If/when my family and friends want to buy a car I'll steer them to Paul Bushnell at Lithia Subaru. He made my car buying experience, pleasant, calm, entertaining. I did not feel pressured into anything I didn't want and the financing portion of the experience went smoothly (thanks to Michael too!). Paul is knowledgeable and fun and left me feeling like I was making a safe and smart purchase. If you see me around town in a new white Crosstrek give me the Subaru wave and I'll wave back. read more

Oil change without upselling---who knew? Reset service light and added nitrogen to tires as needed---only ding: car was not washed. Very pleased to be updated as appropriate...I did wait for my Subie and it was done in time promised! read more

I worked with Sunny on a vehicle lease this past weekend and he was awesome. Friendly, easy to talk to, no pressure, and let me kick as many tires as I wanted. Paul was also great and easy to talk to during the sales process. Jozsef was quick to show me various options and provide a best and final offer. Evan was quick and efficient during the paperwork process, answered questions in their entirety, and let me know if anything strange might pop up and how we'd handle. Overall great buying experience. read more

Received the comment from the manager and emailed him right away to discuss my experience.... And big shocker.. NO RESPONSE! If you're looking for good communication this place doesn't have it. read more

I was told that there WAS no charge as I was buying $1600 worth of accessories plus installation fees and it would take 6 hrs. (not including the wait time) to install and would get a free loaner. Now they want to charge me $121 to rent a car for 24 hrs. WTF ????? read more

My son recently bought his first car from this dealership. There were a few hiccups, which resulted in us having to drive to Reno twice in two days from Gardnerville, which was pretty disappointing to my son to not be able to drive his new car home for two days in a row, but in the end they made it right, and ended up driving the car to our home to personally deliver it. We would really like to praise Mike from the finance team for really going above and beyond and providing excellent customer service. He worked very hard to make sure we ended up leaving happy. If it weren't for him, we probably would have just walked away from the deal, so kudos to Mike! read more

Lithia Reno Subaru - Enjoying his Jeep - Car Dealers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Had great service here no doubt. Didn't feel they tried to add anything unnecessary when I went in with my daughter for her first service experience. Although $168 for oil change and tire rotation definitely taught my daughter why we change our own oil. read more

100% think the oil change here is worth it only because I purchased oil change for life with the vehicle. Their prices for services even dignostics are so insanely high. Also they don't seem to prioritize making an appointment with people who drop off randomly. I just waited 2.5 hours for a oil change I had an appointment for. read more

Actually EVERYTHING went well! From my salesman Paul Bushnell , to my car teacher Devon Thomas & even the final finance guy ! I wish I had received a survey , I could only do a yelp. I tell everyone how great Subarus are & how great Lithia Subaru treats their customers! I just LOVE my new forester !!!! read more

Lithia Reno Subaru - 26 Subaru Forester - Car Dealers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is the 3rd time I come here for an Oil Change and Tire Rotation on my Subaru Outback and every time, the service has been outstanding. Actually, the whole experience was on another level today. I've never made an appointment. I just come in and wait at the Express Line and never had a problem. Today, I had a very short wait in my car, before one of the employees approached me and gave me a service Invoice to head inside. In prior visits, they processed the request for service outside by my car, but now, it all gets done inside the shop. Inside, there were various employees helping to check-in customers, so it all flowed very quickly. I was helped by Jennifer. She was very nice, gave me an estimate and told me it would be one to one and a half hours. I was o.k. with the wait, but recieved a call after 40 minutes, notifying me my car was ready. The whole process was very efficient and everyone was extremely nice and helpful. There is also a very nice waiting area with plenty of chairs. There are also drinks available, which is a nice touch. I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews, but I personally think this place does a great job! read more

Lithia Reno Subaru - No appointment needed for service at Lithia Reno Subaru. Excellent Customer Service. - Car Dealers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Really surprised to see the low rating on this dealership! I went through the online program and bought my car with no issues. I worked with Tom, BJ, and Evan in finance. I'd have to say they all followed through really well on their word and helped me every step of the way. It was a very easy process and they are very good at communicating with me on every step of the way. During the finance process, I did have a question for Evan, and he was so diligent and looking into it and did follow up if there was any issues. I think he even went above and beyond and help me with a service that was not even in his department. I know buying a car is not for everyone, especially not for me, but Lithia Subaru made it a great experience and I would highly recommend them. read more

