They even offer manicures, which is such a wonderful touch! The waiting area is exceptionally thoughtful and comfortable. The restrooms are clean and even provide complimentary feminine products.

The owner and staff have done an amazing job creating an environment that is pleasant, welcoming, and comfortable.

I moved up here from out of state a few years back and had fine experiences with this location for…read morecar service during my first 2 years in the area. The last 3 years have been a different story. Every time I bring my car in, prices are unreasonable, with added expenses we didn't discuss before service. I have to negotiate literally every time I bring my car in, and I leave feeling swindled consistently. To say this place has become a scam is an understatement. The prices are arbitrary, and they can never tell me what work was actually done on the car. I most recently dealt with Michael for car service. I dropped my car off at 9am and then reached out to Toyota to check in at 3:30pm because I hadn't heard anything. I got a receptionist, who said Michael had a line of customers at his desk and that he'd get back to me. I immediately received an automated text message to approve or deny a list of services (that were not the reason I needed service on that particular day), and they never even addressed my issue. I waited until 4pm to call back, nearing the end of the work day because I needed to pick up my car by close and I was nervous they now wouldn't have time to address my issue. They'd had the car already for 7 hours without actually addressing the issue, only for Michael to call me around 4:30pm to say they can't help me. More accurately, I was given two options, 1) Toyota cannot help me because I had work done with "aftermarket parts" (these parts were installed by Toyota when I purchased my car, mind you), so I'd have to bring my car elsewhere, or 2) They would charge me an indiscriminate amount to remove all the fully-functioning "aftermarket" parts because "maybe" it would get them one step closer to addressing my issue - no guarantee it would solve anything but I'd be charged a great deal more money, have functioning parts removed to potentially also cause more issues without necessarily solving the original issue. I asked if a third option was available, one that could have been a fairly simple fix - and one that was recommended by another Toyota Service Center as the first step in solving the problem, and he said he'd never heard of such a thing. I explained that I'd contacted this other Toyota, and they said to start with this third option. Michael said, "If that was an option, the service technician would've given it to [him]." I asked if he could check in with the technician, and he refused several times. When I brought this up upon collecting my unserviced vehicle, he claimed that "he's not racist, but the technician is Chinese and doesn't speak English," so it wouldn't have helped anyone even if he had asked about the third option as I requested. Michael then went on to charge me $149 for labor (not the full $199 he "should've" charged me, as he pointed out for me to be grateful), despite nothing being addressed or accurately diagnosed on my vehicle. When asked how long the vehicle was looked at and what exactly I was being charged for, Michael couldn't answer. After years of feeling disrespected at this location, this was my final straw. I would strongly advise anyone to look elsewhere.

I wanted to update my original review because credit should be given where it's due…read more After my initial experience, members of the management team reached out to personally address my concerns. They took the time to listen, explain the situation, and worked with me to find a solution. In the end, we were able to make a deal, and I'm happy to say the entire purchasing process turned out to be smooth and straightforward. A special thank you to Brian, George, and especially Steve. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to customer satisfaction completely changed my impression of the dealership. They made what could have been a frustrating experience into one that was painless and enjoyable. While my first interaction left me disappointed, I believe it's just as important to recognize when a business takes ownership of a situation and works to make it right. That's exactly what this team did. Thank you again to Brian, George, and Steve for going the extra mile. I truly appreciate the effort.

Take this as a good suggestion, bring your car to Sarris if you need any help!

So unless Peter (the boss I think) had told me, I would not have known and probably paid for a new catalytic converter my self into their pocket. WOW - A trustworthy car repair shop.

Car Broker Connoisseur…read more Ari, of Boston Automotive Consulting, has been the best find of 2019! I decided I was getting a little long in the tooth and it was time to lease my first luxury car. I know my strengths, but car-purchasing was remedial at best. Like every human on planet Earth, I decided I could learn this skill on YouTube. I stumbled across Ari's car-buying tutorials on YouTube, and immediately knew he was the guy who could help me orchestrate a top-notch deal on a 2019 Alfa Romeo Guilia! He was patient, professional and highly educating (e.g. dealers will add unwanted accessories to your vehicle in order to make larger profits) and helped me get a steal of a deal on the 2019 Alfa Romeo lease. If you're like me and car deals are not in your wheelhouse, I strongly advise you reach out to Ari to negotiate your next deal. You will not be disappointed!

Before I get into the bad, here are some positives about Cityside Subaru. And until my most recent…read morecar incident, I would have raved about these strengths to anyone who needed a Subaru. When I bought my car, my interactions with Flavio, one of the sales representatives, was so great that I still remember him 8 years later. I remember how respectful he was with my parents (who came with me to help with the process), how he was not pushy for us to buy at Subaru, and how he encouraged us to make a sound decision by continuing our search with the two other dealerships on our lists. I don't know if he still works there, but I remember recommending Cityside Subaru / Flavio to friends when they were looking at an impreza model (and they also reported having a positive interaction with him). Also the customer service reps I had spoken with before, during, and after my car gets service usually are pretty approachable for my questions. The waiting area is pretty nice and filled with snacks. I work nearby, so this Belmont location has always been convenient for me. So then why such a bad score? Well, recently I had an incident where a belt snapped - and it was after being replaced two years ago as well as having a routine maintenance check up only one month ago. The inspection apparently passed at the time. I don't know if it's faulty material or faulty labor, but my car found itself with a shredded belt resulting in engine failure a week ago from today. When I called to tell Subaru about this, all the rep did was shrug and agree this seemed too soon to happen. And maybe it was a faulty material or bad labor, who can tell, right? Despite the rep listening to me, the end result seemed to be like there was nothing Subaru could to do. Now that I think about it, I don't think there even was an apology from the rep's end besides "things like this happen." Sure, ok that may be true. Things DO happen and faulty car parts exist, so freaking Cityside Subaru should at least have some kind of policy to support the customer when they do. I know next to nothing about cars, and the engine is never opened until I bring it to the car maintenance, so I know for sure this can't be my fault. Yet to be fair, I was not sure what I was expecting from Cityside - maybe a credit for a future inspection (not like I would come back...) or tire rotation or something? Maybe even an acknowledgement Subaru messed up and a reimbursement for at least part of my previous inspection?! I have no idea to be honest. After reflecting on that call, I did feel unsupported as a customer, especially as a loyal customer who has been getting routined maintenance appointments with them since 2019. This is already a long review, but two years ago, I had a similar situation in that my car went in for inspection, had a battery replaced, and then that battery DIED a month later. When I brought the car for a battery check, they did not reimbursement or claim it was their faulty material, but recharged the battery and "gave it back" by keeping it in my car trunk. I'm not sure why they thought I would want it back, and they didnt even ask if I would want to keep it. They also kept trying to blame me for it, saying Ieft the car lights on...but the lights turn off automatically so I don't understand how that is my fault? After reading other people's reviews here on yelp, it truly seems like other people have had issues with Cityside Subaru giving them bad parts, especially batteries. I'm so disappointed to give such a bad review to Cityside. Like I wrote earlier, there clearly were a lot of reasons I continued to get my car serviced here. But their policies (or lack there of) do not support the customer and they clearly use bad car parts. What happened to my car this last time threatened my safety, and the lack of any support loses my trust with them. I think I'll check out the MetroWest dealership for the next time my car needs a service. And maybe you should too if you need your Subaru inspected to ensure your own safety when driving.
