The sales department here is top notch. They are attentive to what you need and work to find you the find vehicle.

Great experience at Open Road Subaru. Total transparency I was also looking at a Cherokee and wanted to cross the Forester off the list. Chris Reardon was GREAT, he is the person you need to speak with. Chris was all about information, no BS or pressure and was respectful of our time. I now have a Forester and spent 3 hours getting home in the snow last night (jersey city, 1&9, 78) it was TERRIFC. Great Car, Great Dealership .. Outstanding Sales (Chris Reardon). read more

If you are looking to get a new car, visit Open Road Subaru and see Joey Manuel!! We have been to several dealerships and he was by far the best. He provided exceptional service, explained everything we needed to know, and also a very understanding person. It made the process quick and efficient, we got the car for a great price and within 30 minutes. We come from a family of Subaru and we have started off with our first 08 Subaru and we still own this to this day. Definitely worth giving Joey a try, his service can't be beat!! read more

Just purchased our first Subaru at Open Road Subaru in Union NJ. We were greeted by John Greenwald. John guided us through the different models and options. I had my heart set on the Outback, John quickly pulled out an Outback and took us for a test drive. He took the time to explain all the features, we were very impressed. He is very knowledgeable, patient and professional. The price negotiation was painless. We got a great deal and couldn't be happier with our purchase and the service received at Open Road Subaru and John Greenwald. read more

The bigger the service, the bigger the disregard for people who came to the guarantee service ...

Having purchased from Open Road - and decided not more recently - Open Road Subaru is by far the best Subaru dealership in the local area. My experience purchasing a car there was flawless - and when we decided not to purchase with them (not due to customer service but a better deal) - they were cordial and understanding. The word family is used when you talk about Open Road - and it's accurate. I feel part of the family there regardless of decisions we choose to make. read more

After reading the reviews I admit I was scared, but the service and experience I had was fantastic. Marvin in the service department was very pleasant to work with. We had to get. Recall issue fixed as well as new brakes and the whole experience was really stressLESS. We were also given a brand new outback as a courtesy car... lol my wife says that's our next car now thanks Marvin read more

they are great they had my dream car for me for a great price I would definitely buy from them again they are amazing.

So SAD, TOO Bad! When day 1 of the 15th month of a 42 month lease, the A/C, Heat and defogger stopped working, I tried to schedule a service appointment, and when I expressed That I would need a loaner car- as this was expected to be a lengthy (several days) repair, they had NONE! Luckily, another dealership did. there, I was treated with respect, and my time was considered. They also replaced my wiper blades and detailed my car (Open Road NEVER offered that) So now, I'm THAT dealership's CUSTOMER! Stop treating your clients like they're expendable! read more

If you plan to buy a car from Open Road Subaru, I recommend doing extensive research ahead of time and determining everything you can about the value of the car and the cost of alternatives. I found a certified pre-owned vehicle online and went in to look at it. The salesman told me it cost $19,500, two thousand dollars more than the price listed on Open Road's website and approximately the same cost as buying a new version of the same car (even though it had 26,000 miles on it). I asked him why it was so much cheaper online and he didn't give me a straight answer but said he would honor the online price. When we sat down to discuss financing options, he informed me there was also a $1800 certification charge for the extended warranty. I had looked at certified pre-owned (CPO) cars at other dealerships and all had assured me that certification and warranty were included. It didn't make any sense because a car must pass 152 qualifications to be sold as CPO, so in my mind it's either certified or not and that's factored into the price. The salesman again could not give me a straight answer, and when I talked to another dealership the next day they told me this was a scam. Certification should ALWAYS be included in the price you are initially quoted and DOES NOT cost an additional fee. The salesman presented me with several financing options. It didn't matter how much I told him that I cared most about the overall price, he kept pushing me to think only in terms of monthly payments. I urge you to BE CAREFUL about this as I encountered it at multiple dealerships. The overall price over six years ended up at $10,000 more than the price of the car! The implied interest rate was astronomical compared to the 1-3% typical for a car loan. When I asked the salesman what else he could do, he continuously changed the financing options but never the (inflated) price of the car. He told me monthly costs are all that matter but of course the number of months you pay and overall price also matter! I ended up buying a new car with additional features from a different dealership and (including taxes and interest) paid $5k less than Open Road quoted for a used, 2 year old vehicle. read more

I'd first like to thank Miguel and Phil for all of their help in making our car shopping experience seamless and stress free. Miguel was our amazing salesman and graciously answered all of our lengthy questions and provided us with every single detail we needed in order to make our decision. Concluding our experience was our conversation with Phil, who made the finance portion of the deal P A I N L E S S. If you're like me, you dread this part because of all of the paperwork that is flying your way at once. Thankfully, he was equally as patient and thorough. Service like this is far and few between throughout this pandemic. If you are looking for a Subaru, this is the place to go. read more

