  • Great and fast sales service

    5 out of 5 starsby FFtacmedic on 02/23/2013
    updated 06/10/2025

    I needed to replace a Subaru Forester and was short on time. No only did they offer a "loyalty" discout, the lease offer was very attractive. Jim understood what I needed and did a number of things that helped expedite the purchase. Really easy, without any preasure.
    • Greetings FFtacmedic! Thank you for stopping by Herb Gordon Subaru. We sincerely appreciate your thoughtful review and will be sure to share your encouraging thoughts with our team. We hope to see you soon!

  • Professional from start to finish

    We dealt with Lakshman who was professional and honest. He truly wanted what was right for us. He was fair with pricing - we had done our homework and he did not play games. We bought the 2014 Forester Touring with Eyesight. We meet the General Sales Manager, Michael R., not for the typical negotiations but to help us with biking and kayaking questions. Everyone there just treated us so well. It made the buying experience very pleasant.
    • Good afternoon amc10. Herb Gordon Subaru is delighted to hear that your car buying experience was a memorable one! We are also pleased that Lakshman was able to assist you with your new purchase. As you settle in to your new vehicle, please do not hesitate to stop by for a regular checkup! Thank you again amc10 for the highly praised review. [HTML removed]

  • Straightforward & no pressure

    Rich C. at Herb Gordon Subaru was a pleasure to work with. Did a great job helping me find the model of Subaru Crosstrek that I wanted, in the rare color that I wanted, even though options were scarce at the end of the model year. He helped me figure out which options I wanted on the car, weeding out choices that I really wouldn't get much use out of. He was also very clear about the pricing of the car and in light of quotes from other Subaru dealers, the price was fair.
    • Thank you for your heartfelt response. We appreciate your business and strive to maintain a high standard of customer satisfaction. We are pleased to hear that Rich lead you to your new car, and we will certainly share your feedback with him. Please do not hesitate to call or pop back in to see us at Herb Gordon Subaru. Thank you again and have a great day!

  • Excellent Experience All Around

    updated 06/10/2025

    From the very outset, from introduction to test drive to deal discussion and eventual sale, Lakshman, our salesman, was a true professional, polite, considerate and straightforward. He quoted a bottom-line price for the 2014 Outback I was interested in with no pressure at all. Also, the business manager with whom we worked the next day to complete the sale, as expected reviewed all the add-on options but did not use any high pressure tactics to get us to purchase the extras. We did decide to buy an add-on Subaru service warranty. The entire process was smooth and enjoyable. This was the 3rd vehicle we've purchased from Herb Gordon. Each transaction was pretty much as this last one.

    Purchasing a new vehicle at Herb Gordon Subaru was a very pleasant experience for me. There were no games that are so typical of car dealers. My sales consultant, Lakshman S, was very courteous, professional, knowledgeable and straightforward. The same can be said for the finance manager, Rod A. I can hosestly say that there was no part of the process that wasn't fully explained to my satisfaction. I have no doubt that when I am in the market for a new car in the future Herb Gordon will be my first choice.
    • Ischn8, thanks so much for your positive feedback! We were very glad to assist you in your purchasing experience. I hope you enjoy your new Subaru! Moving forward, please do not hesitate to stop by for a visit should you need any maintenance services performed. We would love to see you!

  • Great place for service!!

    I purchased a 2008 Subaru WRX STI, from a dealership other than Herb Gordon. With in the first few months of ownership I had a simple mechanical issues with my STI. I asked the other dealership to assist me with the problem and I was literally left out to dry! I told a friend of mine about the issue I had and he said I should see Michael at Herb Gordon Subaru in Silverspring. I told him that I was closer to another Subaru dealer in Annapolis but he insisted that I go to Michael! After one visit I was sold, and not because of the one problem I had was fixed. The professional interaction, accurate knowledge that he had of my car, and the calm/easy going nature he had with the situation had me sold on where I will take my Subaru now and forever! After three years of solid service and repairs I sold my wife's 2009 Honda Odyessy and purchased a 2011 Subaru Outback Limited. The service team of Michael senior/junior, Ken, & Vitaliy was enough to convince me I didn't want to have any other vehicle other than a Subaru! If you want a trustworthy place for your service take your Subie to them and you will not be disappointed!!!
  • Overall Great Experience!:)

    I bought a 2014 Jasmine Green Metallic Subaru Forester Limited on 10/31/13. I never felt pressured to buy right away, I was treated with lots of respect (Sometimes that can be hard to come by in general as a woman looking for a car), and I felt I got a fair deal on the Forester as well as the trade in. I recommend Herb Gordon Subaru for anyone looking to buy a Subaru. For me, it's not just about getting a good deal, it's also getting the treatment you deserve as the customer. No one tried to give me the run around so to speak. The salesman I doubt with was Rich C. Rich was very informative, honest, attentive, patient, and fair in the pricing dept. I always hate the process of buying a car, however, Herb Gordon Subaru made the process painless! And the 2014 Forester is beautiful and I love driving it! Huge improvement from the 2013 Forester!
  • Easy pleasant no hassle experience

    This is the first car we've purchased online and everything went seamlessly. We were able to do what we needed over email and the phone and then showed up to pick up the car and do the paperwork. John R was able to make sure we got the car we wanted with the few simple extras we desired and didn't hound us about anything else. I wish my previous car buying experiences had been this easy. I especially appreciated John walking us through all the features of the car after we were done with the paperwork - he even set up my bluetooth to work with my phone! We were directed to Herb Gordon through Costco and AAA, and definitely understand why those reputable companies choose to do business with the Herb Gordon dealership. Highly recommend!
  • Great place to buy a great car

    I've bought Subaru Forrester 2014 from Herb Gordon Subaru. It was really great experience- I would say that Herb Gordon is the best dealership I've dealt with so far! Salesperson Lakshman S. was extremely helpful and really nice. I would recommend asking for him if you decide to buy a car from this dealership. Also this place itself is really nice - clean, spacious, conveniently located ( especially if you take ICC - what a pleasant ride from Gaithersburg!). The price was also great! And they make permanent license plates themselves right away! Nice bonus! Also every fifth oil change as well as loner car is free. Go to Herb Gordon - you won't regret it!
    • Hi Lupaz, Herb Gordon Subaru would like to congratulate you on your new 2014 Subaru Forrester! We truly appreciate your business and strive to maintain a high standard of customer satisfaction. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions! Thank you again Lupaz and have a great day.

