get the story straight, please

I believe that not all car salespeople have to be shady and unethical, but Joshua (from online sales) gave me a bait and switch today. I inquired about a car posted on their site, Joshua said it was available for me to come look at, and then told me it was 30-days out when I pushed for more info. Today vs 30-days is a big difference, and I don't take commuting to Killeen lightly.

Headliner damage

Wildly unethical, shady business practices. The more I learn about the stunts they pull the more I am amazed that they are still operating. I bought a used Outback from them one year ago this week. Since I don't live in Killeen, I have all my service done at the Austin dealership. This week my windshield developed a large crack seemingly out of nowhere, and upon replacement the Austin dealership discovered that the windshield had been improperly installed by Cleo Bay without a gasket. (This in and of itself can compromise the strength of the glass.) Cleo Bay's windshield replacement job also damaged the vehicle, ripping the headliner in multiple places and leaving a mess of liquid sealant all over painted portions of the frame. There were also sticky pieces of foam strips coming loose on the interior where the glass meets the dash. When I asked for assistance with this completely undisclosed damage, they offered zero recourse and have claimed they are not liable. Zero effort has been made to right this wrong, and it's been like pulling teeth to get them to understand why I would be upset about the damage they caused and concealed. They also have lied about multiple things, like claiming that my Subaru Austin service representative "used to work for them." I have also requested to speak with the general manager multiple times and it has not happened. The salesperson who sold me the car failed to follow up with me when he said he would - I'm still waiting - and barely even grasped what the problem was even after I sent him photos of the damage. He hadn't even bothered to read the email I sent him before he called me, and then was wildly dismissive of my concerns. This is absolutely unacceptable and is a very bad look for Subaru America. My experiences with the Austin dealership have all been positive, but Cleo Bay is dishonest and unethical.

Once again, I returned for a new style and color after 2.5 years. I live in Austin, but I keep coming here. Nowhere else compares. Pros: 1. best prices 2. best selection/variety in styles and color 3. The lot is sparse where you can actually see the difference when comparing cars. In Austin and Georgetown, cars are so tightly packed, I can't see the true colors or differences. Austin Subaru also has trees in one of their overflow lots so the shade makes it hard to see plus that means sap and bird poop on new cars if that matters to you. 4. Staff are accommodating, knowledgeable, accountable, enjoy each other and customers. Every single staff person smiles and greets customers in passing 5. Parts are usually in stock 6. Service department is fast. Ex: They told me to be prepared to wait for hours, but it was actually less than an hour 7. Snacks and electrical outlets for charging available. Food nearby 8. I've bought a lot of cars. This place makes it easy and painless. 9. The wait area is comfortable Cons: none that I can think of Paul was our sales rep this time. I always enjoy seeing mike (in finance). Thomas is a sales person that is always full of joy, laughter, warmth, and loves his job. I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of their sales reps. I love this place and will continue to return.

This dealership is amazing they work with you they talk to you they're consistent and they always solved any issues that came up. These guys are amazing they're clean. They're respectable and quite friendly. You definitely want to come here.

Green box by windshield is marked as good but the drawing marks showed there is damage. Not consistent. Contradictory.

This place is a complete joke. Don't go here. Go to Austin for your Subaru needs. Incompetent, unprofessional, disappointing.

in 2022 I bought a 2020 Nissan pathfinder. within 40,000 miles, The motor completely broke apart…read moreand Carmax refused to get it in their shop or fix it. I ended up taking it to a Nissan dealership where it has sat in the shop for three months waiting for their extended warranty (CarMax ) to kick in and cover it. I then had to provide 10 oil change receipts and they made Nissan scope the entire motor to prove that it was nothing on my part that caused a piece of metal to chunk off of in to the motor. They took their time to the point we had to buy a new vehicle elsewhere. Carmax has managed to lose my paperwork on my gap insurance as well, and I've had to do all the legwork of providing original documents to prove what they sold me. their lack of response and customer service is a joke once they sell a car they have no regards for you and they are downright selling crap cars and getting away with it. they will not help you once you are out the door. how they are getting away with it legally case by case is ridiculous. i Will never touch CarMax again. I been on several platforms against CarMax for their less than mediocre sales and practices

So overall I'd say we had a good experience. We drove near 4 hours to get to this dealership solely…read morebecause they had a 2006 Honda CR-V with decently low mileage for an almost 20 year old vehicle. It was the lowest mileage one I could find that was the EX trim so we decided it was worth it to make the trip up here from Houston. I was able to negotiate to a fair enough price over the phone as well so that's a plus for them and they let us test drive the car on our own which was a nice change from most dealerships. They mentioned that work was also done on the car for it to be sold like the struts being replaced and an oil change. They painted the car themselves which sounds nice and it mostly is but this is where my 4 star rating comes from. There's paint in quite a few places on the car where there really shouldn't be and we can't get it off without replacing the parts entirely. This could have been easily avoided if there was just more care in the masking process. There's also a lot of residue from the duct tape that was used. I appreciate the paint job being done but if they put more care into it and used actual masking tape this would have been an easy 5 stars. Still recommend the place though.

