Let's just go ahead and wedge the completely wrong wiper here, and send the car out like this . The customer will never notice
Will N.

I scheduled a service appointment at Hello Subaru Temecula for my wife's Subaru Ascent and it turned into one problem after another, with zero confidence-inspiring ownership from the service department. This visit was for the 60,000 mile service, which is not cheap (around $1,300). When I booked the appointment over the phone, I was very clear about what I wanted and did not want. As part of the package they include a battery cleaning, and I specifically said I did not need that. The person who set the appointment assured me everything was noted so the team would be ready when I dropped the car off. When I arrived, there were no notes. They had me down for an oil change only. I had to walk them through everything again at check-in. That eventually got sorted out, but it was also the first sign that what was promised on the phone did not translate into actual execution. During the service they sent me the inspection video, which was appreciated. They flagged the rear diff cross member as needing replacement. What bothered me was that nobody checked whether it should be covered under warranty until I brought it up. Once I pushed, it was confirmed and handled under warranty. That did not feel proactive or customer-focused. It felt like they were perfectly happy to see if I would pay for it unless I caught it. Pickup was where things really fell apart. When I went to pay, the total was about $1,000 higher than what I had been quoted. After spending time reviewing it, they eventually realized they were double charging labor. That is not a minor mistake. If I had not pushed back, I have no doubt I would have been overcharged. Then they brought the car around and the rear wiper was visibly wrong and jammed. It was wedged between the glass and the trim because they installed the wrong size wiper and forced it to fit. This was obvious at a glance, which tells me there was no real quality check before handing the car back. At that point, the bigger issue became trust. If something as visible as a rear wiper can be installed incorrectly and sent out the door, how am I supposed to have confidence in the rest of the work that I cannot easily verify? Did they change the cabin and engine air filters? If so, were they the correct ones? Did they replace fluids that were part of what I paid for? I honestly do not know, and that is the problem. The service manager's response was essentially "sorry," with no real attempt to reassure me that the service was done correctly or explain what quality control they have in place. When you stack it all up, it is a mess from start to finish. Appointment details not documented, intake not aligned, warranty coverage not proactively checked, an attempted overcharge due to double labor, and an incorrect part installed with no QA. I left with no confidence in the service department. Unfortunately, this is part of a broader pattern we have seen across Subaru dealerships, not just here. On a prior service at a different dealer, we had an upper oil pan gasket replaced under warranty, which required pulling the engine. It was done incorrectly and had to be redone shortly after, which resulted in nearly three weeks without the car. Between experiences like that and what happened at Hello Subaru Temecula, we have lost confidence in Subaru service overall. We have owned four Subarus. Between this and other subpar dealer service experiences, this will be our last. I cannot recommend Hello Subaru Temecula service, and I would strongly suggest going elsewhere if you value accurate billing, basic quality control, and confidence that the work you pay for is actually done correctly.

My new 2026 Subaru Outback with a new "Deep Emerald Green Pearl" color.

Although I live in Indio, I decided to lease a new Outback here instead of Palm Springs Subaru. I especially appreciated the great service and communication that I received from Sales Representative, Isaiah Batton. He and I were able to do much of our negotiation remotely, by text and email, which saved me a lot of wasted time sitting around at the dealership. Isaiah was honest and I had no surprises when I went in to finalize my deal on a new Outback. I'm very satisfied with my new Outback.

9 services declined.

"Hello Subaru" in Temecula sold me a 2011 Forester 2.5x 4 months ago and tried to hit me with upwards of 2300$ in recommended services when I brought it in for an oil change. The car was sold with 123K miles and I brought it in at 128k. These are the charges that they reccomended...$515 for spark plugs, $300 for CVT fluid drain and fill. $270 for power steering flush. $320 for differential drain and fill. $228 for fuel induction service. $211 brake flush. $45 for one freakin' rear windshield wiper blade. $315 for serpentine belt. $90 for cabin air filter. You'd think they would see I just bought the car before they try to rob me, or have some sort of communication if these services were done already (probably not). Then I tried to contact the sales manager Jose who said he would send me a detailed list of what was done to the car when it was bought by them which I have yet to receive. If it needs a serpentine belt now, it needed it then... If it needs a 100k mile full service then it should have been done when they had it 4 months ago too. I take damn good care of my car and paid 9k for a 2011 with a bunch of dings just for the peace of mind of a warranty from the dealership. They should have at least serviced the car with all these recommended services 5k miles ago when they were trying to sell it. I hope the manager contacts me when they read this. I'm super disappointed that I gave them my money.