    Lakshman at Herb Gordon did an excellent job of providing complete vehicle configuration details and pricing in advance over the internet. We were provided a VIN and approximate date of delivery. We wanted two port option added which was easily done at a reasonable price. The vehicle arrived sooner and configured exactly as we wanted. The entire process was friendly and efficient. Highly recommend the dealership/.
    • On behalf of Herb Gordon Subaru, we are glad to hear that you were happy with Lakshman's service - that kind of feedback can go a long way.

  • Best Price, professional, efficient.

    I recently bought a 2013 Subaru Impreza Sport Limited from Herb Gordon Subaru representative Gary G. I definitely have to say the experience was professional and enjoyable. I initially came in several weeks ago to test drive a model and I was approached by Gary, who asked me what I was looking for. I told him everything I wanted and he found a model for me right off the spot. He even let me test drive it on the highway to test the passing speeds and pick-up. I was given a quote when I left and there was no pressure. Gary didn't hound me like other dealers. I put in an online quote request several days later and was given an even cheaper price by Gary than was in person. I had gone to other dealers and compared prices for the same model and they all agreed, Herb Gordon Subaru offered the best price. A price they couldn't beat! Some matched the price and Gary even offered to take a few more off. In summation, the professionalism and willingness to work with me was what won me over. The dealership is also sparkly clean and the location is great. Gary's also a real funny guy and has a lot of jokes. I definitely recommend this location!

  • 2014 XV Crosstrek Premium

    5 out of 5 starsby debrown1 on 01/08/2014
    updated 06/10/2025

    This was my first time buying a Subaru and negotiating via the internet. I found Herb Gordon Subaru and my salesman, Gary G., to be friendly, responsive, professional, knowledgable, polite and not pushy. They were forthright in getting to the lowest price before I came in and did not engage in the typical tactics of other car dealerships I had contacted via the internet. However, dealing through the internet did not revlieve me of having to sit with the finance Mgr., despite having financing in place and my request to not go through that "song-and-dance." Thus my trip to the dealership took longer than I would have liked. Gary G. was great and I felt at ease throughout the process which went very smoothly. I would recommend Gary & this dealership as they are more interested in moving cars, finalizing the sale, and giving the customer a good experience than brow beating & haggeling for endless hours on end. By the way, I love, love, love the car and how it handles (This after being a dedicated Mazda customer for 30+ years).
    • Good afternoon debrown1. Herb Gordon Subaru is delighted to hear that your car buying experience was a memorable one! We are also pleased that Gary was able to assist you with your new Subaru purchase. As you settle in to your new vehicle, please do not hesitate to stop by for a regular checkup!

    My sales rep was Lakshman S., very patient, answered my questions thoroughly and let me see a few models with different options and colors with no pressure added. Felt I was able to make the best purchase decision based on information not high pressure sales. Made the major purchase of a car as pleasurable as could be.

    We received excellent treatment from Lakshman S., who was extremely genuine, very low key, not at all pushy, answered all our questions and came up with a deal we could not have walked away from.

  • Customer Service

    updated 06/10/2025

    My family went shopping for a new car with two toddlers in tow and were looking for a dealership with customer service. Herb Gordon definitely delivered. Jason, our Sales Consultant, was superb. He was respectful of our time, knew the cars inside and out, and was good with the kids. The dealership bent over backwards to make sure we where happy and satisfied customers. Their level of service is not normally found while car shopping. Their facilities were clean and kid friendly, with a great little playroom. We were greeted and felt welcomed from the moment we entered the dealership. Their commitment to their customers ensure that we will be repeat customers.
    • newsubarumom, thank you for your encouraging review of Herb Gordon Subaru. We are particularly grateful for any positive feedback, but a response like yours truly motivates the team. Without our customers we would not be in business and for that reason I wanted to personally thank you for sharing your satisfaction. If you would need any assistance towards future purchases and/or services, we would love to help. Thanks so much, Herb Gordon Subaru [HTML removed]

  • Happy unpressured buying experience

    Not only did Herb Gordon provide the lowest price we found in a Forester, but I especially want to recommend Lakshman Sukar as a salesman to anyone looking for a happy, unpressured buying experience. Lakshman was informative and helpful in every respect, but he also respected the boundaries we set and did not attempt to oversell the product, realizing that it spoke for itself. I plan to return to Lakshman for our next car and would recommend him to anyone.

    I have purchased many cars in my lifetime (babyboomer here) and I've had both good and terrible experiences. I had an excellent experience with the purchase of my new 2014 Subaru Forester Premium at Herb Gordon. Gary G. was knowledgeable and patient with all of my detailed questions and the other staff I dealt with (manager, etc.) were also very helpful in the process.
    • Thank you for your heartfelt response. We appreciate your business and strive to maintain a high standard of customer satisfaction. We are pleased to hear that Gary G. lead you to your new 2014 Subaru Forester Premium, and we will certainly share your feedback with him.
