Whats up with Maita Subaru/Toyota?

Ive been driving by every night for the last month or so down Auburn Blvd on my way to work. Ive notice a great reduction in the amount of cars in both lots.

Toyota is almost empty and subaru is close behind. The new STi is no longer out front either.

Maita toyota/subaru has a VERY bad rep and everyone is learning not to go there. I have a lot of friends that work there that tell me all about it on a day to day basis. lol

I've had nothing but good experiences there. Though I've only ever dealt with the parts department.

What? Since when? I have had nothing but great experiences there, especially with the parts department.

Autowest Subaru is the one you're probably thinking of, they are absolute **** most of the time. A couple good guys work there but thats it.

to be totally honest, they have treated me pretty bad. ive gone there a few times to look for cars, and they basically told me to get lost, cause i wanted to pay with cash and not finance. which to me, is kinda weird. idk, id rather go to paul at DB tune if i need parts or stuff worked on....

Well of course you would, because Paul is a great guy who does great work and is much easier to talk to than the people at dealerships

But out of all the dealerships, I have found maita is the way to go. Never EVER go to autowest. They overcharge their parts like crazy. I ordered the same parts at maita after I told them what autowest was charging and they laughed at how crazy they were. I always get much better deals there than any other dealership.