Safe products for my New Ride

How much does an oil change cost?

I'm in search of cheap stock/used parts so I can remove my aftermarket parts from my 08 WRX. Does this dealership have old parts laying around for sale?

Sorry, we only sell New Parts.

Sorry Fletcher Jones, you've been dethroned as king!…read more So what do we look for in a car buying experience? Most of us dread going to the wolves' den. We know what we want, and roughly what we're gonna pay, and all we can hope for is we don't get a piranha when we get to the dealership. We don't want to go back and forth, we don't want to be there for hours while you "try to fight for me with your managers", and yes, we know you're making money if you make a deal. If you tell me you're taking a loss on my deal, I leave. I've bought maybe 25-30 cars in my life. Had a relatively good experience buying a Mercedes, thought that was the pinnacle of car sales. Enter Temecula Valley Toyota. There aren't enough stars on yelp. Sometimes, that euphoric feeling when you buy a new car is usually blunted by the fact that you could have gotten a better deal, and the bad taste of the back and forth. I've NEVER actually felt good and 100 percent confident about my purchase until my visit here. My first Toyota. I actually had FUN and was RELAXED buying this car! The first price I was offered after they "ran the numbers" was actually lower than I was expecting for the first time ever. Even the finance phase, where dealerships try to squeeze in all the extras on your payment, was on point. No surprises! Everything is basically included, and stress free! If you're looking at a Toyota, I promise you that you're not going to have a better experience than TVT. Make SURE you ask for Nicholas "Nick" R. (even better, do a lot of the groundwork on the internet first) for a completely no hassle experience. 10 stars!

It's been a long time comin' and it was time to let my beloved V8 Big Bertha move on to her next life. My life has changed in the last 13 years, and so the need to downsize became a priority. I worked with Moises Nunez. I wish I could give him 5 stars, but I had to take one off only because I didn't get the truck I originally wanted. He sent me a picture of the Wind Chill Pearl TRD Sport and I said I would return in a few weeks for it. We'll, but the time I came back it was sold! =( I was really bummed, and I also had a list of things I wanted. He did make up for it, though, so it's going to be a solid 4 stars from me. I ended up with my second choice, which is the Heritage Blue. It I had the money, I would not have thought twice about the beautiful Wave Maker Blue TRD Pro!! I just drool over it, lol. So I ended up leasing the vehicle since I wanted options, and I may want to get a different vehicle altogether by the time this lease is up. Moises did tell me I could come back sooner if I wanted to and he would have my white truck!! Lol I said I'd hold him to that, haha! The process went smoothly and even though it was a rough start at the financing office, I was in and out in under 30 minutes. I had an appointment in San Diego and they worked quickly to get the paperwork done so that I could leave. They were even gracious enough to give me a loaner to go to my appointment ao that I wouldn't add more miles to my SUV. Overall, I am happy with my new truck. They gave me a sweet deal I couldn't pass up. It came with running boards, but I didn't like them so I found a pair online and brought it back ti the dealership where Moises himself put them on for me. Now THAT is great customer service!! One last thing I requested was a blue bow (because everyone always has a red bow) to be on my truck when they delivered it to me. They came through!!! Haha! I will definitely do business here again when the time comes! Thank you to Moises and the team here at Temecula Valley Toyota!

