Overall a good experience. Their prices on used Subarus are a little higher than everyone else, but I would attribute that to their lifetime warranty on the drivetrain.

I bought my first car ever and I've always dreamed of having a Subaru. When it came time to purchase, Leo was so helpful, informative, and an overall genuine person to work with. Even when I came in 6 months after my purchase for my oil change, he took the time to talk to me about my car, personal life, and make sure I was shown around the new dealership. Amazing person inside and out, call him now if you're thinking about buying a Subaru!

Kelly did a fantastic job of helping my wife trade her legacy (which she had for a week!!!) for a outback. She worked with the manager to get us a fair price for both cars. We will definitely consider doing business with her again. Best car buying experience ever!!

Collin has been my Service Advisor for years and has always been great to work with. He explains everything well and helps me prioritize needed maintenance and repairs. The new location is beautiful - very impressive! The service area is so much brighter, lighter, and it's nice to have it separated from the actual service shop. The waiting area is much more comfortable; the amenities (coffee, snacks, fruit, drinks, etc.) are a nice touch!

My wife and I were referred by a friend to see Leo at Gerald Subaru back in June. We had a great experience! We had phoned in advance that we wanted to see him and the best new Forester model. When we arrived it was ready and he had another family there buying their second car in a month from him and they couldn't stop talking about how great Leo is with the whole experience. So after Leo's fanbase let us pull away Leo was able to spend the time to show us all the features that Subaru includes that other small SUVs miss. There are so many extras included that we were really blown away. I think the biggest reason why I wanted to write this review is because Leo listened and understood that my wife would be the primary driver and he took the time to show us all the little differences between this vehicle and others we were considering and that made all the difference for us. I can say going from Mazda to Honda to Toyota to Jeep and lastly Subaru, he was the most knowledgeable in the field. I've had other experiences where someone might say a manager can explain this later or brush over something, but not with Leo. He is a true professional in his craft and can hand hold you through all your questions and concerns. Six months after our purchase Leo is very responsive by phone and email with any questions. Couldn't be happier!!!

Kelly is amazing, knowledgeable, friendly, easy to work with ...we had fun. She even gave us a little Subaru gift, which got us even more excited about our new 2017 Forester. Because of that little gift, I have since ordered fun Subaru stuff from both your accessory department and gear store. You can tell Kelly loves Subarus and that is why she sells them.

Our salesman Christopher Vanlue was extremely knowledgeable about the different types of cars on the lot and the amenities they offered. Christopher was helpful throughout the entire car purchasing process and was eager to make our experience enjoyable. We are extremly pleased with the 2017 Subaru Forester we purchased. The amenities on our car such as the adjustable heated seats and moon roof are specacular. We are pleased with the 5 Star Safety ratings and are pleased that the Subaru Forester is rated as one of the top cars that offer excellent maneuverability in the snow. We purchased a maintainence package at an affordable price and are happy that we can go to the dealership in order to maintain our car with Subaru experts. We are looking forward to working with Gerald Subaru in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing car and outstanding service at an affordable price.

Kelly Thomas was our sales representative. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in our decision process. Then a few days later we returned to learn about all the new features in our new car. She patiently and cheerfully went over all and answered our questions. It was a pleasure working with her from start to finish. We know we can return when more question arise. We heartily recommend her!

I came to Gerald Subaru of Naperville to have a punctured tired fixed on my 2014 outback. While talking to the service person regarding my day's frustrations, I said: "I should just buy a new car". He turned to Kelly, who was standing next to him and introduced us. Kelly took me to view and test drive a 2017 Forester. I was impressed by the safety technology that the car was equipped with. I will be starting a new job in which my driving distance and time will increase and therefore thought how these features could be a life saver. Living in Chicago with our winters and construction seasons its better to be properly prepared. Kelly worked with me patiently and I never felt pressured by her. I LOVE that she is part of the sales team and I highly recommend her!

I began working with Eric Zetterlof over a year before I purchased my 2015 Forester on August 20, 2016. He knew that I was intending to purchase a vehicle to have for a number of years (previous vehicle was owned for 244,000 miles, 13+ years), but I was not able/ready to pull the trigger on the purchase yet. He helped me think through what I'd like, suited to my needs and desires, then shelved the info until I was able. Once the finances became available, I returned to Eric's desk, and the search began anew. He'd located 4 pre-owned cars, I tested them all, and settled on my Forester. All the paperwork was done, payment was made a couple of days later, and off I went. As I drove my Forester to work and back for a few days, I realized that I DID NOT like the ride, feeling that I now had a very rough ride, not unlike that of a truck (trucks of these days probably ride MUCH better!). (Could I get my Hyundai Santa Fe back???) Two weeks after I purchased it, I told Eric that I really wasn't happy with the car, given the ride. We agreed that I'd drive it for 2 weeks more, seeing if I got used to it. Two weeks later, I decided that it was OK. About a month later, I scheduled an appointment to have the protection coating applied (undercoating, body, interior), so was given a loaner of a 2017 Forester. Before I got halfway home, I realized that there was an incredible difference between what I'd bought, and what I was loaned. In the morning I aborted the protection process (which still has not been done), saying that I wanted to seriously look into a switch-up for a better ride. At this point (shortening the story), it seems that all I'd be given for my car is about $17,000, where I'd payed $26,000. I was horrified that there would be so much of a difference between those two values, and I felt as though I got somewhat jerked around on the price, especially by the fact that I'm stuck with a truck that has a car body. I am still trying to convince myself that I'll sooner or later get used to this ride, maybe before I'm dead and gone. I guess I'm naive enough so that I thought that Gerald would do more to help me remedy the (still very new) situation than buy the car back as a "used" car, giving bottom dollar for the car which (at that point) had about 17,500 miles on it. Needless to say, yes, I'm rather disgruntled, and will have a hard time endorsing Gerald Subaru in the future. I don't know Eric Zetterlof beyond my car buying experience, but have no tangible reason to believe that he didn't do what he could, start to finish, to make me a satisfied customer, so I'll be happy to endorse him and his efforts. I know this is not the kind of reviews which dealerships like to hear, but then, my car isn't the kind of car which I'd like to drive for the next 15 years either. Guess we both lose, huh?? :(

We are a one car family, so having the availability of a service loaner vehicle is crucial for us. So far in the last few years I've driven a Crosstrek, a Forester, and most recently a Legacy. The variety is great too as we are definitely planning for our next car to be a Subaru too!

We took an immediate liking to Nick Gruic, the young man who took care of us in our search for a pre-owned Forester with specific features within our price range, to replace my 14 year old Forester (also purchased from your dealership). His easy, personable manner, warmth and "genuine-ness" inspired trust and confidence, relaxing my initial unease and wariness over buying a used car from someone I didn't know. We also appreciated the helpfulness of Tony Mazany. Very nice waiting area, by the way.

Purchasing a used vehicle can be worrisome; however, with the assistance of Abid Khan at Gerald Subaru of Naperville, sigh of relief slowly took place. I purchased the Legacy with a very tight budget. Impressively, Abid and Anthony truly worked their magic! I left the dealership very pleased that late afternoon. Few days after I took the car home, it rained continuesly. Unfortunately, I noticed a weak dripped by the door. I was very nervous since I did not buy any warranty. In my head, I was on my own for the repair cost. My boyfriend did not think either that Gerald Subaru would help me out at that point , but I thought that it would not hurt to ask. Abid was just a text message away, so I went for it. He did not disappoint me. I was told to bring the vehicle back, so they could check it out. I made an appointment, and it was repaired/cleaned ( along with my little concerns) free of charge. The bonus, I was given my dream vehicle,Crosstrek, as my rental car! :DAmazing crew!!! I am very glad that I purchased my Subaru in this dealership!Thanks guys!

My husband and I walked into the dealership in Naperville. We were right away greeted by Eric Zetterlof. We discussed about what I was looking for, which I was not exactly sure yet, just a vague idea. Eric explained to me what makes Subaru stand out. He showed me around, checked what's on the showroom and on the lot. We left, I was undecided. He e-mailed me info, talked over the phone. I narrowed down my choices and Subaru was one of the top choices. I visited the dealership few times, talked about prices. (I would like to mention that there was another salesman who helped me looked at the cars while I was deciding if I should get silver or gray, Eric was off that day. Sorry I forgot his name. But it just showed me that they were willing to help even though I was already talking to Eric.) Eric looked for other options, including other brands, that were within my price range. He asked about my future plans. It got me thinking that I'll be retiring in 8-10 years and I don't want to buy another car. I finally decided to get a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. BRAND NEW!!! The shopping process was a pleasant experience. Eric was not rushing or pushing me. I felt that he was sincere in helping me. I love my choice. The car suits my need as an everyday car. It glides smoothly. I got the color that I want. I'm happy. Thank you, Eric, for your help.

Jesse BushHe always treated us as family.He listen to what I wanted and ONLY showed me what I was interested in.The manager was trying to help me, but Jesse understood what I wanted. I appreciated that. He did not try to push me to look at what was on site.It is WONDERFUL when dealing with a salesperson who does not try and push something that is not what I have told him/her that I am not interested in just to make a sale. I did purchase the car that the manager asked Jesse to show us even though it was not what I had wanted because I wanted Jesse to get the sale. It was close enough. I really did not mind waiting to get exactly what I wanted.

I bought my first Subaru, ever, from Kelly in July 2016 and in August of that year I was in a car crash. The car was totaled but it saved my life. Before that my girlfriend and I had driven it to Colorado and drove around the mountains for a long weekend. The car handled better than expect in every way, shape, and form. I loved that car so much and had such a great experience working with Kelly that I bought the same exact car from her a second time. I won't buy anything but Subaru from now on. If I do end up needing to purchase another one I'm going back to Gerald.

Mason Lies was awesome, he explained the details of the Impreza. The manager U. Rodriguez was helpful in assisting me in which car was best fit for my needs. I and narrow down my search and decided on a Subaru. The showroom was cleaned and staff were professionally looking.

Yesterday I wrapped up my deal to purchase a new Subaru Outback. My experience at Gerald was very positive. The new facility is very modern and clean and everyone was willing and able to assist in the process. They (Eric and team) were also very open to working with me and my wife on an extended test drive of the vehicle, which help the decision making process immensely.

I usually dont write reviews online; but in this case, the service was so above and beyond expectations that I felt I must share. Chuck Dziak is the Service Manager at Gerald Subaru of Naperville. I was having oil consumption issues and had been trying to get it taken care of all over the Midwest, as I constantly travel for work. I was getting discouraged until I talked with Chuck. He was extremely knowledgeable about the situation and the steps that needed to be taken to correct the issue. However, what I have been most impressed with is his willingness to work with me through the challenges of my work schedule. The problem solving and hard work that he put in to correct the issues has been the perfect example of impeccable customer service. I highly suggest this location to anyone in the Chicago area looking to either purchase or service a Subaru. It is absolutely worth a longer commute based on the service you get.

On my first visit (a Saturday) I was in a hurry. I liked that Nino McMorris puts himself out front, looking professional, clearly the person to approach for help. He put me with Mitch Vella immediately and Mitch took over from there. Mitch was very helpful, professional, honest and patient throughout all correspondence. Asim was working at a frenzied pace to process sales on Monday night. While I would have preferred to wait less, it was clear that everyone was doing whatever possible to take great care of customers. I drove 40 minutes from Hinsdale to buy from Mitch, Nino and Asim because your team demonstrates great customer care, far beyond competitors in my experience.

Our sales person, Kelly Thomas, set the tone right away for a great buying experience. She showed us all of the features of the vehicle, right off the bat and helped us set up the options and features before we drove off of the lot.We were given a very fair value for our trade in and Kelly worked with us, without bartering, to get the vehicle and features within our budget.We would definitely by from Gerald Subaru again.

This was a pleasant experience. Our salesman Nick was great. He has the car we purchased, so he was extremely knowledgable about the car. The finance part was very smooth. Tony seemed to put forth extra effort. We had gone to Gerald service dept with our previous Subaru, and because of the great service, we knew we would buy our next from Gerald, which we did. Very good dealership!

I have been shopping for an entire week for a much need new car. I literally went to just about every dealership in Dupage county.Gerald Subaru was my last stop, we were greeted by Mr. Mason Lies, without getting into details about my personal experience at literally every other dealership, I have to say that Mason was not only a wealth of solid information but also a breath of fresh air.He was so professional, polite and extremely knowledgeable about your fine product . Within minutes we test drove a Subaru Forester , and within an hour we were signing papers, and took the car home shortly after.I will tell everyone I know who is looking for a new car about your dealership,and I will also send them to Mason. I have to admit however, that my first impression of him was that he was way to young, but as soon as he started speaking my gut told me that this guy really knows this product and takes great pride in his work!Thank you very much for making this a pleasant experience for us and a special thanks to Mason, he is truly an asset to your company.

When I visited this dealership the first time, I was welcomed by Eric and Nino. At that point I was deciding between the Outback and Forrester. I was very impressed that both of them sent me an email right away letting me know they were happy to assist me and answer any questions I might have. When I returned to the dealership, Eric was very helpful, informative, professional, exhibited good listening skills, and 'no pressure' (which was perfect!). I was able to purchase my dream car, a Forrester, from Eric at a very fair price (thanks, Nino). I'm looking forward to many years of Subaru ownership and good service at this facility.

Enjoyed working with Eric on this purchase. He was able to find the right car for me, get the car transferred (from an another dealership) on a short notice, and had it delivered in time. Everything went quite smooth. He also took time to go over the controls and features of the car before I left the dealership. Really enjoying my new Subaru.

Our salesperson, Kelly Thomas, was instrumental in helping my Korean War Veteran friend secure his first Subaru ! We found Kelly to be accommodating, professional and knowledgeable ! Kelly took the time to explain the modern technology and benefits of the 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6r Touring Edition ! From the get go, Kelly was considerate enough to mail a Gerald Subaru of Naperville folder, along with her business card and an informational brochure on the 2017 Outback ! Nice touch ALL-STAR ! KUDOS AND 5 STARS TO KELLY, a true all wheel drive salesperson !

Kelly Thomas, was an excellent sales person to deal with, she had the answers to all of my questions without hesitation. As a second time buyer from Gerald. I will never consider walking into another dealership. I love the brand and this dealership beyond compare, it was the other dealers I have dealt with that lead me to this dealership in the first place, tired and frustrated with other dealership's ignorance of the product they were selling, and the way they treated customers that had questions, simple questions about their product that they just could not answer for a potential purchaser. Gerald does it right from the start to the finish, I am confident that any questions I have on my newest purchase will be handled professionally and expedited quickly as it has already been proven on my first purchase from Gerald and hopefully all of my future purchases as well. I have no reason to doubt this will not be the case with my current purchase, and I have a history of satisfaction to believe that it will continue to be so as well.Tom Hillmann

I was absolutely stunned when I saw my beautiful new car, I was so over joyed I was crying with happiness and I will never forget that moment. Leo Lopez was so incredibly helpful and insightful in helping explain all of the great features that my Subaru Legacy has. He took time to make sure I understood how everything worked and did a wonderful job of facilitating my family's decision to purchase a vehicle for me at Gerald Subaru. My experience in this process when compared to other experiences at other dealerships, I felt like Leo Lopez was exceptionally helpful and polite. He really made the experience excellent for my family and myself!

Cristian really helped us through our process. It took us a month to finalize on the vehicle we wanted and Cristian was extremely patient, helpful, and professional throughout the process. He took time to answer all our questions. If you are in the market for a Subaru, give Gerald Subaru Naperville a try and ask for Cristian.

I originally went there to look at the new WRX and see the value I would get for my current car, so I would have an idea of what exactly I needed when I was ready to buy. I was shown a beautiful black WRX premium and of course fell in love. When the numbers first worked out, it was uncomfortable for my budget. They kept working down the numbers for me until they gave me an offer I just couldn't refuse. I left with my new WRX only paying the first month's payment, and nothing else. I didn't feel completely pressured, but it was definitely an impulse buy because it was the car I've always wanted. I have no regrets right now with my decision. I have a brand new car with a payment that just fits into my budget, and with no problems to fix unlike my old car. John is an excellent sales rep, both my fiance and I felt comfortable with him right away, and was understanding on how big this decision was for me. His manager, Leo, was also persistent on getting me a price that was do-able for my budget. He definitely did not want me to leave without a car, especially seeing for himself that my car I had brought to trade in was falling apart, and had no A/C ontop of it on a super hot day. When I told him I'd be ready to buy in a few short months, he kept insisting I would get the car to enjoy what was left of this hot season and enjoy my A/C which I've never had. I love my A/C and I honestly don't know how I went so long without it!Asim was also great in concluding the sale. It was a friendly, easy and quick experience to finalize the sale. We got there at 6:30, and did not leave until about 10, when they closed at 9. John was leaving for vacation that night, but happily stayed until we left happy in my new car. That to me was definitely great customer service.

There was absolutely no pressure from anyone. The negotiating was fair and the sales staff were friendly and courteous. This is our first Subaru, we bought a Crosstek. We love it!

I recently purchased a 2017 Forester Touring for my wife. In 2015 we also purchased an Outback from Gerald Subaru. With a vast number of Subaru dealerships in the Chicago area the competition for customers is great. Gerald Subaru stands out from pack with great sales people, great service department, a super free lifetime engine/drivetrain warranty, and Starbuck coffee to mention a few perks.My current salesman, Mason Lies, not only takes a personal interest in his customers, he is also a Subaru owner an enthusiast. He was very helpful with his knowledge and commication skils from start to delivery. I strongly recommend Mason and Gerald Subaru if you are in the market for some safe, dependable, awd transportation.

John Rose did a great job showing us cars that fit what we were looking for. He was patient as we test drove three different cars. The third car we were pleased with and decided we would like to possibly buy if the numbers were within our preset budget. We were able to come to an agreement and ended up purchasing a 2014 Subaru Legacy. John and the rest of the staff at Gerald Subaru of Naperville we very helpful and were willing to work with us during the car buying process.

