Subaru dealership?
 
I did not see a forum for automotive, so here I am.

I had spectacular experiences, both on the sales and on the service side, with my Wisconsin dealership.

There appear to be three choices to us. In ascending order of distance from The Villages:
- Villages Subaru of Leesburg
- Jenkins Subaru of Ocala
- Sport Subaru of Orlando

If you're a Subaru driver and have any shareable opinions, observations, or experiences, I am all ears.

I'm amenable to driving to the house that is the most honest and customer-oriented.

Thanks, in advance.

Drive a little farther and go to Subaru of Wesley Chapel. It's a new(er) dealership with a state-of-the-art service department. From sale to service everything was low key, friendly and efficient. If they're going to have your car for awhile they will give you a loaner. There is plenty of shopping and restaurants in the area to kill some time at.

Many thanks for the reply. This sounds like EXACTLY the type of storefront that suits me.

Our company has 2 Subaru Dealerships in New England. I have no experience with Subaru in FL, but I'll tell you this, Subaru is serious about Customer Satisfaction and Community Involvement.

Please see the attached.

We recently purchased from Villages Subaru in Leesburg.

We had an excellent experience. The salesman was very courteous. There was no pressure, no hard-sell.

They have two fellas on staff whose only job is to explain all the features of your new car. They take as much time as you need, and make sure all the settings are to your liking.

We were very pleased.

Avoid Jenkins.

ALSO have a Fantastic Experience
at the Villages Subaru of Leesburg

BOTH on the Sales Floor
and with the Service Reps

Jenkins dealership in Ocala
helped us decide on Leesburg

All I can say is there were many reviews about Jenkins and I'm not going to say whether they are good or bad but that you should read them in particular about the service department

I'm on my third Subaru and just had an extraordinary experience at the Leesburg Subaru which is under new ownership. They picked my car up ($30), texted when they started working on it, sent a video of the prechecks with the tech narrating it, found what needed to be fixed which was under mfr. warranty and the car is 5 years old. All the communications were excellent. My car buying experience was Ok with the former owners.

I’ve had great experience with Villages Subaru both sales and service department service and staff.

Had a very good experience buying a new Outback at Sport Subaru about a year ago after a not so good experience with Leesburg . The sales person at Leesburg tried to sell me a bunch of add-ons that I didn't want while Sport Subaru did not. Plus Sport Subaru actually discounted the price from sticker while Leesburg did not. Saved several thousand dollars by driving a bit.

I purchased a 2025 Outback from Village and have since took it in for a software update. I have had no problems, happy with dealership.

This was also our experience purchasing our new Suburu Forester last December 24th at Leesburg Subaru. No need to go all the way to Wesley Chapel.

We had a terrible experience at Jenkins Honda in Leesburg before deciding we wanted the Suburu. We’d never do business with any Jenkins dealerships now.

This was not our experience at all at Leesburg Suburu. Great discount from sticker on our Forester Limited, far more on trade-in for our 21 y/o Honda Odyssey than we ever expected, and no push for add-ons. Our salesman was Christian. Easy going young man.
