Their service department was well run and organized. I went for an oil and filter change. I appreciate that they didn't try to sell me more except a tire rotation which I declined. Appointments are not mandatory but they help keep customers flowing through. Upon inspection, turned out I needed a cabin filter change. I had my husband do this himself. The waiting area was clean. Waiting areas both inside and outside. I was offered a courtesy ride home but didn't need it as I was in and out in about 45 minutes. read more

Jose and the entire SO Subaru team went out of their way to give me the car I've been wanting for months! And Jose did it with the least amount of work and dealer stress for me. Amazing service!! I'm so grateful - I LOVE my new crosstrek hybrid - and I recommend him, and them, highly!! read more

Subaru Sherman Oaks - Car Dealers Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Car Shopping Experience at Subaru Sherman Oaks I recently went car shopping and after researching several options, Subaru stood out as offering the best deal. I decided to visit the dealership in person to make my purchase. Upon arrival, I let the receptionist know I was there to buy a new car. A salesperson quickly approached me. While I initially told him what I was looking for, he ended up showing me a different model that I hadn't considered. Surprisingly, I liked it even more -- and the financing terms were better too. We sat down, went through my information, and started crunching numbers. After that, I was directed to the finance center, which took some time. The finance officer offered several add-on services, but I chose to decline them. A Few Notes: * Parking is limited. * Restrooms and refreshments are located on the second floor. * Refreshments: Sales staff don't offer drinks or refreshments unless you ask (just something I experienced). The experience was pretty straightforward, and I appreciated that they showed me an alternative that worked out better for me financially. Just be prepared for the usual upselling. read more

Subaru Sherman Oaks - Inside - Car Dealers Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Eventhough I was generally impressed with my 2026 Subaru Crosstrex lease agreement, I am becoming frustrated with their policy of slow-walking my equity check. Management claims that they have the right to wait for the title and pink slip to be transferred to their dealership first, before paying off their customers. However, CARMAX has a policy of settling with their customers on the same day of purchasing their current vehicle. Why the double standard? So, I will be getting in touch with the Drakes. They are the co-owners of Casa de Cadillac, while also being the parent company of Subaru-Sherman Oaks. M. Serkin read more

One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a Subaru dealership - would highly recommend not coming to this location. I dropped off my car for service on a Saturday and was told I would get it back by Tuesday. It's now been about 2 weeks and every day I contact them they assure me it'll be just "one more day." The service technician Manny was rude and unprofessional. When I called to speak to him, one person told me he was busy and another told me he was taking a day off. When I finally got a quote for my repairs after 10 days, it was more than double the quote I got from another place. Very disappointed in this customer service and I won't be back. Edit: When I finally did get my car back, they had the whole back seat ripped out and forgot to put it back together. Their response was "interested, we didn't even notice." read more

I called to make an appointment for my Subaru. They ask me on the phone what the problem was and I told them. I scheduled the appointment, cleared my calendar and made arrangements to drop off my car. This is also across town from me. When I showed up to the appointment, they asked me again. What was the problem? I told them and they agreed. I was going to need a new tire pressure sensor. Which is exactly what I had told them when I made the appointment. They said they would need my car for a few days and unfortunately, they did not have a rental car for me. (I have an extended warranty so a loaner car is part of my package.) Not sure why you would schedule an appointment for somebody who most likely is going to need a rental car and then not have one there. So needless to say I couldn't leave my car and they asked me to come back next week. They said they would need my car for a few days. I tried to reach the service manager to make sure that there would be a car and I wouldn't jump through hoops to get my car there and not be able to leave it. I called two different days and left a message for a service manager to return my call. No service manager ever returned my call. Terrible customer service. I will say that the gentleman that helped me at the dealership was lovely. But I would never recommend this dealership. read more

I can't say enough about my experience at Subaru Sherman Oaks. Alejandro Lara made this the best service experience I've ever had at a dealership. He made my time there efficient, pleasant, and informative, and he kept me updated throughout the process, which made all the difference. Alejandro made my drive from Santa Monica that much more worthwhile! read more

