Miguel made the whole car-buying experience easy and stress-free from start to finish. He was friendly, honest, and really took the time to make sure I found the right car without any pressure. Everything was explained clearly and the process was smooth and fast. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase — highly recommend asking for Miguel if you want top-notch service!

Miguel made my first car-buying experience stress-free and enjoyable. He was patient, knowledgeable, and really worked with my budget. I appreciated that he spoke Spanish so my dad could fully be part of the process. I never felt pressured or uncomfortable, which meant a lot to me. Shout-out to Max, the Love Encore Specialist, for taking the time to set up my new car and explain all the features. Great service all around, highly recommend!

We recently purchased a Crosstrek from Putnam Subaru after trading in the Impreza which we purchased a year ago. Julian, our salesman, was top notch! He listened to everything we said and got us the best trade in for the Impreza, price on the Crosstrek and fair financing. He was cordial, sensitive to our needs, and respectful of our opinions. Riccardo was on hand before we left the lot to give us a full tutorial on the Crosstrek. Riccardo has a great sense of humor and was very thorough and patient with us. We were very happy with our second experience at Putnam Subaru as we had been a year ago when we purchased the Impreza.

The whole process felt smooth and respectful, which is rare in car buying. shout-OUT to CARTIER in Finance, who made the loan/purchase process clear and straightforward, and MAX, who took the time to walk us through the features and explain how everything works so we felt confident driving off the lot.

Hi I had a fantastic experience purchasing my 2026 Subaru Forester at Putnam Subaru in California. Julian Medina was outstanding—no pressure, very knowledgeable, and extremely patient throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and genuinely listened to my concerns. Julian also helped me trade in my old car for store credit, which made the financial side much easier. I truly appreciated his understanding and support. After the purchase, Ricardo Villanueva did an excellent job reviewing the technology and safety features of the vehicle. He was thorough, patient, and made sure I felt confident using everything before leaving the dealership. Overall, the entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. I highly recommend asking for Julian Medina when you visit the dealership, and after your purchase, request Ricardo Villanueva to go over the technology and safety features. Putnam Subaru is the place to go if you’re looking for a new Subaru.

We recently bought our Subaru Impreza from Putnam in Burlingame. We had an excellent experience from start to finish. Julian Medina helped us determine what features we wanted and the best price for our Subaru. He went above and beyond in helping us drop off our 25+ year Subaru as part of a Bay Area program to remove old vehicles from the road. He picked us up in Port Richmond and drove us to the Putnam dealership to conclude the sale of our Subaru that same day. Ricardo Villanueva sat with us that day to calmy and clearly go through the numerous new features in our vehicle. He is truly an expert who is exceptional in explaining and showing how to find the features that help make our driving experience better. After a few months, we went in again to the dealership for a follow-up session with Ricardo. He was very generous with his time and expertise, calmly showing us how to navigate the car computer, explaining which features might be turned on and for what purpose, noting that other features were not likely to be useful and could be turned off. He was patient, clear, and exceptionally helpful. We are far more than satisfied customers. We are cheerleaders for Putnam.

If you’re looking to purchase/lease a new or used Subaru vehicle. Do yourself a favor.!Stop in to Putnam Subaru, and ask for Miguel Reyes. We have purchased 3 vehicles in the past 5 years with his help. Although they are a 45 minute drive from home. The value and courtesy Miguel Reyes at Putnam Subaru provides, just can’t be beat. He is personalble and has a great personality. We love our new 2026 Outback Touring.

I appreciated Dominic Bati (sales) who worked out a great deal for my Crosstrek. The detailed explanations of all the features of the car by Ricardo Villanueva (love encore specialist). I appreciate all the time Ricardo spent explaining to me and my wife. Thankful to Adrian Yik (finance) in completing all the paperwork and the additional add ons to give me a peace of mind. Everyone at Putnam Subaru was helpful and friendly.