Had an appointment for 10:30. They do not honor appointments. Let walk in ahead. Will be here for over 2 hours. I never had this issue before. They should advise the people how long the wait. I was told about an hour. Very poor customer service. read more

Once upon a February 2025... (real life story) We called Lithia Reno Subaru first to ask about some major repairs--turns out we needed a full engine replacement. From that first phone call, we were met with professionalism, honesty, and zero pressure. Richie, our service rep, was helpful from the jump. He explained everything in a way that made sense, kept us updated the whole time, and treated us with genuine care and respect. You could tell he actually cared about the customer experience, not just getting the job done. When we got to the dealership, we were pleasantly surprised. The waiting area was super clean, they had good coffee and cold bottled water, and the vibe was friendly and relaxed. No pushy sales talk, no weird pressure--just good service. Even though our car "Luanne" is a 2014, we were treated like we brought in a brand-new model. They even gave us a brand-new loaner car, which made everything easier on us while the work was being done. Now that she's back, Luanne is running like a dream. Huge thank you to Richie and everyone at Lithia Reno Subaru--you made a stressful repair feel easy. We're seriously grateful. read more

Excellent customer service! I came in on 8-15-2025 to have my vehicle serviced. I dealt with Jerry Saladis and he was very polite and friendly, and the entire process went smoothly! It's really nice dealing with people when they have a great demeanor, it makes me want to tell others about the business and return for service as well. Thank you read more

Lithia Reno Subaru - 2021 Subaru Crosstrek - Car Dealers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Pulled my car out of this dealership after getting a quote that was more than double what other shops were charging for the same repair. They wanted $1,475 to replace the radiator and both radiator hoses on my Subaru. I ended up having the job done in Carson City for $575 out the door. They tried to take advantage, but I made a few calls and got other bids. You should do the same--don't just accept what the dealership tells you. Always compare. Also, $200 an hour labor rate... for a Subaru? That's outrageous. Even Mercedes and BMW dealers charge less. Subaru makes good cars, but let's be real--they're not in the same class as German luxury brands. read more

Please take your business elsewhere. I am leasing a 2024 Solterra and I have had nothing but problems with this dealership. Their vehicle has had so many faults and they have been unable to repair the issue. I am to the point where I feel like a crazy person because of how they make me feel. I even feel guilty going to the car shop even when it's not my fault. Please go lease elsewhere and take your business to a company that values your hard earned money but most importantly you, the customer read more

Seniors Beware: I have dealt with their Sales, Service, and Parts departments. The only one I sort of trust is the Parts department. Sales and Service are not trustworthy. They'll tell you one thing and then do another. Since there aren't any other dealerships nearby, you might not have much choice if you want a new Subaru, but be careful. You're not going to get a good deal on the car because during negotiations, you'll get the runaround (Remember, all that drama is just acting, lying to your face). The Service department is especially sketchy. I've been charged for work they didn't even do, and you could end up waiting for hours for something that shouldn't take nearly that long. I even overheard a sales member coaching another not to "ask" customers if they "want" a service, but to just "tell" customers they're 'overdue' for it instead. If you do go there, be very cautious and question everything they say and do. They will engage you in doublespeak. Proceed as if they are lying to you, chances are...they are. There are way too many negative reviews to ignore. read more

I've been serving my Subaru's at Reno Lithia Subaru for years Always on time Always friendly courteous service couldn't be happier even on a Saturday morning. I'm in and out. Thank you so much, Reno Subaru read more

You team needs to get their stuff together! This is the 3rd time I call to make an appointment for a Saturday, and I am told that I dont need an appointment and can just come in. I drive in from Truckee at 8am, Saturday, and get turned away. I am told I need an an appointment and sometime they can take walk ins?!?This is so frustrating. Not to mention your website says no appointments needed. Terrible customer service. Just when you think you guys are improving and actually care about your customers, then shit hits the fan all over again. read more

Lithia Reno Subaru - No Appointment Necessary for Oil Changes - Car Dealers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Back for my 90,000 mile check and it was refreshing that the service writer was honest and said that since I took it in last year for a larger and more detailed service, nothing needed to get done just yet. Got off easy this time and more favorable stars for such honesty. Stopped in to look at the 2023 Ascent. Beautiful car and the price is not too bad. Going to keep that in mind when I decide to bite the bullet and get me a new car. I liked that I got no pressure from the sales person. I am very happy with my current Subaru and have had it for 7 years now. I like how it drives and it's reliability. Very positive Subaru experience this morning with setting an appointment on the internet and so on, mentioned above! read more