While visiting my children in Southern California from Washington State, the transmission in my…read morenearly new Chevy Silverado 2500HD Duramax failed with only about 25,000 miles on it. Needless to say, having a major transmission failure that early--especially while hundreds of miles from home--was extremely frustrating. Thankfully, I was able to get the truck to Paradise Chevrolet, and I cannot say enough good things about how they treated me. From the beginning, Paradise Chevrolet stepped up to help. They helped get me into a rental vehicle while I was in town and continued working with me after I had to return home to Washington. When Chevrolet's warranty process would not cover my rental expenses the way I expected, Paradise Chevrolet went above and beyond and actually reimbursed me themselves. They did not have to take responsibility for Chevrolet's shortcomings, but they chose to take care of their customer anyway. That says a lot about a dealership and the people running it. I would 100% recommend Paradise Chevrolet based on the customer service I received. They took a very frustrating situation and did everything within their control to make it better. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about my experience with Chevrolet itself. This was my first Chevy, and having a Silverado 2500HD Duramax suffer a major transmission failure at only 25,000 miles has seriously damaged my confidence in the brand. I had owned the truck for over two years, but it was basically a "princess truck" that spent much of its life sitting in my driveway and certainly was not abused. Between such an early major mechanical failure and my disappointment with Chevrolet's warranty support, I would have a very difficult time recommending a Chevy or purchasing another one. But Paradise Chevrolet? Absolutely. They earned my respect and my recommendation. Great customer service, great communication, and most importantly, they stepped up when I needed them.

I made an appt and receive a call as they ask me to change my appt from 930 to 730.. i had to shuffle things around to make sure I can accommodate the new time In the email for the service appt they have an email for the service department. I email them with my appt confirmation for my corvette telling them I can accommodate the 730 appt time. Also on the phone call I ask for pricing so I am aware what the out the door cost is. I get a round about estimate not a breakdown. (Website interaction) I don't have the ability to use a phone at work due to security, so I used the website chat / messaging to clearly ask for the price breakdown of the services for my corvette. (As I did not find pricing on their website) these are typical services that you would get for your car. I enter my information CLEARLY asking for pricing of services. I get bombarded by salesmen trying to sell me a car. This is why I don't like entering my phone number as now I am on paradises list to call. I show up at the dealership at 7 to drop off my car and my appt is for 930 and I am told to wait 10 minutes for an advisor while I watch 7 cars get taken care of. While I am waiting I call the Lake Elsinore dealership and schedule service for next month as its tool late to ask for it that same day. As a consumer all I wanted was an appt, the time that I was asked to try to accommodate, and pricing before I get there. I work 6-6 and am in a secure area so email is preferred communication. I know this is a military town so not everyone has the use of cell phones at their job. I am one of them. I will be buying a car in 2027, I think this dealer or even brand is off my list.

My husband wanted a specific model in a specific color ("Ether," I think?), so it had to be custom ordered from Japan and shipped to California. He had been working with John Cunningham, who gave him frequent updates about the status of the car from its time in the factory all the way to its delivery to the dealership. Already, it felt like John was putting in a lot of work for us. When it came time to the actual purchase, John was extremely professional and kind, but was also upfront with everything. Then, the transition from sales to finance was extremely smooth with very little wait time. Despite having a lot on his plate, Christiano Valencia from finance was extremely accommodating and also very upfront - he did not try to saddle us with unnecessary add-ons or anything like that. He was authentic and honest, AND he gave us very helpful advice on things to get and what to avoid should we ever have to buy another new car in the future. All in all, we left the dealership with our brand new car and my husband is such a happy camper. Despite us having to drive 100+ miles to this particular dealership, I really felt it was worth it based on our experience. Both John and Christiano are professionals of the highest caliber and I am so grateful to have been able to work with them. 10/10 would recommend.

