Dealership Information
Testimonials
Did a very good job!
They are my Dealership now!
“ It's worth the drive from Santa Ynez. I love my Subaru Crosstrek, and I want it to be my last car. She was due for her 60,000-mile service, which I knew was a big one ($$$$)... I made an appointment online (a nice feature offered by all Subaru dealers) .... I made it for 1pm. The next day, I was called, and my service advisor said this was a large service, and it would take up to 5 hours to get it done. They offered me a loaner car at no extra charge. The loaner was a 2024 Forrester Ascent. Super nice vehicle... much bigger and nicer than my own car! Very thorough, very professional, and friendly service staff. They are my Dealership now! ”
Thank you!
“ I had new tires installed and Subaru loaned me a car while I waited for it. I really appreciate that. ”
The customer service at this dealership is outstanding.
“ Ladies if you want to buy a car and have a great experience see Alex Nikolaou. My sister (70's) wanted to buy a car, so she brought me along to be the "heavy". Alex met us when we pulled up to the front of the dealership. He introduced himself and I told him we were not buying a car today. He appreciated; I was honest. As my sister looked around, she fell in love with the 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness package. My sister test drove the vehicle and learned more about the active cruise control and active driving options on the vehicle. Alex showed her how to use the options and respectfully answered all our questions. We had a goal to walk away and have dinner and discuss the options. Alex said he would put some numbers together and send to us via text. We did not feel pressure or dirty leaving the dealership to think on this vehicle. The trade in price on her Subaru Outback was reasonable so we slept on the idea of a new car. In the morning we text Alex and set up an appt to come and test drive the car again. Alex explained all the nuances of the Forester compared to her older Outback. What sold my sister was the front camera, SLO has small parking spaces, and the front camera is fantastic for pulling into tight spaces. The cameras on this car make it easy to get in and out of parking spots without hitting the curb in front. What I would like to say about this experience is if you want your Grandmother, Mother or Sister to feel respected and not taken advantage of go see Alex at Subaru of San Luis Obispo. As my sister and I asked questions Alex slowly explained the answers. He did not talk down to us, and we had tons of questions. I did not feel dirty or swindled leaving the dealership after the purchase. Subaru of San Luis Obispo has a young gentleman, “Porter” to help explain all the electronic in the new car. My sister can go into this dealership any time in the future and ask for explanations of this knob, switch or setting up the apple car play to her current apple phone or when she upgrades to the new apple phone. The customer service at this dealership is outstanding. We recommend working with Alex for all your Subaru needs. ”

I would recommend working with Randy at Subaru of SLO!
“ Randy Gregory was our salesman and made the car buying experience super stress free. We came in for a test drive and weren't pressured to make the sale immediately. Came back after testing a few other models at other dealers with other sales people and by far Randy was the easiest and most transparent on features, price, etc. I would recommend working with Randy at Subaru of SLO! ”
Highly recommend this business for everyone.
“ We found a wonderful used car on their site and enquired about financing and within a hour was contacted by Liam a true professional who asked us to come in on Christmas eve and we felt like family members and never felt any pressure and everyone went above and beyond for us to give us the best buying experience we've ever had. Thank you so much Liam, Paras, and Peter for being the best in the business for us and our purchase. Highly recommend this business for everyone. ”