I had a bad experience - their only goal seemed to rake me for as much money as they could. When I declined they charged me a $200.00 diagnostic fee! Brutal! read more

Had RJ as sales consultant. Great to deal with No nonsense & truly exceeded every expectation. I visited a couple other local Subaru dealers and Open Road Subaru out them to shame read more

I'm not exactly sure how many stars I'd like to give this particular Subaru dealership, for starters I was in contact with someone by the name of WIl about coming in on Saturday "specifically" b/c there were all these deals going on and coupons to be used and I get there and there was none of that mentioned bought up or otherwise... Not to mention he wasn't even the one who dealt with me he walked me over and introduced me to Chris Reardon, he was patient at first until WE (myself & a friend) could clearly tell that he was losing his patience. (I guess I/we were there too long or something) I was approved for the loan for the vehicle I was interested in (2016 Subaru - Crosstrek) however I had a hard time obtaining insurance b/c of some no fault accident - PIP Claim situation so after contacting several insurance companies while there I gave up at that point it was almost like i was shoved out the door and he didn't want to talk to me anymore one of the young ladies there was talking to me still and he quickly (yeah okay, okay call me monday) as i was proceeding out. When i got outside the door one of the other insurance companies contacted me back and offered me a good deal with an insurance rate but at that point I felt some type of way and didn't want to even go back inside... AND didn't I sat in the car a few min. deciding should I go back in before pulling off... and yeah decided to pull off... Don't think I'll be returning back there. UPDATE: so here it is 4/18/19, and today i get a phone call from none other than Chris Reardon (while I'm at work) asking me did i leave a review about him and before i can get a word out my mouth he tells me "after i spent 6 hours with you, you leave a review saying that i was rude to you" (mind you RUDE was never a word that i used) I was able to ask him was my registration card for my car now left there and he completely ignores my question and yells out - "YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON" AND HANGS UP THE PHONE ON ME so i call back and ask to speak to the manager who i was told was not in and i left a message on his voicemail. Mr. Reardon you are the worst salesperson I've ever encountered and I don't know how you managed to obtain the position you are in but clearly you need not deal with customers at all, this is definitely not the position or profession for you, you don't deserve to deal with the public... And you claim I'm the horrible person ? read more

Wilfred was by far the rudest salesperson I have ever encountered. Take your business elsewhere. Horrible customer service and in need of a SERIOUS attitude check. read more

First time trying to buy a car and wow, I've never had such horrible customer service in my life. I work in the customer service industry myself but what I experienced today was so sad. Wilfred? was so nice to me on the phone and I was truly excited to go to this dealership but when he transferred me to his colleague Dave, I wanted to leave immediately. Maybe he was having a bad day, Ill try to give him the benefit of the doubt. But no enthusiasm, looked like he didn't want to be there, did not want to help us at all. I was so uncomfortable. And then they marked the price up $7000! Like, I get supply and demand is high right now, but this was honestly straight up robbery. Please take you business elsewhere, it's not worth the stress and discomfort. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Especially with the car shortage it was an extremely unpleasant experience dealing with Dave Thal. I don't understand how this clown still has a job! read more

Stay away! Absolutely incompetent! Not willing to do anything to resolve their errors. Do yourself a favor and go ANYWHERE else but here!!! Save yourself the frustration and wasted time! This is not my first car, now that I am pushing 50, I have dealt with a lot of dealers and these here are by far the worst, they just kept giving me complete bogus excuses and information while doing the absolute opposite of what they were telling me they would do. read more

My daughter lease a used Scion The car had a recall after four years of leasing the car and making all payments they are trying to charge us $11,000 more then the value of the car they shouldn't have lease that car to anyone Thank God my daughter didn't have a major accident in that vehicle We will pursue them in court for trying to scam us. read more

Very helpful staff. Highly recommend these guys. They were very professional and bent over backwards to get the deal I wanted. I appreciate all your help. read more

The purchase experience I had at Open Road Subaru was the best I've ever had. The representative we worked with was John Pujols. John was outstanding. He was highly professional and helped us select a car that best met our needs. We love our new Outback! read more