So I purchased a 2026 Subaru Forrester from Putnam Subaru on Saturday, December 13 I dealt with Miguel and I had come to the Subaru dealership purely because Miguel and his Customer Service ethics the day prior I had spent four hours at a Toyota dealership in Livermore, this was not a great experience. They didn’t have the car I wanted they misled me about the pricing as well as the end payment for a lease. They also tried to give me to purchase a completely different car that I did not want and this led me to take a look at my text messages where I noticed that Miguel had texted me back from a few days before I decided to give Miguel a call to see what he could do to get me into a Subaru I was only trying to save a little money at Toyota. I know my mistake so in my conversation with Miguel he was very informative. He was helpful. He was professional and I didn’t feel like he was a salesman at all. I felt like he was someone who was just telling me how it is and trying to give me the best deal possible on the Subaru. I wanted to thank him for all of his hard work as well as Ricardo, who walked me through the new settings of the Forrester, which I didn’t know before, and they both did an excellent job. They’re very professional and helpful. I would definitely go here again to purchase a Subaru and I live in Modesto California by the way.

Bought an Outback Onyx trim from Miguel. Of all the dealerships I inquired with, Miguel’s dealership had the best price and I didn’t want any dealer/manufacturer add ons (I could buy them separately and install most of them myself for way cheaper) My husband and I drove up from Orange County to buy this car once we finalized the OTD price in writing. We were in and out in less than two hours, which is fast if you know the car buying process. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would def recommend Miguel to my friends and family in the Bay!

I recently purchased a Used Car from Putnam, and was helped by Chris Tyminski. Chris provided me with exceptional service during my recent purchase of a used car from Putnam. From the moment I registered an interest in the vehicle, he reached out to me with a friendly phone call and provided an honest summary of the car. His straightforward approach and the effort to schedule a convenient time for me to come and see the vehicle were greatly appreciated. The viewing and negotiation process were conducted in a professional and pressure-free manner, which made the entire experience enjoyable. Chris took the time to address all my questions and concerns, ensuring that I felt confident in my decision. Even after driving the car off the lot, I continue to feel comfortable knowing that Putnam has a strong customer focus and a solid track record. This gives me peace of mind that I have purchased a sound and reliable car for my college-aged kids.

Putnam Subaru was clear, quick, and very reassuring. They introduced me to a warranty I didn’t even know my car had, and never made me feel pressured to accept a service. If you are opting for a dealer service center, i highly recommend this one!

Have been a service customer for a decade. Wanted to stay loyal to Putnam. Horrible disappointment. Bait and switch sales tactics that included good cop - bad cop. Took away our trade in keys to prevent us from leaving in disgust. Service center is expensive, but the experience is great. Don’t even think about sales. From now on it’s Carvana for me.

The service team massively exceeded my expectations. I had an unexpected electrical failure in my Impreza late in the afternoon before an important morning trip. The service manager understood that I was in a tight spot and worked to get a technician available. They diagnosed the fault and fixed it within an hour! It was friendly small-town service in the middle of the Peninsula.

I had an excellent experience working with Miguel Reyes on my Subaru Impreza purchase! From start to finish, Miguel made the process incredibly easy and smooth. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always took the time to answer my questions without any pressure. Miguel made sure everything was handled efficiently, and I truly appreciated his professionalism and attention to detail. I couldn’t be happier with my new Impreza and the great service I received. Highly recommend Miguel to anyone looking for a stress-free car-buying experience!

Steven was amazing! I got a new Forester Hybrid a couple weeks ago. I wanted the Touring trim with duel tone which typically requires special order. He was able to pull some magic within days and arranged the test ride. He even prepared the docs, so I could test drive, sign and pick up the car in 3 hours. He knew I wanted the OEM skid plate, so he's gone above a beyond to hook me up with their Service Center for a quote. Also a big shout out to Ricardo who spent time with me to go over all the new functions of the car. My last Subie was 2014, so this new one is a big upgrade to me. Having this personal touch is way different than googling that myself over the internet. After losing trust from another Subaru dealership in the Bay (I don't want to callout the name), I'm glad that I've found another one that I can trust. Thank you so much, guys!

I recently purchased a 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid from Chris Tyminski (from Putnam Subaru), and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. My family first visited the showroom over the summer to check out the car, and we were immediately grateful to have connected with Chris. He took the time to show us the vehicle, answered all of our questions, and was incredibly warm, never pushy. When we were ready to make the purchase this month, we reached out to Chris to start the process. I had contacted several other Subaru dealerships in the area to compare prices, but Chris was able to match or beat every quote we received and work with us on pricing. Also, even though the color we wanted wasn’t initially in stock, he was able to locate one quickly and honor our negotiated price without any hassle. Overall, Chris truly stood out from all the other dealers I communicated with, he was the most genuine, responsive, and professional of the group. My husband and I were thrilled to give him our business and wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future because of his exceptional service. Also, after purchasing, Ricardo walked through all the features of the car with us, which was so incredibly helpful as well!

