Great and Smooth Buying Experience! Family Owned and Operated Dealership. We drove 2 and a half hours away to find a Subaru Ascent we were looking for an honestly, Id drive 2 and a Half Hours away again just to buy a car from them. Very professional and caring dealership. Ian and the Finance guy Andrew were very professional and not push at all. The Gentleman that went over the features of the car went over every feature of the vehicle before we left. Gave us a great deal from the start. When its time to replace my Wifes Subaru Legacy we will definitely look to them, even at 2.5 hours away.

Was the best experience of purchasing a new vehicle Ive ever had. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Any questions I had about the vehicle or finance was answered quickly and to my understanding. Would definitely purchase from Louis Thomas Subaru again. Am very pleased with my Subaru Crosstrek sport!

Tried to purchase through this dealership several years ago. The dealership refused to negotiate on purchase price even though same Subaru Forester in Columbus cost $2,000 less.As a cautionary tale, they told a heartwarming story about an elderly couple that decided to purchase from a Charleston dealership to save $100 bucks. They said that later, when they needed help, they told them to “go back to Charleston” and would never serve them.I would not give these people any business. Byers Subaru in Columbus was awesome to work with, provided excellent, no haggle pricing that saved us $2,000 and got us in and out quickly while we were on a trip to the zoo.

I had the recent pleasure of meeting Lou Thomas, his son Lou Jr. and the service staff on a consulting visit. I talk to and visit hundreds of new car dealers every year and the team here really stood out as a group that listens to and takes care of their customers like family. Highly recommend!

Came in for help to reset different electronics that werent working after my battery went dead. The book was overwhelming for me!!I was very upset that I was told that all of this was taking away from the gentlemans job in the office! I did try to figure it out myself.He said it was the mechanics job to reset the tire rotation business!! This man was irritated but a good customer shouldnt have to hear this. Why should I feel guilty for asking for help?????

We love the ease of getting in and out of our Forester. I have issues with my back and the ride is fantastic. My last vehicle was a 2009, and I feel very secure and ease of driving it is amazing. I can actually say “I love my Sabaru.

One of the BEST car buying experiences I’ve ever had. I felt like everyone at Louis Thomas Subaru was going out of their way to take care of me. When they did not have the exact car I was looking for, they went on the hunt of it and found it!From the moment I walked in the door, they took care of me like family. LOVE this dealership. Two new cars bought here in the past 4 months should tell you something. 💙

I have used Louis Thomas Subaru over the last ten years with no complaint. However on 3-30-21 i needed some work done on my front end. I told them to only repair the left front, replacing the strut and wheel bearing only as the right side had been repaired less than 1500 miles prior. They replaced the right front strut anyway. When I asked the associate about it when they presented my bill, he shrugged his shoulders and said When you replace one, you have to replace the other. and he turned his back on me and walked away. They also replaced a ball joint that had less than 20k miles on it. When they replaced my brakes and replaced a caliper (which needed replaced) they did not bleed the line and now I have to pay someone else to do it. This place is now a clip joint, a rip off. They have ceased being customer servers and are now primarily interested in making their quota, even if they have to rip you off. Avoid this place!

I have purchased 4 subarus from Louis Thomas. That is strong testimony. Service is fast and efficient for everything from oil change to questions about latest upgrade on my car.

Review №15

I wa very disappointed. I was in an accident and desperately needed transportation ASAP. My family, who do not live here, had to rely on the honesty of the dealers. Saying all this, they paid $14,000.00 plus taxes, in full, for used 2013 Legacy. Only to find out that three of the parts were previously replaced with non- Subaru parts along with a bad tires and batteries. When confronted, they denied it and offered no help or resolution. Shame on them.

Visited Louis Thomas Subaru yesterday with my son, he bought his first car. It was a good experience with very professional and friendly people. It was easy to see that Louis Thomas Subaru is a family business and why they are successful. I have purchased several vehicles over the years. This was the most pleasant by far. We will be back.

I had the best experience purchasing a car from Lou Thomas Subaru. They made every step so easy. I drove all the way from SC just to purchase because I was so impressed with their customer service, knowledge, expertise, and transparency through the whole process . They helped with all the paperwork and provided the best car buying experience I have ever had. Their attention to detail and genuine interest in their customers’ satisfaction is unlike any other dealership I have dealt with. They definitely want every customer to have a positive experience. I would recommend to all my family and friends in the area and will definitely be a lifetime customer. If you are in the market for a vehicle this is the place to go.

This is my first Subaru ever and it wont be my last. It was a shaky start to the relationship with Louis Thomas (misunderstandings on my part I believe). But every time I have went in for service on my girl, they have been so wonderful and amazing. Im now hooked on Subarus and Louis Thomas. Thank you for selling me my gal and thank you more for helping me keep her hopping along.

We love Louis Thomas Subaru. We have now purchased two Subarus from them and have received great service each time. The salesmen, financial, parts, and service departments are so helpful, kind and professional. We first purchased an Outback @ 2015 and ended up handing it down to our daughter to use while in college. We just purchased a new Forester and I love it!! You cant beat the quality of a Subaru and the dealership is top notch. We also appreciate that its been a local family run dealership for a long time with multiple generations working within it. I highly recommend you giving them a call if youre thinking of purchasing a Subaru. You will walk away a very happy person.

The outback is one super car, it has everything you need and more. Very comfortable to ride in and very little road noise. It has a lot of room in cargo space. We are very pleased that we purchased it at Lou Thomass Subaru in Parkersburg, West Virginia.

I bought a 2020 Subaru Crosstrek in pure red from Lou Thomas Subaru recently. To let you know how happy I am with this dealership, this was my 4th Subaru from them...and not because the others didn’t last. 😊 The experiences I have had with the sales, financing, and service teams have always been very pleasant. I would (and do) recommend Lou Thomas Subaru to everyone.

