(only on manual transmission models) They took 3 weeks to complete the job, after telling me that it would take a few days. 3-5 to be precise. When I brought it in, I mentioned to the service manager, Crispin Hudson that I had received a notice in the mail for a recall on the wiper motor. I asked him if, while they had it, could they perform the recall work on the wiper motor. Absolutely! we can do that for you, no problems at all. Was Crispin Hudson's reply. Fast forward 3 weeks. I got the car back, after Hudson's repeat remarks about how they had to "spin the tires on the rim" and repeatedly measure the "ground force vibration" which they claim never came in to a good reading etc etc. My reply was "so you rebalanced the tires and it still didn't work out for you and this machine is the excuse you're using for keeping my car an extra 2 weeks." Sounds reasonable? a day after I got the car back I looked at the paperwork. No recall wiper motor paperwork. I call Hudson back and ask about since I had to rent a car for 3 weeks I figured enough was enough and they should maybe give me a loaner for the duration of this fix which could take weeks (I figured) since it took them 3 to do a job that was supposed to take a few days. Crispin Hudson suggested instead that they could send some people to pick up the car at my place of business, do the job, then drop it back off before I was finished my work day. I figured "perfect" again. I told him I have a very tight schedule and we agreed on an exact time for the pickup, complete with instructions for the drivers to call me so I could go out and give them keys etc. Time came, and went. No call from drivers. nothing. I called Hudson (who was now unavailable perpetually and available only by voicemail) My next course of action was to call and ask for the general manager, Rick Greenspan. At the time his voicemail indicated he was the assistant G.M. at the time. I left a message asking him to please call me at his earliest convenience. No reply. Ever. Crispin Hudson obviously had gaslighted his own reality to the then Asst G.M. , and sighted me as a problem or something to cover up his shortcomings. -Eff You Barrie Subaru management. You dropped the ball and then told everyone it wasn't yours. More
Great, friendly and personable customer service! My very first BRAND NEW car! Thank you Paul so much for all your patience throughout my (loooong) decision making process. This was a very large & ne My very first BRAND NEW car! Thank you Paul so much for all your patience throughout my (loooong) decision making process. This was a very large & new purchase for me so I wanted to feel and be confident with my choice & not once did you pressure or make me feel as though I was wasting your time. As soon as I walked into the dealership, I was made felt at home and comfortable. I was offered coffee and TinBits and my son, popcorn! I would without a doubt refer not only the brand Subaru, but I would recommend Paul as their sales rep. Because of the positive feedback I received about Paul's personable personality, I drove an hour out to buy my car! More

Cars have changed dramatically in the last decade - fuel economy, technology, styling etc. After visiting several other dealerships we tried Barrie Subaru and a brand we were not familiar with. Paul Santaera educated us about Subaru. From initial meeting, test drives, purchase and delivery, customer service was professional and customer focused. Enjoying our new vehicle and looking forward to an equally good service experience. More