My wife really wanted a Subaru and even though they screwed up two deals before, I went in there today once again. After explaining what I was looking for to Cristian, he pulled in his sales manager Geraldo which meant I had to explain everything again. Geraldo was trying to show Cristian how to work a customer but failed miserably. He claimed he graduated in financial engineering but couldn't answer any of my questions. According to him, all dealers charge the same and the car price is all there is to negotiate, which in case of Subaru there is no negotiation. These two couldn't sell me water in a desert. Arrogant, badly trained, dismissive to my concerns and basically not fit to deal with customers. The manager at the main desk kept interfering as well. When Geraldo pulled up the Subaru website I just had to leave. I don't need to waste my time in a dealership when all I get is the info that is online, and neither should you.

I was looking for a new midsize sedan. I had heard nice things about Subaru cars offering better overall value than other competitors so I decided to test drive a 2016 Subaru Legacy. Kelly Thomas at Gerald Subaru was great in walking me through the features and the test drive. I was impressed by the overall offerings (standard all wheel drive, backup camera, safety rating etc.). I was looking for a particular price point to go ahead with this car. Kelly worked with me diligently to get the limited model that I was interested in. She was able to get the car from another dealership's stock within a day, and at a price point close to what I was looking for. I had a great experience with my purchase and would recommend this dealership.

I was very interested in Subaru as I have friends who own them. I made an appointment to come in and met Nick Gruic who was very knowledgeable and was able to test drive all of the vehicles I was interested in. He was able to point out all of the features that make Subaru Outback superior to other brands...the AWD all the time and independent suspension. Nick made my decision easier and was not pushy about making the sale which is very important to me. I would recommend this dealership and especially Nick to my friends and family.

The salesman Christian Alva really worked hard to understand my need; i test drove 2 cars and chose the lower cost one. He understand what features i needed and did not need. He worked hard to get me a good price. He was helpful, kept me appraised of everything that was going on. I was there for over 3 hours, so it was a long time for both of us, but he made it a very pleasant experience.

We came to Gerald Subaru because of the consumer reports review of Subaru. Our sales person was Abid Khan who was very friendly and knowledgeable.I would give the dealership 4 stars out of 5, only because they know they have a great product with limited availability, so they are "in the driver's seat" when it comes to negotiations.

We had a very positive car buying experience. Everyone was not only friendly, but also very patient with us, - and we really had lots of questions. Abid khan was awesome. He is a real expert in his field, and was very supportive in helping to make our choice by having provided us with all the necessary information. As a result, we have bought a great car at a very lucrative price. Good job, Abid! We also want to express our gratitude to Leo Katsnelson for his caring attitude and precious advice. Asim Aslam, a finance guy, did his job smoothly and surprisingly fast. We had an overall pleasant experience and highly recommend this dealership to everyone.

Gerald Subaru is a great place to purchase your vehicle! Eric Zetterlof is awesome and was extremely helpful and easy to work with! Really took the time out of his day to come in and help me finalize the purchase of my vehicle. He's a good guy and I would definitely recommend Eric to work with! Great Dealership, very happy with my car! No better place then Gerald Subaru of Naperville.

I've received an excellent service while purchasing my next Subaru (Legacy 2013). While shopping by myself I was pleasantly surprised to see a female salesperson. Kelly Thomas was extremely helpful, very friendly and made me feel comfortable to ask any "silly" questions about the car I was interested in. The whole experience made me feel at ease and I was able to make a puchasing decision without being pushed or pressured. I would definitely recommend this dealership and Kelly as an excellent salesperson.

Kelly Thomas was a kind and patient person who assisted me in getting my first car at a relatively reasonable market price. She often showed how much she cared for her customers with consistent offerings of food, water, and gas money (if you found the vehicle suitable to your liking). Asim was quick to work with and kind enough to allow me access to the vehicle before everything was in order.

I had my first Forester for more than a decade. Although I was very interested in the Crosstrek, I came in initially thinking I was going to get another Forester. After test driving both vehicles I ended up getting the Crosstrek and am so happy with it! My experience at Gerald was great -- Eric was absolutely fantastic to work with! He was very kind and patient with all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed. He took care to listen to what I was looking for in my next car, and made sure I was comfortable with my final decision. When it came time for financing I worked with Anthony, and I had a great experience with him as well. I truly appreciated how friendly both Eric and Anthony were. I would not hesitate to recommend Eric to family and friends looking for a car -- it was a pleasure working with him!

Jul 26, 2016
Largely because of Gerald's proximity to my residence and the smooth inter personal style of Ms Kelly Thomas both resulted in me purchasing my Subaru at Gerald. Kelly spent a lot of time with me and my wife both in person and via internet exchanges always either directly answering our questions or researching to find the answers as the 2017 Outback at this juncture was really new to the marketplace and even Subaru's web site had limited information. I am hoping that my favorable purchase experience continues through my servicing of my vehicle over time. Time will tell!

All the people of Gerald's Subaru were great, but I want to give a special "Thank You" to Eric Zetterlof and Asim Aslam for staying so late on a Tuesday night to get me the car I am so happy with! Eric was truly a delight to work with! He was very patient in finding a car with all my wants and needs, and I'm sure I will be driving it for many years to come. I will be recommending him to anyone looking for a new car!

Kelly was so much fun to work with. She treated me like a friend and not just a customer. She is very knowledgeable about her cars (safety features, all the moving parts, everything), she answered all of my questions (even ones I didn't know that I had!), and she spent hours talking with me without getting pushy or annoyed. This whole car buying experience was honestly enjoyable. I highly recommend going to Gerald and asking for Kelly in you are in the market for a Subaru.

Service Adviser Collin Miranda's attention to detail regarding the 30 month inspection was much appreciated. I also requested if he could ask the body shop for an estimate to repair some minor damage to the front bumper. He did that, but also was able to buff out most of the scratches himself. Because of his effort, I am so grateful that it won't be necessary to have to repair the bumper at this time.

I really didn't even plan on buying a car today. I was in the area and decided to stop in and see what was available. I was greeted at the door by Eric, who genuinely seemed interested in helping me and not JUST selling a car. I told him I wasn't likely to buy anything today, but he continued to treat me as if I was the only thing that mattered at the time. After chatting a short time, Eric said he had something that he thought would be perfect for meand, he was right! I ended up falling in love with a 4 door impreza and Eric offered me a deal I simply couldn't refuse. I never would have imagined buying a car could be so easy, and actually enjoyable! I would HIGHLY recommend going to Gerald and asking for Eric if you are on the market for a Subaru.

I didn't feel any pressure from them and feel that they weren't trying to dupe me into something. They explained everything to the T and I would come here to buy all of my future Subarus. Nick and Anthony were particularly great to work with!

I just wanted to pick up something I could use to run around and take to work. I have a job at a quarry and do not want to take a used car there. So Instead I picked up a 2001 Toyota Camry. I was unsure about the price because It was not what I was looking to spend, but we definitely worked out something I felt more comfortable with. I would definitely come back here. Kelly was very nice and she was also very good at listening to my concerns about the car.Anthony was very polite and very helpful.

Gerald Subaru of Naperville made the entire process of buying our new 2017 Outback painless! In fact, I may go so far as to say it was a pleasant experience and a great learning opportunity for my two children. Our sales rep was Mitch Vella and he went out of his way to help us find the car we wanted and negotiate a price that we were looking for. He met with us the next day to go over all the technology on the car and took us out to demonstrate some of the features. I'd HIGHLY recommend both Mitch and Gerald Subaru of Naperville for your next car purchase!

The environment is no pressure and the staff is very personable. I have a 20 year relationship with my Ford dealer, Subaru made the decision to switch extremely difficult and sales staff was very respectful of that. When I purchase a car I just don't buy the car or the brand, I also want a relationship with my dealer, and this is a great start.

My family and I chose to go car shopping at this location because we were referred by friends who had purchased a Subaru from Gerald Subaru a few months ago. When we decided to buy a car we wanted to go to a place that had integrity and good customer service and we were happy to find that to be the case. Our salesperson, Leo Lopez was friendly and authentic, he asked us what we were looking for and was immediately able to narrow down our search to the best options. It was such an easy transaction and with his naturally upbeat personality it made the purchase even more enjoyable. It is without hesitation that I recommend this dealership to anybody who is looking to buy a car. We have had our Subaru Forester for 2 weeks and we love it. Leo called us to follow up to see if we had any questions and to make sure everything was good, which in my opinion was very nice. We opted to get the interior and exterior treated with sealant to protect the car and to keep it nice for longer and we were also extremely impressed with the service department as well. Collin was very personable and helpful and made us feel comfortable and welcome. Looking forward to continuing to do business with this dealership for years to come!

As a single, almost senior citizen woman, searching for a new car and making the rounds of dealerships can be somewhat intimidating. On my first visit to Gerald Subaru and introduction to Sales Consultant Nick Gruic, I was surprised by his youth. (I later learned that, to his credit, he is a full-time College student - a senior - earning his way through College as a full-time employee.) Though younger than most salespersons I had encountered, I soon discovered that Nick is very knowledgeable of Subarus and cars in general. He is the best kind of salesperson in that he understands from personal experience the challenge of deciding upon the purchase of a car, has thoroughly done his research (he drives a Subaru) and is sold on the product. His genuine personality and honesty immediately put me at ease. He was gracious and patient in answering my questions and took the time to allow me to test drive vehicles on two separate occasions to give me opportunity to confidently make a decision. There was never any sense of pressure, but merely his availability to assist in the process. When the decision was made to purchase a car, I felt like he was 'in my corner' when it came to negotiating the best price with his superiors and securing the best car for the money. After the deal was struck, he went over and above helping me move heavy boxes from my old car to the new, and seriously went to battle removing the license plates from my 19 year-old car to place them on the new one. He was gracious and kind throughout, and stayed hours after the usual closing time, to check in after the paperwork had been completed to insure I had all that was needed before leaving. I can wholeheartedly endorse Nick as an all-around good guy and someone who makes the car buying process as painless as it can be! I would also like to give a shout-out for his co-worker and sales consultant Cristian Alva for his helpfulness during a visit when Nick was unavailable due to other customers. I'm very pleased and grateful for my new car.

It was 20 years since I purchased a vehicle, so I was concerned and skeptical, but my experience with Dana and Nino, especially Kelly, put me at ease. They were courteous, professional and listened to my wants. I went to other dealerships, but because Kelly took the time to explain the unusual engine, the extra support structure and showed me the entire workings of the Forester, I came back to Gerald to purchase the Subaru.

I didn't mind too much paying a little more though considering the service was better and John Rose was a lot more knowledgeable and helpful than other salespeople at other dealerships I had been to. John Rose was a wonderful sales person, Dana Armitage was attentive and responsive to my emails, and Anthony Mazany worked patiently with me to make sure I was comfortable with my financing plan for my new car.

May 20, 2016
We bought a Subaru Outback last year at a competitor that pulled some last minute tack-on sales crap when we were at the financing desk. That left us a bit apprehensive about our buying experience this time out but we were impressed with the experience at Gerald Subaru. Salesman was professional, knowledgeable & not pushy during our initial test drive visit. Price negotiation went very well - got a very competitive price but options seemed a bit high - we negotiated those down to everyone's agreement. Closing the sale was refreshing - no last minute tack-on crap like at the other dealer - care & service packages were pitched professionally without being annoyingly sold. Would definitely recommend Gerald Subaru & the staff we worked with: Len Batson, Dana Armitage, Leo Lopez & Abid Khan.

I leased a 2016 Subaru Legacy 2.5 Limited and Gerald Subaru of Naperville really went above and beyond to find the car that was right for me. Eric really listened to what I was looking for in a vehicle and this lead to a car that had so much more than what I expected to get. They really worked with me and my budget in order to get me into the vehicle I wanted. I would highly recommend this dealership, Eric, Tony and Nino to anyone looking to get a quality vehicle.

You guys are superb!We went to the dealership at 6pm and Kelly Thomas was very quick in taking us through the details of the car and we had a quick test drive. We liked the car and finalized on the price in next 15-20 minutes.

I knew I wanted to purchase an Impreza after test driving several sedans, and the staff at Gerald Subaru was very accommodating to my situation. Graduating college later this week, I neither had an extensive credit history or a true paycheck yet. However, Anthony was able to find me a deal that would cost me marginally more than what it would have cost to have a cosigner (which we decided beforehand should be my responsibility), based on my scheduling history at school and job offer letter. Additionally, Cristian was very responsive to any concerns me and my mom had regarding the car itself, as well as anything Subaru related. He came to the dealership to close out the deal on his day off, and even paid for some touch-up paint out of his own pocket to make sure I had everything I needed! I would recommend Gerald Subaru to anyone looking to buy a new, reliable car at an affordable price.

I have not purchased a new car in over 12 years. So, there is a lot of technology and advancements in the industry that I have not experienced. I asked a lot of questions, and test drove several cars before I made my decision. What I appreciated most at Gerald Subaru was their patience.

The whole staff at Gerald Subaru are cordial and pleasant. These people enjoy their job because it shows in how they acknowledge your presence. I'm very happy with my recent purchase that my husband actually introduced me to. I've never owned a Subaru or heard of this brand and when my 12 year old car was not feeling safe in the Chicago winters it was time to upgrade. He bought his Suburu from this dealership and had the best service so there was no question that we would be purchasing my car here. After visiting the auto show and determining the car we had in mind, we finally made the decision one Saturday to go looking. We met Leo Lopez, and I really enjoyed his down to earth, friendly, calm demeanor and Professionalism. We had to order my car and he kept in touch with me when it came in and confirmed our pick up appointment. Car buying has definitely changed and its painless when you deal with someone like Leo who knows his product and likes what he does. It shows. Leo made my experience exceptional. Other dealerships my Husband and I went to pressured us, and did not make us feel comfortable. Working with Asim (signing our life away) made the experience fun. I felt he really looked out for us and kept us within our budget. Everyone in this dealership has a smile on their face and greets you.

This dealership has the perfect balance of being helpful without being pushy. They worked with me over the phone to help me start the process of applying for credit etc. without having to make the drive to the dealership. I was impressed with their lifetime warranty which was why I felt it worth the drive to Naperville from Mount prospect to work with them even though there were many dealers in between I could have gone to. I'm glad I made the drive. Kelly Thomas was my dealer and she made me feel comfortable and welcome. She was very knowledgeable about the car and showed me features that other dealerships had failed to mention. She worked hard to find me the car I wanted and have it transferred from another dealership within the week so I could purchase it. I am very grateful to her and I recommend her. I worked with Asim Aslam for my financing. He and Kelly got me a great finance rate even though I have almost no credit to speak of. I was pleasantly surprised to get under the monthly payment I wanted. They offered me coupons and deals to make the extra options more affordable. This is a great dealership to work with.

I would first like to say I had a wonderful experience purchasing my Subaru yesterday.Your staff is extremely talented. Leo Lopez is amazing . His excellent customer service skills won me over.I had two other dealer who had the car in stock wanting to sell me my Crosstrek. I had a deposit on one. And the other was giving me a significant discount. But Leo's personality , knowledge and excellent customer service won my business.It takes time to build a connection with a client, Leo can do this in one phone call.You have the perfect person working for you. My family and I loved that he was bilingual. I know they will be calling on him for our next Subaru purchase.I don't want to forget the rest of your team since they contributed to my experience. K.C from parts was awesome. He helped locate an item I needed and gave me advice , extremely friendly. I will definitely order more items. Tony from finance he was Amazing. He made signing my life away ( joke ) fun. It was pleasure buying my car from Gerald Subaru.

The people will be what we remember about the buying of a Subaru. We were there to 10PM (mostly waiting to talk to the finance director, Asim Aslam as he had another couple in front of us). Even though both the salesman, Mason Lies and Asim appeared to have young children at home, and the dealership closes at 9PM, at no time did we feel we were a burden or did we feel rushed to get through the paperwork. Both individuals apologized for how long we waited and were very professional.

Apr 27, 2016
Our experience with Gerald Subaru began with a phone call to determine if a pre-owned vehicle that I found on the internet was still available. My call was answered by Kelly Thomas. She immediately searched the dealership's inventory and found the vehicle which was located at a lot in North Aurora. I told her that I would like to see the car that afternoon in about one hour. Kelly immediately went to the lot, located the car, and brought it to the Naperville location. My wife and I arrived just as she was parking the car at the Naperville location. She warmly introduced herself and began to displaying the vehicle while answering our frequent questions. She then asked us if we would like to take it for a test drive. We did and loved the car. After our drive we sat down at her desk and she told us about the dealership. She also showed us a price tag that was on the car with a reduced asking price. Our conversation was more like a friendly visit rather then a negotiation session. Kelly was very helpful in providing information about an extended warranty and what our options would be. She then introduced us to Leo Katsnelson. who was able to provide us with pricing information on the extended warranty.Through the whole process we did not feel that we were high pressured to purchase the vehicle. Kelly and Leo put the price and our options on the table and it was up to us to decide. We actually left that day (Saturday) to think about the car and returned after the weekend to purchase the vehicle.We enjoyed working with Kelly, Leo, and Anthony Mazany (who did the final paperwork on the purchase). They are very professional in there approach to their customers. Because of this approach we would return to Gerald and recommend the dealership to our friends who might be interested in purchasing a vehicle.

