AutoNation Subaru Spokane
Dealership Service Review
I have been bringing my Subaru to this dealership since 2003 and have generally been satisfied. I was very fond of John the previous manager, but unfortunately he left and relocated to another city. I always avoided Scott when he was still service adviser, which was pretty easy, but was really dismayed when I heard he replaced John as manager. My issue with him took place in Nov.2014. I was not able to get an appointment for a winter tire change at my usual tire store and came to Auto Nation for a free tire change. I was told the summer tires would be placed in a bag and the center caps be put on my winter tires if that is what I wanted. The tires were not in a bag and the center caps were left on the summer tires. I asked for the "kid' to finish the job correctly and he proceeded to do that in the parking lot. While he was working I asked him if he had marked the tires and he said no, we don't do that here. I asked for Scott, who said tire marking was not necessary, because the rear tires of my Forester get criss crossed to the front and ultimately all tires would come around.I told him not so, tires on my car get moved from front to back, and back to front. He started a silly argument that I was wrong. I asked him to show me in writing to prove his point. He went to his office and printed a paper that clearly stated I was correct. Instead of apologizing he became loud, rude and argumentative. I decided never to come back. I was gone for the month of December and didn't have opportunity to complain.I stopped by last week to asked for the general managers e-mail and the lady at the info desk told me that Scott Randall was gone. Needless to say, that made my day. In the meantime I have been back for service and was satisfied. They are getting a new service manager and hopefully a more professional one. Also there are to many service adviser changes lately which is not very confidence inspiring. They don't seem to hold on to the good ones.