Putnam Subaru gave us the best deal on our 2025 Outback. Miguel Reyes was professional, explained all incentives, and helped us save over $3K compared to other dealers. Highly recommend! GREAT WORK, MIGUEL! Best regards,- The Happy Family from Sacramento, CA.

My experience at Putnam Subaru was excellent. The customer care by the sales rep, Konstantin Morozov was outstanding. They’re all great at what they do here at Putnam Subaru. From the floor sales to the finance team and the service department. Big thanks to konstantin for working out a deal on my new Crosstrek wilderness edition in the nick of time.

We worked with Miguel Reyes of this car dealer. Me and my daughter were thrilled by exceptional service this Internet sales manager provided in all aspects of the purchase. We have bought or leased cars over 40 years, make deals online (or via phone) before going to the dealership, and I must admit that Miguel was the best sales manager I came across.

Big shoutout to Miguel!! We started shopping for a car for my daughter approximately one year ago. Miguel has been answering my questions throughout the year even though he is not sure if we will buy a car or not. I will definitely refer my friends to him whenever they are looking for a Subaru. Ethan at service is super nice and he helped installing the front license plate for me. Ricardo walked my daughter through all the functions in the car and about the car. Thanks Putnam Subaru!!

My husband and I had an outstanding experience with Subaru's Salesperson, Julian Medina. His exceptional people skills made us feel comfortable and valued throughout the whole process. He patiently answered all our questions with clarity and expertise, guiding us toward the perfect car. Thanks to his dedication, we were able to purchase a brand new car instead of a used one, and we absolutely love it! We are happy with our Subaru Forester. We highly recommend Julian Medina for anyone looking for a stress-free, personalized car buying experience. Special thanks to Ricardo Villanueva, the Product Specialist, who went above and beyond. His deep knowledge and patience made all the difference - he took time to explain every feature of the car and answered all our questions clearly. We were unaware of this great service and learned so much. Left very impressed and grateful. Highly recommend this team! Thank you, Julian and Ricardo.

Had an amazing experience at this dealership. Miguel is a wonderful salesperson. I felt comfortable, heard. The entire engagement was conversational, not rushed, and kind. Julian also did a great job installing the auto-dimming mirror. My family was impressed by the service I received & are now planning to buy a Subaru, their first new car in 20 years. Thank you Miguel, Julian, and Putnam Subaru.

This is my second Subaru purchase, and both times I had the pleasure of working with Miguel Reyes. My first was in late 2023, and just this past Labor Day weekend, it was time for our family to upgrade from a Crosstrek to an Ascent. Miguel made the entire process effortless. All I had to do was share what I was looking for, when I wanted to come in, and he had everything ready to go. When we arrived, the car was waiting for us to test drive. Miguel remembered exactly what model we had purchased and pulled a comparable Ascent for us to try out. He walked us through the key differences, encouraged both of us to drive, and made sure we felt confident in our choice. What really stood out was how personable he was—not just with us, but with our little one too. Our 2-year-old quickly warmed up to him, and Miguel even remembered our dogs from our first test drive years ago. His thoughtful, tailored approach made us feel valued and understood. Although we’ve since moved out of the city, we happily made the drive back because of the trust and comfort Miguel brings to the car-buying experience. He’s the reason we’ll keep coming back.

Chris Tyminski did an excellent job working with me to find the best vehicle to meet my needs. The car had to accommodate a walker without collapsing, have auto tail gate and be within my price range contemplating my trade in. Very very pleased with the 25 Subaru Forester I bought!! Subsequently I returned to Putnam for a quick rundown of the features. Ricardo Villanueva patiently walked me through the many features. My first Subaru so it took a while! Ricardo is terrific answering all questions. Couldn't be happier. My son has been a very satisfied Subaru owner for many years. And now I am, too.

Miguel is truly amazing. Very friendly, aaccomodating and knowledgeable. He made our buying experience so smooth and without pressure at all. We will definitely purchase our next Subaru with him and so as our friends and families.

I went in for a test drive for the 2025 Subaru Outback and was greeted instantly in the showroom by Nelson and team. I went on a seamless test drive with Aung. He is personable and friendly. No pressure to buy the car. I let him know that I will talk it over with my wife and when in the market. I will definitely be back for my next vehicle purchase. Nelson and Aung made me feel right at home. You can tell they care about their customers.
