TEN STAR REVIEW

5 out of 5 starsby Moore Coffee on 07/16/2025

Thank you Robert in sales and Greg in finance. Great service! I have been a Prius owner since 2008 and Robert sold me my first Prius in 2008. With 1.9% finance now was the time for me to check out Subaru Outback. Family and friends have raved about Subaru for years. Thanks again to the staff at Kirby. Cheers, gm

  • Smooth Buying Experience Despite Social Distancing Restrictions

    5 out of 5 starsby ReveAnn Ellrott on 04/07/2020

    I just bought my new car from Kirby Suburu of Ventura and the sale went off without a hitch with assistance from my able salesman Jim Read. They answered my inquiry promptly and gave me a great deal. They didn't have the exact color I want but they were able to bring it in same day. Most of the paperwork was able to be done online, limiting the time I needed to spend at the dealership. Jim had the car sanitized and ready to go when I arrived to pick it up. He then pulled up another car near mine where he was able to walk me through all the features from a safe social distance. I was able to leave the dealership with a thorough knowledge of all the features and how they work. I love my new Blue Abyss Ascent and would recommend the dealership to anyone looking for a new car.
  • Friendly and personal service

    5 out of 5 starsby SubaruNonnie on 03/19/2020

    I would highly recommend Kirby Subaru for any future car purchases. We purchased two different vehicles within 3 months and both times it was the best car buying experience. We dealt with two different internet sales individuals and they were both a pleasure to work with. They worked hard to provide us with a price we were happy with and to keep our business local. Definitely stop in and give them a chance to earn your business!
  • Very Nice

    5 out of 5 starsby Very Nice Place to do Business on 03/17/2020

    I was very pleased with my experience at Kirby Subaru. Jordan was very helpful and understanding when the timing of my purchased changed. I highly recommend this dealership.
  • First Time Car Purchase - Great Experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Evan on 03/11/2020

    This was my first time ever buying a car. Everyone at Kirby Subaru was helpful from the receptionist to the salesmen to the finance department. Everyone was smiling, and it just felt like a comfortable place. Jim Read was a great person to work with. He was so helpful and incredibly knowledgeable on the cars. He gave practical advice and has stayed in contact to ensure everything has been great. I drove from Bakersfield to Venture to pick up my Outback, and I would happily make the trip again to visit Kirby Subaru!
  • Great Expierience at Kirby Subaru!

    5 out of 5 starsby Danny on 02/22/2020

    Just purchased a 2020 Subaru Forester at Kirby Subaru and it was the best car buying experience I've ever had! The salesman, Jim Read, was excellent - very personable and low key with no strong sales pressure at any time. Jim actually went well beyond any previous car salesman I've had by being so generous with both his time and his helpfulness. The Kirby staff even helped resolve a unique issue regarding my trade-in car, so the entire financial paperwork process went extremely smoothly. Both the Forester itself and the Kirby Subaru dealership certainly deserve their 5-star ratings. Thus, I will be recommending them to my friends and family.
  • Excellent Customer Service

    5 out of 5 starsby Happy Customer on 02/16/2020

    We had a wonderful experience buying a new 2020 Subaru Ascent at Kirby Subaru with Bill Moeschler! My husband and I felt our needs were listened to and met. Bill took the time to get to know us and we felt that he was looking out for our best interest all throughout the process. Buying a car can be stressful, but this experience was anything but! Thank you Bill, and team, for the quality service you provide, along with a pleasant car buying experience. We will definitely come back to Kirby Subaru in the future for our next car and Bill is our guy!
  • Best purchasing experience ever

    5 out of 5 starsby CC on 02/08/2020

    Robert Papandrea at Kirby Subaru in Ventura is the best car sales person my husband and I have ever worked with - he was fast but didn't rush us, clear and concise, and genuinely friendly. We would absolutely purchase from him again in the future.
  • professional staff, great experience

    5 out of 5 starsby CJWA805 on 01/29/2020

    I don't often leave reviews. Especially for car dealers. But I had to take a moment to leave a review for the excellent experience I had at Kirby Subaru during my recent vehicle acquisition. My sales person Erik was professional, he definitely wanted the sale but didn't go over the top and pressure me. He kept me updated during the process often. He also helped me get my rental car back to the rental place. John the sales manager was also a huge help! He made the effort to trade with another dealer to get the car I wanted. John also checked for loyalty money from Subaru and any credits I might be able to use. Lastly Val in Finance was curious, friendly, low pressure and quick. And Chris from the detail dept. came out and wiped some leftover gunk off of my new Subaru. I have to say in the ~30 years and 70+ vehicles I have owned for my personal and business use this dealer is in the top few as a great overall experience. I will tell friends and I hope to do business again in the future.
  • Transparent and straightforward

