I've been buying cars for 40 years. It's worse than going to the dentist, very long and painful. In all my years, I have NEVER had a good experience as I have had recently with Carlos at Freehold Subaru. The first time we went there, I told Carlos exactly what I wanted, with no bullshit. At this point in my life I don't need any bullshit. He got it and delivered. It took 1 hour and I ordered my car. I took delivery of my new car yesterday. It couldn't have gone any smoother. The whole process took 1 hour, that's it. I got the car I wanted, at a reasonable price, I got a big trade-in value on my other car, Carlos was very sweet, knowledgeable, professional...I can't thank him enough for his excellent service. I highly recommend you give Carlos at Freehold Subaru a shot, you won't be disappointed. read more

Let's start with the warning signs that I ignored. Last two oil changes the oil filter and sway bar were not cleaned and took about 1000 miles each time to burn off. How do we know cause my son put it on a lift and saw the mess. I also asked them to check for leak. No leak they said. Tire loses 6 lbs of pressure over 3 weeks. Now the good stuff. I went in for a coolant flush. I decided to change the top radiator hose and thermostat while we had all the coolant out. I asked to have a pressure test and girl at counter said that will be $205 I said forget it and just do the three services and asked if parts were available. She said she would call me back. I actually called parts myself (excellent service all the time) and they said they could hot shot the part if they hurry. That part would have never gotten there because she was going to wait to order. In any event 4 hours later I get a call saying my heater core was leaking. I asked how do you know. Crickets. Obviously I said no to the diagnostics and she left it on the report twice anyway. I said leave the heater core alone and just do the services I asked for. She came back with a bill of over $800 before taxes. How? I spoke to service manager and he billed me out as stand alone jobs. Imagine that. The coolant was already being flushed. All that had to be done was take hose off replace. Maybe 10 minutes if I am being generous. Then to boot, I got billed full time again for thermostat replacement. Again, 15-20 minutes if we are being kind. So if I brought my truck in on three separate days and told them to do all three jobs on separate days I would be billed the same. Another dealer could not believe what I told them who owns 5 by the way. After complaining they basically deducted the diagnostic fee I never authorized cause I never authorized anything til after 12:37PM and I got the call at 11:21AM. Then I said I have a coupon for 10% off and she said ok. She calls back and tells me its done. Give me the price and said I was already discounted can't use the coupon. Billed out over $724.00 with knocking the diagnostics fee off which then would have been over $950. I pick up truck and its covered on the front grill, and side panels, and under the hood with coolant all over the paint. I open the door and plastic cover is still on seat and paper foot pad on the floor. I have spent over $40.00 to get it all cleaned off. I would NEVER go back here for service. The lack of care started at the front desk and continued. I will say that the Parts Department has always been the best part of this place and shout out to them for always coming through for me and my needs but that is where is all stops. Do your homework on the internet and my review is not the first when headlines and then in the first paragraph when searching "Freehold Dodge Complaints" reads poor service department communication, long delays, and aggressive or untruthful sales tactics. Boy that about says it all and sums up my experience on Monday, April 13th. I paid them and walked away but I will it will cost them more than it costs me in the long run. read more

Couldn't be happier with our experience at Freehold Dodge, Ram, Subaru. Tyler and Dylan were great. Tyler generally deals with Subaru but worked very hard on our purchase of a Ram. Dylan I knew from a previous dealership and I couldn't have been happier when I walked in and saw him. He is kind, knowledgeable and does his best to make sure you're confident in your final purchase price. Valerie is the finance manager who thoroughly and kindly explained everything. Thank you to this great team. Will be sure to recommend!! read more

First off, Randy is great. THIS IS A REAL REVIEW. Buying a car in a dealership is something that can be extremely stressful. Dealing with everything from bait and switch tactics to salesmen who will lie to your face. And ofcourse the sneaky finance managers that try to force you to buy worthless extended warranties. Freehold Subaru was NOT like this at all. Randy was pleasant and patient. He went my options with me and was very patient. Not pushy at all. When it came time to financing, I was about to get upfront pricing. There was no fraudulent dealer fees. Overall great dealer experience. read more

Very horrible experience. Horrible customer service, horrible service department. It's funny how, when the owner responds to a comment that you put on there. You can't comment back again. Very horrible, terrible customer service, never buy a car there again. And the only reason why it has a one stars because it won't let you leave zero read more