My wife and I had a great experience with the owners, I appreciate that they let us wonder around…read morelooking at vehicles as opposed to constantly looking over our shoulder as we looked around. They were very relaxed and I felt no pressure from them to make a purchase. I also am a fan of supporting a family business. Lastly I appreciate that it took less than 3 hours from arrival to the dealership to us driving away with our vehicle. Felt much better than a big corporate dealership experience!

I will never purchase a vehicle from this business again. Our sales man, Dominic, was okay, but…read moreother than that this experience has been quite ridiculous. The customer service after finishing paperwork went way out the window. My husband and I can't seem to get anyone to call us back, I finally had to go in person to get answers, the manager over our finance rep. had us less than confident to recommend Automax to anyone. It's been less than two weeks and I feel like I'm still playing phone tag to get a definite answer about my temp tags/plates. I keep getting told so and so will "call you back" and I wait only to have to call back two days later because no one got back with me. I fully understand I am not their only customer and that these places can get overwhelmed with people browsing, looking to buy and/or in the process of making a purchase - I get it- but I would appreciate some form of communication to let me know what's going on with the minor issue I am experiencing.

BUYER BEWARE!!!! I brought a car from Automax in 2008…read more Payed it off. Loved it. TIMES HAVE CHAGED. I went to Automax a few months ago with no car to trade in and almost an 800 credit score. I now have a mid 600 credit score and upside down 10,000$ on a car I did not set out to have. I first got a used Land Rover. I did not like how it drove. It was a really rough ride. The check engine light came on. I took it back to the dealership. I should of listen to the lady in the waiting area that was there getting her money back on a car that blew up right after getting it. I also should of paid attention to all the BAD REVIEWS they have. I had to do a total trade in and I got an brand new Ford Edge. Almost 4000 miles out it totally broke down. (A belt came off) I was not taking it back. So I ended up getting a Hyundai Tucson. At signing time my credit score is mid 600 due to all the credit checks they ran and me not having Equity in the Ford that broke down, and No rebates that was promised was "available". I regret ever going there now . Not only do I have a lower credit score, and upside down 10,000$ I also missed out on work and upset I let this happen to me. I let my opinion be known and I was told this is all they could do. This will take almost 10 years to fix. Now not responding to my emails. DONT GO TO AUTOMAX!

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience deserves recognition…read more After a frustrating encounter with a large national dealership that changed key terms after inviting me in under a "sign and drive" offer, and online preapproval. I urgently needed a reliable vehicle that fit both my needs and budget due to my BMW X3 being in the shop nearly a entire month. I remembered that a old colleague (Wanda) that I worked with over 20 yrs. ago was now the finance director at the Key Connect. Called key connect where Wanda listened to my needs and concerns and set me up to come in the next day. The manager Jordan ("J") exemplified what customer service should be. Rather than trying to sell me what was readily available, he took the time to understand my situation, carefully listened to my needs, and leveraged Key Connect's extensive dealership partnerships to give us more flexibility for vehicle inventory to significantly expand my options. His dedication, professionalism, and willingness to work collaboratively throughout the process made all the difference. Once we found the right vehicle, Samara at the Platinum Autoplex dealership handled the financing process with exceptional efficiency, transparency, and expertise. She was knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with--easily one of the best F&I experiences I've had throughout my years of purchasing vehicles. What truly stood out, however, was the dealership's commitment to doing the right thing. During my vehicle inspection, a technician noticed the tire tread was approaching replacement levels. Before I had even finished signing the paperwork, four new tires had already been ordered. There were no excuses, no attempts to cut corners--just proactive service, honesty, and genuine care for the customer. That moment perfectly reflected the culture of this organization. Throughout my visit, I witnessed multiple team members working together to support customers and one another. It was clear that the focus wasn't simply on completing a sale, but on delivering an outstanding customer experience through teamwork, integrity, and accountability. My sincere thanks to Jordan, Samara, the service team, and everyone involved. You exceeded my expectations. And to Corey and Wanda, congratulations on building a culture that prioritizes people, professionalism, and customer care. The positive environment and commitment to excellence demonstrated by your team are truly commendable. Five stars without hesitation. If more were available, they would be well deserved.

They had super customer service especially Ms Markie. It was fast and easy I would surely say they…read moredid what they said they was going to do and that's put me in a car. Thank you