    5 out of 5 starsby Klutter Kutter on 01/28/2020

    I was in my last year of a 3 year lease. I was happy. But The Sales team showed me wonderful options for upping my lease to a new 2020. My payments stayed the same and all I had to cover was a small $ down. The car is beautiful and The team was lovely to work with. I would recommend subaru to everyone. But I also felt completely respected and valued by Bob and Joey and Brian. The entire staff really. Thank you!
  • Excellent in every way

    5 out of 5 starsby emfamily on 01/28/2020

    After our Volvo gave up the ghost on New Year's Eve, it seemed like a no-brainer to look at a Subaru to continue the next chapter. We were interested in the Crosstrek Limited in cool gray khaki (of course). No dealers had this color in stock but a few expected delivery at the end of the month. However, only Kirby Subaru was willing to work with us on a more reasonable deal, so we ended up making a deposit (all done by phone and email) in advance. Jim Read took care of us and we were so at ease with him from the beginning that making such a big decision and trusting someone we've never met until pickup day didn't seem to matter. The car was worth the wait, and meeting Jim was even more so. He simply went above and beyond, and left such a great impression. Below is the little thank you note we sent him. "Hi Jim, Thank you SO much again for all your wonderful help! It was the best experience our family had in our collective years of car ownership. We appreciate your time, patience and guidance throughout the whole process. Everything was seamless, which was beyond any of our expectations. Thanks for making it special for all of us! Val was such a joy to work with too. We’re so grateful for you both. And we will absolutely and happily recommend your dealership to friends and family. Thanks again!"
  • Friendly and Transparent

    5 out of 5 starsby Travis on 01/25/2020

    The whole staff at Ventura Kirby Subaru was more than helpful. Eric, Jerry, and Howard were all very kind and easy to work with through the whole experience. I will continue to buy my Subaru’s from Kirby Auto Group!
  • 2020 Subaru Ascent

    Very easy sales experience, no haggle pricing. Completely satisfied.
  • 2020 Crosstrek Hybrid

    5 out of 5 starsby 2020 Crosstrek Hybrid on 01/21/2020

    Our Salesman, Scotty was truly awesome. He helped us every step of the way, was knowledgable about the car, and gave us a great deal. He made the process easy and I'm grateful for his help.
  • Incredible customer service! Transparent & Honest! Great AWD vehicles!

    5 out of 5 starsby Ray on 01/13/2020

    Incredible customer service! Great AWD vehicles & deals! I was helped by Francisco Vazquez who was knowledgeable, transparent, honest, patient and clear about my options. He went above and beyond to have a used Subaru Crosstrek inspected and detailed within 24 hours. He answered all my questions and was helpful as I inspected the entire vehicle. This is a family owned business where the customer comes first. I took an Uber from Los Angeles to Ventura because it beat any deal in Los Angeles. Val in the finance department was great! She was informative without being pushy to get me a financing package I was comfortable with. You will feel energized instead of drained after you leave the dealership, which is the opposite of most car buying experiences. I would recommend Kirby Subaru to my family & friends!
  • Got an Outback

    5 out of 5 starsby Kevin on 01/11/2020

    This dealership did an awesome job giving a great service and a good deal on a new outback. we shopped around but by far this dealership did the best job in terms of customer experience. because of that while the price was a little higher than other dealers for the same car, we bought ours from here. also our salesman Austin was a cool guy to work with, very relaxed low pressure sales so we felt comfortable taking time to make a decision.
  • Excellent Customer Service

    5 out of 5 starsby LSC on 01/07/2020

    We were shopping around for an SUV with third row seating, and had test driven almost everything in the class. We stopped in at Kirby Subaru for a test drive of the Ascent. Our sales rep, Austin, was by far the best we had encountered at any of the dealerships, and was one of the reasons we purchased from Kirby instead of local Subaru dealer. Overall we had a great experience at Kirby, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

  • Dealing with Kriby Subaru

    updated 01/06/2020

    I worked with Jerry Thornton and he was a great salesmen. He did not push me to make a deal, he worked hard to get the numbers that I wanted even though his manager was not willing to work with me. It is important to note that I am a 23 year old and when I first went to dealer I saw a salesmen walk away from me but Jerry did not shy away. If you are looking to buy from here take your time and get the deal that works best for you because they will treat you right.

    The employees at Kirby Subaru were professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They answered all of my questions and made the sales process easy. Henry Garibay was very easy to work with and took time to address my questions.
