I am thrilled to have just leased my second Subaru Forester Wilderness from Subaru Santa Monica…read more Can I add, it's a BEAST in blue ! Returning for a second lease was an easy decision because of the exceptional experience I've had with this dealership from day one - and my 2023 Forester was my fave car ever. The entire team--both in sales and service--is warm, friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to customer satisfaction. The sales staff, including: Ron the GM, Mario the manager, Paul the finance director and Gabriel, my salesman, made the leasing process comfortable and stress-free, taking the time to answer my questions and remain patient when I conferred with ChatGPT and friends for sales advice and support. The service department has been equally outstanding. They are efficient and meticulously organized and treated me with kindness and respect. It's clear that Subaru values their customers and takes pride in providing excellent service. I love my Forester Wilderness, and I appreciate knowing that I have a dealership I can trust. Subaru Santa Monica has earned my loyalty through their consistent professionalism, integrity, and outstanding customer care. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a vehicle and a dealership that genuinely puts its customers first.

I'm not gonna name names cause I'm not trying to blame people doing what a corporation tells them…read moreto do. But I took my car in for a regular service and was quoted, get this, $2,100 for a new A/C compressor, only after waiting 3 hours and watching through the window as no one worked on my car. I of course couldn't pay that and took it to a local mechanic after a recommendation, who let me know that my A/C compressor was fine- it was merely a broken electrical relay system. Parts and labor? $120. Subaru Santa Monica quoted me essentially a 90% markup. This place truly preys upon if you don't know about cars or aren't under warranty. Avoid if you're not under warranty- I knew these places could be bad but not this bad.

My engine light suddenly came on a few days ago and then the engine started to make a funny noise…read more Due to a combination of a crazy schedule and having been frustrated with my most recent experiences with local dealerships, I decided to try out Mobile Mechanic. It's one of the best decisions I have made this year. Will was able to come out with a day or so and run a diagnostics check, quickly locating the issue and showing me the results. He explained to me what the issue was, discussed options, gave me a full quote and a price - highly competitive. With me agreeing to what needed to be done, he ordered the part (Saturday) and came back the next day (Sunday) to install it. Incredibly helpful and so polite, he showed me the new part, walked me through what he was going to do and afterward even showed me the part he removed and explained the wear and why it was actually perfect timing. Within hours I was up and running again, good as new. I have NEVER had service like this from a dealership in all my years of being a car owner and driver (and that's several decades). Will also flagged other things that I needed to be aware of (including needing an oil change - which I will be getting him to come and do) but at no point pushed for me to do them there and then - zero pressure, just guidance. He repeatedly asked if I had any questions and was keen for me to understand what was happening and why - superb! He even cleared up the work area after he'd finished. Flawless. Aside from the convenience and Will just being an incredibly nice guy, his attention to detail and service are second to none. Friendly and knowledgable, he works hard to make sure you understand what he's doing, and is professional and polite at every step along the way. Will clearly cares and takes great pride in what he does. He's the only person I will be going to for my automotive service needs from now on. Highly recommended.

We were told by another garage our subie was a bust and to get rid of it. We brought it to Subaru…read moreauto repair for a second opinion. They looked over our car carefully, took a video of the test they performed and shared it with us. He also explained to us what the test meant. Overall it was a bust and repairing it wasn't worth it but I appreciated the honesty and thorough evaluation. The garage itself has access through the alley, street entrance is pretty busy. We communicated via text and phone but during drop off and pick up the main guy wasn't around. He shares the garage with someone else and that person helped us when the main guy wasn't there (sorry I can't remember his name). Overall a good experience despite the fact that my car is officially dead!

My battery died and budget is tight, so we went looking for a used or refurbished option. And since the car was completely dead, I especially appreciate that he came directly to us. No tow truck needed! Skip came through with transparency, outstanding customer service, and a price that was truly budget friendly. Skip, thank you. You are a true blessing. I appreciate you!
