Very honest, professional, and competent dealership. I brought my WRX here to get serviced. The waiting area was nice, prices were good, and the quality of work was superb. Shout out to Amanda for being a great service advisor

I had a great experience buying my certified pre-owned Subaru. My salesman John was extremely knowledgeable and made it such an easy process. He helped me find car the met all my needs and gave me options. With him you’re not just buying a car - you buy the experience and satisfaction of working with great people.

Very happy with both my recent car purchase and the high level of professionalism of the entire Royal staff with whom I interacted. Id like to especially thank the sales consultant, Michael Howell, with whom I primarily interacted before, during, and after the sale. He was great to work with on finding the perfect car and in completing the paperwork. Highly recommend him, and whenever I get my next car I will definitely be coming back to Royal thanks in no small part to him. Genuinely a five star experience. Thank you to the entire Royal team!

Royal Subaru not only is the best place to buy a car it has the very best service. I could give them 20 stars. Their service makes it so easy to drop off or pick up your car. A loaner car is available if you need and the service persons are just fantastic. Every service is explained in plain language. I love my Subaru but it is worth buying just because of the Service you receive from Royal.

Royal Subaru takes great care of their customers. People are very responsive and helpful. When I had AC broken they gave me parts at the cost of the dealership what is way above $1,000.00. I completely trust their mechanics . Royal also has a great rental service. I would recommend this dealership to anyone.

I bought a Subaru Crosstrek LMT recently, when all other dealers told me I would be waiting 2-4 months Royal got me one within 30 days, I love the car, Ciara who sold me the car got me in it and on the road very quickly. I will buy from Royal again. 10 out of 5 stars.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Mike Howell helped set me up in my brand new Subaru Impreza. He was very friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. He made the process very easy and quick, definitely the best car salesman I have ever dealt with. I was in my new car that day. I highly recommend Royal Subaru, especially when finding a new car.

Very nice place. The salemen and Women are very knowledgeable about the vehicles. And very kind. There is free coffee, hot Cocoa, and snacks by the side door. Which is very nice to see. Area is air conditioned. So its nice and cool.

Everything was wonderful. We had a great experience at Royal. We were promptly greeted by Ciara who brought us the keys to test drive the Nissan Sentra. We were quick to decide it was the right car for us and were able to do a same-day delivery!The whole process was quick and painless. This is our second vehicle through Royal and we plan on keeping our car-buying experiences here.

Failed to produce a reasonable offer, despite the fact that my wife and I were offering to purchase two high end new vehicles. Although they put two salesmen onto the job of convincing us of what a great deal it was! Rochester dealership blew thier offer out of the water.

I absolutely love Royal Subaru! I have gone there for all my car needs. I drive all the way from Syracuse just because they’re the best and have always treated me well! I got a new car last weekend and my car shopping experience was so smooth and professional. My salesman John was excellent! He took the time to go over all my questions and options. He was polite and was not pushy. 10/10 recommend working with him for your next vehicle! Michelle in finance was so friendly and patient with me. Car buying can be stressful sometimes and she certainly helped my experience not be stressful! Also-The lobby’s are so clean, spacious and pretty. Whether it’s waiting for paperwork or a service visit-you’ll be sure to be taken care of and feel comfortable.

Stacy in service did a great job to accommodate my every need. She went above and beyond and made the experience so much better, especially after being without my car for 2 months due to an accident. Stacy is a very valuable asset and resource to the Royal Nissan Subaru family. Great service.

Review №31

Hassle-free car buying experience from the sales staff to the financing person. They were very accommodating to my wife and I over a period of a week that it took us to decide. They work well as a team, and that helped us to decide to take our vehicles there for service after the sale as well. I couldn’t recommend this dealership more highly.

I walked in at 9am on a Monday where John greeted me and helped me out. Being a younger buyer (26), I was very thankful that John didnt treat me like a little kid or try to take advantage of me. He treated me as a customer the entire time. He listened to my needs/wants along with my budget and put me into a car that I desperately needed at a great price. The buying process was extremely transparent and Royal Subaru did a great job at making this deal happen. I worked with Chris and Michele as well, also extremely professional. Thank you!

I purchased a 2020 Subaru Ascent with no-contact sales in effect. The transaction was extremely easy and professional. They went above and beyond to ensure my questions were answered and even delivery was quick and efficient. I received several follow-up messages regarding my purchase, to ask if there were questions, and to touch base.I am extremely happy with this transaction and the purchase of this vehicle. Royal Motors was truly no hassle, Thank you!

Shopping for a new vehicle during the pandemic can be challenging. I went to another dealership before visiting this one and have to say the experience was much better here. I worked with Bill over the phone before going out to meet him in person and see the car. The dealership was very clean and everyone there was wearing a mask properly. Its a smaller dealership so it was no crowded at all.In terms of car shopping, I cant recommend them enough. Bill really took the time to make sure I was making the right vehicle purchase for me. We went on the longest, most scenic test drive Ive ever experienced. Everyone was very friendly and the sale was done very quickly. I walked in Friday afternoon to look at a car and walked out with it on Saturday morning.And most importantly, I love my new car!

Review №38

I used the Subaru service department to perform an oil change and inspection. Ive always trusted the service department to do the best work on my car. However, I was sorely disappointed with this service.The mechanic failed to put the oil change sticker in my car. The car was also supposed to be washed. After more than an hour and a half of waiting, I was told they were washing the car and it would be right out. After 10 more mins of waiting I noticed that my car was parked outside the bay. I walked back there to get it and it had NOT been washed. The young man who was supposed to get it done was socializing. I got the keys from him and left.

