mikesae Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Richmond Subaru. It's bollocks. Just a few chairs and a TV that's used as a radio in the showroom. I usually have a coffee from their espresso machine and walk across the street for a haircut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS5689 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I walk to my friends house and usually nap on her couch when I wait for my car. Our waiting area is in this tiny corner of the Ford dealer and has a few magazines and nothing else.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_J Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 +1 ... it is contigent on the region (how competitive the market is) and whether or not it is a 100% dedicated Subaru dealership. In snow / mountain country Subaru sales are huge in comparison to other areas of the country such as Texas where there is not so much of a need for AWD. I hear that in places like Colorado and New England the number of Subaru's on the road is much higher vs other parts of the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rouar Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Manchester Subaru, NH. 3. Three big comfy leather recliner sofas are its high point. 36" tube TV, some magazines. It's in the large service area with some showroom cars, a bit chilly. No wifi, and cell phone signal depends on where you sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where we live, north of Ottawa in Canada, it's snow country and dealer's call it Subie Heaven! It seems every second hovel has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZZMAN Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think they should put a stripper pole in all Subaru waiting rooms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunra Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 When it really gets cold, we can put the elderly out on the ice, saves having to dig through all the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longislander1 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 My Subaru dealer -- North Coast in Glen Cove, NY -- is a real mom-and-pop operation and I mean that in a positive way. The waiting room and service desk are nothing special, but I don't spend much time in either. For minor service, I bring the car in at 8, walk down to the local coffee shop for breakfast and pick it up at 9. For major service, they have a loaner ready to go (and they've promised to continue that policy after the warranties are up on either car). They greet me with a smile and the owner knows my name. It's 90 bucks an hour, but everything costs more here on LI. (Plus, when you've paid Porsche $250 for an oil change, all else looks like a bargain.) I'll never be doing my own service and haven't had the time (or need) to find a good indie shop, so I'm hooked. I've done the European thing with the capuccino machine, flat screen TVs, etc. at $120 an hour or more and I'm not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
