I bought a 2019 Highlander, they said it was the demo model, in August 2019. Salesman couldn't have been nicer. Bought my kids snacks and drinks. When he heard my husband was ill with cancer, he was so sympathetic and helpful. I love the car. But, here's the best part. Some days later, I was eating at Eat 'N' Park with my kids and ran into same salesman. He remembered me, asked how my husband was, and then he asked how the car was running. I said great, but I'm having a little issue with the trunk not opening all the way. He immediately said, "I know how to fix it. If you give me your keys, I'll take a look at it RIGHT NOW." I couldn't believe it! I said, "you're eating dinner! I'll bring it into the shop!" He says, "it'll take two seconds to fix," and insists I am not intruding! So, he takes my keys and proceeds to FIX MY CAR RIGHT THERE IN THE PARKING LOT. He was right, it took two seconds and it's been running great ever since. He showed me how to keep the same problem from happening again, and wished my husband well. We parted ways with me feeling absolutely wonderful. Please, find this man and thank him for me. Please, promote this man. He's amazing. Spitzer in general has always been wonderful, this is the third car I've leased from there. After this, I'll never go anywhere else.

I purchased a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander from Spitzer Toyota (Monroeville, PA), and…read moreunfortunately, my ownership experience has been plagued by significant safety recalls, mechanical failures, and frustrating service hurdles. While the vehicle has potential, the reliability and initial customer support have been far below Toyota's reputation. Major Issues Encountered: Safety Recalls: Shortly after purchase, the vehicle was hit with the June 2024 side curtain airbag recall. Knowing that safety features might not deploy correctly in a brand-new family SUV is deeply concerning. Drivetrain & Electronic Glitches: I experienced persistent noise and vibration from the front CV joints/axles. Initially, the service department dismissed my concerns, claiming the vehicle was "fine." It was only after I insisted on a ride-along with a technician that they finally acknowledged the technical failure. It took several appointments to get this "annoying" and "noisy" issue resolved. Hybrid Battery Failure: My wife was driving when the dashboard lit up with every conceivable warning (Engine, Transmission, Airbags, Toyota Safety Sense). The car entered "limp mode," refusing to go over 30 mph. Toyota kept the car for an entire month to replace the hybrid battery chip. While a loaner was provided, a total battery system failure on a new vehicle is unacceptable. Power Liftgate Malfunction: Most recently, the trunk sensor has failed. The liftgate opens electronically but refuses to close via the button. Because it is a power system, closing it manually is difficult and counterintuitive. Driving Dynamics: The driving experience is significantly less refined than other Toyota models I've driven. Specifically, the braking system is not very responsive compared to the regular Highlander or the Toyota Venza. It lacks the "bite" you expect in a large SUV. Furthermore, you cannot drive this vehicle aggressively; it feels less comfortable and less satisfactory in its handling than the standard Highlander. Verdict: Between the mechanical defects and the initial struggle to have my concerns taken seriously by the service team, I cannot recommend the 2024 Grand Highlander. For a vehicle at this price point, I expected much higher quality control and a more proactive service experience.

Terrible service. When I picked up my VW after a state inspection and 60k service, the engine…read morelight was on and my turn signal bulb was out. No one checked to make sure the engine light was not on before they returned the car to me. Further, the service department does not answer their phone or check their voicemails. Not one employee apologized or for the inconvenience when I returned. After the engine light came on again a day later, I escalated the issue to the general manager hoping for someone to take some accountability and was surprised to find that he did not care about the case or about my business. He actually stated that if I "had a bad experience, I should not come back". He made no attempt to win back my loyalty or take any accountability. This was crazy to me because I am in the market for a new VW. I will definitely not be buying it at Day. My recommendation as a savvy VW driver and reasonable human being is to never visit this dealership for sales or service.