Not sure if I got lucky, but this was probably one of the more professional, yet comfortable, car buying experiences I've had. Every single person we interacted with was personable, professional, and did not look down on you. The salesperson I dealt with really was able to take the customer service experience to a level beyond what I was expecting. I absolutely recommend giving this dealership a shot and see if this is who you'd like to do business with. Below is my experience with Gerald Subaru of Naperville:I was on the search for a WRX in a specific trim, color, with all the right options -- this location was the only one that had THE car that checked all the boxes. Called ahead to see the vehicle was directed to Eric Zetterlof, one of the newer sales consultants at Gerald Subaru (more about the experience with him later). We drove an hour down to the dealership and met Eric, who was very personable and was not very pushy at all. He gave us space to take the time to really look at the vehicle while standing off to the side, ready to answer all the questions we had, including a brief discussion on Gerald Subaru's Lifetime Powertrain warranty. We did not discuss any of the numbers, but told him we'd be back the next day in the morning after assuring him we were very serious about purchasing this specific WRX (we missed out on another WRX at another location by only a few hours after dismissing that salesperson's comments about WRXs selling very quickly). His professionalism and un-pushy approach made us feel more confident in working with him in purchasing the car. We returned the following day at the promised time. While normally his day off, Eric came to the dealership ready to give us the full customer service experience Gerald Subaru had to offer. After another walkaround the vehicle, we started playing the numbers game. Eric maintained a professional demeanor that I seem to find lacking in many locations -- he did not berate us for our offers, did not become annoyed/frustrated at any point in time with us, his body language remained neutral throughout negotiations, and most importantly, he was very personable all throughout, from the second we stepped in the dealership to when we got in our newly bought WRX. After Eric going back and forth with the sales manager, Ubaldo Rodriguez, Ubaldo eventually came over and introduced himself after we started throwing serious numbers his way. A dynamic and personable individual, Ubaldo was not like the usual hard-headed sales manager that'll try to belittle you for throwing a less-than-desirable offer their way. He kept it professional, talked to us as if we were equals, and never raised his voice/berated us while we were negotiating. Eventually, he threw a number our way that we were able to agree upon. Once the numbers were sealed, we took the car out for a spin to make sure everything was in the clear. Right before test driving, we were introduced to the person who would handle financing, Anthony Mazany. He briefly discussed how the monthly payments will breakdown, how much we were set to finance, confirmed our down payment, and went over the terms on the vehicle (amount to finance, APR, payment terms). When we were in Anthony's office, it was required that the sitting was recorded to ensure compliance with Subaru guidelines in terms of offering every Subaru customer the same deals and information to ensure total fairness and uniformity across their customer base. I thought that was neat and haven't seen that anywhere else. He was patient as we reviewed all the papers, discussed the usual optional packages/protections you can add to your monthly payments, and made sure to answer our questions. As with Eric and Ubaldo, Anthony was very professional and very clear in discussing the details with financing.After the paperwork was finished, the vehicle was taken back to the service area to be cleaned and prepped. Meanwhile, we shared some stories and chit-chat with Eric. Again, a very personable salesperson. The vehicle was parked in front of the doors after being "cleaned" for us to walk around and inspect; however, a quick inspection revealed that there was still dust everywhere and some light scratches on the driver side front fender & door. While nothing significant, I mentioned these issues to Eric, who became clearly disappointed in the vehicle being presented in this manner. He immediately went to his manager to discuss and brought a porter over to take back to the service area to clean the vehicle properly, have the scratches buffed out, and the whole vehicle waxed. Eric was very apologetic the entire time and sincere about the error in presenting our newly purchased vehicle in a less-than-perfect condition. The vehicle came back after being freshly waxed and Eric went over all the spots that may have gotten missed and really made sure that EVERYTHING was clean and sharp -- it was clear he wanted to deliver nothing less than perfect to us and said that he'd discuss this mishap in correcting how new vehicle purchases are handled.Once everything checked out, we shook hands with Eric. Wished each other the best of wishes and parted ways. Talk about a pleasant experience -- even if it took a few hours!

I have been to many dealerships in the past, for myself and with family members. This has by far been my most favorite experience!I had the absolute pleasure of working with Dana Armitage in sales and Asim Aslam in finance. I was impressed by the amount of time and effort they were willing to spend to ensure that I was satisfied. They were both consistently professional and I never felt pressured to purchase, which is highly important to me. Both Dana and Asim were extremely patient with me, and even stayed late so that I could make a decision without any pressure.I went in to the dealership with the intention of only going for a test drive and walked out with a brand new Subaru Forester, and I couldn't be happier with the deal or the service!I recommend Gerald Subaru of Naperville to anyone who is looking for a great deal and quality service!

I worked with Dana Armitage in sales, who was a an absolute pleasure! He was professional, detailed and quick. He listened to what I was looking for, provided solutions and in the end, I walked away a satisfied customer. My trade in had a lot of negative equity so making a deal that was satisfying to me was a challenge. In order to make the deal work, he enlisted the assistance of Asim Aslam in Finance. It took a little back and forth between the Finance department and the bank, however in the end, the dealership's influence came through and I ended up with a great deal!I've dealt with many dealerships over the years, but this experience was hands down the best. I also noticed how they were dealing with other customers and I was impressed.I recommend Gerald Subaru in Naperville to anyone!

I purchased a Subaru Legacy in March of 2016 from the Gerald Subaru dealership in Naperville, Illinois. Everyone was gracious, especially John Rose. He listened to my needs, did not apply pressure, and settled on a fair price quickly. My questions were answered with his follow up calls. John is the consummate salesman, and the Naperville dealership is fortunate to have him on their team. I would highly recommend John and your dealership. Kathleen D.

Nick Gruic is a very friendly and knowledgeable salesperson. Although it was 2 months from the time I first came to Gerald Subaru, until I purchased the car, Nick kept in touch, but did not bombard me with calls asking when I would make a decision. I appreciate that. When I finally decided to purchase a Forester, I didn't hesitate to contact Nick, and he was a pleasure to work with during the entire process.

Our salesman Leo Lopez was fabulous. I called the dealership during the month of March interested in information and he invited me to come in and discuss about purchasing a new Subaru. From the first moment he was waiting for us at the door and was very attentive and knowledgeable of the Subaru product. I explained that I would be able to purchase once we closed on our house and he was very understanding and called to follow up on the purchase. The day e bought the car I called him on my way to the Dealership and he immediately went around the lot identifying possible choices. When we arrived he had everything ready so I did not have to waste time. He worked with the price and what I was looking forward to paying. He stayed within my budget. He presented all the additional products and services and was gracious not pushy, making our experience a great one. We will definitely be back soon to purchase another Subaru for my husband.

The dealership worked very hard to find the exact vehicle I wanted and within a very short time frame. They also were able to put the protective coating on the car before I needed to leave town. The salesman, Mitch Vella, was very friendly, helpful, and willing to spend time in the test drive and after I bought the car to explain many of the car's features.

The showroom is pleasant and all of the staff are very friendly and not pushy. We especially enjoyed our treatment by John Rose. We were on overload with his thorough explanation of our Subaru before we left. And we had a good tour of the shop.

My first visit to the dealership was on a Monday to learn about the various models, features and pricing. Eric met me in the lot with a friendly smile. He reviewed the differences in vehicles, optional protection packages and answered all my questions - knowing that I wasn't buying a vehicle on that visit. My husband I returned on Thursday after we narrowed down our choices to test drive two different models. Eric again answered questions and genuinely made us feel that he wanted to help us select a car perfect for us - not just sell us a car to make a commission. Over the years we've bought many cars from other dealerships in the area. This is the first time I felt like someone really wanted to work with us instead of for themselves. We were able to work a deal that we felt comfortable with - without a lot of unnecessary haggling and time wasting. We then met Tony in the finance office where he handled the business side of things along with the extended warranty. He presented those options (and pricing) to us in a way that we could see value in them instead of scare tactics or high pressure sales. I rarely see this level of service and especially at a car dealership. I'm very impressed with Eric, Tony and all the other staff we encountered during our visit.

Salesman was awesome! He explained things thoroughly. Didn't hurry us to make a decision on model (we knew we wanted a Subaru, but were trying to decide between models) - he made sure we looked at several to make an informed decision. He seemed genuinely interested in helping us - not just selling us a car. Finance guy was great too. Explained benefits of warranties (which we ended up buying), but not high pressure. In fact, there was nothing in the process that felt high pressure like we've seen at other dealerships when we've purchased cars in the past. At Gerald, it felt like everyone was working WITH us throughout the process, which made for a great experience. Would definitely buy another Subaru from Gerald next time we're in the market for a car.

Great experience. Rep knew them options, pros and cons, etc and discussed what I was looking for intelligently.....as opposed to trying to sell me what was on the lot. Financing was easy and straightforward.

Everyone was very nice and pleasant. Christian was energetic and was interested in talking to me even though he didn't know if I'd buy a car that day. I was at another auto dealer the same day and nobody offered to talk about the cars they were supposed to be selling. They were much more interested in ordering lunch.

Tony,Kelly,Leo, they were so friendly and helpful. Kelly helped me the first day and made me feel comfortable. She was really knowledgeable. She didn't pressure me and that's probably why I made a decision so quickly to come back. (I hate push sales people it is a turn off for me) Tony was helpful and let me take the car for an over night so my husband could see and experience the car. (We work opposite schedules and it is hard for us to get time to car shop) He was friendly and also no pressure. Leo did our paperwork when I came back. He helped me setup my car explained everything to me and my husband.

My old Subaru was totaled in a crash a week ago. I am new to the Western suburbs, so was hesitant where to shop, as the new car purchase experience has always been frustrating - I hate the negotiation game I've had to play in the past. I've owned Subaru cars for 20 years, and was not planning a purchase under such time pressure. My sales guy Eric Zetterlof was great to work with, not pushy or slimy. He asked lots of questions about what I liked/didn't like and really listened. Eric scrambled to get the car ready, went through all of the technology that is totally new to me, & made me comfortable in my selection. The price negotiations with managers was brief, & I think both sides came away happy.There was no hard sell on warranties, financing, etc, which was welcome.All said, it's still not fun, but the people at Gerald made it better than any other dealer I've worked with.

As soon as I walked in to the dealership, Leo came to me, greeted me & introduced himself. I told him what I had in mind & what I was looking for. There was no untoward sales pitch & he worked with me. He also got back to me right away, when I had to call later for some more information. All in all, a very positive experience & none of the scamming tactics. I was given a fair & good deal & I am one happy customer.

After searching on the internet for a few brands that I was interested in, one car that stuck out was a Scion at Gerald Subaru. Abid was very quick to help me when I walked through the door. He answered all of my questions, and was very patient when I was getting the car inspected by my mechanic (which ended up taking over an hour.) Overall, I am very satisfied with my car, the price I paid for it, and the general service I received from Gerald Subaru. I would recommend this place to anyone.

This was our first Subaru purchase and we went to Gerald Subaru after another dealer let us down in what they had promised. Eric Zetterlof and Ubaldo Rodriquez were super to work with and told us what they could do for us and then did it. We are delighted with our new Forester and would definitely go back again.

Salesmen were informative and answered all of my questions. Spending so much money at once is stressful. I was stupid enough to pay for extended warrenty and maintenance plan. Pretty sure anything that happens to my car will not be covered. I disagreed with what they gave me for my old car and I had to pay $500 in repairs on it.
Patrick
Mar 22, 2016
Knowledgeable employees. Friendly, but not overly so. Listened to what I was looking to buy and at what cost. handled the entire process - test drive, info on car, trade in appraisal, discussion of options, review of ancillary service coverages, finance options and a thorough walk thru of how the various electronic features of the new car work. Never felt pushed, stalled, twisted or turned in the process. They treated us in a very professional manner.

I worked with Leo Lopez at Gerald Subaru in Naperville. I began my connection with the dealer on the internet. Once I arrived in person, I was connected with Leo who was friendly, sincere and a pleasure to work with. Leo found the new 2016 Outback I was looking by searching inventories at other Chicago land dealers. The finalization of the transaction was transparent and fair.Leo is a gentleman and very professional.

Eric helped us through the various options and packages available, and was friendly and patient when we could not decide between the Forrester and the Outback. We eventually settled on the Outback, and then Anthony was able to work the numbers so that we could get the cost and payment we were looking for. They both were very focused on helping us, while not pressuring us to make a quick decision. I highly recommend Subaru, and Gerald Subaru of Naperville.

I took my Forester in for body work as someone hit my bumper. The Body shop team did a wonderful job on the car. The lady at the front desk answered all of my questions in a professional and friendly manner. She provide all needed information about getting a rental car and called them to pick me up. She explained the process and the warranty information. I was also awestruck with delight that your team cleaned my car inside as well as outside. My family thought I got a new car. Having an accident where you are not at fault can be emotional plus time consuming. I would like to thank the body shop team for doing a great job and would recommend your shop to anyone who needs work on their car. I plan now to take my car in for an oil change at the service dept instead of going back to grand subaru in elmhurst (You are closer to my home). Thanks again.

I liked the low pressure approach of the sales people and the knowledge of my particular salesperson (Mitch V.). I need to throw a shout out to Joe and Nick as well--they were both really helpful (with good people skills, as well). One of the nicest things (aside from those I mentioned above) was that Joe told me that Subaru has an arrangement with Enterprise--I could just leave my rental car at Subaru and Enterprise would come pick it up. It made the transition into a new vehicle seamless and easy.
Deep

We would strongly recommend this dealership and specially Nick. This was our 5th car buying experience and exceeded our expectation. We wanted to drive the car when the weather was bad to see the effect of AWD but didn't wanted to leave the comfort of home. Nick was nice to bring the car home. Joe was really helpful in getting the color we wanted. Asim made the finance paperworks go as smooth as possible. Even after we bought the car, Nick followed up on regular basis to make sure the car meets our expectation. If you are planning to buy a Subaru... This is the place to go....

Service was Professional, efficient and attentive.SALES MGMT. is untrustworthy and unreliable!! I asked several times for a copy of the Monroney Sticker...I was assured they would find it and give it to me and so we agreed to purchase the Outback model that had been used as a Loaner. But the Sales Management never produced the Monroney...they finally told me they couldn't find it, but would order one from the Factory. I asked three different times over a period of five weeks and have never received the Monroney Sticker. Theirperformance is untrustworthy and disingenuous (liars). So now you know why I would not recommend this Dealership. The Service Department, on the other hand, has been professional and reliable and I would recommend the Service Dept.

I came into Gerald knowing what vehicle I wanted but was blown away by the outstanding service I recieved. Eric was very friendly and courteous to myself and my girlfriend. He provided us with accurate information, great personal experiences and even offered us something to drink while we waited! Anthony came to thank me for coming in and answered a few questions I had about financing before I put down my deposit to order in my brand new car. When my car came in I promptly received a phone call from Eric and was quite excited. Setting up the finances with Asim was a breeze, he offered all warranties and explained them so I could understand. If there were any problems I would receive a phone call and things were figured out with ease. Overall a great experience from Eric, Anthony and Asim!!

I went to this dealership because they had the vehicle that I knew I wanted. After test driving the vehicle, it was time to haggle pricing. What they wanted to offer me for my trade-in was ridiculously low compared to what it was worth. I had an appraisal from Carmax in hand. They were eventually able to work with me and I can say I am satisfied with the final price. I love my new Outback!!! Thank you, Cristian!

Gerald Subaru is THE place to buy a new or used Subaru. Nick was incredibly helpful from the first time I came in to view the few Subaru's I had in mind, to the day of my purchase. After talking and looking at some different options, he even had a Crosstrek in mind that was perfect. Upon my return visit for a test drive, the Crosstrek I fell in love with was still there and I ended up making a purchase that evening. The fair pricing, features, and packages offered were unbeatable and Tony and Joe, the sales managers, did everything they could to get me the best price for my new Subaru. The lifetime warranty is absolutely unheard of, and I recommend anyone who is thinking of buying a Subaru to go directly to Gerald. They're courtesy, knowledge, and attention to detail gave them the winning edge. I know I will be going back to Gerald when I'm ready for my next Subaru.

I returned to Gerald Subaru to buy my second Subaru, a 2016 WRX. My previous purchase was a 2014 Legacy for my wife. To show how much I recommend Gerald Subaru, I drive 4.5 hours from central Iowa to do business. Eric worked with me over the span of many months searching/ordering the perfect car for me. He made it his mission to ensure I was satisfied with every step of the process.

Pretty much a positive experience, although visiting any car dealer is painful. I saw on the web this Forester and decided to check it out. I was greeted promptly by salesman Eric who quickly took a copy of my DL, found the keys and off we went within 15-20 minutes. We came back and I decided to purchase. Eric took whatever paperwork he needed from me and went back and forth to the sales manager. This was time consuming and I made sure Eric knew I wanted in and out ASAP. OK, this was the painful part on the first day. There was no haggling on the price, although the trade-in they quoted was less than I expected. I spent about 1.5 hours this day. I said I'd come back in a couple days, but they tried to get me to buy at that moment. That was the only pressure that day. I came back after the weekend and Eric was already there - said he came in early to get the paperwork up to speed. Then off to the finance guy. This was painful. Sign this, sign that, why won't you buy an extended warranty - it's such a good deal. The finance charge initially was 4.99%, but after the guy called the bank, and sold me a basic warranty at 1/2 cost, the finance rate went to 2.39%. Hmmm. Anyway this day I was at the dealer for 1.5 hours, too. Too long if you ask me.Gerald dealership gives you an exclusive lifetime powertrain warranty. That's nice. Overall, you got to watch out for yourself at all these places, but this was pretty straightforward.

My family has been past customers from here in the past but now it was my turn to buy my first new car. I came in unsure of what I wanted, just that it had to be a Subaru. My dream car was always the WRX STI but I didn't think it was feasible vehicle to purchase. With the help of the salesman who assisted us, Nick, we were able to work out a great deal on it that worked right for me and all the sudden the dream wasn't a dream anymore. I'm so glad I didn't settle for anything else. I've driven this car for over a week now and couldn't be happier with my purchase or the help I received from Gerald's.

I had bought a Forester about a year ago and it was a pleasure to deal with them. Accepted my "true Car" quote without games being played or any pressure whatsoever to purchase the myriad of options I didn't want or need. The most pleasurable car buying experience of my 70 yr life. So it was a no brainer to seek them out again when I thought I would be in the market for a new one but personal circumstances changed as did our purchasing plans but they will definitely be in the top of the list of dealerships in the future.

I went for an oil change. My Serviceman brought up my profile, then expected my tires and recommended the tire rotation before just assuming I would simply do it.

