I bought a used Forester at this dealership in December with only 19000 miles, still under warranty. The first sign that things were not quite right is that the car was advertised as having keyless entry and yet they wished to charge us for the remote (normally two remotes are supplied with a new car). There were other little things too, but I won't get into it. The only service record for the car was an oil change. Despite my not noticing this during the test drive, the car turned out to have a very erratic clutch. I took it to Cityside Subaru in Belmont were, under warranty, they replaced clutch and flywheel and revealed that this was the 2nd clutch change (that information was available to Quirk Subaru also but they did not disclose it). I am certain that Quirk could have caught this before selling me the car. If only they had the same enthusiasm about checking out the cars they sell as they do about selling bogus warranty extentions and tire protection schemes ...
Pros: big, professional dealership
Cons: sold me car with known, undisclosed problems
