Subaru World of Newton
Dealership Service Review
My name is Vadim Shpolyansky and I am writing this to inform you fellow Subaru owners to stay away from Subaru of Newton in Newton, Nj. If you care about your car, honest, and money then this story impacts you and your daily life. Let me start from the beginning, I was sold my car three years ago, excited about owning a Subaru because I have a family and safety is very important to me. Thinking things were great, I quickly learned they were not. I had minor issues with this car, but I over looked it because things happen and sometimes luck doesn't follow us. However because of recent circumstances, I feel I should be warning Subaru owners against this dealership. I went into Subaru to do some routine maintenance on my 2013 Subaru Outback; well this routine maintenance cost me around a $1,000. Fine I thought, Ill pay, better to be safe. However, after a few days of having my car, I notice a weird noise coming from my car. I am a very thorough man. I pay attention to every little detail, especially after dropping $1,000 not even a week ago. Once again, I find myself at the Subaru dealership in Newton. This time they tell me its a wheel bearing which costed me $550. Fine, another payment I paid. For three years I went to this dealership. When they said to fix something I did it right away, no hesitations. I only went to them for three years because I trusted them. Clearly that was my mistake. Not even one month later and 4,000 miles later, I am getting my tires rotated at the local tire shop and the mechanic lets me know that my rubber boot was cut and grease was leaking out. I couldn't believe it. It was only one month since my car was in the dealership and now I had to bring it back? Ok fine. I called the manager and he said If you brought it back two days later, I would say it was our fault. However its been one month and 4,000. Why should I check my car after spending 1,500 dollars?! Excuse me. When they installed the hub, they accidentally cut the boot. No one told me about it, and theres no way to find that out unless you physically get out of the car. Theres no noise, no leaking. The only way to find out is to lift the car. How did this dealership expect me to do this? That is not my duty. Before they gave my car back, they should have checked everything. That is not my job. It is theirs. This cost me another $580. Now its not even about the money at this point. Its the pure disrespect. Also, to have grease leaking like that is extremely dangerous. I commute every day about a hour and 30 minutes. God forbid the grease leaked into my brakes and I couldn't stop. Who would support my family. Its a damn shame that I trusted this Subaru of Newton dealership and they completely screwed me over. If you care about your life, money, and time: Do not bring your car here. They lie and do not take responsibility for their own actions. Its a shame. Subaru is such a great company and this dealership is the complete opposite. I will never bring my car here again and I strongly suggest that you dont either.