CAUTION! This is a real review from a real customer. Stay away from this place. I purchased a DodgeRam Van 2500 with extended roof from them. The van had an electrical issue that they hid from me because I live on Long Island and they knew it would be arduous for me to bring it back to Freehold and return to pick it up if they fixed it. The battery would die if the van sat for 2 weeks. Luckily, the dealership on Long Island replaced a component of the computer module that was draining the battery. I would never again buy a vehicle from these weasels at this dealership. To make matters worse, the so called, " manager" read my Google review and responded by asking me to call him. So I did. He did nothing but speak over me and try to disprove my issue. He was no help whatsoever. Lousy business. read more

Of all of my car buying experiences, dealing with Freehold Subaru twice has been the best by far. My son and I went in to buy him a decent used car. Sean was our salesman, he took time to get to know us and what we needed and helped us through the whole process. Brandon was the manager and he was nice to deal with. They even cut me a little discount which I very much appreciated. Another salesman, Eugene, was also hanging around and he was very decent to talk to as well. If you want to go somewhere where they treat you like family, these guys are the place to go. My first experience with them was 12 years ago and although the staff was different, the experience was the same. That says alot about how well they are run and how focused they are on their customers. My next car will be from them as well. read more

Very disappointed how they treat return customers. Was recently at the service department for an oil change and a wheel alignment. Everything was going well until they charged me $130 for an attempted wheel alignment due to some damage under the vehicle. With that said, I will not be giving anymore business to Subaru of Freehold, NJ read more

Just picked up our new Subaru '24 Crosstrek from Freehold Subaru. This is our third vehicle purchased from Freehold Subaru, using our favorite salesperson, Mike Moursey. I can't say enough about how we have been treated. In two words...Like Family! This has been the Subaru experience every time and we are so grateful to Mike for making this purchase, not only easy but exciting as well. Highly recommend this dealership. read more

I switched my service to this Subaru, after being very disappointed, waiting hours at another Subaru Dealer! I went in today for a oil change and filter and a back windshield wiper, they also gave me a complementary car wash. The total came to $143. The mechanic also noted that I had a nail in my back tire and he fixed it for me, I have definitely found a new place for service for my Subaru and the next time I buy will probably be there also. A shout out to Raul for great service a shout out to the Mechanic Everett for being diligent, and even for Miss Melissa at the cashier desk, was pleasant. read more

Oh boy, here we go again, So they send out cards saying that they can replace your car with another, same model, same or more accessories for a few bucks cheaper then what you are paying now. Assuming you are financing. Well I can say that years ago when they did this it was true. I personally know of people that refinanced, cheaper, along with a new car. The world was good. However not now. I was told that the card indicated that it was an estimate quote, so was the older offer, and that it would be more than the card indicated. Instead of going through all the nonsense I was put through, The fix is easy, stop sending out offers to customers that you can't deliver. You are putting your sales people in awkward positions. I understand that due to Biden economics financing is crazy and you can't do what you were able to do years ago, so stop sending out offers!!! False advertising. Fed interest rates are high compared to last time so what the hike are you doing ! As crazy as it sounds, and With all that garbage behind right now I would definitely recommend this dealership for an auto purchase or service, they are really that good. Everyone makes mistakes. The service writers especially are great. But whatever they send you in the mail, be careful. read more

Take a ten year old Legacy with 150,000 miles, mix in a recall appointment and add in a service team that is unyielding in their pursuit of incremental big ticket repairs and I'm left wondering why everyone keeps saying that stand-up comedy is dead. Brought our soon to be traded warhorse in for a recall and was politely informed by the service advisor that the muffler and the rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced for a cool $2,400 plus tax. A nice round number. One question,... given the fact that we're trading it in in a few weeks and your dealership will most likely give us $2,400 for the vehicle regardless, do you mind me asking if the state's election day approval of legal weed is impairing your judgement... "... well we can only tell you what a proper repair with genuine OEM parts and expert labor costs will run you." There's no use arguing since Mr. Roboto is only going to parrot the company line. No acknowledgement of reality, common sense alternatives or the absurdity of such an investment in an almost fully depreciated asset - so we took it to our local shop and had the muffler repaired and and the bearings replaced for $700. Still high but worth it since this modest investment won't kneecap our private sale. No way that I'm trading it in to these pirates. The moral to the story is obvious and the three stars are for sheer audacity. Their ads tell us that Subaru is synonymous with LOVE. If love is synonymous with Glenn Close boiling a rabbit to scare her peccant lover, it sure is. read more