After being lied to by another dealership we found Louis Thomas Subaru online. Spoke with Rock who was totally honest with us, took the time to answer all of our questions and was just an AWESOME, down to earth guy! The financing went smoothly. We were in and out of there in no time at all. What a great family run dealership! I will never purchase another Subaru from anyone other than Louis Thomas, thanks guys!

Totally enjoying our brand new SUBARU OUTBACK!!!………A few weeks ago we went car shopping and drove a very long distance to a dealer in Ohio………not knowing they closed early on Saturday’s,we were actually told to leave that they were closing!!………Needless to say we were infuriated!!!…………but this story has a happy ending because on the way home we stopped at Louis Thomas Subaru and they saved the day………it just goes to show that sometimes what your looking for is right in front of your face....They had exactly what we were looking for at an unbelievable price!!……Never have we been treated so well and pleasantly during a car buying experience......HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DEALERSHIP!!!…………

Review №51

Im a satisfied customer of Louis Thomas Subaru since 2010. I like the guys in their service department, and I like the guys on the floor. So much so that I just bought a second Forester from Louis Thomas Subaru. I was satisfied with the deal I got. They met the price I was given in Columbus, saving me a good days drive. Working with Lou Jr. and his brother Andy with the deal and financing was painless and as quick as it could possibly be. Everyone rushes to help with the slightest question.Not sure where the priorities of some reviewers lie--in the appearance of the building? Youre not buying a building--youre buying a car. Hello? How about giving value to well-built, reliable cars, great customer service, small family businesses, and honor? Im impressed that this family has hung in--grandfather, father and two sons--and you can go there and meet every one. How many businesses have that? If you want to hang out in a fancy building, go shop in Columbus. Im thankful we have the Louis Thomas family here in Parkersburg, selling and servicing the best cars on the road.

After I bought my car and drive it for awhile I noticed something I forgot to ask about they were very good of answering all my questions and yes I would very much recommend this car dealer to anyone for they are always there when you need them. Subaru Forster is the one I bought for years I also bought a outback which is a good car to so come on down to Subaru to buy your new vehicle.

My husband and I found a great vehicle but we had just bought a house which made his credit score go down. Lou told us that he didn’t know why anyone would have even sold us a house but “I guess people need a place to live”. He was rude and treated us as if we were ignorant, although I’ve sold cars before and I understand exactly how the process goes. We felt very judged and not like we were potential customers at all. Nobody greeted us as we walked in. Not happy at all.

Fantastic experience on a lease deal.We dealt directly with the owner, presented him our target payment and he personally explained our options. They offered more for our trade-in than the three other dealers we visited, and the purchase process involved NO aggressive upselling.And a bonus for me (maybe not so much for others): they didnt apply a dealer logo-decal directly to the car.I never thought wed own a Subaru, until I met Louis and his family.

Stopped in today to test drive a new 2018 subaru wrx and the salesman didnt have the time for me to drive the car. I have a 750+ credit score and treated me as if I couldnt afford the 38k dollar car. Due to the rude treatment of the salesman, I will be more then happy to look at another dealership.Customer service is well below acceptable. Hope this review helps other customers, and the management at the dealership prevent / resolve the issue.

After we recently lost our previous Subaru due to a hailstorm, we also had no gap insurance so we were low on funds, my wife and I went here to get a used Subaru based on a recommendation. We could not have had a better experience. We were there for only 2 hours and were driving off with a new to us vehicle for around book price and NO haggling needed. I really can not say enough good things about these guys for being there in our time of need.

I recommend Lou Thomas Subaru to all of the Subaru aficionados out there! I have been a customer of Lou Thomas Subaru for over 15 years. I bought my kids their first cars from Lou and I have been a parts and service customer with them for just as long. They are honest and straightforward in their dealing and Subarus are the best go-anywhere/take anything vehicles on the market.

2017 subaru pulling to the right. Was still under warrenty. Service manager tried to say it is supposed to because of the crown in the road I guess he thinks we were morons...My husband said it acted like a sticking brake caliper. Service manager says I never heard of thatHonestly, this place is not very accommodating. They sent my car out to have the alignment checked, and it WAS OUT, AND NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS. (So much for the crown in the road theory)

Review №98

Great family owned and operated dealership, which I highly recommend. I met Eddie, who started the dealership back in the early 70s.(By the way, it has been a Subaru dealership since its inception). He was a very nice man and was more than willing to sit and chat. I also met Big Lou, who now runs the dealership. Working with him on the final paperwork was easy and stress free. Lou Jr. was my salesman. He was very nice and was willing to engage in some haggling, which is part of the fun (at least for me).The day I went to buy my Impreza, they were quite busy and I believe they sold 5 cars while I was there, with only 3 or 4 people doing sales and finance. Lou Jrs brother was on vacation and he typically does the finance paperwork, so things were a bit slow. They were very apologetic and even gave me one of their other cars to go grab lunch with my family, rather than sit around during the whole process.I never bought a new car of my own, although I have helped others in the process. Virtually all the cars, trucks, motorcycles, dirtbikes and atvs I have bought(or helped other people buy) have come from private owners or auctions. That is to say, I typically avoid dealerships and have always gotten the stereotypical car salesman vibe when I have dealt with them.Louis Thomas Subaru does NOT feel that way at all. If I am ever in the market for another Subaru, they will be my first call. I recommend that you call them, too.Lou Sr. even called me a few days after the sale just to check in and make sure I was doing well and didnt have any questions/concerns with my new car.I have had no experience with the service or parts departments, but I anticipate an equally positive experience should the need arrive.