Lithia Reno Subaru - Love this car - Car Dealers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

See all

It was time to get another car to add to the one we had and our truck. I don't always like driving the truck around town and warming it up when it is cold out. I used to own a Subaru Legacy that I loved so I decided to buy a Subaru. The Salesmen gave us lots of information to make a good decision. We were originally looking at a 2.5 L Crosstrek but after driving that and the Forester there was no comparison. The Forester was roomier and fun to drive. It really had power and some get-up-and-go. We went with the Limited trim level and it just fit us well. I like the fact the dealership was not pushy nor were the two salesmen we dealt with. We looked inside and talked with them about the two vehicles and then decided to go home and think about it. We made an appointment to drive both a couple days later. We both got to drive each one and we knew the Forester was for us. We asked lots of questions and they gave us a print out on the breakdown of costs so we could get a better idea of what we were willing to pay for and the items we did not need. The only part that was not clear was the out-the-door price that I was given did not include the doc fee and taxes and add-ons. I think that should have been included because it added several grand to the final price. The financial person was good and easy to deal with, just a pleasant personality. We had two Salesmen, Bardia who was a pleasure to deal with. Then he passed us to Troy, helpful in every way. Troy helped us after the sale to set up the tech stuff and answers all our questions when we text him. He doesn't drop you after the sale as he like to make sure you know all the features of the vehicle. I don't normally like going to a lot to buy a vehicle but I would not hesitate to buy here again. I will do an update as we get our new vehicle serviced. Thanks, Lithia Reno Subaru. read more

Update - we bought this car for my daughter. She took it on a road trip to so cal, and the Valve Body went out. So another 3k spent on this thing. Then about a month ago, the tie rods failed. Seriously, go somewhere else for a used car. read more

They sell you lifetime oil changes when you buy cars from them. Bottom line is their oil changes take around 3 hours (with an appointment!) this is not expectable at all. I do not recommend getting the lifetime oil change when buying cars from here. read more

I was between a rock and a hard place while on a cross-country road trip. My old Subaru needed work and had basically hit money pit status. I decided to look into getting a new vehicle while at Lithia Subaru and James Cloer was a great help and was amazing. Helped me through the process (i'm a first time new car buyer), and helped me get through the stressful situation and on my way. Really recommend James and the rest of the Lithia staff. read more

After my poor poor experience at Carson city Toyota I headed back to Reno to Subaru. Was a totally different experience! Very refreshing to say the least! I had bought a car there previously and Subaru's are good well made cars . I had an appointment with Tom ; who I talked to briefly to get my info as what I was looking for and my trade in etc. He then called over another knowledgeable professional salesman BJ who went over my info and we went over what I was looking for and other deals I had with other dealers. We took a test drive in a new hybrid, very good car with lots of good features and the whole process was no pressure, very refreshing experience and they know their cars and other cars. We were able to make a deal on a Great car. I met with Tomas in finance and took very little time to go through the process and transfer over my remaining warranty and oil change package. Highly recommend everyone there ; can't say enough good stuff; Will continue to do business with them! read more

Purchased the car back when reviews for the dealership were very positive- but haven't had a positive experience with them. Small things like oil changes take a long time, and no courtesy vacuuming of the floors etc, I can get past. Service calls being bounced around to 1-888 and 1-866 phone numbers I won't tolerate. I want a local person from my dealership to pick up the phone. I spoke to one girl today from the Lithia repair shop who made me think I was calling the shady corner repair shop in Chicago "Ya, if we don't have an email from the warranty shop it's all on you". Ok. Very helpful..eyes rolling. Tried calling the warranty person, Scott, who didn't impress me when I bought the vehicle, and he, of course, didn't answer the phone. They're obviously hiring from the most recent graduates of how not to provide customer service. I'm trading this in ASAP just to avoid having to be accused of owning a Lithia Subaru as I know this is just the beginning of them becoming third rate. read more