I had a poor experience at a Syracuse Subaru dealership and figured I would drive South and check out Royal Subaru and see what they had to offer! John May my Salesperson was beyond exceptional ! He is a straight shooter, very knowledgeable, and made the leasing process a piece of cake for my uncle ! Overall, the entire staff at Royal Subaru were awesome, and the donuts were the icing on the cake ! Ask for John May you will not be disappointed!!!!

Review №42

I have bought two cars here, in 2012 and 2020, and both were superb experiences. I knew what I wanted in both cases, the purchase experience was straightforward, low pressure, no games, professional, and the pricing was the best. All post-purchase service was excellent, and pricing was a bit below our local dealer. A small but very well run dealership.

I received a recall notice for my fuel pump. I made an appointment, took my Outback in, and was met at the door by the service representative who was waiting for me. They said it would take two hours, and it did. I was impressed with the friendliness, courtesy, and efficiency of the stack and mechanics. There were no surprises, no up selling, which I appreciated. It was very professional and friendly. What more can one ask for?

This dealership is professional. personal, courteous, helpful and above all Honest. This dealership makes you feel as you are a good friend rather than a consumer.

As always, the service at Royal Subaru is great. I was able to drop off my car right away and get a loaner until my car was finished. They navigated bringing the car to a company that previously worked on it and for reasons had to weld something on. As a result, I was saved about $2000 and that speaks for itself!

I purchased a 2017 Titan XD a couple of weeks ago. I found that Sirius XM continually cut out at the slightest obstacle such a a single tree. I traded in a 2012 Toyota Tundra that had Sirius XM and it never cut out in these spots, as well as my wifes Subaru (purchased a Royal), Obviously, the antenna is not up to par. Service says there is nothing wrong with it. While Stacy did her best to help me the service department was obstinate. It was my intention to utilize the Nissan service department for my new truck, but unless I can get this resolved, I will be forced to take my business elsewhere.

Just came in for an air-bag recall. Now the air-bag warning light is flashing on the dashboard continuously. This recall has been open for a few years, after doing hundreds of recall fixes/updates, youd think theyd know what you are doing by now. Guess not. Now I have to schedule another appointment. I dont have time for this.

MIke Howell, my consultant, was outstanding in the way he guided me through the process. Patiently explaining the new features of the vehicle and helping me throught the lease process. At different times when I went to the showroom, other consultants also treated me with very friendly and helpful service. This is my fifth lease of the Subaru Forester with Royal Subaru and I very happy with the entire staff at Royal. If you want a great vehicle and service - go see Mike Howell

With Bill OGormans help I found the perfect car. Within just a few hours of making the decision to get a new Forester I drove away in my new car. It was so helpful to have a true demonstration of all the Forester can do. I had gone to out of town dealerships for previous cars, now it is time to shop at home. Royal is certainly, No hassle no razzle dazzle.

The customer service is exceptional! Very friendly knowledgeable and helpful. The scheduling to have a simple diagnostic test done takes a bit longer than expected sometimes up to week. We paid and were told the exact same thing that we were told prior That it needed a transmission but were still charged. It was driven .o2 miles after dropping it off and picking it up?

I was disappointed with my visit on 8/12/19. I was having the emergency brake recall repair done. I ended up being there almost 5 hours. I dont like driving cars Im not familiar with and as a widow I am alone and have no one to drop me off or pick me up. They were having trouble with the repair. One of the ladies went back to check and said they have had trouble with a few of them. When I was pulling out of the lot I heard the loudest metal on metal screaming I have ever heard. I turned around and went back. They say a brake pad got stuck in a caliper. I would have thought they would have checked those things. What ticked me off the most was when I was back waiting the lady didnt let me know my car was done. Normally they come to the waiting room, let you know it is ready, you go to the desk and get your paperwork, pay and get your key. Nothing. I went out there and she said the car was ready. I asked about the key and she said it was in the car. How long was I to sit there before she was going to let me know?Also, when I had my muffler done a couple of months ago they marked my tires as yellow on the multi point inspections. Interestingly enough, this time they were green. Same tires. I also found it interesting that every single customer that was there while I was waiting was told that either a light bulb needed to be replaced (that wasnt required to pass inspection) or the cabin filter needed to be replaced. They did that with me a while back as well. Sounds a lot like a way to get money as it seems odd that every single customer had one of those issues. I no longer trust this shop.

Review №97

People and service were great. 5 stars all the way around. Very pleasant to deal with. Very disappointed that I had to spend $180 on caliper service for a Subaru that only has 14,000 miles on it and is less than a year old. And all four rotors had to be machined which was covered under warranty thank god. Answer for blame was the road conditions in this area?. I have a 2018 Honda civic with 42,000 miles and still have not serviced the brakes and last I checked it drives on the same roads. I guess that is why I have 4 Hondas and only one Subaru.

Worst customer service experience I have ever had!!! I had a morning appointment that should have been done by noon and it wasn’t completed until 430! When I went in to pick up my car the gentleman who waited on me made excuses, said stuff happens, if waiting on my car all day was the worst of my worries then I was doing well and proceeded to tell me he didn’t care that I was upset! I will never return and will never recommend this establishment.

We knew we would get one more car. I loved all my subarus, but Ive always driven a manual shift. The car we selected was in the showroom, when I sat in it I knew it was for us. Our Salesman, Robin was easy, no push, a real gentleman. The next today we called and settled the deal. We hadnt even driven geccar. The transition between manual and auto shift is easier than I thought. Very happy with the human experience. S. Morano