We recently had an issue that could have easily turned into a very frustrating situation, but Chad Sobek completely changed the experience with the way he handled it. He listened to our concerns, took the situation seriously, communicated with us professionally, and went genuinely above and beyond to make things right. There was no runaround, no trying to minimize the situation, and no feeling like we were being brushed off. He simply stepped up, took responsibility for getting everything resolved, and made sure we left feeling taken care of. What impressed me most was that Chad didn't just do the bare minimum. He made a real effort to restore our confidence in the dealership, and that kind of customer service is becoming increasingly rare. The way a business responds when something doesn't go perfectly says a lot more about them than when everything goes smoothly, and Chad absolutely delivered. I also want to recognize Patty at the front desk/reception. Every time we've dealt with her she has been incredibly kind, welcoming, and pleasant to talk to. She's one of those people who immediately makes the dealership feel more personable and less transactional. I really appreciate both Chad and Patty for the way they treat customers. DCH Honda of Temecula is fortunate to have people like them representing the dealership. Because of how Chad handled our situation and the consistently great treatment we've received from Patty, I'm leaving this review with a very positive impression of the team. Thank you again, Chad and Patty. You both genuinely made a difference. Highly recommend. DCH Honda has earned mine and my families permanent business.

I was provided with a chart of different APRs and rebates, none of which were the offer posted on the website.

It will be illegal for KIA Temecula to post misleading advertisements such as this going forward.

10 STARS FOR CHRIS BENNETT!!!…read more Alrighty, yall ready for a story?! So a couple months ago, I originally had my Jeep towed to the Elsinore dealership. After dealing with the horrible customer service there (I USED TO WORK THERE IN SERVICE) I asked them not to touch my car and not to go further and I would be towing it out. I show up Friday to tow it out. They have it in a bay and I asked them to release it to a tow truck. It was all in text and writing so not my problem that they don't listen to direction. To top it off, the following Monday the advisor they called me and said he needed more time with my vehicle... My vehicle was towed out the previous Friday... Way to keep track of what you're doing. I towed it to Temecula to Chris Bennett!! I had my water pump repaired for over $800 at Elsinore about six months prior. She has overheated quite a bit... (4 times now in her 6 years) Backstory, I have a 2020 2.0 wrangler with 140,000 miles now, no extended warranty. Lifted on 35s but no recalibration. No engine modifications. When I say Chris went to battle for me, I cannot stress enough on how amazing his customer service skills were and are. I will forever recommend him and I am back now to do my first oil change on my brand new engine that he was able to cover under consequential damage warranty from my water pump going out. Yes, she was in the shop for just over a month. But it's all worth it. I did have to prove my maintenance records, and again like I said earlier, I did used to work for a Jeep dealer so I do know how to take care of my vehicle. But patience is definitely a key and taking care of your cars in the right way can definitely help. And Chris is the best service advisor on the planet!!!! Thank you Chris for taking care of Sally girl. We are forever in your debt!

Formal Complaint -- Jeep Service Department (DCH TEMECULA)…read more To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally complain about the extremely poor service I received from the Jeep service department at DCH TEMECULA. I wish there were a zero-star option. I believed returning to the dealership--especially since I purchased my vehicle there--would be the best choice. Instead, I was treated as though my business did not matter. Details of the Issue 1) Lack of communication after drop-off After I dropped my vehicle off, there was absolutely no communication. I had to call multiple times, and I repeatedly reached voicemail. No one returned my calls, so I was forced to keep calling until I finally reached someone. 2) Unhelpful and unprofessional customer service My service representative (I will not name names) seemed uneducated and blamed me for the issue. The service manager demonstrated zero customer service skills, and because my vehicle is not under warranty, he made it clear he could not care less about helping me. 3) $245 charge with no timely resolution I was charged $245 to be told what I already brought my vehicle in for--only to then be told the issue could not be fixed for at least 45-60 days because parts were unavailable. This was presented as "blamed the world," which I found highly unprofessional. 4) Ongoing concern about vehicle safety I was left without meaningful help or guidance and was essentially left to figure out what to do next. I am still unsure whether my Jeep is safe to drive. I also do not know whether this is a broader or national issue, as no one provided clear answers or support. Requested Action & Next Steps Given the lack of communication, the unhelpful service response, and the 45-60 day delay due to unavailable parts--after charging me $245--I am escalating this matter. My next letter will be to Jeep corporate, the Better Business Bureau, and my legal counsel. I will never return to, or recommend, DCH TEMECULA again.