Recently I visited Gerald Subaru of Naperville because I was interested in learning more and test driving the Subaru Crosstrek. Upon walking on to the lot, salesman John Pryor greeted my dad and I and was instantly ready to help us. He took the time to answer our questions and didn't make us feel rushed. I asked my dad to join me that day because he has bought several cars over the years. When my dad said that John was one of the top salesmen that he has encountered, that is a big compliment. John wanted to make sure we had a positive experience and that showed in all of his actions. Overall, the experience was top notch at Gerald. From beginning to end, we were happy with the service. To top it all off, I am driving a fantastic new car!

Customers are treated with respect by knowledgeable, helpful members of the Subaru service department. I know that I can trust the service team to do excellent work on a car that is very important to me. I have been a customer for many years, and the customer service has been exceptional. I have told many people that I am a loyal customer for two reasons: the product and the service department. Both are of the highest quality.

Though this review is a little delayed, I had been in the market for a new vehicle in early 2015 cross shopping the 2015 subaru WRX, VW golf GTI and focus ST. I had been in communication with the "internet sales manager" multiple times and had been informed as the wax was so new they did not have any and he would contact me when one became available. Upon inquiring a few weeks later I was informed that they had a new wrx with the cvt transmission available to take look at, thus we made an appointment to see it. I had confirmed again the morning 2 hrs before our appointment that the car was available. When myself and a close friend arrived at the dealership, the "internet sales manager was unable to speak with us" and the other salesman helping us said that the car had been sold and they did not have any other wrx to see. I do understand that conditions change, but it truly felt that these guys were thinking that they were selling a bentley rather than a 30,000 car. Unfortunately after that episode I took my business to vw and bought a GTI and my friend took his business to Audi and bought an s3. I truly wish gerald subaru had better communication and respect for their customers time. I really like subaru as a brand but my initial experience with them is soured due to this dealer.

I was an off the street customer researching my car options. I was in a situation where I couldn't purchase right away, but wanted to proceed with my comparative shopping. Eric was genuinely friendly, unassuming and informative. He gave me lots of information for my research, in addition to providing me multiple options to consider. Eric kept my financial constraints in mind and at no time tried to pressure sell me into anything. I ended up finding another car that better suited my needs. However, I still highly recommend doing service with Eric and Gerald Subaru of Naperville.

We always looked forward to talking with him.We have no complaints about the dealership and will return again when it's time for a new car.Love our new Subaru!

This was a pleasant, informative session with Eric Zetterlof to look at the Subaru Crosstrack. Eric was professional and attentive to all of our questions/comments. The Crosstrack is a good car in many ways, but we have decided it is too small for our purposes. Nevertheless, the experience at Gerald Subaru, and with Eric, was a positive one.

Nice reassuring note on the written report from the service tech Colin about a concern I had. Also, this was my last visit before moving out of state and service manager Chuck made sure I came in for a final "check up" so I can feel at ease driving 900 miles to my new home next week. They have a very special team here. Sorry to be leaving them behind.

We had a great experience shopping with Gerald Subaru. When we walked into the showroom, your sales person Tina S. greeted us warmly. We asked to look at Foresters and the first thing she did was open the hood, showed us the engine and explained what made Subaru;s different than other cars. We were very impressed with this approach. After several test drives, we decided on an Outback. Tina was extremely patient and answered all of our questions. She even kept in touch with us via email and texts. She is very knowledgeable and straight forward. She and her manager worked with us on the price until we were comfortable with the purchase. We felt that we were in good hands. When it came time to actually make the purchase, we worked with Asim A. to finalize all the financial decisions and documents. He was also very patient with all of our questions, gave us all the time we needed, and worked with us on prices of all the extra warranties and service programs we ordered. All in all it was a great experience.

Treated with kindness and efficiency. Kept apologizing for the wait time, which I did not even feel was long... but I appreciated the valuing of my time. When you buy a car at a dealership which has given you a fair price that can cause you to return... but more than that, good service after you buy the car is what truly counts!

I have purchased 2 new Subarus in 2 months - the first (a Crosstrek) was from this dealership. I did my online homework, have great credit and am extremely patient by nature. Our salesman was very nice, knowledgable and courteous but every other aspect of the transaction was extremely frustrating. Their online inventory was completely inaccurate, We were treated dismissively by every other staff member we came into contact with and with every paperwork glitch and delay were told "sorry, that's just how they are here". Lesson learned. We purchased our second vehicle (a fully loaded Outback) at another dealer, quite a bit further away but one who actually maintains inventory (their online inventory is accurate) and had a great experience with everyone from beginning to end.

In an age of technological efficiency where customer service is fading, the service department at Gerald Subaru keeps my hopes up for a future of true concern for the customer. Everyone is professional and friendly. Appointments are assigned an honored, the technician (Rich) who works on my car is thorough and knowledgeable. Even when I come in for routine maintenance, a simple oil change, he alerts me to any potential problem (before it becomes a problem). The car is returned to me better than ever, not to mention clean and shining. This true concern for safety and respect for the customer is not the exception, but the rule. Very, very impressive.

My wife and I went shopping for a Subaru Forester and went to a different dealer where we had a jerk of a salesperson. We got a bad impression from the start so we called Martin since we spoke earlier that month. He told us that Gerald had the exact car we were looking for so we came in and drove it. Martin was very professional and gave us a good vibe throughout the whole process. Overall the experience was very smooth and we would recommend Martin and Gerald Subaru for your next Subaru purchase. Good job guys!

It was time for my 19 year old son to take the Outback on his first solo long trip. I asked the service dept to treat this car as though their son / daughter was driving, After 81m miles I needed new breaks, oil change, fuel induction etc.They did everything on short notice and the work was done exactly as I had hoped. They even found a problem that a windshield repairman caused-sorry I doubted the veteran Subaru mechanic (Dave P.).! I am compelled to offer heartfelt gratitude for how they took care of my family. Every one of these service people have earned the right to be called Real Professionals. Take your car here and you will be treated well. When you get to know them after several visits you realize they are all car guys who also understand what parents worry about. Thank you Tom A., Dave D., Dave P. And Will ! P.S. Marc made it to Northern Wisconsin with no problem.

After forty years of Toyota loyalty, we have our first Subaru. We really love it. Equally as important as the vehicle itself, is the buying process. Martin Strozyk was not only knowledgeable on the car we chose, but it was fun to work with him. We even brought our son with to help us and we all agreed that Martin did a great job. His honesty and outgoing personality were certainly a plus in making our car buying experience one of the best we have ever had. We will definitely recommend Gerald Subaru and most importantly, Martin Storzyk.

HelloJust recently I visited Gerald Subaru in Naperville after leaving a different Subaru dealership just earlier that day due to poor service. I came with my parents and purchased 2015 Crosstrek. We worked with Martin who made the negotiation process very easy and I can't believe I'm saying this, but even enjoyable. We were all happy with the service, the car is great and most defiantly we will recommend Gerald Subaru and Martin to our friends and family.Thank youStephanie NalewskiI did not see Martins name on the list of sales people and had to select another name in order to post

Jason made my experience buying my third Subaru as smooth and easy as it could be. He detailed all the new features built into the car plus covering all the basics that make it what it is. I felt like I understood everything much better than I did previously and I know I can call him with any questions I have in the future. Buying the car was a very pleasant experience.

Dana Armitage did a sensational job in meeting our needs. The dealership should be commended for honoring the price offer with absolutely no back and forth, lack of dealership badging on my new car, absolutely no add ons (such as pin-striping), and free extended drive train warrantee. This dealership is a great place to do business.

I had a very pleasant car buying experience working with John Paist. John was very attentive and kept me informed about the process throughout my whole stay at the dealership. He even went above and beyond to show me the service area and explain more of the car features AFTER I had already completed my purchase, I appreciated this greatly! The finance portion was handled by Dan Salmon and the service was excellent. Dan was very professional, informative, and helpful with establishing warranties and straightening out the finances. This was my first time buying a car on my own and the experience was better than I had anticipated. The negotiation process was smooth and quick. The dealership has earned my trust. I will definitely recommend this location to my friends and family. I will without a doubt be stopping by for my second Subaru!

I had a very pleasant new car buying experience working with Martin. He was available to answer any questions we had during the entire process. He was also on the ball with all the paperwork and did a great job of keeping us informed about where the car was and when it will arrive. I would recommend you definitely give martin a call if you are looking to purchase a Subaru.

I had a very pleasant buying experience with Gerald Subaru! Martin Strozyk was a GREAT sales consultant that treated me like a friend and did not use any high pressure selling techniques on me. I purchased a used Toyota Camry and I felt that I got a fair deal and after the deal was done they still treated me kindly when I came back to get a touch up paint job because the car had some minor dings in the paint. Martin's was great with following up with me and he took really good care of me throughout the process and even after I bought the car. It was a pleasure working with him and I highly recommend him and Gerald Subaru for their professionalism, courtesy.Thanks Martin and Gerald Subaru for a wonderful car buying experience!

I was dreading having to go through the agony of finding a new car. But after doing some thorough research, buying a new car was a surprisingly pleasant experience with Jason Zapfel's help. He was knowledgeable, very thorough and responsive without the high pressure. I also worked with Igor Pogranichni, who again was helpful but without the added pressure. I would highly recommend Jason for anyone looking to purchase a new Subaru!

Ubaldo was great! Excellent customer service and very personable! I will definitely be recommending him to all of our friends and family. He was very patient with me while deciding on a vehicle that was right for us! Everyone that helped us was friendly and professional. We are first time Subaru owners and I'm sure we will only own a Subaru from now on. We are very in love with our Crosstrek! Thank you so much Ubaldo!!

Buying the perfect car is hard and a bit stressful ~ Big Purchase.Ralph helped walk me (Susan) thru this process and answered all my questions. He was also very considerate with the words he chose to use. He was delicate yet moving forward all along. Then Nino and Dan ~ helped thru the additional part of the process ... They also treated me with Respect and kindness. I would recommend this dealership and the folks working inside ! Very Sooth Transaction as well. Dan did all the paperwork quickly and with efficiency.Glad I took that hour drive to check out one more dealership. They were the one I liked best ! !

Love, Love, Love our brand new 2015 Subaru Forester. What a great dealership and excellent customer service. Ubaldo Rodriguez was wonderful to work with. He was extremely patient and helped to answer any questions we had. He knew that safety was a great concern for us and he reviewed the many added safety features with us. This was our first time purchasing the Subaru brand and we will continue to be part of the Subaru family from this point on. We love the spaciousness of the Forester and roof height accommodates my husbands 6'4" frame. Thank you Ubaldo for taking the extra time to review the vehicle with us and for continuing to answer any questions I've had even after we've purchased. I feel very comfortable with Gerald Subaru of Naperville and Ubaldo Rodriguez, and I know I will always be treated kindly when servicing my vehicle there. Thank you-Tricia

Back in December I factory ordered a Forester. Jason was my salesman. He made everything extremely easy. After we went through the factory order sheet he gave a rough time line of 8 weeks. To my surprise Jason called me at the 5 week timeline to tell me my car was available for pickup. During the time period of waiting for my car to arrive I sold at the time my current vehicle. This was right around 4 weeks. Called Jason on a Saturday and Monday they had a loaner vehicle for me to use at no expense to me. When I showed up to pickup my car once again Jason made the process quick and painless. He introduced me to Igor to handle all the finances who also made it a smooth process. I left with a smile on my face and a new car. Would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a new car.

My concern going in to purchase a new car was high pressure and manipulative salesmen and managers. Things have sure changed at Gerald Subaru. Jason was very responsive providing answers, information and a very competitive price. He helped me navigate a myriad of options to select the features I wanted in our vehicle. He exhibited patience in explaining these choices and features including staying 45 minutes passed closing on the evening our car was ready for pickup. I never felt rushed or naive during the process. The Outback manuals are extensive and thicker than a bible in contrast to a 1/4 - 1/2" manual received in the past with cars. Being acquainted with all the features to make the most of them takes some time but was time well spent. I am so impressed with the various safety, communication and entertainment features that Subaru offers compared to other brands I had investigated. I am so delighted to have found Jason and Gerald Subaru to purchase our new Subaru Outback.

This was my first time buying a new car and I picked up a 2015 WRX premium. Joe helped me throughout the process and was really knowledgeable about the car. He answered every single one of my questions and really went out of his way to ensure that I got my dream car. Being 24 and a first time buyer, I felt this was the best possible experience I could have had and Joe made it happen. I highly, highly recommend seeing Joe about a car at Gerald Subaru of Naperville. He was a great help! Thanks Joe!

We have been exploring the Outback for a few months. Got hooked up with Jason via the internet sales. He could not have been more patient. We took a long test drive and called Jason back several times with questions. There was never any pressure to buy. We finally made a decision and were given a great price. Working with Jason and the folks at Gerald Subaru made this a very pleasant car buying experience.

Gerald Subaru gave me an excellent experience in buying my first new car. The sales person Joe Haga was great to work with! I was able to get the Forester I wanted plus more at a price I felt was fare and what I wanted to pay. Also having the warranty for the length of the time you own the car is a real plus in buying from Gerald Subaru.

I already knew that I wanted a Forester and negotiated with a few other dealerships using the internet sales approach. After getting the best price that I could, Gerald Subaru beat it by a substantial amount without any haggling. Took the ride to the dealership to complete a very pleasant car buying experience and drove away in my new ride with a smile on my face. Joe Haga was very professional through the whole process.

My husband and I went to the Subaru dealership about 5 times to ask off-the-wall questions and measure every inch of the Outback to make sure everything from our dog cage to our 3 kayaks would fit. We even told him that we would not be buying for another month and wanted to check out other vehicles. No problem with Jason. The Mitsubishi salesman actually told me, "Not knowing what you want wastes my time and yours" when I told him I was narrowing down my list of possible cars. Who knows what they want until they test drive a few cars? So when it came time to actually buy, we took into account the service we received at the dealerships, along with price and gas mileage and we felt that the Outback (and Jason) couldn't be beat.

Tina was a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgable and thorough with her demonstration of the vehicle. I felt comfortable discussing price and options with her.

We currently own a 2004 Honda Pilot and we were looking for a newer used once. Had been checking through dealerships online and was recommended to check at Gerald's by a friend. We went in to see the 2 models they had in stock. Christina was very helpful, test drove both models. We really liked the Touring model but was going to think on it overnight. Ended up back in the showroom talking price, totally no pressure and ended up taking the vehicle that night instead. As far as paper processing in a dealership (we know that can drag on) it was a seamless, quicker process than what i have previously experienced and this was with my 3 1/2 year old along. Granted was not a lot of people there that night, (go car shopping on a Tuesday, super fast)but was plenty of staff to accommodate. Thank you to the Christina, Dan & Mike for the excellent service! I would definitely recommend Gerald Subaru to my family & friends!

Leo is a great sales representative. He knows when to push the sale and he also knowswhen to back off. I never at anytime felt pressured into making a purchase. He is a genuineguy. He sat with me and went over my concerns. He never got frustrated with me or pushed me into making a decision. I am also impressed with his knowledge of each and every model. You get the sense right away that he loves cars and is excited about the Subaru line up. This is the fourth car I have bought from him....He makes buying a car a truly enjoyable experience.

We went in for a Subaru forester, there is no customer service what so ever, you just go, sit, someone attends you, just answers all your generic questions but THEY DO NOT REALLY CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. normally at any dealers, they help you in making your decision, filling credit application and make sure that they sell the car. But here, they just do not care. You have an average credit, that's it there is no car for you. They do not believe in giving ideas to the customer to make sure that they make the sale today. Anyways after so many banks apparently declining us, they asked us to wait for one more application to be approved. I had many people in my family who had excellent credit and residential history, but they did not recommend any alternative. We did not want to wait any longer because if this is the case. We are going to go for any other Subaru dealer or a Ford escape where my previous car purchase experience says they just make sure everything is taken care of.

Mr Gerald, I want to take 5 minutes to compliment you on your sales members at your Subaru dealership Igor Pogranichni.On 16 Jun we purchased a pre owned 13 Impreza. Was our 1st Subaru.on 14th we came in just to see what you guys had. No one bothered us, We asked Igor . He let us take it out & he explained everything about the car to us, was very knowledgable.We told him that my wife saw a 12 at Schaumburg Subaru. He said he'd like us to do business with him. I liked the 12 because it had a lot of features, & we would let him know either way by Monday.well Monday came & we needed a car . We went to Schaumburg 1st. Big mistake. I met the salesman WH helped my wife Rob G. Very sleazy in my opinion, he was complaining about his back the whole time, he should've stayed home, anyway when we started talking numbers, he got kind of belligerent.,well they tacked on fees for this & that.2500 more than car was priced. At his desk he was popping his gum & tapping his heels on the floor.when we came back with our offer they wouldn't take it, well we left.glad we did. We went to Gerald & saw Igor . We were in & out of there in2 1/2 hrs.he worked with us . Very relaxing didn't have to look over your shoulder.at Igors desk he has a pink sign that reads"No Negativity Here".sign was right, he treated us very well & professional, with class. We had to have some touch up work done by wheel well. We were given a loaner & body shop did a great job.Mr Gerald or whoever pls acknowledge & recognize Igor for being a fantastic sales associate , we hope and are sure we will do & refer business to you guys . Thank You for making our Subaru purchase enjoyable........Bob &Joyce Petersen& Family

New car fever hit months before I was actually ready to purchase a new SUV or car. There were key features that I knew I wanted in a car, such as AWD if I didn't get another SUV. After doing my research and reading online reviews, etc, I was ready to go out and test drive a few cars -- and Subaru being one of them. Mark Hoen greeted us on the lot and, even though it took me 3 trips to make up my mind, worked diligently in selling me the right car for my needs. I'll admit I wasn't an easy customer but their team was great and made me feel very relaxed and confident in my purchase. Chris, the sales manager, gave me a super deal for my purchase, as well as my trade-in.I love my Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited. It took a little getting used to stepping down to a 4 cylinder but the pep and acceleration is amazing.I will definitely consider doing repeat business with Mark & Chris at Gerald Subaru in Naperville.