I had to bring my car in for a recall repair and was stunned to see the total disregard for mask safety during Covid. Several employees, including a staff member working the front desk, didn't even have a mask visible on their person, let alone on their faces. Many were walking all over the showroom with faces totally uncovered. I felt extremely unsafe, especially with at least a two-hour wait for my repair to be made. After about 15 minutes in the waiting area--where fellow customers at least were doing their best to stay masked and distanced--I asked about a possible outdoor waiting space and was directed to some tables outside the dealership. This vantage point gave me a good view of the shop area, where I could see that there was also very little masking or distancing. It was hugely stressful knowing that people who cared so little for their customers' safety were driving my car around and working on it. We've leased one car and purchased another from Open Road, but I will NEVER go back! read more

I am a senior citizen and went to this location for car servicing and asked for outdoor seating as a COVID accommodation. My only options were a picnic table squeezed between a chain linked fence and two parked pickup trucks or a chair placed in the middle of the parking lot between two cones - where I had wait for an hour a half. I was told by an employee who worked there that I should be grateful they gave me a chair. read more

in december i leased a 2019 legacy as a LOYAL Subaru customer i was sold a tire and rim package serviced by Easy Care from the finance department. i was told that ANY defect that occurred would be COVERED. This month a bubble developed on a tire and i replaced it When i called Easy Care they informed me that a bubble was not covered as described in the fine print on page two however, had the tire blown due to the bubble i would have been covered and probably DEAD. The manager at Subaru ignored my complaint and in as much said that the finance person would have not lied. NO he just omitted an important fact. The finance manager who sold me the policy is no longer with the dealership WHAT A SHOCKER. The new finance manager told me not to worry and he would present the bill to Easy Care Rep and it would be taken care of. NOTHING has been done and my calls have been left unanswered. BUYER BEWARE read more

I am shocked to find myself writing a 5 star review of a car dealership, but Rob Carpenter was the only car salesman my wife or I have ever met who was very knowledgeable, very responsive, but not pushy. We also visited 2 Honda, 1 Toyota and 1 Mazda dealership during this search (and have bought a Cadillac, an Acura, 2 Fords and 2 Subarus from other dealers in the past) and Subaru not only had the best car, but far and away the most helpful salesman. It was the most pleasant surprise I have had regarding a car since I went to DMV and there was no line! read more

We paid the equivalent of buying an Audi on our suburu and the customer service is horrendous. So frustrating and there are some strange characters working here! read more

Went with my sister in law for her to lease 2022 Forester wilderness car price was $37,000 plus a guy name Dale or Dave/ manager went to us and gave us a quote, sister in law tells manager monthly price that she can afford straight forward $450 and $2000 down payment. Manager said to be in that range she needs to put down $15,000, and i was shock I just lease an Audi Q3 black edition top of the line 5 months ago car cost $53,000 and my monthly was $600 and down payment of $2500, I ask Dave/manager where are you guys getting those numbers and he's answer was Subaru is more reliable than Audi he gave us another quote $7000 down with $450 monthly, to end up the story quick they agreed $2500 down and $515 monthly, from $15,000 down to $2,500 down thats the reason i dont like regular car dealer they play to much not like luxury dealers I've own and lease Audi and Lexus cars and they are so professional they dont play with prices read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! They have horrible sales people. They are corrupt and will take your money. We put a *refundable* $100 deposit down on a vehicle. When returning to Open Road, the Manager and Salesman said it would take HOURS to refund me my money. This is a completely unacceptable way to treat potential customers! I am very disappointed in the unprofessionalism shown by those working at Open Road Subaru; it was an awful experience. I will never return to this dealership for business, and I caution others against doing so. read more

Here for 90 minutes for a car we are buying with no financing. Waiting for business manager. Nice salesperson but not sure what others are actually doing??? read more

Like with any car purchase, this took a while to get all the paperwork done, which is never fun. Other than that, I had a positive experience! I walked in basically knowing what I wanted but needed to compare the details of two models. All my questions were answered, not only in terms of which car was best for me but in terms of financing as well. At no point did I feel aggressively pressured to buy a car or rushed through a decision. I walked out with a fair price that I was happy with. I would definitely buy another car from this dealership, although I would love for the process to be a little faster next time. read more

Called to discuss a lease deal and the dealer wanted to add an additional $3500 onto the pre set price. Now I understand additional fees as per the usual with a car dealership but window etching? Then when I tried to negotiate she hung up on me. I will never give open road my business. Not even service. My advice is to shop around because other dealers won't make you add window etching... read more

"AWESOME Customer Service & Dealership Overall!!!" I purchased my BMW from Open Road Subaru in May 2017. Raphael Medy, the sales representative, was assertive, reliable, friendly, and very caring in meeting my financial and personal needs. Raphael demonstrated outstanding customer service and made me feel comfortable in making a large purchase. I will definitely come back to Open Road Subaru for all future purchases.. Regards, C. Blake read more

