Good product but poorly run dealership, not female friendly. Consider using Centaur Subaru if you must have a Subaru, Centaur is less pressured and more customer friendly. You can also use Unhaggle or Car Cost Consider using Centaur Subaru if you must have a Subaru, Centaur is less pressured and more customer friendly. You can also use Unhaggle or Car Cost Canada to avoid the sales department completely. The other option is to look at Toyota or Honda which have better sales departments. Notes: - Aggressive young men only in the sales department that appear to be on commission and don't know a lot about the cars. This is not a female friendly place to buy a car. - Not time management skills, they kept us waiting several times. Quite chaotic at times. More
Definitely Recomnend Just bought a Forester touring 2.5i, Adam Pope provided very good service and they prepped the car and had 3M package and protection package done same Just bought a Forester touring 2.5i, Adam Pope provided very good service and they prepped the car and had 3M package and protection package done same day. Service all the way through was excellent and friendly. Competition was slow to respond and would not give a price without sitting down with the manager with an offer. Would definitely recommend Centaur Subaru. More
Don't walk...RUN!! Pathetic, rotten customer service! Our family has collectively owned 10 Subaru's over the past 22 years. They were great, affordable vehicles. Fortunately for us we were able to find Our family has collectively owned 10 Subaru's over the past 22 years. They were great, affordable vehicles. Fortunately for us we were able to find an excellent service provider that was NOT Centaur and NOT Subaru Calgary. We've had terrible experiences with both dealers. When my last vehicle died, I test drove the Subaru Crosstrek hoping to purchase a new Subaru. The sales person had a serious lack of knowledge regarding the car and after reading numerous bad reviews about Centaur and Subaru Calgary, I decided to purchase an Acura instead. I've been thrilled with my SUV and even more thrilled with their excellent service department. One family member still owns a Subaru and has had the misfortune of dealing with Subaru Calgary. She's had her vehicle in the service department for the same problem over and over. The problem is NEVER solved and they have no recollection or record of the problem. Repeated appointments have been set up, she brings the vehicle in and big surprise...they don't have the part. Even though the appointment was set up for the specific problem. They've wasted so much of her time and MONEY and the bad part is they DON'T CARE at all. People should ban this dealership and Subaru Calgary is no better. They have the market cornered in Calgary and they know it. If you buy a new Subaru you have NO choice but to deal with these extremely incompetent bozo's!! The owner of Centaur should be embarassed about the total lack of service AND lack of caring that they provide, along with the extremely bad attitude of the service dept. or should I say LACK OF SERVICE DEPT. My advice go elsewhere to buy a vehicle or you'll have major regrets. More
I was reluctant to go to Centaur Boy did I get a surprise when I called the parts department, my call was answered by Chris and he proceeded to help me out to get the parts I needed f Boy did I get a surprise when I called the parts department, my call was answered by Chris and he proceeded to help me out to get the parts I needed for my 2010 Outback. In all my years of dealing with various dealers I have never had such good service like I got here. The parts arrived quickly and he helped me out some more. The service manager Dan, was the fellow who does the programming of the stuff there and I was further astounded by the great service he provided as well. I had read and heard of people having bad experiences there but it must have been the attitude of the customer that caused their problems, I found Dealing with both Chris and Dan to be a very pleasant experience.

Honesty works I went into the dealership to buy a car - today. The sales guy was nice. He spent about an hour and a half showing my wife and motherinlaw the vehicl I went into the dealership to buy a car - today. The sales guy was nice. He spent about an hour and a half showing my wife and motherinlaw the vehicles we were interested in. We made a decision, and presented a fair offer. That's when things got weird. We were told by the sales guy that the colour we wanted in the 2016 model was on a boat and would be here in 4 weeks. We said that was fine, we would buy today and wait for it. He takes the offer to his manager, then comes back and says we can have one of the floor models for that price, but they want $500 more for the one on a boat. I countered with a bit more money, but they wouldn't budge. So we went across town to the other dealer and got the exact car/colour we wanted at the price we had offered Centaur. While trying to negotiate, the salesman used all the standard lines that I've heard and read before. I'm not unexperienced or stupid, but it appeared that he thought I was one or the other. Telling me he only gets $100 to sell a new Subaru. If that's all he makes, he should look for other employment. Who has 2016 models arriving by boat in the fall of 2016? If you are reading this, you know a dealer can spin the numbers a lot of different ways, so it's hard to argue. But the sales guy insisted that the dealer was only going to make $600 by selling me this vehicle. I said if dealers only made that, they couldn't pay him, or the rest of their overhead. And finally, they let me walk out the door without countering my counter - and we were only $300 apart. That leads me to believe that there was most likely not a boat with our car on it. Two hours later we paid cash for the vehicle we wanted. It's not a great economy here right now, and pushing sales out your door, and over to your competitor, seems rather short sighted. More

Service I bought my Subaru Outback from Centaur. One of the tires was losing pressure and I went there on Friday to get it checked. I was told that they were I bought my Subaru Outback from Centaur. One of the tires was losing pressure and I went there on Friday to get it checked. I was told that they were packed and I could get an appointment for Monday. I booked an appointment and when I went there, I was told that it will take about 1-1.5 hours as there are others in front of me. When I asked what does appointment mean then I was told that it just means that at that time I can drop of my car. This is the most absurd appointment system I have ever come across. If I have to drop of my car and wait for car in front of me then why do I need an appointment. Anyways, I agreed to wait in dealership while they check my tire. After about 2 hours, my car was still not pulled into the shop and when I asked how much longer would it take, I was told that there are 2 cars ahead of me and some of the technicians are out for lunch. So they had no clue how much more time it will take. After 2 hours, I had to leave with my tire still not fixed. This was all when I had an appointment booked. This is the worst customer service I have seen in my whole life. More
Dissatisfied Service Customer I recently brought in my fleet Forester for service and assure you I WILL NOT be back. As customer service continues to dwindle in society I thought t I recently brought in my fleet Forester for service and assure you I WILL NOT be back. As customer service continues to dwindle in society I thought the auto industry continued to one of the last industries to value customer service, loyalty and experience. My complaint is two fold 1) Service hours starting at 8am, really!! Having booked an 8am appt and then having to wait my turn for the sole person on your service desk with 5 people waiting their turn! 2) Finding out while there that you do not offer return pick up services BUT you are kind enough to provide transit fare and then require pick up before 5:30 is absolutely unbelievable and appalling. I work from home in a newer neighborhood with limited services and therefore took a cab to get my vehicle in a timely fashion in order to do my job and I could not do this fast enough. I am now writing the service dept as this is the only address given to me to write this concern. No other options to get this closer to the Williams family (found on the internet but no where in the dealership) whom I believe still own this dealership. I previously mentioned that this is a fleet vehicle BUT I am also a car owner and this was not an experience I expected or deserved in a day and age. More
Service of Non Excellence My Cross Trek keeps on cutting out and I needed to attend an urgent meeting. The service departmentt told me to book an appointment for a faulty senso My Cross Trek keeps on cutting out and I needed to attend an urgent meeting. The service departmentt told me to book an appointment for a faulty sensor which would occur in 2 weeks. I asked for immediate assistance and they said that I could leave the car but could not guarantee that they would get to it. What happened to stepping up to the plate in situations that call for excellence of service that leave a lasting good impression instead of walking off dumfounded that they just don't care . Selling the car and going back to Hyundai who always go out of their way to assist. More