I have just purchased my 4th Subaru from Mike Moursy of Freehold Subaru, and each time has been an excellent car buying experience. The dealership offers the most competitive prices with on time delivery, and Mike is knowledgeable and his follow up is second to none. I highly recommend Mike as your sales representative and Freehold Subaru as the dealership to buy your next Subaru from. Stephen B read more

My experience at Freehold Subaru was outstanding!!! I pretty much did my research in choosing my upgrade, And Brian my sales guy made it a whole lot easier. He was professional & very knowledgeable in explaining the various features that came with this upgrade. The most important thing, He was Patient, He didn't rush me into to anything. I was pretty happy with my old Subaru, But I was missing out on the Safety features that this model has. I'm looking forward in enjoying my new Subaru, And I'm glad I chose this location. read more

After taking my car to a different dealership we ended up getting a 2019 Ram Rebel with all of the options for 36k out the door! I had told the dealership what the freehold dealership said about the car as a courtesy to them and they told me that the dealership was lying just to get the car for a cheaper price. I ended up trading the car in for 3k toward my new truck. read more

The best of the Subaru dealerships in the area! Customers are treated like real people and not just seen as sales to close on the first visit. A few models are indoors to explore outside of the elements, and a wide variety of new and CPO lightly-used vehicles are available for test drive. I would highly recommend Sean Brand to anyone considering a Subaru. He has first hand experience with a few different models and genuinely wants to match you up with the car you need. Unlike other dealerships, he's not an (other brand) driver who just happens to work at a Subaru dealership. He understands Subaru customers lifestyle, whether they are in the market for a larger capacity vehicle, or a more compact ride. Sean went above and beyond in my car search! read more

If you want to be treated fairly and with respect, Freehold Dodge Subaru is the place to go. In one afternoon, I drove my vehicle there, traded it in for a newer model at a very reasonable price, and obtained a loan at the proper interest rate for my credit score. It all took about 3 hours, and I drove home in a clean vehicle with a full tank of gas, insured and registered. I've been driving this vehicle for 2 weeks now, have had no problems, everything works as it should, and it is mechanically sound. My thanks to the great crew I worked with; Steve, Nick, and Brian. read more

I needed a car and they had a certified pre-owned that exceeded my expectations. The entire process, from requesting a test drive through their website, to buying the car was easy and friendly. The car is beautiful and I was thrilled to have been able to drive it away that day. I highly recommend Freehold Subaru if you are in need of a car, especially a pre-owned vehicle. This could not have been an easier process. Thank you. read more

My wife and I spent months debating whether to buy a new car. We talked about the kind of car we needed, looked for cars that had positive reviews and so forth. We finally narrowed it down to Subaru. We contacted multiple Subaru dealers in New Jersey's Monmouth and Ocean counties and visited several. We had a problem though. All the dealers either expressed no interest when we walked into the showroom or stated that they did not have anything before they bid us goodbye. Except for one Subaru dealer. We went to Freehold Subaru and were greeted by Yuliya Shvartsman. Yulia was very friendly, helpful, and informative. Yulia was the standout that was interested in helping us select a car. Yuliya spent her time asking us questions and explaining features to understand what we were looking for. Yuliya got a Crosstrek, Outback and Forester for us to inspect and ask questions. We finally drove the Forester and ended up negotiating a deal with Yulia. When we picked up our car we were met by John DePalma, Freehold Subaru's Delivery Specialist. John spent a great deal of time with us reviewing the Forester's features to make sure that we were comfortable with the car. John offered to spend additional time with us if we needed to return with additional questions. We found both Yuliya and John to be that refreshingly friendly, helpful, and informative change from every other dealer's staff who lacked any interest or congeniality. Now we have had the opportunity to experience the Freehold Subaru service team. They did not disappoint us. Our experience at Freehold Subaru has been a positive experience all around and I recommend them wholeheartedly. read more