Craig and Brad were extremely knowledgeable, professional and displayed a high level of customer service. My wife had driven a Subaru for the past 6 years and had several questions regarding the safety and performance of the vehicle. They not only knew their product line but also their competitors. They went above and beyond to describe the technology and engineering that went into the many safety features available in the Passat without downgrading the competition. A major deciding factor of our purchase was the ability to take the Passat home overnight to get a real life feel for driving the car before we made the purchase. Test drives are nice but until you take it on your daily routine you don't know how well it will perform. In addition to the numerous safety features that my wife was insistant on, the Passat has plenty of gadgets, a ton of power, is very spacious, and looks "gorgeous" as my wife would say! We would highly recommend not only the Passat but more importantly Imports by Day for their amazing customer service and selection of vehicles. Great experience overall!

BEWARE THEY ARE DISHONEST!…read more I was a first time customer at Cochran Subaru and took my 2011 WRX to have a new clutch and suspension installed. The initial quotes I got were reasonable. I was already spending thousands, but was gauged hundreds in extra costs, some of which I feel were not justified. At one point, Eric called and said the rear toe adjustment arms were seized, and it would be an additional $800+! ($500+ for parts, $300 labor). I found that price hard to believe, so I asked him for the part numbers. After looking on subaruparts websites the total was only $200 for parts. I called Eric back and he seemed flustered and put me on with his parts guy. The parts at Cochran were actually $277 NOT $500+! Hmm??? However, the labor was still $300 for what literally amounts to two extra bolts added to the suspension work already being done. When I picked up the car, the first thing Eric said was "I told you about the exhaust gaskets." I said "no you did not." He said they had to replace two exhaust gaskets (which makes sense) and that it would be another $190. When I was surprised at the price he said, "well they had to drop the exhaust." I wish I would have pushed back then, but I was intent on discussing the $300 labor for the two extra bolts. But dropping the exhaust is part of the $2850 clutch job already. So I was being charged for that labor twice. There is no way to replace a clutch without dropping the exhaust. So I would call that double dipping! A few times during our discussion, Eric said "well I gave you good pricing on this to begin with" as if that justifies then gauging me later. When discussing the rear toe arms, Eric called his manager over. The manager said that his guy had to do the alignment twice, and that's why it was $300. That made more sense to me, and though it still seemed high, I relented. Imagine my shock when later finding on the bill, that not only was I charged the $300 plus $270 for parts, but I was also charged $160 for the alignment! So in the end I paid $730 for an alignment and two toe arms. Ridiculous. It's clear they were just padding the bill. The impression I got was I wasn't a customer, I was an opportunity. They had my car, I was getting a lot of work done, so I was an opportunity to squeeze as much money as possible while it was there. I don't mind spending extra when it's warranted. My view is, get it taken care of while it's there. Spend the money now, avoid the headache later. But here I don't feel they were being honest with me. They were double dipping and over-charging for labor. Milking me for hundreds of extra dollars on what was already going to be an almost $5000 bill. That said, the work itself seems (so far) to be good. Everything on the car is performing as it should. So I would say the mechanics did a good job. But it's the dishonesty I can't abide. I pay premium rates at dealers to get quality work and honest brokers. The competition - Baierl Subarus' estimates were higher in this case. But at least there, when extra work is found, they send pictures of everything, or take you back and show you. And they don't gauge you. After this experience, I don't feel I can trust the guys at Cochran Subaru. I will not be doing business with them again.