I highly recommend Gerald Subaru Kia of Naperville. This dealership was friendly, had excellent customer service and no nonsense selling. The whole crew was awesome. John Smith (Sales Consultant) was super courteous and went above and beyond with helping me purchase my first Subaru. This is the best car buying experience I've ever had. Thank you Gerald Subaru team!!

I worked with John Smith on the purchase of a 2014 Subaru Forester at the Naperville location (sorry I bought your car, John) =). It was a really great experience. He did an excellent job, as busy as he was that day, to make sure if I needed anything, or had questions, that he was there. I received a follow up call two days later to make sure if everything was okay, too. I truly appreciate that kind of service after the sale. The weekend after the purchase it snowed. Here it is March. Meteorological spring is here, yet we are getting a few more inches of snow and it could not have come at a better time. I have heard stories of the legendary Subaru performance in inclement conditions. I was shocked. I could not believe the amount of traction this car gets in the snow. Its like a cheetah in snow. Truly amazing. I know I probably will be a Subaru junkie for life. I am greatly appreciative to John, JZ, and Dean for all the help with this purchase. They worked hard to get me the deal I wanted. They pointed out the car's features, help set up the phone, and presets on the radio. Dean was good to give me a deal on the extended warranty and maintenance plans, too. That goes a long way. My wife tells me since we been together that I have gone through more cars than anyone she has ever seen and I can honestly say that won't be happening anymore, but when I buy my next car it will be a Subaru.

This dealership is awesome! Went in to buy a new 2014 BRZ Limited and worked with Joe Haga. Great sales associate! Straight forward and worked to get me a good deal. The dealership seems to have the customer's best interests in mind. The time it took from walking in the dealership to leaving in my new car was less than 2-1/2 hours. I called XM radio to cancel my service plan today (about 5 days after trading in a vehicle) and they informed me that the dealership had already cancelled it 2 days ago! That's really going above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this dealership and if you have a chance, ask for Joe.

My husband and I needed to replace our wrecked Nissan. We considered a new Kia, but it was out of our price range. Brandon took us on a test drive in a pre-owned Kia, which was very clean and nice but didn't suit our needs. Then he said he had recently taken a Honda Civic in trade. It was the low mileage we needed, it was clean and fixed up, and it was the perfect car at almost exactly the price we wanted to pay. Brandon took his time with us. We never felt rushed. He was friendly and helpful. I'm a xxxx of a negotiator but he didn't break down under pressure :-) He answered all of our questions and when he didn't know the answer he found it out. I would recommend the dealership to a friend looking for a new or used car, and would send them to Brandon.

Two weeks ago, I visited Gerald Subaru in Naperville for my first and only visit to this dealer. The sales person was very high pressure and I decided that I needed time to think about my purchase and weigh my options. Yesterday, I decided to move forward with the purchase of a Subaru and wanted to follow up with the sales person as to the new interest rate incentives announced by Subaru last week. I received the following e-mail from Glenn Miller at Gerald: "No we can't. Toyota will be better for you if all you are looking for is rate. I sell cars not rate. Dean worked for you that Saturday to get you the 1.9% because we wanted to help you out and earn your business, and even though we worked on it you didn't want to commit anyways. I say stick with Toyota. That's where your 0% will be. Good Luck."To say that I am disappointed and shocked at the response would be an understatement. I am sure Toyota will be thrilled that the Subaru sales person told me to go buy a Toyota but even that is questionable because does the new car industry really need one more female car shopper absolutely disgusted with the car buying process and bullying by a car sales person.

My wife and I had gone to many dealerships, and Gerald was hands down the best in terms of price, friendliness and professionalism.When we knew we were going to purchase a Subaru Forester, we gathered a bunch of quotes from many dealerships, and compared them to the research we had done on truecar.com. Since we had done our research and shopped around, we knew that the price offered by Gerald destroyed the competition. The price was so low, that we didn't even need to haggle (this of course we knew because of our truecar.com research). You also get a great warranty included at no extra cost.We worked with Carlos Mendoza through the whole process. He was friendly, professional and prompt with communication. I highly recommend that you get your internet quote through him and work with him through the process. We will defintiely be in touch with Carlos at Gerald for purchases in the future.

From the moment I called to inquire about a used vehicle I saw listed online, Brandon made himself available to help me in this process. He came on his day off to the dealership to show me the subaru I was interested in, and his friendly, open manner put me at ease. I had done my homework before coming to see the vehicle, so I knew many of the ins and outs of the car, but Brandon had even more information specific to the model I was looking at to supplement. I never felt pressured, but we did negotiate for some time before we were able to find a price that could work with my budget (the only stressful part of the process). Again, very friendly and polite! Finally, the last piece that made my experience great overall was how I was treated the following day when I heard a strange noise coming from my newly purchased car (a new used car owners worst nightmare!). Brandon assured me he would take care of me, and he did! He put me directly in touch with a mechanic so that we could listen to the sound together and make sure we were on the same page. It ended up being a simple fix (rusted brake shoe), but they handled it immediately and prepared me for next steps should it occur again down the line. I drove away within an hour happy as a calm :)

My wife and I purchased a 2014 Subaru Forester XT Touring from Sandy Jackson yesterday. It was a great experience! Here are the reasons why:1) Unbeatable price - Sandy's best price, offered without any dickering, was substantially below what we had seen elsewhere online (including TrueCar). I took Sandy's price and aggressively shopped it around at every other Subaru dealer in the metropolitan area. Regular salespeople would see her price, get this far off look in their eye, mumble "that's crazy" and then shoo me out the door. Interestingly enough, other dealers' internet salespeople couldn't get near her low price. After three weeks of that, and reviewing the Forester "Prices Paid" sections of Edmunds and subaruforester.org, I'm confident that we got the best price possible;2) Straightforward deal - No bait and switch, no high-pressure sales tactics (I hate waiting games the most), no hard sale on warranties and dealer add-ons, just a plain, professional transaction for a car. I, and most other people I think, lament the fact that buying a car can't be more like buying a tv or some other thing with plain and transparent pricing. Our purchase was just that simple. I kept waiting for the trapdoor, none was provided;3) Nice person - Sandy is very friendly, but not in that cloying "I want to be your best friend so I can sell you this car" kind of way. We had rented a car to drive out to the dealership (we sold our previous car a few weeks before our new Subaru was to be delivered). She volunteered that had she known we were carless, she would have picked us up from the Naperville train station. Before I completed this purchase, I probably would have said no to the offer (my default position on car dealers is "I trust them as far as I can throw them"), but now I know that I could have trusted her to pick me up and not use my carlessness as leverage to gain additional concessions from me. This is something to be mindful of if you're thinking about coming from out of state to take advantage of low pricing;4) Free Gerald unlimited lifetime powertrain warranty - I'm not sure how this will turn out, but could very well be a sweet bonus. You do have to do all of the factory recommended service.

Gerald Service on my vehicle has been terrible. The engine was ruined on my new Subaru from a routine oil change gone bad done by Gerald's Service Dept. They replaced the engine at no additional monetary cost, but we've had nothing but problems with it ever since. The installation of the replacement engine appears to have been outside the capabilities of the Gerald Service Dept. Even though I was happy when I bought the Subaru and for the first eight months I owned it, the last six months, with repeated visits to the dealer to fix a new car that they sold me, is not what I was hoping for when purchasing a new vehicle. After it is returned to me, I am hoping to sell it or trade it in so I don't have to worry about it anymore. The net effect will probably be me losing money on what I still owe on it, but I just want to be done with it. I can't count on the dealer in my home town for service. Too bad to because I was proud to be a Subaru owner but this experience has really soured me on the brand and on Gerald.

Buying a car from Gerald Subaru was one of the best car buying experiences ever...why?...Sandy Jackson. She knows Subaru like no other and was able to give me an awesome deal on my new car. What else can I say that hasn't already been said in the previous reviews - aside from the fact that she is easy to work with and has excellent communication via phone or email, she knows 860 > 855 and that bacon makes everything tastes better.

Sandy was great to work with. She had everything ready for us when we arrived after our internet negotiations. Sandy really loves the Subaru brand and it showed in our talks. By the time we left we were convinced that we had made the right purchase, none of the usual buyers remorse here. We came a long way for this vehicle and we are happy we did.Rick & Connie Wanderscheid

Sandy Jackson provided perhaps the easiest car buying experience we've ever known. We live 2hrs away, and she took care of every detail possible prior to our arrival on pick up day. Price, service, and knowledge of her product made it an easy decision to travel this far to make our purchase.

SANDY DID NOT TRY TO RUSH ME INTO BUYING THIS SUV, SHE MADE ME FEEL IF I DID NOT BUY IT, IT WAS CLEAR SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THAT MADE ME FEEL CALM ENOUGH, SO I CAN MAKE THAT CALL. SALE PEOPLES THAT TRY TO RUSH CUSTOMERS CAN COME UP EMPTY, GREAT SANDY.

I would NEVER consider going anywhere else other than Gerald Subaru of Naperville. Main Reason -- SANDY JACKSON! She is an incredible sales associate. I was happy to find out Sandy was back at Gerald and didn't hesitate to make an appointment with her when I knew I had to replace my 2000 Subaru Outback with 226,675 miles on it. In 2011 we bought a Subaru Forester at Gerald after leaving discouraged from another Subaru dealer in Schaumburg. We found what we were looking for: a fantastic car, great lifetime warranty, a sales team that took a friendly - not pushy - approach, a great deal - and a wonderful service/parts personnel. Subaru sells itself, that is for sure. However, Gerald Subaru's TEAM -- was icing on the cake.So on Saturday, June 1, 2013 - I knew I wanted another Subaru Outback. Of course I did my due diligence, Edmunds, Consumer Reports, etc., I even checked other dealer sites. However, I knew that I was coming back to Sandy Jackson - and I trusted her implicitly. She is a warm and friendly person - and exudes great confidence in her Subaru knowledge. SHE IS FANTASTIC!!!!It didn't feel like an exhausting experience at all. Sandy made sure that we were taken care of. Fresh hot chocolate was provided while we talked, laughed and discussed the details of the car purchase. I LOVE MY SUBARU OUTBACK! I even named my car "Sandy". This is my 2nd Outback. Our family's 4th Subaru.So, if you want a truly amazing car buying experience -- save yourself the worry and hassle. LOOK UP SANDY JACKSON at GERALD SUBARU OF NAPERVILLE. You won't regret it. The entire team is wonderful. No sales pressure whatsoever. So again. SANDY JACKSON.... remember the name --- remember the friendly face - remember - -SUBARU ROCKS and so does Sandy! Most importantly -- GERALD SUBARU of Naperville is the only place where you get a lifetime warranty on the car.

Sandy went out of her way to help me track down a vehicle to my liking. They didn't have the model of Subaru that I wanted and she called around to every dealership in the area trying to find what I was looking for. She was extremely helpful and enjoyable to work with!

I purchased a new Subaru Outback from Sandy and was very happy with the experience. I did some research beforehand, and found out Gerald is one of the best Subaru dealers in Chicagoland area. I contacted a couple of dealers for a price quote. Sandy responded to me promptly with a very competitive price and detailed information. Gerald has great inventory so I could easily find the car to best suit myself. After a test drive, I made a deal with Sandy on the second visit. Sandy was very knowledgeable and professional. The whole process was so smooth and pleasant, no hassle, no haggling. I would highly recommend Gerald, especially Sandy, if you are looking for a Subaru.

I entered the dealership at 3 pm. Sandy knew we were coming. She had said she would match any other offer I had gotten. It was over an hour before we could take a test drive. There was another gentleman standing around a not very busy showroom for over an hour waiting to get his paperwork done on his purchase. After the test drive and another wait I was give a price that included a very low offer for my trade in. When I complained that the offer was way too low they did up the offer 1500 dollars but were still well below the price another dealership had offered me. I left the dealership feeling I had wasted close to 2 hours. On the positive side Sandy was friendly and apologetic. Though I think Sandy is good at her job, I think the dealership does little to distinguish itself from any other run of the mill car dealer.

Sandy is the best salesperson I've ever done business with. She is friendly and very knowledgeable, customer service is excellent! I visited several Subaru dealerships across the Chicagoland area and Gerald Subaru Kia of Naperville was superior in inventory, price and customer service. I would highly recommend visiting and buying from this dealership in particular from Sandy. She made my car buying experience completely hassle free which is what I believe most people wish for.

Well having been in the Chicagoland area for only 8 months and soon to leave we didn't have the luxery of knowing which dealerships to look for and get a feel for reputations of each facility. We went online through our insurance company to find our "dream car" and to also trade out our cramped Ford Focus. All the locations we looked at gave us similar prices but our sticking point was trade-in value of our car and selection. Needless to say you prevented us from having to haggle the trade-in value and you offered to pay our loan off...no one else asked what that was and the other company lost our business by a measly $260. Didn't hurt that you had the caramel bronze and plenty of green Subarus on the lot!!! Sandy doesn't sugar coat anything and gets everything laid out on the table. No interest loan!! Can't beat that! I also liked the idea that the price was spelled out up front...I hate dealing with that part and that made it easy! We had to do a little back and forth running because of of the late night and daughter in tow...she even tried to buy our daughter some macaroni and cheese...Who does that!! At least you tried and it was greatly appreciated! Anyway, loved the service, liked the idea that I wasn't tackled before I walked in the door and we LOVE THE CAR! Thanks again for everything!Kevin/Jenny/Emerson Burns

Sandy Jackson is hands down the most quality car salesperson I've ever worked with. From our 1st point of contact, a phone call, Sandy was on task, immediately willing to travel to a sister dealership to pick up the vehicle I was interested in. Upon meeting her in person, I knew I was in very good hands. After a test drive and a few questions, I was sure I wanted to purchase the car, a 2011 Subaru Outback, but had anxiety, because my husband was at the office and I needed to pick my daughter up from pre-school. I was also fairly sure my husband would want to come there and assist me, as he has in past vehicle purchases. Sandy helped me work through my stress and somehow managed to connect with my husband (without even meeting him) enough to make him feel comfortable, telling me to proceed with the purchase on my own, while he picked up our daughter. I truly felt like she was on my team and know I got an excellent deal.In addition to all of that, my trade-in needed to be towed the following day, all of which Sandy arranged. I forgot to clean it out before dropping my keys through the door at the mechanic, and Sandy was kind enough to go in and gather my things for me while I was at the office. She also must have noticed my preferred form of communication is text message, and began reaching me that way. How convenient!

I really spent alot of time going over vehicles since I knew my vehicle was going to need replaced soon so I came to the conclusion I wanted a subaru thru research (including a spreadsheet comparing likely vehicles from multiple companies). I contacted Gerald Subaru for a quote and compared it to four other dealers and decided to schedule a test drive. Sandy found the initial car we wanted and we drove it but then I asked to add an upgrade so she went to work locating a vehicle to fill my needs. After a short wait she found one at another dealer and confirmed it being available and we negotiated a price I was happy with. After a day waiting for delivery I went in to inquire why I had a receipt and no vehicle to find out the other dealer was withholding the car. So Sandy and the sales Manager (sorry name escapes me) assured me they would make good and found another car with alittle more ammenities for the same quote and made my experience which could have been very bad into a great and satisfying experience and I would recommend them in ernest.

My adventure started by looking at different cars through different websites. I decided I wanted to get a Subaru Legacy and not feel like I over paid for it. I made a couple of price request and Sandy Jackson responded quickly and was able to answer all my questions I had about the car. When Sandy first contacted me I was on my way to another Subaru Dealer but she was able to beat the price over the phone and setup a test drive the same day. I ended up not going to the other Subaru dealer and ended up purchasing my new 2013 Subaru Legacy from her. I was unable to take my new Legacy home the same night because some of the upgrades that I purchased were going to be installed the next day and Sandy provided me with a loaner car. She also kept me updated with the progress of the updates and made sure when I picked up the car it was ready for me.During the whole process Sandy felt more like a friend than a salesperson. I would highly recommend Sandy to anyone that is looking for a new vehicle.

The test drive vehicle had white paint letters on the windshield which was very distracting. After the drive we asked 3 times for the bottom price and didn't provide it. He knew the script and stuck with it. Go elsewhere!

We had a very pleasant and great experience over all at this dealership thru the help and assistance of sales consultant Brian Westhoff. He did a very good job in finding the car we want and processing the lease loan forus. I will definitely return to this dealership in the near future to buy or lease my next car if I find it in this dealership. I will also recommend this dealership as well as Brian to all my friends and relative. Brian is really a nice Sales consultant for not being rude, and not being a hassler in dealing the whole negotiation process. This is the least stressful experience I had with a dealer for the last 12 years of buying a car. The whole buying experience is almost perfect . I even got a plus in the lease car we drove home, because they granted the alloy wheels wewanted in the car. Great Job.

It was a pleasure to work with Michael Gately when buying our new car. He acted like he was someone who really cares about his customers, not your typical pushy salesman. He was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and provided a decent price. The only complaint we could really give (which actually isn't his fault at all) was the wait. We know it is a process to buy a car, but on a slow day like it was... we expected it to move a little bit quicker. Other than that we are very happy with our purchase. We will be recommending you to others. Thank you Michael!

Mind-numbingly good service. The friendliness and fairness may make you question your very existence. At the very least, besides a new car, at a great price you will walk away with a new a perspective on what a good salesperson is.

I recently bought a new Subaru Outback from Glen Miller, the internet sales guy at Gerald Subaru / Kia. He was great to work with: Responded quickly, worked with me to find the right vehicle (looked at Kia and Subaru), priced directly, etc. I like handling as much of the transaction online and over email so that time at the dealership is efficient and Glen was very supportive of this and offered a good price too.

It was a positive experience. I didn't really know what kind of car I wanted in the beginning but Santiago was very friendly, knowledgeable, and really helped me find the perfect car for me. It was very lightly used and pretty reasonably priced. Dean was also a pleasure to do business with on the financing. I'm very happy with my purchase!