Who likes negotiating for a new car - NO ONE! But, do not lose hope! This is the 2nd Subaru I have bought from here and everyone is amazing...also really did my shopping around and they were the lowest price with no hidden upsell! Crosby and Robert are really the best. They got me exactly what I wanted and even sent me a care package after my car accident where the first Subaru got totaled. I can't recommend enough, and again - the best price after looking at 4 other dealerships! As (bad) luck would have it, I got a nail in my tire less that 2 weeks after purchasing and Manny gave me a discount on it and free labor. Really great group over there - HIGHLY recommend! read more

Christian made my son's very first car lease such an amazing experience. From start to finish, he made everything incredibly easy, explained every step clearly, and took all the stress out of the process. What truly made it special was that he went above and beyond by delivering the car himself so we could surprise my son--it turned into such a memorable moment for our family. I'm so grateful for his professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and makes the process smooth and exciting, I highly recommend Christian! Thank you again. read more

Fast service. Super nice service agents. Express service for oil change and tire rotation. Highly recommend.

We had a very disappointing experience working with Elan while trying to purchase a Subaru Forester. We spoke with Elan and agreed on a price for a specific Subaru Forester. After driving an hour and a half to the dealership for our agreed-upon appointment, he called us one minute before we arrived to say the car had already been sold and that he "didn't know". Unbeknownst to Elan, we found out through another car salesman that the car had been sold a few hours earlier. He immediately tried to sell us a different vehicle. It was a classic bait-and-switch, which showed a complete lack of integrity on his part and a lack of respect for our time. We bought our car from Orange Coast Subaru. Check out their customer service reviews (they're really good), and save yourself the shady sales techniques that Elan offers at this dealership. read more

My holiday season just got kicked off with a new car in the family. We just leased a new Subaru Cross Trek with leather seats and moon roof. It's our seventh Subaru, and I'm writing this review sitting in it, reveling in the leather seats while Gabe connects my hubby's phone. A huge shout out to Gabe Lopez, Sales, Jaime Calzada, Sales Manager, and Paul Gacitua, Finance, for their years of excellent service as we walk through our lives with our Subarus. We've known Jaime for eight years and Gabe for three. We've known Paul awhile too. They all take the time to make buying and leasing a new car easy and fun. Gabe took a lot of time getting the technology set up for us. Thanks, Gabe! Dual climate! Yeah! Lovin' this new Cross Trek! No more bickering over heat and air. I highly recommend Subaru Sherman Oaks for superb service and customer care. Friendly, patient, and efficient, you'll have a great experience here. read more

Linda and Angel saved the day!! I went into Subaru SO without an appointment because my key fob was broken. Wonderful Linda took me to see Angel, who was able to put it back together for me. They were both so friendly and eager to help me. I feel this kind of customer forward connection is so rare now. But I I certainly had a brig dose of it today!!! Thank you, Angel and Linda!! read more

I purchased my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek because Subaru claims 97% of the vehicles it sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today. I planned to keep mine well beyond a decade. Instead, after 100K miles, the repair costs exploded thus making me question the data used for that statistic. For the first 100,000 miles, my Crosstrek performed reasonably well aside from minor issues. After crossing that mileage threshold, the ownership experience changed dramatically. In Nov 2025, I paid $599 for radiator service. Six months later, a radiator crack caused overheating that melted the head gaskets and seals, requiring a tow from Norwalk to the SF Valley and then to Subaru Sherman Oaks. Subaru Sherman Oaks quoted $9,157, then $8,800, and finally $6,682 only after I questioned the pricing. A trusted independent mechanic reviewed the work done and estimated the job at $3,000. 9 days later, the thermostat light returned due to an incorrectly installed clamp, requiring yet another tow and an extra $100 out of pocket. Subaru also never tells owners that after a battery change, you must complete a 7‑step drive cycle just to pass smog. Sherman Oaks said it would take two weeks to complete this drive cycle with no loaner available. A specialist mechanic did it in one day. I trusted Subaru's reliability claims. My experience has been the opposite. I cannot see myself purchasing or leasing another Subaru unless the vehicle and its maintenance were provided for free. I am deeply disappointed in a brand I once trusted. Subaru -- do better. read more

Great staff. Attention to details and honest customer service. Ended up getting a new car.

Linda was amazing and made the whole experience very comfortable. Highly recommend, everything was smooth and they truly care here.