DO NOT SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE HERE. I recently moved away and the next Subaru Dealer I went to to get service stated they stripped a bolt and lug nut when rotating tires. I called them to attempt to come to a solution and their solution was for me to drive three states back to them to have them look at it. This Subaru dealer does not take responsibility for their screw ups and WILL DAMAGE YOUR CAR. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I'm now consider legal action against them for their failure to correct and make right the damage they caused. Again, if you like and value your car, stay away from Freehold Subaru. read more

What a superb team of employees here. Steve Boyce the GM had me sit with Mike Moursy who guided me through the entire process with such professionalism. He knows his stuff for sure, he explained all the wonderful outstanding safety features about my Crosstrek. I feel so safe in this vehicle and I am so happy ! I highly recommend this dealership. B.

Brought my first Subaru this past week. Every Subaru driver I know told me they would never go back. After having the car for just a few days I understand why. Love this car! And the best part is the dealership was great to work with. Lester Soto took the time to help me and explained everything. He made buying the car quick and easy. With no pressure. Thank you Freehold Subaru and Lester!!!! read more

Really great experience purchasing a certified pre-owned 2021 Subaru Forrester at Freehold Subaru. Our sales associate Yuliya Shvartsman was terrific. Very professional and courteous. She communicated promptly with us and all the paperwork was ready when we picked up the car. The car was clean and pretty well detailed. We felt the price was competitive. We would definitely buy from this dealership again. read more

An absolute disappointment. Like many car dealerships, the sales reps at Freehold Subaru try to pressure you into the sale by rushing you through important questions. I don't need many fancy features in my car, but one thing that is very important to me is hooking my phone up to bluetooth so that the car displays the song that I am playing through my phone. I didn't think to ask if this feature was included, because ya know, it's 2018. Turns out, Subaru had a glitch in this particular '18 Forrester model and the sales person neglected to tell me this. This is something that I'm sure they were well aware of. Now there is absolutely nothing that they can to do fix it. Very unfair for this to happen to a paying customer, especially with such a high priced item. This is a car... it's not like buying a sweater at the mall. I was much happier when I leased a Toyota from Freehold Toyota. The bluetooth did not have any glitches and oil changes and tire rotations were included in the lease (as they should be). Luckily I don't own my Subaru, it's just a lease. As soon as this lease is up I'll be headed straight back to Toyota. read more

Second time buying a car from from Lester. Great experience all around. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a Subaru.

Overall an incredible buying experience. Unlike other dealerships in the current market they are not inflating the price of the new cars. I went and hoping to purchase a new truck. I had a very specific budget and knew what I wanted to get and hoped I could afford it. After working some magic we found the perfect vehicle which was exactly what I needed and everything I wanted at a price I could afford. After we determined everything was approved and good the sales manager asked me when what I like to take it. Implying I didn't have to take it at that moment if I wasn't ready to. I responded by saying I think now would be a good time. They filled it with gas and got it cleaned up and I was out of there about 45 minutes later. I do not believe I will ever purchase a vehicle from anyone else. read more

Just got a new 2023 Forester on Monday, and we worked with Yuliya Shvartsman. Our experience was great and super easy! We walked into the dealership a little after 3pm, and were done with the entire transaction by 6pm. Amazing!! Yuliya took the time to share tons of helpful tips about the new vehicle and the Subaru app. She answered questions we didn't even know we had! She is thorough, patient, friendly, and fun. She even installed all-weather floor mats for us, while we were doing paperwork. Everyone else we interacted with was also great. No pressure to buy, and supportive and helpful with all our questions. Highly recommended!! read more

After one phone conversation I can tell this is a place I would definitely NOT do business with. In a world where most things are done online, I put in my application for a car yesterday and then messaged the dealer again this morning to see when I would find out if I was approved only to be rudely told there was someone physically on the premises that takes precedent even though my application was in first. When I asked why it mattered since they have this online option on their website, I wasn't really given an answer other than "there is someone physically here". I have already driven the kind of car so I didn't need to test drive and I live far away, which is why I was going to do everything online. So even though they had everything they needed from me to move forward already, they decided to disregard that and give someone else first shot at the car. Seems very sketchy so I would advise against doing business with a place like this. Person's name was Ira who I had an unpleasant conversation with on the phone. read more