Not a great start to getting service at Lithia today. Service hears "headlight" and asks if you already have the part. Well, no. Boom transferred right to Parts. Um, I'm not sure exactly what's wrong. I need diagnostics. If the person who answered would have taken 30 seconds, I could've explain I checked the fuses but that was it. How am I supposed to know the cause of the problem? Called back. No answer. Got voicemail. Called back, got robot assistant and was able to make appointment. read more

Being originally from last vegas I've had my fair share of con-men and loan sharks. I'll say they've got nothing on lithia Subaru. I went down on the 15th of May to try for a car, the finance manager said I was approved but because they don't like to get ahead of themselves they wanted to wait till everything was finalized before we can take the car home. Fast forward to may 19th we called even the finance manager and explained that it obviously wasn't gonna happen so we were gonna move on. He explained he had actually been trying to text us but must have had the incorrect number but that the loan was approved and he was waiting on the approval letter to come in within the next hour or so. As we get to the dealership he explains that they came in with a slightly lower interest rate and the payment would be a few dollars less. Papers are signed and we sign our title hand over our trade, cancel the registration and go about our day. Fast forward again to may 30th. We are called telling us that our bank statements aren't enough. My 1099 shows I make roughly 60k annually the IRS shows the same. They tell us we're to return the car, so I got and return the car, they give me mine but can't give me my title since it's already 5 on a Friday. Without the title I'm unable to register my family vehicle until atleast Monday. I call Monday to speak with the general manager and he explains it's not his problem and they're not responsible for the registration and that he lost out on his money because of us and it's our fault that the deal didn't go through. He also explained that it's not there responsibility to fix or even acknowledge that they broke the side seat cover on the drives side. Essentially told me to get bent. He didn't have time to deal with us since we weren't buying and it was our fault he lost his money and we should apologize to him. They are complete snakes getting by on the name and reputation of Subaru. You can buy a Subaru anywhere or the dealership can aquire one for you. Dealing with lithia Subaru is no different than dealing with and used car lot throughout reno. At the end of the phone conversation i was told they were loosing money on the depreciation of the impreza when i gave it back yet they posted it back on their site as a BRAND NEW VEHICLE with undisclosed miles even those theres over 250 miles on the car GO TO DOLAN . read more

Went to Carson city for a Subaru and they were the worst! My daughter and I spontaneously went to lithia Subaru. Luis was so patient as my daughter is picky and so am I. We made a deal on a used crosstrek. No pressure and very easy process. Highly recommend! read more

ITEMS STOLLEN AT Service Center... Richie was our service advisor.... When we called and he had no expectations that our car would be with them overnight or for four days...after my husband and I persistently called to get our car back upon getting our car back, upon return two of my prescription glasses (Ray Bands) were missing from the center console... including irreplaceable jewelry. Items were not left out and they were in the center console of the car. Richie is not answering the calls, texts or voice messages....Brittany the manager lacks any sort of empathy. read more

I had never picked out or purchased a car on my own, and was pretty nervous to do so. I am SOOOO glad I ended up with a Subaru Crosstrek from Lithia. Everyone from the General Manager, my wonderful salesperson, Paul, and even the barista were a total delight. I had saved up cash, but Evan was able to find me such an amazing rate, I financed half. I'm relieved that I was able to get a new car and keep an emergency fund. I got the exact car I was after for an out the door price with which I am THRILLED. I will be sending my friends and family to Lithia when they need a car. Thank you so much, team, for being so good at your jobs. read more

I had bought a used f150 from this dealership, the staff was super friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I had to take the truck back in to the dealership the following day for a warranty claim because the brake light and blinker were out on the passenger side, one would think this issue would be caught during their inspection but apparently not. It's been 3 1/2 weeks and I still don't have my vehicle back. Would not recommend this dealership for buying a used vehicle. I made my first payment today and got to drive the vehicle for 1 day, pretty ridiculous if you ask me this is the kind of expectations you have from a sleazy used car dealership not from a dealership of this caliber. I received a call today from Lithia Subaru saying I need to come in and sign something for the car I traded in because they had missed a signature. I informed the lady the only way I'm driving back to the dealership is to pickup the vehicle they sold me that's been in service for almost a month now and then I'll sign. She told me "well the vehicle will still be in your name" I told her that's fine I'll gladly come down once my vehicle is done. It's funny how this dealership needs you to drop everything and help them out when they say so and when you challenge that it results to threats. read more