Painless car-buying experience, and that's saying something. Everyone was so nice, low pressure environment; accomodating, and welcoming. Avi went above and beyond, with detailing everything we could possibly need to know about our new car. Wonderful experience, we will only be doing business with these guys for all our Subaru needs. read more

One of the worst dealership experiences I've had. Before coming in, I made it clear I don't like dealerships because of the games and lowball tactics they're known for. I was told things would be straightforward. Instead, the sales manager did exactly what gives car salespeople their reputation with presenting a typical low trade-in offer. His credibility instantly plummeted, followed by predictable excuses. This wasn't a normal negotiation gap. It felt like a deliberate attempt to see if I'd accept a bad deal. That was enough for me. I walked, and I won't be back for anything, not sales, not service, nothing. If this is how they start a relationship, there's no reason to trust them with your business. There are honest dealerships out there. Based on my experience, this isn't one of them, so I'd advise thinking twice and choosing your Subaru dealership wisely! read more

I highly recommend Subaru Sherman Oaks! At first, I was really reluctant to take my car to a dealership because you always hear horrible stories about them lying just to overcharge you. But nope, that all changed thanks to Trevor.Trevor's response time was perfect, and he was very thorough when explaining expectations versus reality. He breaks everything down so you don't feel lied to, which I truly appreciate. The service was so great that my boyfriend considered switching to a Subaru because it is so hard to find people who genuinely care. Thank you, Trevor! I will definitely be going back to this Subaru for all of my future maintenance. read more

Great experience leasing a car here. Staff is friendly, direct, helpful, and not pushy. If you're looking for a Subaru, I definitely recommend shopping here. read more

**Note: they charge $280 for a diagnostic. I took my Subaru here a few weeks ago and received a quote for over $7k of work. Not only was I shocked, there was absolutely no way I could afford it. It also took them three days to get a diagnosis and they would not offer a loaner. I subsequently took the car to another Subaru dealership and am now going to be able to have all of the necessary repairs done (by a dealer) for less than $2800. This place is an absolute joke. When I went to pick up the car, I was told that they were waiving the diagnostic fee. I don't know what the reason for that was, but I'm sure my upset over the situation was clear. I have told many Subaru-owning friends about this experience and will continue to spread the word to others that they should avoid this place at all costs. Service centers that try to take advantage of women/upcharge and upsell in excess should be ashamed of themselves. The worst part of this whole experience? My service advisor was also a woman. Shame on you. On a semi-related note: while I was here, two other customers were extremely upset at their respective service providers. One was an elderly woman who was crying and another was an irate middle-aged man. In sum: DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE. read more

Shoaks Subaru has been good & kind to me and my Subie. Attentive thoughtful dealership. The waiting area is well curated with many spots to park yourself why waiting. Everyone here is friendly and sincere. read more

Eugene (Gene) on the Subaru Finance team is utterly splendid. Never experienced that with a dealer before. He is a true professional, a kind heart, and is exactly what the car industry is missing -- authenticity. This was an experience I was dreading -- scouring the city for a new lease. Once I found it, I was dreading coming in and picking it up, but Eugene was thoughtful, respectful, and very accommodating. No shoving BS down my throat. A true professional. Thank you, Gene :) read more

Walked in after a terrible experience at Keyes Hyundai. Was looking around and was graciously greeted by Aaron. Nice gentleman and acknowledged me and gave me the time to check out the cars. Came back to Aaron and told him I would return for a test drive since some dealerships require proof of insurance and I didn't have my updated policy, but he was gracious enough and provided me an opportunity to test out their 2026 Forester hybrid. Zero pressure and just casually discussed the features of the vehicle. Gotta say, great experience and has helped in my decision for my next company car. read more

I had the best experience with Subaru Sherman Oaks, and who can say that when buying a car!? Frank, Dev and Paul made the whole process so easy. They were friendly, helped explain everything and not pushy. And the follow up care (training me on the car's function & answering all my questions) well after the deal was done is truly amazing. I am so thankful to them and I highly recommend their dealership!! read more

Once again great customer service here in sherman oaks Thank you Jorge and to the managers at this location! Thank you for going above and beyond with my 10 year old car which I love and my extended warranty!!! You are the best ! read more

