  • Positive Costco Purchase of 2025 Forester

    5 out of 5 starsby Diane C on 07/27/2024

    Everyone at AutoNation was helpful and pleasant. All our questions were answered patiently and respectfully, despite our age-related technophobia regarding the vehicle's many computerized assets. We wish we lived close enough to AutoNation to use your service department, but alas, we're an hour away.
  • Comments On Sales Transaction

    4 out of 5 starsby EdProvider on 04/25/2024

    Overall, sales service was good. Everyone was courteous, helpful, & thorough. However, when we picked up our '21 Subaru Crosstrek, the interior was not detailed. We bought our son's leased car and had to pick-up the following week so the Service Dept can inspect.
  • Sales Manager was rude

    1 out of 5 starsby Anonymous on 04/13/2024

    Went in to get numbers for a Crosstrek last week, one of Sales Managers told the sales consultant that I was waste of time due to not having good enough credit. Someone else helped us and drove off the lot with a new vehicle.
    • Hello, we regret your experience with us here, but are glad you brought this to our attention. If you'd like, please contact our General Manager at (760) 678-6834. We'd appreciate the chance to make your experience a positive one.

    We had an excellent car buying experience at Autonation Subaru Carlsbad! All of the people we interacted with were friendly and provided great customer service, especially our salesman, Jason! We drove further than our closest Subaru dealership because of the service! We appreciate the help and the ease of buying our first Subaru. We would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a new car!

  • Wonderful experience!

    5 out of 5 starsby Jessica Ortega on 02/15/2024

    We live in Los Angeles and drove down to the Carlsbad Subaru dealership because they were the only ones that had the color car we wanted. We had a delightful experience. Yuri was lovely, patient, answered all of our questions. I’ve never had such an easy experience buying a new car. The follow up that they do is great as well. I feel like any questions I have about the technology of the car etc will be answered. We absolutely LOVE the car, my whole family. It’s comfortable, drives smoothly, we love the stereo and all the great features of the car..very very happy we got it!
    • Hello Jessica, we set high expectations for ourselves so it’s gratifying to hear you had a great experience with us. We're always here to provide exceptional service at a great value -- we hope you'll consider us again in the future!

  • Honest, no haggle dealer and low prices

    5 out of 5 starsby Renata on 01/19/2024

    I was in the market for a new car, and this dealership had the lowest price within 75 miles (I emailed all the dealerships in the area, even quoting the price to see if they would match). When I got there, I was greeted by 2 friendly salespeople. Luis helped us out and was quick and professional. Bonus: the car only had 10 miles on it when we drove it off the lot! I test drive a car at another dealership with 60 miles!
    • Hi Renata, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Don't hesitate to call us if you ever need anything. Be safe on the road!

  • great customer service

    5 out of 5 starsby Erika 88 on 01/05/2024

    We were looking online to lease a vehicle and saw an add for Subaru. We contacted Subaru in Carlsbad. The customer service provided by our sales representative Tony was excellent. Tony explained the process of the lease patiently and and even went over some features the vehicle had. If you are looking to lease or purchase a vehicle I recommend Subaru in Carlsbad and don't forget to ask for Tony. Thank you Tony we love our car.

  • 2nd chance

    4 out of 5 starsby Ling318 on 12/17/2023

    My first visit at the dealership was a disaster but it was saved by Rob(sales manager) and convinced us to come back and he hooked us up with Sean, a very young salesman but very driven, polite and knows his product. We did not even ask for the price because he showed us everything we needed to know.It was a complete 360 degrees change of how he handled the sales and finally got our first Subaru. We’re loving it. ❤️

  • Loving My First Subaru

    5 out of 5 starsby Katie D on 11/11/2023

    I had been looking for the perfect Subaru for a long time. My salesperson Jill had me test drive the new Crosstrek Wilderness that fit all my needs. When it wasn't the color I wanted, we drove around their back lot and found one waiting to be prepped in a color I had never seen before. I loved it. Came back & purchased next day without any hassles. The entire staff was amazing, respectful and helpful. Great experience overall!

    I’m pleased with my experience with my new purchase 2024 crosstrek limited. This is my third transaction with my salesperson Jason Field( formerly Bob Baker) now Auto Nation. Moving forward, I hope my new dealer has the same standards I’m used to. I have no reason to expect anything less.