I just traveled 120 miles and 2.5 hrs away to successfully purchase a new 2013 Subaru WRX STi, after I was unable to buy from Gearld Subaru. My Gearld salesman (Mason Lies) was extremely friendly, knowledgable, and helpful through the process of Q&A, test drive, discussion of available options, and pricing. However, upon returning to sign the papers, he met with his Sales Mgr and then presented me with a price which was more than $4000 (~10%) over the previously represented price. Eventually the Sales Mgr emerged to belligerantly berate me that I couldn't expect to get this limited-availability car for any less. As I moved to leave, he asked me to stay, then returned with a price "only" ~$3500 over what I had originally been told to expect. I left and found that 5 minutes later the General Sales Mgr had sent me an e-mail asking me to call and resolve the issue with him personally. I called his office two times with no reply. He eventually called me back days later, after I had already purchased the car from the dealer 120 miles away. He insisted that I could never get this car for less than thousands over MSRP, and gave a series of ridiculously lame excuses to explain why I had initially been told I'd get a price under MSRP only to have the thousands higher price presented at the last minute as I was ready to sign the papers. (I actually got the car at Sommer's Subaru in Mequon, WI - just North of Milwaukee - at a price hundreds below MSRP and thousands below the price Gerald tried to berate me into taking as a last minute bait-and-switch. Dealing with Sommer's was a perfect buying experience, 180 degrees from the maddening, frustrating, disrespectful, and unprofessional experience with Gerald.)I might have chalked-up my bad experience with Gerald to an unfortunate anomaly, or believed the excuses presented by the Sales Mgr and Gen'l Sales Mgr, except that I had had an identical experience with that same dealership 10 years earlier when I tried (and failed) to buy a new 2002 WRX from them. It is important that I share that 10-yr old experiecne with you as well. At that time I again had multiple visits, test drives, discussed options and all-in pricing. And again, when I arrived to sign the papers, I was presented with a price ~$2000 (~10%) over the previously stated price. Again I was told I could never find that rare car for any less. The very next day, I went to a dealer 1 hour away (in Schaumburg, IL) and purchased the exact same car at a price that was below Gerald's originally offered price and more than $2500 below the price they were insisting on with their last minute bait-and-switch. When I drove the new car from Schaumburg back to Gerald and showed the Gerald salesman (now retired) the price, he took me aside, quietly and sincerely apologized to me for the way they had treated me, and stated unequivocally that "unfortunately, this is the way our management wants us to treat the customers."I also had a different, but equally unsatisfying experience with Gerald Nissan in Naperville, resulting in my going to Bill Kay Nissan in Downers Grove to purchase a new 2009 Nissan GT-R.I urge car buyers to avoid any Gerald auto dealerships, but most especially to avoid dealing with Gerald Subaru/Kia.

After having researched SUV's with manual transmissions I decided to try the Subaru Forester. Mazda has only 140 hp and I just can't bring myself to buy a Hyundai or Kia (sorry, Kia....) The Forester won't tear up the pavement but has enough pep for my needs, not to mention roominess and comfort. Gerald Subaru showed the only manual transmission Forester in stock in Illinois at the time yet negotiated a great price and provided an excellant buying experience. I will not hesitate to recommend Gerald Kia/Subaru to anyof my family and friends.

My girl friend was interested in purchasing a new vehicle and based on her wants and needs, I strongly recommended that she consider a vehicle from Subaru product line. We researched the local dealerships and found this dealership listed on Dealer Rater, and we were surprised to see so many positive reviews that we decided to visit the dealership. Upon our arrival, Bob Schiavo greeted us with a friendly, warm smile and asked what could he do for us today. My girlfriend explained that she was interested in the Subaru legacy. After she explained what she was looking for in a vehicle, Bob took us on a tour of the Subaru Legacy. He was well versed and very knowledgeable on the product line which was quite impressive to say the least. He was very attentive and truly listened to what was said through out the course of our conversions. By the end of the appointment, my girl friend was ready to purchase a Subaru from this dealership. I was so pleased with my experience as well, that I decided to purchase one myself. I visited the dealership a few days later and spoke with Michael Gately. Given that my financial situation was different, Mike was still able to meet my needs and make the numbers work in my favor. For the record, Mike Gately was also well versed and very knowledgable on the product line. He was also very attentive and did listen to all that was said during our extensive conversation. Long story short, we purchased two vehicles within 5 days from this dealership....Need I say more!Eric S.

Oh where do we begin. Our experience in purchasing with Michael was amazing. We had just begun our car search, we were unsure of what we wanted, or even how to begin the process. Michael helped us every step of the way, he did so much work helping us to find the perfect car for us, and well within the price we were looking to spend. Gerald, as a whole, helped us so much with feeling comfortable in the whole car buying process. We recommend Michael and Gerald to all of our friends and family, and we will definitely be doing business with them in the near future. We cannot speak highly enough about Michael's professionalism and personal care he took in helping us. He went above and beyond as a salesman, he is more like a personal assistant for buying cars. Michael and Gerald are outstanding and we will always be thankful for everything they have done for us and will continue to do for us in our future purchases.Sincerely and with no hesitation,William and Melodi Hickey

Clifton was absolutely great to work with. He was extremely quick to respond, helped me find a couple of different options within my price range, and was very understanding of the time frame in which I was working. Without a doubt, it is thanks to Clifton that I am driving a car from Gerald, especially since the final car I purchased was not the original one I inquired about - and yet, was exactly the perfect car for my family.I can't thank Clifton enough for his professionalism and friendliness - I would definitely recommend him to others. As a side note, I think that the concept of an internet sales manager is a great one, especially for people who don't like the bargaining process and/or have very high-pressure timelines. For me, it enabled me to do everything except test drive it in advance, and know exactly what I was getting and for how much before I even set foot on to the lot.

I'm from the older WWII generation and have always walked through the front door and haggled over price like everyone else. Prior to last week, I had purchased 59 cars over my lifetime, so I've had my share of experience in this area. I decided to experiment with the modern internet approach to buying a car. Through the Subaru web site, I knew exactly the model I wanted to buy right down to the last accessory. I new what price I was willing to pay. Through the Gerald Subaru web site, I met Sandy Jackson, the Internet Sales Manager. In what I could only describe as being a very pleasureable car buying experience, Sandy sold me my 60th car. She was not pushy, very cordial, attentive to what I wanted in order to make the purchase, and followed up after the sale to make certain the purchase had met my needs. If you are in the market for a new or used Subaru, I'd be surprised if Sandy Jackson couldn't meet your needs at Gerald Subaru.

THE BEST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE EVERIt started with my selection of a Subaru legacy from the inventory of Gerald Subaru of Naperville.I emailed them for a price quote and in no time did I get a reply.The price negotiation was so smooth that within a couple of emails, we agreed on the price and so decided to go look at the vehicle the same evening.On reaching the dealsership, I had my fingers crossed thinking what if they don't honor the agreed upon price.At the agreed upon time we met the pleasant sales rep Sandy Jackson. She showed us the vehicle and explained every indepth detail about the Legacy. You asked her any question and she would have a ready answer.After a short test drive where again everything was explained to us in detail, we decided to make the purchase right then and then.No further negotiations of any kind were enterd into and the agreed upon price was honored.Without doubt I would vouch for Sandy Jackson if anyone wants to buy a Subaru from Gerald Subaru of Naperville. Ask Sandy any question and you won't need google to get the answer!Farrokh

While I was bouncing between Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan earlier this year I attempted to contact several Subaru dealerships in the Chicago area as well as the Oklahoma City and Whichita area. Out of all of the dealerships that I contacted, Sandy Jackson was by far the most friendly and helpful. Her timely responses made me feel as if I were talking to her in person. I felt that she genuinely cared about my situation and wanted to help me get the best deal possible, which she did. I highly recommend Sandy Jackson and the rest of the Gerald Subaru team to anyone who is the market for a new or used car.

I purchased a new 2013 Subaru Outback from Sandy on 7/30/12 and could not have been more happy with the process. I contacted her via email after thoroughly researching the car, dealer, and price that I wanted. She responded promptly and we were able to come to an agreement within a few hours over email. She recommended that we set up an appointment to see her on the date of purchase so that we could have her undivided attention. We arrived to Sandy smiling and waiting for us, the car was clean, parked out front, and exceeded my expectations (it was a PZEV model with a cover for the back and door edge protectors, all not listed on the website but included in the price we set on). It was clear that Sandy loves Subarus and is passionate about her customers receiving great cars. The only annoyance was with waiting for the finance department. It took about 30 minutes for them to be ready for us but the process was smooth after that and Sandy even installed our plates for us. She also walked us through the options on the car, paired my phone to the stereo for me, and made sure that we had all of the documents that we needed, all at 9:30 at night! When we get another Subaru (my wife is jealous of mine now) it will be through Sandy.

We considered two different Forester trim levels and Sandy was extremely quick to respond to all e-mail inquiries with regard to the different equipment and associated pricing. She had the best price and was extremely knowledgeable about the Subaru product line.The purchase went smooth and Sandy spent a great deal of time going thru the owner's manual explaining the features and maintenance schedule. She also provided a hands on demonstration in the car.If your looking for a great price on a Subaru and somebody with extensive product knowledge, see Sandy.

I needed more information about the 2012 Subaru Forester limited and put my request in online. Sandy Jackson contacted me right away. I called her to talk over the phone, told her I've done a great deal of research and I belong to Costco and expected a big reduction in the price. I knew what I wanted and She worked with all my request. Sandy was kind, knowledgeable, and I felt she was working for me to get the best car and the best price possible. What really impressed me was when she was teaching me how to use all the controls on my new Forester. Sandy was easy to understand and patient with me and even helped me set up my bluetooth. She took time with me and I felt she really cared about me. Thank you Sandy for making my first Subaru purchase a great one! I'm a completely satisfied customer!

Sandy Jackson has changed what it is like to buy a car. I purchased a new Subaru, and Sandy was honest, competitive, and pleasant. Her explanation of the features of car was as good as it could be. I would recommend contacting her if you are serious about buying. But, there is more, shortly after the purchase, the new car was in a significant accident. Sandy helped with arrangements at the bodyshop. I could not be happier with my car, my sales experience, and the service department. Mr. Neal Gerald has changed the ownership experience by hiring really great staff. You will not be disappointed. -----Tom Ristow

It was a pleaseure working with Glenn. He's an honest salesman and there was no BS involved. We recieved a quote thru the internet and all correspondence was via email. We compared his price to other quotes we recieved and Glenn's price was $500.00 under anyone else's. The other dealerships in the area could not match the price we recieved from Glenn.

Sandy was awesome! She met and beat her competitors prices not only on the price of the car but on many of the extra costs. She is very nice and pleasant to interact with but also knows her Subarau's! No high pressure sales pitches, just honest, helpful, friendly talk about what we were looking to get out of the vehicle purchase. After getting through the paper work in record time (good idea to show up early), we were sitting in the new Subaru with Sandy being trained on all the features of the car which I appreciated becuse I learned a lot. If you are buying from Gerald, see Sandy Jackson, the internet sales person. In fact the whole team at Gerald were a pleasure to deal with. My experience with Sandy and Gerald has been nothing short of fantastic. I'll be back to see Sandy for my next Subaru for sure.

We purchased a Subaru Outback on Memorial Day. We needed to replace my 12+ year old Pontiac that was totaled in an accident earlier this month. We didn't know much about Subaru and went to this dealership only because our insurance man suggested it. Wow, what a great experience. We fell in love with the Outback but also liked a minivan and had difficulty making a decision. Clif Jacobsen was just delightful to work with. He was friendly and knowledgeable which you do expect from a salesman but also just so personable. After our first visit, rather late one evening, my husband said he would like to buy a car from Clif because he was just so pleasant a person to deal with. This was quite a statement from my husband because he usually doesn't notice this kind of thing. The entire staff that we came into contact with was friendly and helpful. It made what we anticipated as a negative experience a very positive one. I look forward to the opportunity to recommend Gerald Subaru and especially Clif Jacobsen to friends. Thank you.

Clif was an absolutely joy to deal with and had a tremendous depth of knowledge. When the used car we came to look at was no longer on the lot, he helped us explore other options and put together a deal on a new Subaru Forester that was terrific. We came in looking for a certified used car and walked away with a better deal and happier with a brand new car. Clif embodies the Subaru spirit: bright, forward-thinking and responsive. One last thing that shined through: Clif was clearly a good guy with a good heart.

The rest of the team there that I've experienced had been terrific and focused on making sure as the customer, i am satisfied. This was the best experience I've had purchasing a car from beginning to end. My advise, don't bother screwing around with cheesy posers. Go to Gerald. Work with Michael.

This was my first experience with Subaru. I did my research on Angie's list - for a reputable dealer. Gerald Subaru had good ratings, so I decided to go there. George Spaeth was very friendly and helpful. He answered my questions and listened to my description of what I needed. I was able to find a car with the features I needed, within my price range. It was a very good experience.

I looked at quite a few sedans and small SUVs before deciding on the Subaru Forester. It had been 15 years since I'd bought a new car so I was not looking forward to the whole process. Gerald Subaru was the last of close to a dozen dealerships that I went to over a couple of months, so I had talked to quite a few salesmen. Igor Pogranichni is definitely the best salesman I met. He is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Subarus. By the time I looked at the Forester, I knew what features I wanted. Igor was very good about listening to what I was looking for and answering any questions I had. I never felt any pressure from Igor. I recommend Gerald Subaru, and especially Igor, to anyone who is looking to buy a new car and who wants to have a pleasant experience while doing so.

I worked with Sandy Jackson last month on the purchase of a new 2012 Subaru Impreza. Gerald was the second dealership I went to, and boy am I glad I did. I couldn't be happier with the dealer experience and the car. Walking into a car dealership as a single woman can be a bit intimidating, but this was a breeze.I tend to over analyze a bit, as I own my cars for a long time. I am also not exactly up to date on what's new and what to look for nowadays. Sandy was extremely patient going over everything with me--I never felt rushed. She was able to beat "the best deal in town" with no shenanigans on a car that was built special for me. I left in a hurry when I picked my car up due to a dinner engagement, but Sandy called me days later to make sure I set up an appointment with her to finish going over everything on the car--even though the deal was done and there was no more money to be made.Thanks again Sandy!!

I had a great experience with Gerald Subaru, not only was everyone very friendly and helpful but Sandy Jackson went above and beyond to work with me about my odd co-signing situation to help me pick up my new car on time! Also I couldn't be more happy about the discount she was able to get me by ordering through them!I defiantly would recommend Gerald Subaru and ask for Sandy she will take care of you!Thanks again!Keenan Gonyier2012 - Subaru WRX STI

Michael Gately is a great salesman. He knows his cars and all the options.He explained all the workings of the new Sorento when I took delivery. I would recomand him to anyone who was looking for a new car and I also got a great deal. Greald is also a great dealer.Thanks Michael.William Sage

I knew what car I wanted and the options that I needed. I contacted several Subaru dealers through the internet. Sandy was the fastest to reply to my requests and came in at the best price. She made it a simple and quick process, while being extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the car that I was buying. I would recommend that everyone that is going to Gerald Subaru ask for Sandy, she will take care of you.

Everyone I met at Gerald seemed very nice and treated me professionally.Sandy Jackson in particular made efforts for me that proved the difference between my purchase at Gerald and another dealer. It is unlikely to have happened without her.Finance guy (Anthony?) - also good job.At this point I would not hesitate to recommend Gerald (Naperville) to a friend.-Dave Milke 2012 Subaru Forrester

Our experience with Gerald Subaru was a pleasant one. George was very pleasant and respectful. . . No high pressure sales tactics. We were in and out with a new car in a couple hours. Thank you.

Went to Gerald to test drive a Soul and perhaps lease one. When I called I got Clifton on the phone. We arranged for a test drive the next day. He was waiting for my husband and I when we got there and remembered what I had said on the phone as to our interest. I was impressed with that. We test drove the car and loved it. It was not the color i wanted nir the manual transmission I wanted. They hunted one down for me right away and arranged to have it brought over. It arrived later that day. Clifton was a pleasure to work with, a breath of fresh air from the usual pushy car sales person. He let us know right away he was fairly new and had not written up a lease before. We walked through the process together. He was interesting and friendly and made us feel very welcome and relaxed. After the usual back and forth with finance we got the car we wanted and love it. Sales manager, Sean, stepped in and helped out with a few questions which were answered and taken care if to our satisfaction. We picked the car up the next day. Clifton was waiting for us and we were able to go over everything and drive away happy.

This was the most pleasant car buying experience I have had in my life. Bob was very accommodating and friendly. He worked with me and understood my concerns and family needs. Donna and Sean were also very refreshing to work with, they were extremely nice! I will be buying all of my future cars from here.

He was honest with me, straight to the point. He worked with our needs and wants. He was extremely courtious and friendly even to my two children made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. He is a very funny guy. I felt he actually heard what I wanted and exceeded our expectations. I will definitely contact Mike for future car purchases and refer him to anyone we know in the market for a car.

Contacted Sandy Jackson via the internet for a 2011 Subaru Outback. She was polite and not pushy. We came out 2 weeks later to test drive and were not disappointed. Sandy and Sean in finance were easy to deal with and there was no hassle with our purchase. Gerald is almost 2 hours from our home and I would drive there again to look for another car. Thank you for such an easy transaction.

Sandy Jackson was a pleasure to work with in buying a new subaru impreza. She was very receptive about my needs and offered by far the best price of the NUMEROUS dealers that I contacted about the car. I ordered my car from the manufacturer, so it took about 6 weeks, but I was able to get the car with the exact options that I wanted. Sandy even let me know about a special auto-show discount to make sure that I would receive the best price possible! I'd recommend her to anybody looking to buy a new subaru in the Chicagoland area without any reservations.