My daughter bought a 2000 Kia Optima the end of September 2024. The finance person sold us an…read moreextended warranty from the "reliable" company they use called EasyCare. I had to fully purchase the warranty up front, which I did for 5 years. Within 2 months lights came on in the vehicle and my daughter took it to a Kia dealer where she was in college. The dealer told her that there was zero oil in the vehicle which is very strange and performed an oil change. We contacted Cochran about the issue and they refused to fix the issue or take a look at the vehicle. We continued to monitor the oil and got regular oil changes as required by the warranty company. In August of 2025, as my daughter was on her way back to college, her car started smoking and we had to take it to have it assessed. The bill to fix the oil issue then had moved to an issue with the engine. We submitted the bill to the warranty company and they would not cover it after repeatedly submitting oil change receipts with details. It didn't matter that we changed the oil according to their requirements they still denied the claim stating that the prior owner likely did not change it according to their requirements. I had to pay over $4k out of pocket in less than a year to have the engine replaced. At that time, I opted to cancel the extended warranty after learning from that dealership that Easycare rarely accepts claims, she had battled them on many occasions and rarely has good news for customers on their claims. I called Cochran and worked with Mike the finance person on my warranty cancelation. I explained to him that I paid in full for it and that the refund for the balance of the warranty should go directly to me, not to the balance of the car loan that is in my daughter's name. He explained that it would take up to 90 days for the refund. I called and followed up a few times and he told me it was in process. After 3 months, he stopped following up with me. I found out that the refund was put into my daughter's balance of her car loan instead of sent to me. I am owed an explanation - not only did I pay in full up front for this warranty, they would not fix an issue that arose within 2 months of having the vehicle, the warranty company would not accept the claim, so I'm out a lot of money to have it fixed and then on canceling the warranty, they did not refund me - they refunded my daughter by taking it from the balance of her loan. To boot, nobody at Cochran Mazda is providing me with any explanation of why this happened and why they are not responding to my emails or calls over the last 5 months. I've emailed and called Mike asking for an explanation, given him plenty of time to get back to me. I've called the other finance manager Tony - but his voicemail inbox is full. I've messaged them on their website and was told someone would get back to me ASAP - have not heard from anyone.

When the countryman died of engine failure at over 110k miles, in June I purchased another older mini cooper. This is when our relationship changed. It was burning oil at an alarming rate, smoke was coming out of the exhaust, almost always after idling for a lengthy time and sometimes upon starting the car. I had it accessed by Murrysville Auto and a part replaced with the stipulation being that might and might not resolve the issue pointing to possible engine issues. Fair enough. I was glad to have honest information to make the decision. When it still exhibited smoke from the exhaust, I immediately made another appointment to have it reaccessed. This time, instead of Cody (owner) who always had relayed the information to me in the past, his mother, Jerrie (President) gave me info stating no further repairs were needed or recommended, that it was burning oil and the solution offered was for me to simply check the oil EVERY DAY. At this point, I questioned outloud to Jerrie in person if they were trying to tell me they didn't want my business any longer. She assured me that was not the case. We then talked and, with Cody in the conversation, as well, a rebuilt engine was found with a cost of installation being 15k. I agreed, thinking a total engine replacement would fix the issues. Before I could pay, I needed to transfer funds for next business day. In the meantime, a new light came on -- the engine reduced power light. This was a new symptom and my research showed it might mean more than an engine alone. I could not, with this new info, afford to pay 15k and not have a total solution so canceled the order for the engine. Now, Murrysville Auto lets me know the seller of the engine was charging a restock fee of 1600. This restock fee was not divulged to me on my paperwork which is unlawful and non-binding in PA. To just be done with the transaction and move on, I agreed to pay 1600. But then, Cody tells me it is actually more than 1600. I stand by the 1600 relayed to me and pay that. Soooo, bottom line I stand by my intuition that Murrysville Auto wanted to sever business relations with me, though I had been a long-time loyal customer and always paid my repairs in full, on the spot, with no questions on pricing or suggested repairs until this car purchased in June, less than 3 months and less than 1500 miles ago. By having Jerrie and not Cody give me the latest non-repair advice of simply checking oil EVERY.SINGLE.DAY which is ludicrous to charging and not divulging a restock fee (first, I would never back out of a contract except I had new vital info), it seems obvious that I will not be continuing my service with them for this car or any other. I have no idea what changed to come to their final ways of doing business, but it is what it is. They are not the same trusted business that I came to trust and rely on all these years.
