Non-negotiable price; devalues loyal customers; rude manager Do not usually post reviews, but agree with other negative comments - especially refer to Google Reviews of this dealership for more accurate/unfilter Do not usually post reviews, but agree with other negative comments - especially refer to Google Reviews of this dealership for more accurate/unfiltered feedback. Our families are longtime customers with multiple Subaru's purchased and serviced here - varied experiences over 8 years. Only reasons we return is because of convenient location, Steve in Services, and Rudy in Sales (who is no longer there). Last straw was this week. My wife and I were in for service and inquired about a demo vehicle with trade-in of Impreza (maintained by them). Were provided initial quote for each, which we attempted to negotiate as usual. Where to begin with what went wrong... (a) Sales Associate estimated $2,500 for trade-in vehicle on which all negotiations were based. Instead, General Sales Manager (GSM) offered $1,000 (less than half) without even seeing the vehicle, (b) GSM was condescending, rude, and poor attitude - he said all he cared about was profit and $$$ - wife mentioned that we were longtime loyal customers. He literally said "I don't care and I only care about profit". He even laughed at our offers, (c) we were interested in demo vehicle which had freight/PDI and other charges waived up front. Told that sticker/retail price is fixed/non-negotiable. This is the only dealership we've encountered who does not negotiate sticker price on demo vehicles, (d) wife contacted Bill Cathers, General Manager (GM) who listened but ultimately did not want to help. He even stopped responding to e-mails and doesn't fully address questions. He welcomes comments, but ultimately shoots them down and does not want to help in any respect. (e) this is the only dealership who rejected working with Car Cost Canada invoice prices. We received quotes from other dealerships in Brampton, Oakville, and Markham, who negotiated based on invoice price without questions asked, even down to 3% dealer markup - demo vehicles were also negotiable. Recommend dealing with others instead (Ollie at Subaru Markham is a dream and true salesman). Unfortunately for us, the only demo vehicle that met our trim and colour criteria was here, so we were forced to deal with them. I preferred a new Forester from Markham negotiated at <4% dealer markup or a discounted demo from Brampton, but wife insisted on this one because of colour and $$. Now we are stuck purchasing an older model demo vehicle at full retail price (with freight/PDI and other charges waived). Demo sticker price is NON-NEGOTIABLE, not even by one dollar...unbelievable! Will not price-match what other dealerships offer. We have never met such poor salesmen who are so defensive and uncooperative...and profit/money hungry with zero value on family customer relations. Gave them numerous opportunities to fix the problem and we even compromised on our price offers, but they are fixed and zero negotiable. Told wife and all relatives that we will not be returning here for other services. Don't do business with this dealership...believe the negative reviews. There are much better options available in the GTA (esp. Brampton, Oakville, Thornhill, Markham) and worth the distance/effort/commute. These folks do not value longtime customers and loyalty. More

Great buying experience! I was looking to buy another new car...I had previously bought a Forester from SOMI with Darryl Monisse a few years ago. Even though I live downtown, I was looking to buy another new car...I had previously bought a Forester from SOMI with Darryl Monisse a few years ago. Even though I live downtown, I decided to come back to Mississauga because of the excellent customer service, straight forward approach and attention to my needs, that Darryl shows. It was a pleasure working with him and Barry Furkawa , Business Manager, again. Once again, I was able to drive out in two days with my shiny, fantastic Forester! Of course, selling Subarus does make their job easier! :-) I strongly recommend Darryl Monisse and SOMI for your car needs. James. More
Brutal experience I have driven Subaru for many years, including racing the cars. I purchased a used outback as what is likely to be my last car. I am disabled and ha I have driven Subaru for many years, including racing the cars. I purchased a used outback as what is likely to be my last car. I am disabled and have a brain injury, Subaru was well aware of this when I made the purchase. In the 7+ months I owned the car, I was able to drive it 6 days only. Yes, you read that correct, 6 days. Even though the dealership was aware of all my injuries they sold me this car saying the previous owners maintained the car very well and they ahd done all the work. Nothing worked on this car. Each and every time i drove it all the warning lights went off, all of them. The staff at Subaru were great with me. Management sucked royally and have ruined my love of the car. They refused to honour the warranty on the car, refused to fix it, and the week my son went back to school told me they no logner want me as a customer as my expectaions were jsut to high for them anymore. Hmm, my cars warning lights dont go off? the engine runs smoothly? So there I was trying to get my son gback to school, with Subaru telling me I need to give them back their loaner even though I had no car to take my son to school. What a stress. Brain injured, disabled and told to get lost. I totally blame upper management for this, the GM's of the place. I ould never purchase a car from here again, I have already had friends refuse to purchase Subaru because of this. A multi billion dollar company refused to fix a brain injured, disabled fathers car for maybe 6-8 grand. The bottom line is of course more important then being kind in this day and age, Too bad the maths dont add up, 2-3 cars lost in sales, more to follow for a car repair cost..... Are these the people you really want to buy from? Go to another dealership maybe, not here. The warranty they give you is jsut not worth the paper it is written on. BEWARE. More
New car sales Back in 2015 I leased a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek and was impressed with the dealership's no nonsense and honest approach to car pricing. You get treated Back in 2015 I leased a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek and was impressed with the dealership's no nonsense and honest approach to car pricing. You get treated with respect and honesty. I just rolled over my lease and took possession of a 2019 Crosstrek. Darryl gave me the best possible deal without unnecessary haggling. He is a great gentleman to deal with and I have no issues recommending him to anyone More