I purchased a new Subaru Forester1/2/12. I started my car search in October 2011. I believe I test drove every medium size SUV on the market. I even test drove a Forester at another dealer. Was interested in the SUV, but had not made a decsion yet. After doing research on all the SUVs I narrowed down my decision to 3. Obviously the Forester won. I decided to go to Gerald since the dealership was closest to my home. John Smith was the sales associate that I worked with. He answered all my questions, gave his opinion when I asked for it, and did not promise anything he knew could not be done. At no time did I feel pressured to purchase the SUV. In fact, I felt more confident in my decision to purchase the car that same day. In fact, my overall experience with my purchase was great. John also introduced me to all of the staff that I would be working within the delivery of my new truck. And finally, John followed up with me with any additional questions I had, kept me apprised of the additional accessories that I had purchased; and when I could expect them to be installed. This experience with Gerald and their entire staff that I interacted with, was overall a great experienceThanks John you've been great:!Thanks Gerald Subaru for a good experience with all the staff that I worked with.!

My experience with Gerald was great due in large part to my salesman Glenn Miller. His approach was unlike any other sales person I had encountered in my search for a new car. He did not try and oversell himself and his product he allowed me to look and drive the vehicle without the atypical sales banter. I more than appreciate that type of approach. My purchase was greatly influenced by Glenn due his respect for others.He wanted to do his best for me as a customer and he did.Thank You Glenn Tim Blakemore

If you are in the market for a new car, I highly recommend contacting Sandy Jackson, Internet Sales Manager. The quote I received was by far the best I have seen for the model that I chose. Once at the dealership, Sandy was a joy to deal with - quick, efficient, and knowledgeable. The rest of the staff was just as pleasant to deal with. No high pressure tactics - just honest, straight-forward car sales. Thanks Sandy!

Upon walking in, I had done my research on the vehicle I wanted. Glenn introduced himself and did not try to rush me or even asked the question, if I was ready to buy.As other sales person would, just to know if we would be wasting their time. But no. Glenn was very friendly and gave me more info on the vehicle, that I wasn't aware about. I would have to say that Glenn educated me about the car more then I thought I knew. Overall, Glenn showed me great customer service. I would recommend my friends who would be looking for I new or used Kia or Subaru, to see Glenn.

George was a pleasure to work with. My wife and I (Subaru owners) were simply looking for a used car to get us back and forth from the train. George didn't try to sell us on a new car or even bother with an expensive used car. He picked a 2001 sedan from the lot, told us that it was still in good condition and that it would work for what we needed. I felt he approached the sale with honesty and integrity and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new or used car.

We started our shopping at the local dealership in town, Gerald Naperville, as we REALLY wanted to buy local. Spent several hours at the dealership with Sandy, going back and forth, trying to negotiate a fair price. Ended up walking away. Went online that evening only to find that the price we were asking to pay was actually higher than the Gerald advertised online price. Needless to say, we were not happy. The reason we were given was that the advertised price does not include the $695 "appearance package" that they put on most of the vehicles and are required to purchase. The appearance package was explained to us as door guards and pin stripes (the 80's style stripe stickers). We ended up negotiating a price over the internet with Melissa at Autobarn Countryside and paying far under the internet price on Gerald's site. Not only did the vehicle cost much less, but it included more options, including a remote start (and no pin stripes!). Melissa made the process so easy and painless. There were no hidden "appearance package" type charges and we were not put through the ringer. Buyer beware!

I had an excellent experience working with Gerald Subaru's George Spaeth! He gave my husband and I the friendly and knowledgable customer service that we expect when making such a big purchase. We test drove 3 vehicles, and he was patient and straightforward. George took the time to explain everything, and answered all of our questions in detail. Darrell Matlock in the financing department was fantastic as well, and got us a great percentage rate and an amazingly low monthly payment! I absolutely love my new Subaru Outback! I highly recommend Gerald Subaru to anyone looking for a new car. We will definitely use them again!

In March of this year I purchased a 2011 VW Jetta. Come October, i decided that i needed something that could get out of its own way and able to handle the wicked chicago winters. After looking at other manufacturers, i decided that subaru was the best fit. This is where the struggle of the right dealership came into play. I spent days searching the internet for dealerships in the area. First dealership was a bust(Grand Subaru in Elmhurst, Bill Neilis). Second on the list was Gerald Subaru. I had requested a quote and received a call immediately from Sandy Jackson. This is where everything started to make sense. Sandy is a real people person. She understands that her job is to sell cars, but that seems to be second her agenda. Sandy was never overly pushy and always put my needs first. We decided on a vehicle and went to financing. FAIL! My credit was much worse than i expected and was declined from every major bank. Sandy really showed her true colors here. She was able to teach me how easy it is to repair your credit. Over the next six weeks we spoke and discussed my progress with the credit repair. Never in my life has anyone worked so hard to help someone they had just met. She understands that people make mistakes and sometimes need help to get it fixed. Now, with my credit in better shape, i was able to order my 2012 Subaru WRX!!! Sandy is the mother teresa of sales women! If anyone is looking for a quality sales person that wants to help first and sell sencond, see Sandy, shes the absolute best!!!

Sandy Jackson is the internet sales manager and I have worked with her on and off over the past several months. She has always been helpful and respectful but never pushy. I ultimately went to Gerald Subaru Naperville because I did a huge web search and found they offered a fully-loaded 2011 Subaru Forester for well under the invoice price. After a test drive, I knew this was the car for me. The entire staff was consistently friendly and polite and we feel we got a great vehicle for a really good price. Thanks Sandy!!!

Stay away from this dealer!!!I got a quote about a Subaru Forester from Internet Sales. Someday I stooped by the store and didn't take that quote with me. Sandy took more than 15 minutes on her computer to select a car with lots of accessories which I didn't want. And she was trying to sell that car with the sticker price, told you the the monthly payment, etc. She just played every trick on me (you may know the tricks from carbuyingtips.com)!

Started Ok with an internet quote. I stopped in the next day and the "Internet" sales person was not available when I could stop in. The vehicle quoted was not there, it had sold earlier in the week I was told. They did have the same vehicle, itwas a dealer car (demo)with over 3000 miles.. I offered what I thought was a reasonable price (lower cash offer) and then they countered with a price higher than quoted online for a new car. I asked for a detailed explanation of that quote. Never got that. Certainly not the best dealer experience I have had. I ended up elsewhere and found the exact car new.. 0 miles at a lower price than the demo model price quoted by Gerald.

We look forward to future transactions with both Gerald and Mr. Schiavo.Thank you,Don and Kathy OBrien

I set out to buy a new Subaru Forester for my daughter who had done her research for about 6 months and picked this vehicle as her favorite for many reasons--with safety right there at the top of the list. Did my research and sent out a price request on-line to avoid the typical car shopping experience. Sandy got right back and her work soon led to a hassle free buying experience! Sandy knows her stuff and drives a Subaru herself! It was great working with her and she quickly cut through the typical car buying back and forth and delivered a great price to a ready buyer. Deal done! I would recommend her to anyone in the market for a Subaru. The Gerald life-time warranty was icing on the cake. DW

I highly recommend Gerald Subaru in Naperville and Sandy Jackson in particular. I've owned 3 Subarus and so my questions throughout my process were fairly particular... Sandy knows her stuff and was able to address my concerns/questions off the cuff, she knows what she's talking about. Also, she was accessible, trustworthy and very easy to work with - not the typical pushy car salesman at all. She was far more interested in determining the best fit for me than closing the deal. Gerald as a dealership stands out, they offer a very unique service guarantee and they are reasonable in their pricing. I had legitimate concerns about the performance of the car I ended up buying (I went from a turbo XT to a H6, as the turbo XT outback is no-longer made by Subaru) and instead of a sales pitch that ignored my concerns, they acknowledged the real questions I had and allowed me to take the H6 home over a 3-day weekend to test it out. In my mind that went above and beyond... and allowed me to get over the fact that I was trading in a pretty hot/fun car to drive and accept the bigger picture/advantages of the H6 in-spite of the loss of performance (better fuel economy, bigger, newer trumped the 0-60 performance fun of the turbo xt). Anyway... long story short, the people at Gerald (and Sandy in particular) are passionate about cars and very reasonable and trustworthy... good people.

I walked into this dealer at the end of December to purchase a new Subaru. My wife and I had a Subaru Forester in mind. We gave Brian our input, told him the car we wanted, color preference, and approximate price. Brian worked well with us, helped us narrow down the car, and we got it for a great price, with accessories of our choice. Thanks Brian. My next car will be bought at Gerald Subaru. On a side note, Adam, from the Service Department is the most wonderful person I've ever met in Service. I was promised a 5pm appointment, and all the technicians had left. Instead of sending me back home to downtown Chicago(from Naperville), Adam took it upon himself to complete the service. Amazing customer service.

When, on a lark, I asked John to determine what trade-in value my one-year-old Outback would have against a new Forester because of the fallout from the disasters in Japan, the results came back favorable. I ended up saving $50 monthly and dropped my loan rate. Good job guys!

Overall, I would recommend this dealership and this salesman. For the size of the lot, Gerald Subaru Kia has a great selection of new and used vehicles with prices that can accommodate most budgets. The salesman, John Smith, was friendly and helpful. He greeted us as soon as we walked in the door and stuck with us until the sale was complete. When inspecting the cars on the lot, John even pointed out some things to consider when looking under the hood. He was not at all pushy, but still eager to earn our business. The sale process took much longer than we anticipated because there was a new finance manager; but through the wait, John sat and talked with us/entertained us, which seemed to go above and beyond from a customer service stand point. While John was great, in the four and a half hours we spent at this dealership, a manager never introduced himself or stepped in to the negotiating process. We visited the dealership on a rainy day and there were only a couple of other customers that stopped in. Still, a manager never came over. This almost lost our business. If not for John and not for being pleased with the car we drove, we might have walked.

By Far the Best Customer Service - Sandy Jackson treated us with respect and trust. Bought a Forester from her on my first visit because she kept her word - my friend also bought a Forester from her and another friend who came along to hang out ended up buying an Outback from her. All three of us could of haggled and negotiated as a group to save a few buck, but that wasn't necessary because she was very upfront and professional. Mr. Chuck Panagakos the Finance Manager was very honest and helpful with all the numbers and paperwork. Overall an excellent experience - Definitely ask for Sandy Jackson if you're planning to visit Gerald Subaru in Naperville.

We found Gerald on the Internet. I sent a message through their website that I wanted some information on the Outback. Sandy was the person who replied and within 30 min. She suggested we come in and take one for a drive. Not only was I impressed with the vehicle, the entire purchase experience dealing with Sandy was outstanding. Sandy's knowledge and confidence in the vehicle was a big part of why we chose Subaru. We asked a lot of questions which Sandy answered until we we completely satisfied. I own seven vehicles and the last thing I want when I go through the purchasing process is feeling pressured into buying. I discussed with Sandy the other vehicles we were testing. Sandy not once said anything negative about the other vehicles, she simply responded with more reasons why Subaru owners love their Subaru. Great sales person, great vehicle, great experience, we will be back.

This is the second new car I have purchased at this dealership. In both cases I found the salesperson to be friendly & helpful. Specific to this visit, I found Michael Gately to respect the parameters I laid out for purchasing a new vehicle and very willing to help me stay within my budget. He was very personable and anything but your stereotypical car salesman. I would highly recommend Michael and this dealership to anyone looking for a new vehicle.

I received a call from Mr. Gately stating the dealership wanted our car as a trade-in(2009 Kia Rondo) and in return, they could put us in a new comparible car with the same payments. My wife and I visited Michael this Monday (5/9/11). After taking a look at the new car inventory, we decided we liked the Sonata model. We went for a test drive and bombarded Michael with a lot of questions. He didn't flinch, or miss a beat. He was honest and thoughtful in his answers. If he didn't know the answer, he got the answer. Michael was a pleasure to do business with. He was witty, engaging, professional and polite.I'm giving quality of work a 4 because we had to wait a long time for the financial paperwork to be prepared. I'm giving price a 4 because I'm now paying $100 more on my car note for our new car - the Sonata. I get nervous seeing more $$ fly out my door in today's economy. For great customer service and a great car buying experience, you would do well to check out Gerald Kia/Subaru in Naperville, IL.

I became interested in Subaru (Legacy) after visiting the Chicago Auto Show. They recommended a test drive. I was contacted by Sandy immediately after visiting the auto show.Sandy worked with my schedule and set up a test drive for two different Legacys, which I greatly appreciated. Sandy new her cars and I learned about them from her in more detail that I could get at the show. Sandy informed me of the special offers available to me while putting no extra pressure on to complete a sale. This really helped me decide on the vehicle that would be best for me.I'm happy with my car and with the excellent quote I received. Sandy and her coworkers at Gerald are a pleasure to work with. I can certainly recommend Gerald to any interested in Subaru.George Kuzma

Sandy took care of us from start to finish. I received quotes from 5 different dealerships and she provided the lowest quote and we could not have received better customer service. The quote we received from Sandy had no hidden fees. We just had to add taxes and license plate fees. We will definitely buy our next car from Sandy. Oh, and we love our new Outback.

Sandy was very helpful and very friendly when I was searching for my first new car. I had contacted her on the internet and heard back immediately. When I actually went into the dealership she spent a couple hours educating me on my options and running outside in the bitter cold getting keys and cars for me to test drive. I never felt pressured into anything and in the end with her help I am sure I made the right decision. I can now understand her passion for Subaru cars!

I worked through the internet to get connected with Gerald. Sandy Jackson responded and was very helpful in finding the car I wanted at a price that was competitive. She showed me on-lot models and went with me on a test drive and then stayed late to make sure I could find the right model online. There was no pressure to buy from existing inventory and she found me what I wanted in their delivery pipeline. No pressure to finance through Gerald and no pressure for extras such as seal coating. Altogether a good experience. Was the price great? I was given a discount that was within what I had calculated offline to be an acceptable range. So to me it was great. To others? I don't know.

It was a pleasant experience overall. Chris McGarel was polite and kind. And when we arrived for subsequent visits, but Chris wasn't immediately available, we were recognized by other sales consultants and greeted warmly. We check our credit scores quarterly, and our credit is in good standing. Chuck told us our credit was "perfect," but the dealer's creditor issued an unattractive interest rate.

Working with Sandy was a very relaxed and pleasant experience---the best car buying experience I've ever had. She was very knowledgable, honest and patient. She was able to find an Outback with everything I wanted.When I had trouble with the bluetooth phone she had me come back so that she could go through the procedure. I can't say how much I appreciated the care and assistance I experienced in buying my third Outback. I couldn't be happier. I would also like to mention Chuck who helped me find the best options for financing my car. He was very helpful. All in all Gerald's staff is the best.

The salesman John Smith (yes, it's true) and dealership got me into a vehicle I'd always been impressed with. Since owning a 2010 Outback for almost a year, I've increasingly enjoyed the ride; it's quiet even at 70MPH and there's little to no splash noise going through water. During the 2011 blizzard in the Chicago burbs, I was able to safely go 40mph on snowy streets where front-wheel drive vehicles were struggling just to get moving. During warm weather, around town I get between 24.5 to 25mpg, 29.5 to 30mpg on the road.Interesting comments from third parties. A young woman said her friend's mechanic husband used to work on nothing but Subarus and he said he loved them and wouldn't want anything else. Doing handyman work, I was at one client's house in the driveway next to her Mercedes when a chauffeur drove up in a limo next door; he got out to pick up his client and commented, "Those are two of the best cars on the road." While at another client's house, her son came to replace the transmission on her older Mercedes; he has a college degree but loves cars so much, he buys older ones and rebuilds them from the ground up for resale. When he saw my Outback, he said, "That's a quarter-million mile car you've got."So, while I swore I'd buy American the next time and didn't intend to buy a car one day in May, the good engineering and reputation of Subaru got me.

Good morning, for about 2 years now, my husband and I had been looking for a new car, and when we happen to be driving, we would see a lot of Suburu cars on the road. We always knew that this was the car we wanted to purchase. It took some time for us to actually do our homework concerning the Suburu Outback. We would visit the Suburu dealership's on Sundays so that we had a chance to look on our own, without any pressure. So one day I went into the internet here at work and logged into the Suburu website. Sandy Jackson answered all of my questions when I was not sure of what price range I was looking for. My husband and I happen to be driving to the local store when I noticed that Sandy had left me a message. This was on a Saturday, so my husband and I decided to drive to the dealership in Naperville and see what Sandy had to offer. Our experience went very well, we qualified for the Outback that we purchased, and even though we were at the dealer for over 4 hours we did not mind the wait at all. My new 2011 Suburu Outback sits in my garage just waiting for me to take her for a spin. We do not regret out purchase at all, we are very well aware of the great quality of this vehicle, and this is very important to us. Sandy Jackson gave us the best customer service ever, she explained everything to us about the car, and we went home knowing that our purchase was sold to us with great care and good communication. There is one issue that I thought could have been treated differently about the purchase, and that is the color. We purchased a White Outback, but had there been other Outback's available in another color, I know that we would have chosed another color, but that's okay, white has always been a nice color anyway.

I am very uncomfortable about buying a car and I often make mistakes because I just want to get it over with. I feel that, once I get into a dealership, I can't think straight and then just buy the first car I see that is close to what I am looking for. We currently own a 2003 Subaru Outback. It has been a great car, but there are a few issues that had bothered me about this particular one, and I decided--even though we couldn't afford it--that it was time to buy a car. I went to a dealership here in Washington state, just to look around, and I almost bought a Brand New Car! Which I really cannot afford! It wasn't even a Subaru and I knew, going into the dealership that I was just testing my "car buying" skills. This put me into a panic, that I might make a really stupid decision financially. I decided how much I could pay for a "newer" Outback and started looking on the internet. I drove a couple newer models here in Washington state, but they had more miles on them than my 2003. I just couldn't find what I wanted. I then started looking on the internet--nationwide--for a car I could afford. Suddenly, I was talking (or chatting) with dealers in Omaha, San Antonio and two in Naperville, Illinois. All of the Outbacks looked good and the salespeople I talked to were all competent and "were going the extra mile" to help me. But, Michael Gately, of Gerald Subaru of Naperville was exceptional communicating with me, both in writing and on the phone. I felt that I was working with someone who really understood my situation and my budget and would help me in every way possible. He reassured me by telling me about a customer who had come down from Minneapolis and had bought a car from Gerald Subaru, that this was something they understood and would help me figure out to do it. He also explained to me about the "Lifetime Warranty" on the engine and that this would still be valid in Washington state. I made a small down payment with my credit card and my wife and I were on a flight to O'Hare at 11:30 PM that night. Our salesperson from Gerald Subaru, Michael Gately, was waiting for us at baggage claim when we arrived and drove us from O'Hare to the dealership in Naperville, stopping on the way to treat us to coffee and donuts at Dunkin' Donuts, which was really great after deciding to make this stressful decision to buy in Naperville not in Washington state.Everything was as promised. The 2009 Subaru looked just as great as it did on the internet. There were no surprises! We took the test drive. Chuck Panagaros did a great job helping us with the paperwork and we were on our way to stay at a relative's house in Chicago that Saturday night. We left Chicago Sunday afternoon and arrived in Washington on Thursday, 2100 miles later. During that drive, we weathered an ice storm in Nebraska and -35 temperatures in Wyoming. That was "really" a test drive that this 2009 Subaru Outback passed with flying colors! The title I needed for my Washington plates arrived promptly after we arrived by Federal Express. If you're buying a used Subaru, I don't know anywhere else in the country who will provide the great customer service that the Gerald Subaru people did "or" will provide you with a Lifetime Engine Warranty! Thank you so much!

