the impression he was going to go assist me the best he can in order to try and purchase and or lease a vehicle, yet we spoke once on the phone (31 Dec 15), he told me he would call me back and when I asked if the news was good or bad, he related good, yet, he never returned my call. I made an attempt to call him on 1 Jan 16, in regards to a vehicle, left a detailed message, and he never returned my call, nor an e-mail I sent. I then called and left a message to a sales manager named April, left her a detailed message as well, and never received a call back. I then called on 2 Jan 15, and asked to speak to a General Manager, the reception then asked me what department...I then paused for a moment, and repeated myself, she was lost, she told me a business manager would be in on Monday, I then paused again, shaking my head. I then asked how about a sales manager, she transferred me to an individual who did not give have a name listed on his recording machine, another detailed message left, and again no call back. I just do not understand as to why nobody returned my calls, or followed up with me in regards to the sale or lease of a vehicle, negative news should be treated the same as positive, communicated immediately. I highly do not recommend this dealership. After deploying and fighting for our country in two separate wars, the least someone could do is acknowledge me and return my calls.

Great buying experience!
by 05/04/2015
onI bought a 2015 Outback about a month ago and am very happy about it. Very solid SUV. I was able to get an appointment at night, 8pm. And was delayed 30 minutes due to another dealership. The salesperson (Russell) still waited for me and the car was clean and ready when we got there. I was even amazed that a finance manager was waiting also. I thought they would sell something and assume I would not get a car that night, but I was wrong. They were very pleasant, and patient with me. they never rushed me or anything that's why I would recommend this dealership and Russell (salesperson). After the deal was done (signed the paperwork for financing) and it was very late at night already, Russell still took his time in discussing all the parts, accessories, and functionalities of the car. I have already told my friends and family about it. Bottom line is I love the car, loved the purchase experience too.

2 Words "False Hopes"
by 02/16/2015
onI am appalled Timmons Subaru of Long Beach has a 4 star rating. All I have to say is DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING A CAR AT TIMMONS. I honestly believe Timmon's uses price gouging tactics. They list the used vehicles at a hyper inflated rate and try to rip you off. The dealer list one of the used vehicle for around $25,995 while TRUECar has that same vehicle brand new for $26,776. KBB has the used vehicle for Sell to a Private Party @ $23,747 and they want to sell me the used car for almost the same cost as the new one. Deal [non-permissible content removed]. I WOULD AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST, and save your money and time for another dealer that will actually give you a real deal. It is a shame Timmons wants to be greedy, or we could have made a deal. I do not write reviews, but I was so disappointed at this place that other people need to be aware. They will say anything to get you in and give false hopes at the end. I wish I could add photos for proof of sources. If your curious the vehicle was for a Used Subaru Forester XT Premium and the figures are current numbers from TRUECar, KBB, and Timmons Site as of February 15, 2015.

Above and beyond expectations
by 06/15/2014
onThis is actually my second review. I was so happy with our experience that I felt compelled to write directly to the dealership to express satisfaction. We were contacted by Russell C. after requesting a quote from the edmunds website. Russell was professional, knowledgeable, and went far beyond the call of duty to accommodate us. Throughout the whole process (which was lightening fast and easy) we felt important and well taken care of. I can't imagine a better experience. Wait...we could have been served champagne and strawberries....

Great Experience
by 04/14/2011
onAfter a long weekend of being jerked around by different dealerships, I was thrilled at the level of attention and service I received at Timmons Subaru in Long Beach. I got the car from Gary Colfack, who was such a joy to buy from. He answered all of my questions honestly, was kind and courteous, and made the entire experience (usually emotionally wraught) a real pleasure. I will definitely be recommending Gary and Timmons Subaru to anyone I know looking to buy a new car!

Great price, and sales people
by 02/21/2011
onMy uncle and cousins had made all their Subaru and VW purchases from this dealership, so I stopped in to take a look since they were like 3 miles from my house. My salesperson Russell Csonka was very friendly and their wasn't that any pressure to buy from him. He and his manager Mitch Atkins gave me a very comparable price from the best online quote I got, and they even got me the color I wanted by swapping with anohter dealer. Hardly any haggling or hassling on the price. I went in the next day when the car came in, and everything was set. Price was what we had agreed upon, no hassles, just signed, and got my new car. Also with the great price, he threw in the floor mats as an added bonus. I also thought I would mention Cy since one of the reviewer kind of gave him a bad review. He was also very nice, and he did try to sell me a lot of options to add in, but that's just his job. That's just normal and comes with buying a new car. No big deal. Once I decided what I wanted he took care of it with no hassles.

WRX SUBY
by 10/14/2010
onBought my 3rd WRX from Timmons last month. The WRX is a amazing car as any car lover knows. Cant beat the price for this type of performance. The staff at Timmons is great. I've worked with 2 different sales people and they both were knowledgeable. The service dept is awesome. Super easy in and out when I go for service. I like the straight to the point experience and thats what I got. So in short its a pretty cool place as far as car dealers go.