Friday I got my 3rd Subaru from Brian Hynes! He has taken care of me for the past 6 (almost 7) years. He got me my first subaru at 17 after I broke my first car down and my parents decided I needed something more reliable. I am almost 24 now and this time everything is in my own name. He makes everything easy and painless. He is the only person I trust to get me what I need and has never let me down! Thank you Brian! read more

Called to schedule an appt to have my 2015 Subaru Forrester repaired. Been bringing for service for more than 5 years. First time I ever asked for a loaner since I knew the car was going to be there for some time that day. Was informed that loaners were only available for customers that purchased their vehicle at that dealership. Don't say "loaners available" if they aren't. I guess service doesn't count. Did they ever think that with an 8 year old car that I might be in the market for a new car? Not really good customer relations. read more

Our sales consultant was Carlos Ramos and he was very professional and knowledgeable. He made every effort to find my car. He isn't your typical car salesman. Carlos wasn't pushy at all and made the entire process so smooth. He took the time to explain all the options and was very thorough. Highly recommend Carlos to anyone who wants a Subaru. He is one of the BEST sales consultant I've had the pleasure buying a car from. read more

DO NOT HAVE YOUR SUBARU SERVICED HERE ! - I have had leased 2016 and 2019 Foresters serviced here seven times. All were routine service at 6 months/6,000 miles. They managed to screw up four of the seven services. The first debacle, involving ripping the oil drain plug bung off the oil pan is detailed in an earlier review below. At that service, they apparently screwed up the oil level sensor, because the "LOW OIL" light kept coming on, even though oil was at the correct level. At the next service I told them about the oil light. They said they would "take a look at it". They never did, had no explanation why not, so for the remaining six months of the lease I drove staring at the low oil light. Leased a 2019 from same dealer, and incompetence continues. First oil change they grossly over-filled the oil. They charged for 6 quarts, when the Owner's Manual says 4.4 quarts for oil+filter changed. Took it back and complained. At first they insisted it really takes 6 quarts, but finally agreed to do it over. Wrote "fill with 4.4 quarts per Owner's Manual" on the service order, performed at no cost. Got home, let the car sit overnight on level surface, checked oil and once again, over-filled by more the 1-inch on the dipstick. Wrote a letter, certified mail/return receipt to Subaru headquarters, copy to Freehold Subaru. Never received the courtesy of a response from either. Will (hopefully) find a competent dealer for remainder of lease. And given the indifference of Subaru headquarters, will NEVER buy another Subaru. read more

I am so happy with my third experience buying a Subaru at this dealership. Sean Brand is an amazing salesman to work with - he "gets it" and does not try to sell you something that doesn't make sense for your needs. I never felt like I was being taken advantage of or that I'd have to shop around, because I trust this dealership from the start. Will definitely return for our next car when the time comes! read more

We just leased a new Subaru Forester from Freehold Subaru. Mark Moursy was our car dealer and he could not have been more helpful. We did not expect to drive home with a new car the day we stopped by. We were just getting to the end of our lease for our 3 year old crosstrek and wanted to know our options before turning it back in. As returning customers, Mark was able to discuss everything based on what we put down last time as well as our monthly payments. He made everything clear to understand and to compare options. I wish all of our decisions were this easy! The other staff members we dealt with to complete our purchase were just as helpful. Thank you Freehold Subaru! read more

Freehold Subaru told me I had no equity in my lease return and that I would have to put $2500 out of pocket for a new lease. Well, I went to another Subaru dealership and they told me I had $3400 in equity and would need zero out-of-pocket for a new lease, plus my monthly payment was $55 cheaper than Freehold Subaru. I highly suggest that people do their homework and check with their banks to see how much equity they have before going to a dealership. The fact that they tried to rob me of $5900 for a lease is just ridiculous. read more

This was my second vehicle that I have leased from Freehold Subaru and the second time that I have had the pleasure of working with Brian.

I bought my car at another Subaru dealership. I came to this one for service because at the time it was closer to me. While waiting, the service manager comes to tell me I need to have 3 light bulbs changed! The lights were fine until I came to this place. My car was still under warranty for the engine part, so they didn't screw that. Then, months later, I realized they screwed up my both my back doors! They could not be opened from inside. Don't take your car there for service. They will screw it up! read more
