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.

I scheduled an appointment as well. I brought in my 2021 Toyota Supra for a second pre-purchase inspection for extra reassurance since Carvana offers a 7-day return policy. Rene gave me helpful pointers and general maintenance information about the Supra, including what to expect during ownership. He also explained that I would receive pictures from the inspection, which I really appreciated. The inspection cost $250 and took about 2 hours. Afterward, I received both a text and email with the inspection results and recommendations. Rene also shared that he regularly partners with local shops for car inquiries and refers customers to specialists when needed, which showed me that they care about getting people the right help. The front entrance has a smaller waiting area with movies playing, which made the wait more comfortable. One helpful note for first-time visitors: when entering the lot, the main entrance is to the left rather than straight ahead. I accidentally drove toward the back at first, but someone from the smog shop next door kindly redirected me. Overall, the experience was great. I felt comfortable with the service, communication, and professionalism, and I would definitely return to 395 Auto & Performance in the future.

I'm usually not a big fan of dealing with mechanic shops. It can be a hassle trying to find someone…read moreyou can trust, especially with concerns about being overcharged, unnecessary repairs, or having work done without the actual root cause of the problem being identified. I was referred to Temecula Accurate Auto Care through AAA, and before taking my vehicle in, I spent some time reading their reviews. Based on my experience, I can see why they have so many positive ones. My vehicle was having an issue related to the fuel pump. They took the time to properly diagnose the problem, explained what was going on, and made the necessary repair. I really appreciated that they focused on identifying the actual issue rather than just throwing parts at the problem or recommending work that wasn't needed. The final cost did come in a little higher than the initial estimate, but I think it's important to be fair about that. An estimate is exactly that--an estimate. Sometimes additional costs come up once a mechanic gets into the actual repair and sees exactly what is needed. Personally, I don't think it's fair to penalize a business simply because an estimate ends up being a little higher than originally expected, especially when the work is done properly and the issue is actually resolved. I've been driving the car for the past few days since getting it back, and so far it has been running great with no issues. At the end of the day, that's what matters most to me: the problem was properly diagnosed, repaired, and the vehicle is running the way it should. I'm glad AAA referred me to Temecula Accurate Auto Care. Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and reliable mechanic.