My wife and I had such a great experience buying our new car here. Jason was our salesman. He is young and hopefully a new breed of salesman that doesn't pressure you, he really let the car speak for itself. We drove a few and he was patient and nice. He came back with a great offer on our lease and showed us a few options for how to pay it out. The finance guy was filling in from sister dealership Casa Caddilac and was also great. Highly recommend both a Subaru and this dealership! read more

Brought my car in for service. Thomas was the rudest customer service person I've ever encountered. Acted bothered I asked a question, extremely patronizing, and left me wishing I'd spent thousands of dollars on service anywhere else. I'm not sure he realizes he's in a customer service position. read more

Fantastic Car Buying Experience - Zero Pressure! Gary Dannenbaum made the entire car buying process quick, easy, and completely stress-free. From the moment I walked in, he was welcoming, honest, and never pushy. He answered all my questions, gave me the space to make my decision, and had everything wrapped up in under 2 hours. If you want a straightforward, professional experience without the usual pressure, I highly recommend working with Gary! read more

This place has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I arrived on time for my appointment and waited in my car for over thirty minutes without being helped. I was the very first car in line, yet another vehicle that pulled up at least fifteen minutes after me was assisted before I was, even though I pointed out the situation. It was clear that my presence and time did not matter to them. What makes this even more frustrating is that I was not just there for service, I also intended to look at purchasing a new Subaru during my visit. That means they didn't just lose my trust in their service department, they lost out on a potential vehicle sale as well. I asked to speak to a manager twice, and still, no one came to acknowledge or address my concerns. The lack of professionalism and courtesy shows that no one at this location truly cares about their customers. Before I left, I told them I wanted to cancel my appointment. I even asked one of the desk representatives if they needed my name, and he casually replied "no," showing no interest whatsoever. That dismissive attitude confirmed to me that my business was not valued here. In the end, I left completely disappointed and determined not to return. A place that treats its customers this way doesn't deserve their business. read more

I was having such a hard time at dealerships looking for a new car as young woman. A lot of the car salesman I had met up until this point were very condescending towards me.

I am so happy with the car I ended up with a 2026 Subaru Forrester read more

I always get great customer service at Subaru Sherman Oaks. I've been coming here for years.

I bought a 2022 certified preowned WRX on 12/27/25 with 20k miles on it.. right away I noticed a sound from the engine area like a rubbing sound and one of my USB ports was loose and the suspension squeaked .. i dropped my car off Feb 4th.. I had a hard time getting a hold of them. I kept getting sent to voicemail. I would send them a text and they would not respond. Played cat and mouse for a couple days. . Long story short they had my car until February 12.. They called me to go pick it up.. When I got there, they made me pay $100 deductible to use my extended warranty.. mind you the car has 20,000 miles on it. It should be under the manufacturers warranty still.. not only that I just bought it a month ago how did it pass certified preowned inspection with all the problems that it has (see the attached pictures for what they found wrong with it). yes, I called Subaru America and there's an open case for an investigation on it... but this is the best part of it all when I got there to pick up my car , at first they couldn't find it.. then proceeded to tell me that my car was parked down at the Van Nuys courthouse and that that was their "overflow" parking 2-3 miles away.. i call B.S. now I'm still trying to get my $100 dollars back and I keep getting sent to Voicemail and dodged. AND.. they didn't even repair the speakers or the port .. they're on order supposedly.. read more

The service we received at Subaru Sherman Oaks was amazing! While traveling from Sacramento to San Diego we detected a worrisome noise that made us question the safety of our vehicle. Everyone, from Jay (who answered our original al call) to Craig, (Service Manager) and Emma who attended to our comfort and well being, was kind and understanding. We left three hours later with peace of mind, directions for avoiding the worst rush hour traffic and a voucher for a free car wash. We are extremely grateful. read more

What is amazing is the service department representative Tyler. In a world where people do not take the time ..he is constant as the northern star! For the past five years, he's been taking care of any issues related to my car. The place is immaculate and offering little extra amenities, such as coffee and water, but the friendliness and the teamwork is noticeable. There's many places I could've taken my car, but when you feel like a person in the automated world, it's something letting others know. read more

I am upset with their service. I got an oil change and tire roation done. When I got my car back the rims were scratched. I reached out to the manager and he said it wasn't their fault. The scratched he's are right around where the lug nuts are located! It looked like they missed the opening and kept hitting the rims itself. I only want it repaired and nothing more. This is absolutely terrible care & service. read more