John helped me with the hassle of trading in a car with negative equity. Like promised, he did everything he could to make my purchase affordable, given the circumstances. Though I was a relatively young buyer, John took me seriously from the moment I stepped onto the lot, giving me confidence as a buyer. Before visiting Gerald Subaru of Naperville, I stopped by another Subaru dealer. There, the salesman treated me as I were wasting his time. I felt uncomfortable and left. John and the team at Gerald Subaru were very welcoming and friendly throughout the process and even afterwards, calling to checkup on the vehicle I purchased.

I contacted Gerald Subaru for an online quote and was pleasantly surprised to hear from Sandy Jackson. She was engaging and not pushy or anxious for me to do something. Her patience and friendly manner were greatly appreciated. I would say that her attitude and friendliness are what sealed the deal for me and brought me into the showroom for two test drives and a sale. Also got a great deal on an Outback. Thanks, Sandy.

Sandy Jackson was great! She worked with us all evening to get the best deal possible. We walked away very happy with a brand new 2010 Forester. Thanks, Sandy, we will always use the Gerald Nissan Subaru dealership - we are die hard Subaru people! Thanks!

I've got my first very positive impression during test drive visit - nobody asked about my ss#, driver's licence, or bank account. Sandy answered all of my questions, no pushing, just a call or two. I was checking on 4 other small suvs at the same time, so I visited Garald a few times. Nobody bothered me after "I am with Sandy". BTW, Sandy was quick to return my calls and emails. When I finally decided on subaru, they just matched my best offer, and the purchase process was very smooth. Even signing financial papers with Chuck lasted for less than half hour, and only because I was not prepared/ did not know about optional 7 yrs bumper-to-bumper.It would be nice if the dealership use Naperville's test track. The snowy hill is fantastic to see how AWD works.Later I found that a little roof antena is missing. It was as simple as turning this thing off from another Forester in the showroom and run away. :-) I am joking of course!

After requesting online quotes from several different dealers, I have to admit that I was hoping to purchase a new vehicle at a dealership that was closer to my home. I had even gone to the closest one (in Joliet) to test drive a couple different vehicles that I was still deciding between. I was getting beyond frustrated when first I was told by the dealer in Joliet that the vehicle I wanted was not available without the additional packages. After much going back and forth he finally admitted I could purchase a Sorento without the extra package, but the only one available already had over 800 miles. And this was supposed to be a brand new vehicle! I went home and waited for several hours for him to contact me to let me know if there was another Sorento nearby without that many miles. I finally gave up on him and contacted Michael Gately at Gerald in Naperville. Michael had already called me a couple times since I had requested the online quote. Within 10 minutes he found me the exact vehicle that I wanted without trying to haggle me on extras AND he even went down on the price, which I was not expecting. It made me wish that I didn't pay so much attention to the location and drove the extra miles to Gerald from the beginning. It would have made my experience so much less stressful! I highly recommend Michael Gately at Gerald for a very pleasant car shopping experience!!

Michael Gately in the internet sales department was a pleasure to work with and I bought a car from him. I would highly recommend working with him. I also spoke to one of the floor sales people, Rich, he was the typical high pressure car salesman and he nearly lost the dealership my business. I wouldn't have bought a car there if it wasn't for Michael being great to work with and giving me a great price on a new car.

Sandy Jackson was great to work with during the whole process. A couple of issues out of her control...We wished the sales manager would have mentioned that the extended warranty had a mileage cap before we were doing the final paperwork, and we were upset that the car we purchased was sold by another dealer so we ended up with a car that had minor differences, and the paperwork took an extra day. However, a different sales manager we dealt with when we picked up the car fixed the warranty issue, and, as mentioned, Sandy was terrific.

I just bought a 2011 Forester from Sandy Jackson at Gerald Subaru in Naperville. I've purchased 10 or 12 cars from retail dealers (3 new) in my lifetime and I did not know it was possible to have a hassle free experience at a new car dealer (Carmax and Saturn included). Gerald Subaru has completely changed my opinion about what it means to buy a car at a new car dealer. They were friendly and courteous via email, on the phone and in person. They offered me a great value not only on the car I purchased but in their assessment of my trade-in. They were very honest in their negotiations with me; there were no games and no high pressure tactics from start to finish. Right down to the finance office - they listened to what I wanted and did not try to force add on options on me just to improve their profit margin. I know what you're thinking, "this guy must have walked in and rolled over and that's why he sees Gerald Subaru through rose colored glasses". Quite the contrary, I drove a hard bargain. I negotiated with multiple local dealers and Gerald Subaru won my business based solely on the fact that they gave me the best deal. I was willing to drive to Elgin, Schaumburg even Madison for the best price. I did not need to because in the end, Gerald Subaru made me the best offer. The icing on the cake is that I did not have to compromise on service to get the best price. Gerald Subaru offers a lifetime warranty and every employee I encountered clearly was focused on their customers. I am thrilled to be a Gerald Subaru customer and I'm making myself sick at how I'm going on and on about it ;) If you need a car, do yourself a favor and don't make a final decision until you've talked to Sandy Jackson at Gerald Subaru!!

My overall experience at the dealership was great. They didn't pressure me into buying a car that wasn't for me. They even gave me the option to take it to other dealerships to compare other cars against theirs. The sales reps were friendly, understanding, and they worked with me on my trade in. I would definitely consider them before anyone else.

Worked with Sandy Jackson and the experience was great from the start. I did my initial shopping online and had several dealerships contact me. Sandy was the only one to take the time to personally respond right away rather than just shooting out a form email and then following up days later. Shopping and negotiating process couldn't have been easier and you can tell from the start that she really believes in and knows the product she sells. I would absolutely recommend this dealership (and have) to friends and family.

John did a great job. He was knowledgeable, but also low-pressure. A great experience. Although we had a specific car in mind he showed us all of our options with out a high-pressure up sell. Once we decided to purchase the car he worked quickly with dealership management to find an agreeable price.

Sandy Jackson who I worked with did a great job of both giving me the information needed to make my decision but also made it easy for me as she answered my emails while making a decision almost instantly each time. I also was very happy with the vehicle I picked out and so far so good.

Worked with Sandy Jackson and she was awesome. Overall I got the car I wanted for the price I wanted, even though there were only 2 vehicles in the whole state with the option that I wanted. Sandy was very personable, knowledgable, and enthusiastic about Subaru. She answered all the questions we had, and followed up later on after we purchased the car. Loved the whole no hassle, no pressure atmosphere. A+++

I had a great experience purchasing my vehicle form Gerald Subaru. The sales representative, Sandy Jackson was both knowledgable and upfront with the transaction. I was so impressed I purchased three vehicles in approximately 3 months. The store manager, Mark was also a big help with the transaction.

Sandy does internet sales. She did a great job working with me. The dealership was just like many nice dealerships in appearance. The price that I was able to get was better than any dealership in a three state area. I shopped by price since I do not have a Subaru dealership anywhere near my home. I was very satisfied.

I bought my Legacy back in October. Sandy Jackson was the sales person and she was AWESOME! She went above and beyond while working with me in order to make the sale. She was honest and up front through the entire process. Sandy was so matter of fact and friendly, it was unlike any other car buying experience I had ever seen. She and the general manager Mark treated me like a long time friend. Sandy was attentive to my needs during the car buying process and has continued to be attentive, she calls from time to time to check up on me and the new car and has made herself available to all my dumb questions about the car from the bluetooth setup to the homelink garage door opener. I love my car so much that I have recommended Subaru's to all of my friends and family. Every time I recommend Subaru I always tell people to go to Gerald and ask for Sandy Jackson! The next car I buy will no doubt be a Subaru and Sandy will be the one to sell it.

Bought a new 2010 Subaru Forrester at the end of August, 2010. The first vehicle we looked at on the web, turned out to have a few thousand miles on it. We were expecting one with little to no miles on it. Sandy found another vehicle (in the same color and style) at another dealership and traded for it. It had less than 50 miles on it. I had several questions before we purchased the vehicle, mostly because I had never owned a Subaru before. Sandy got back to me promptly and answered all my questions. My biggest reason for recommending Sandy, in particular, is that the day I went to pick up my new Forrester, the auxiliary jack was not working so that I could not play my ipod through the vehicle's speakers. This was a big deal to me because we had had to make a decision on whether or get the satellite radio or the ipod interface. Since I wanted the satellite radio, I had been assured the auxiliary jack would still work for my ipod. By the way, Sandy did all this checking for us. The service department was not able to help us right then, so Sandy told me she would handle this for me. She did all the checking and legwork and had me bring the vehicle back in. The service department found out that the other dealership had not installed a wire that was needed for the jack to work. They got the job done promptly. However, if I had had to spend my time to talk to the service department, etc. to look at the vehicle, it might have been very time consuming. Sandy didn't forget about me after the sale. I've had to call her with a couple of questions since the sale and she has always had time to find the answer and get back with me.

I purchased a new 2011 Subaru Outback last year from this dealer after receiving an internet quote on the exact make/model/options I was looking for. I went in expecting the worst but working with Sandy Jackson turned out to be a pleasant, laid back experience. She let me take my time to try it out to make sure everything was alright and answered all of my questions. As far as the actual buying experience the internet quote didn't include dealer installed options which I saw in the fine print but still felt a bit like a bait and switch given it wasn't something I was interested in and couldn't have removed. I negotiated on overall cost as I just cared about the bottom line and although it was some of the traditional back and forth make an offer sales stuff that I don't care for it wasn't too bad.So far i've been very happy with my car and Sandys been doing a great job following up with me so i'd recommend it based on my experience.

Sandy was great to deal with. My sales person always returned my phone calls and even personally picked up my new Subaru from a different dealership for me. I love my 2011 Legacy. I loved my last Subaru (Baja) and I wish that Subaru still made that model.

I just Purchased my new 2011 Subaru Forester Friday evening and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Gerald team. They were amazing, from Jason my sales guy to finance they are the best. I have always been a chevy or GMC girl so I was a bit nervous making the move to Subaru and doing the deal from beginning to end by myself (with a 3 year old). The Gerald Team helped me pick out a great car and was very thorough, never pushy or trying to hide anything from me. They even helped keep an eye on my 3 year old so that I could take my time and make an educated decision since my babysitter fell through for the evening. I traded in my 2008 GMC Envoy Denali and while I can say it was a great car and I will miss it, I am truly in LOVE with my Forester. It is very roomy on the inside everything and I love everything that came with it. I looked at several other small/mid sized SUV's and for the price range, reliability and looks, the Forester was the best decision for me. I love my Subaru and am totally impressed with the Gerald Subaru of Naperville team - they now have a lifelong customer.

So I needed a car cause my 11 year Mitsubishi just recently died. Went from dealership to dealership and could not find the right salesperson or car. Finally found a car I really liked and decided to make the leap. The salesman "seemed" very nice and genuinely showed some sympathy. It was all a ruse. Told him my monthly payment range, he ended up raising them. Told me he could reduce the price, didn't take off a penny. I really needed a car and decided fine Ill just get it. Came back two days later to pick up, and found the tinted window now had a magical knick in it that wasn't there before and the car only has one key. Expressed my concern and the salesman said he would take care of it. Wrong, he doesn't give two shits about my needs or anyone else's. All the repairs and replacement parts will need to come out of my pocket which will add another 300-350 to my already out of budget purchase. I do not recommend this dealership at all. Stay far far away.

Can you say bait and switch. Got a price on the web, dealt for 1 1/2 hours with the salesperson, she went to the Sales Manager who added $600 to the cost of the car for dealer installed extras I never asked for. He was talked down to $300 by Sandy. After I refused and I asked for the car I was quote at the quoted price he stated "the internet pricing is just to get you in". There was now way to purchase a car at the quoted price. I made use of the door in the eit direction.THE DEALERSHIP IS KNOWN FOR THIS PRACTICE! STAY VERY FAR AWAY!

We bought a 2005 Honda Accord (Used) from Gerald Subaru. We negotiated a price prior to tax. We had some questions prior to going into the business office of titling. Our salesman told us to ask Andre when we go into the office. When we went into the office, he stated we negotiated a out the door deal and not pre-tax. So the final price was as is on Chicago Tax rate, and not the naperville tax rate 2.5% less. They pocketed the 2.5%. Andre did'nt even attempt to shake our hand after the sell, I will definetly not go there again. Very poor customer service.

I bought my new Outback on 9.10.10, and can say that the service was very good, and there was very little pressure to buy something I didnt want. The price was excellent, the financing a breeze to walk through. All questions were answered, and the process was pretty painless. Buying a car is often an unpleasant experience, and one where I walk away thinking: 'what just happened?' I used a not-for-profit group called CarBargains to negotiate prices. Joe honored that, and really was friendly, and helpful. This is my second Outback (200K plus on the old one), and fourth new auto buying experience. I'd say this was the best new car buying experience Ive had. I'd encourage customers to do your homework, ask lots of questions, and do the math ahead of time. I'll shop at Gerald again the next time around.

My husband and I picked up our 2011 Subaru Outback (absolutely awesome car!) from Gerald of Naperville and we cannot warn people enough about staying away from this dealership. We ordered our Subaru and had to wait about 2 months for it to arrive, which was expected. What we didn't expect, was to have the price jump up $3000 from the MSRP price we had been promised by our salesman. When we asked for an explanation, the Manager was completely useless and couldn't offer any input, nor would he do any negotiating for the price. He didn't even have the decency to come and talk to us in person. Instead, he sent a sales person to tell us the awful news. He relayed a message through the sales person that he could sell the car without any problem and then we'd be out the $1000 we had to put down to order the car! What a perfect example of not caring about your customers or their business!!! Needless to say, we will NEVER be a customer of Gerald Subaru ever again. And that doesn't even include our complaints about the slow service, lies about financing deals, and other incompetency of the management staff. It was, by far, the WORST experience I have ever had buying a car. With so many Subaru dealerships in the Chicago land area, we highly recommend taking your business to one that's honest and consumer-focused! Gerald Subaru of Naperville and its management couldn't care any less than they do about the people buying cars, or the way they are treated!

An absolutely positive buying experience. No pressure or unnecessary tricks typically used by many auto dealers. Great advice from sales staff which resulted in the acquisition of a much better car and one that I will be much happier with.Will definitely recommend to friends and colleagues.I was even treated to a very nice lunch while purchasing the Subary Legacy.

The Old Bait and Switch. My Wife and I ordered a 2011 Outback from this dealer, and the experience was great up until we came in to pick it up. From the get go I wanted to talk total price with the sales personal, and they said that since its an order we would do that when the car came in. I was told a month and a half later that the car came in, and at that time I requested that the sales personal tell me the MSRP + the rest of the costs that get put on the purchase (title, destination charge what not). I was given a "total price" and then planned a day to pick up the car. The day came, and my wife and I headed in to make the purchase. When we got there we were told that our original sales person did not work there any longer (fine whatever), and that what was given to me as the MSRP/total price, was what they knew as the agreed upon price. That was not the case. Lets say the purchase process started off way on the wrong foot. Given this mix up, my wife and I understood that this could happen and took it in stride. Then in the finance stage signing off on the purchase we noted that we have good credit, and we could get the 2.9% APR, I mentioned that in the deal stage of the purchase and had been given that expectation. When inquired about the APR with the finance personal he had to search in the contract, and then informed us that we would get a higher rate of 3.9% and that there was nothing he could do about that. Thats fine if that is our rate, but why were we led to believe we would get the 2.9% in the first place. In all I can't say much bad about the car, but the process to get the car, I can say this. STAY AWAY, Go anywhere else, do not buy from Gerald Subaru of Naperville. I would rather drive farther, and pay more to a honest dealer.

The salesman answered all questions asked. After purchasing, I found some promises are not true, such as free car wash in service dept. Indeed, you must have service then get car-wash. They are friendly before the deal and not-friendly at all after the deal.I have been happy buyer with local Dodge, Honda, and Toyota dealers. It is the first time for me so disappointed with this Subaru/Kia dealer.

Horrible. It took two weeks for a reponse even though we have corporate discount linked to their dealership. Asked if she can beat price of another dealer and forward her the email from the dealer as prove, she said, "you must be buying these in bulk for that price".

Agreed on a price with my options for a new Subaru on the phone, after some back and forth. Drove an hour to the dealership, and was told "big" boss couldn't do the deal. It was "only" $52 over, so decided to go ahead anyway. Looked over the inexplicable "contract." It basically says car make and model, but didn't have most of the other features listed (finance person said they do everything electronically, and "look at the car sticker," which was in the shop). And mysteriously, there was one other line item for $600, for a feature we had agreed upon. If I hadn't been paying attention, I wouldn't have noticed, since there was never any explanation. And then "big" boss said we should be pay extra there for customer service. As my husband put it, seriously? This is customer service? GET IT IN WRITING FROM THEM, AND DEFINITELY READ EVERYTHING before dealing with this shady place.