I totaled my old Honda Crosstour that I bought in 2011, and was shopping for a new car with limited time before my insurance coverage of my rental ran out. I shopped Lithia Reno as well as Michael Hohl in Carson City, and got excellent service in Reno - Marcus Seroi was the sales person and he was never pushy yet stayed in communication and made me feel he had my interests at heart. I didn't end up buying a Subaru, but I would recommend Lithia Reno to anyone. read more

We had an excellent experience! Tom S. Helped us and was so patient as we test drove 5 different cars. I own a cross trek and planned to buy another and ended up buying an Outback wilderness. Tom made the experience positive by not being pushy and just giving us information as we asked for it. Everything went smoothly and I wasn't planning to leave with a car but we did and I'm so happy. read more

Lithia Reno Subaru - Subaru Outback Wilderness - Car Dealers Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Worst customer service! Jerry Salgis finally called me over about 12:11 for my 12 p.m. appointment. They took the guy before me after asking if we had appointments and if we were dropping off. The other gentleman had a 2:30 p.m. appointment for a nail and was helped right away. I came without my husband because he had to work. I am always treated differently when I'm there alone without my husband. Before scheduling this appointment, we told them we would need a loaner, a lady called about 11 AM this morning to assure us that we would have one. This is the second recall on my car and was a pain to schedule in the first place. We left countless messages without a return call. Over a month just to give you a time frame. I am in the middle of finalizing things for my brother's funeral, and waiting on Subaru wasn't on my list of things to do today. I told Jerry why I needed my car and I didn't have an hour to sit here and wait when a lady called this A.M. to confirm our appointment and to tell us they had a rental. I showed up, and Jerry told me he didn't have a rental and they could check my recall in an hour. He had rental keys sitting on his podium as he told me he had no rentals. I don't understand why I was lied to. He walked over to another counter and then came back and said I would have to wait 30 minutes for someone to go and get a rental from across the street or I can wait for them to fix my car. I left like I said I was trying to finalize my brother's funeral arrangements, I do not have 30 minutes or an hour for this. I wasted my time and gas when I should have just bought from Toyota. I'll keep Jerry's lack of service when we purchase any future vehicles. Two recalls in the past few years here, then come in lied to!! Do yourself a favor and don't buy here. They'll be your best friend until you drive off the lot or have a recall. Forget about it if you're a woman or one of color. read more

Would not recommend the service center. My husband made an appointment (as recommended by service center staff), dropped the car off at 10:00am, and was told it'd be ready at 4:00pm. At 4:00pm, they called saying they couldn't get to our car and wanted to keep it a few more days, which we couldn't do. Zero apology or care that they had inconvenienced our family. Only shrugged shoulders. read more

I can't say enough good things about the Lithia Subaru Reno team. Look up Paul Bushnell if you need a no pressure salesman. He even called me on his day off to answer my question. Evan, in finance, is very efficient and thorough. Palmer went above and beyond to respond with a question on my bill of sale. Overall great team! read more

I I recently took my ionic 5 in for a new passenger side mirror. I mashed it backing into my garage. I didn't take in until late in the morning and it was ready by three o'clock. I wish to thank Al Melo for the outstanding service. The mirror looks like it did when I bought the car 3 weeks ago. read more

Avoid Lithia Subaru in Reno at all costs. My wife had her outback serviced at Lithia for an oil change and rotation. She left with a dented hood and quarter panel and we found a quart of oil pooled up on the garage floor the next day. Supposedly the mechanic did not connect the air hose correctly and when it disconnected it hit her vehicle making dents and scratches. For this damage she was compensated $100 off the service. She is not one to complain so she took it and left. I inspected the drain plug after finding the oil on the garage floor to find that it was only finger tight and 1 quart low on oil after 24 hours. If they can't get something as basic as an oil change and tire rotation correct, how could they possibly be trusted with anything else. We'll never be going back. Save yourself the headache and make the drive to Carson City read more

When you get your brakes done here, make sure to check the caliper bolts. The bolt was loose on my right side of my outback, I'll never forget the grinding sound on the freeway when the bolt CAME OFF or the fact they never responded to my messages about reimbursing me for a tow to get it fixed. They were pretty unapologetic about this major safety issue when I took it in. Truly, is this place a scam? not a satisfied customer in sight. Don't go here, go to Carson instead. read more