Place is a joke, they charged 4K more than what the car was listed at made me feel like I was getting a deal and wouldn't show the monthly numbers and claimed my credit was terrible, car was 26980 and I gave 5500 down, ended up financing 29k before apr.. they wouldn't help and kicked us out when explaining we felt like they took advantage of us. Go further out of your way and do not trust these thieves read more

My 30 something son was interested in buying a new car. He decided to use the Costco car buying program. Contacted Costco, got the authorization number and the preferred dealer (Open Road Subaru in Union) in the program. Contacted the dealership and made an appointment. Gave the dealership the specifics on the car he was interested in, make , model, color, year etc. The dealer was very excited to sell him the car he requested. Over the next few days before the appointment, the Manager of the Open Road Subaru texted my son with the car specifics and the assigned sales rep (Dan "T") called my son (at least twice) in anticipation of his arrival. On the day of the appointment we (my son and I) left work early and drove out of our area for 45 meetings to arrive at the Open Road Subaru (Union) for the scheduled appointment. When we arrived at Open Road Subaru the receptionist was not at the desk. When she appeared and we explained we had an appointment she had to locate the sale rep. (Dan "T") When the sales rep finally emerged from the back office ( it appeared we had interrupted his cigarette break) he barely introduced himself (hi I'm Dan "T"). We requested to view the specific car we had discussed and he explained that car was not available. When we explained that we had spoked that afternoon about this car he mumbled something like we have other Subarus here. When asked to see what was available he reluctantly walked us through the show room and out the back door to a lot of cars. The one car that Dan "T" was showing us was buried in the middle of several other cars. When we requested to open the car and view the inside Dan "T" did not bring the keys. When we asked the Costco price Dan "T" said all Costco cars have different prices and he couldn't tell us the specific price on this car. At this time we confirmed that we were wasting our time with Dan "T" and at the Open Road Subaru dealership, so we left. On the ride home my son texted the dealership manager to explain how disappointed we were. The next day the receptionist called my son and asked why we missed our appointment. When we explained that we did NOT miss the appointment and the poor treatment we received from Dan "T" she said she would inform the Manager. Needless to say we have NOT heard anything further from the sales rep (Dan"T") the dealership (Open Road Subaru Union) or the Manager. DON'T WAST E YOU TIME OR EFFORT WITH THIS DEALERSHIP. read more

Terrible experience here. We appreciate the challenge of being open and social distance so we did an exterior inspection of a car when they were closed. John (Internet Sales Mgr)followed up with us to make an appt for a test drive. John confirmed that we could leave the lot and go basically U-turn to U-turn to test the car. Made appt and showed up on time. A: we were told we could NOT leave the lot and test the car on the road B: we were told that unless we planned to buy in the next 2 days they couldn't help us. We left. Here's the thing- we don't NEED an extra car but if we liked it we would have bought it. The GM (Jesus) schooled us that the used car may be gone in a month....NO KIDDING? Gee thanks for stating the obvious. The lack of professionalism and communication is a sign of poor leadership and lack of customer experience protocol. We gave Jesus 2 opportunities to provide solutions (once while still there, once as we were leaving to go home...30 min drive each way)however he did nothing. When we got home I posted this same review and big shock- Jesus called right away. Too little, too late. read more

Just purchased my first Subaru with the help of Steven Wolfe. I hate shopping for cars (who doesn't?) but was very pleasantly surprised by this dealership. Steve was informative without being pushy, and he and the manager were quite accommodating and flexible about buying out my currently leased car, which saved me an additional headache! They also allowed me to spread the sale over two days to accommodate my work schedule which was just amazing. I've never bought a car without having to go through the needless drama of "let me talk to my boss" and making the customer wait for no reason other than playing the game. This dealership was a breath of fresh air. read more

Absolute chaos in there. No precautions taken for COVID-19. Tons of people including employees and customers not wearing masks. Sales area mixed with crowded service waiting room. Walked out as fast as we walked in. read more

Disappointed. I have normally had favorable service experiences. However at my last service once they returned my vehicle to the lot, it seems that someone backed into/hit my car. Given that I noticed the body damage some days later, I asked Subaru to review any surveillance , and provide their policy on matters like this. I was advised that they are not responsible for damage to vehicles on their lot, and parking my car there was akin to parking at a supermarket...park at your own risk. No accountabilty, no apology. So my $185.00 oil change has turned into a $600.00 oil change/body job . They don't have to worry about me frequenting their "supermarket" again. read more
