Already have an have called to find out if our guy put things through.
@Heedz, LOL yeah, but that was so long ago or I'm so old I forget it.
Something to do with offroad, rally, and other race stuff. I'm not trying to be traveling anymore. I just want to make an impact here and still see the wife and kid each night.
I still want peeps feedback and as soon as the rest of this falls into place it'll have an official thread.
AFAIK this is just a bunch of friends telling me what they want. That way if I screw up all I gotta do is buy someone a beer instead.

ROFL, no. Someting along the lines of "Obi..something or other" and then there's google search for all the peeps who want to FanBoi* up on me using terms like Toyota, Subaru, etc.
Now, again, back on topic, some great feedback peeps!
*I swear if any of you come FanBoi'n up I will run aways. I am a simple guy, married and all growns ups with other pursuits and interests now.
As far as the IRF's themselves I definitely intend to see they are listened to and taken care of.

- Competence, attitude, and honesty. Ryan, Unit 91, was a big loss to this community when he moved. A parts guy should use him as a quality example of how a parts guy should be.
- If your parts staff will be competent (a repeating trend here) about those parts, sure. A good example is Jackie, from Annapolis Subaru on Nazioc. Great at answering questions timely, with a decent knowledge of the parts. I don't expect her to know as much as the manufacturer of the parts, but enough to answer small questions.
She's not afraid to say "Let me find out for you...", something more people in this industry could stand to learn.
I like how all the basics are expressed so far.
Honesty.
Integrity.
Loyalty.
Humility.
Something to keep in mind for sure.

Mods can lock the thread down if they want. I appreciate everyone's feedback.
If things move forward, cool. If not I'll still hook peeps up.

So...
What specific things do you all look for in a dealership experience?
I would like to see them have some what knowledgeable sales/service people , Of youre tryng to purchase a performance oriented vehicle
What do you look for when dealing with say, Parts?
I would honestly look online for parts as the majority of dealership prices and skyhigh, with a few exceptions.
What about an aftermarket or manufacturer level producer parts option also?
Same as above
What about if you have other vehicles in your stable that aren't Subaru? (GASP! BLASPHEMY I TELL YOU!)
Besides Subaru, there is always the Evo route and or the 3 series at higher price points. There is also the Genesis Coupe R spec in either the v6 or 2.0T. They come with better interior IMHO and is a great deal @~27k for the turbo.
What kind of things make you go elsewhere or just plain **** you off?
When people lie to my face about things they don't know, Id much rather them say they don't know and find out than make something up. Loses ALL credibility
Yes, I'm going somewhere with this, those that already know feel free to speak up, those that want to know wait for it.
