  ****BUYERS BEWARE**** I never do this, but this was a very disappointing experience with Competition Subaru after purchasing February 19th 2026 a used Audi with only 5,000 miles. I originally believed the vehicle was in excellent condition, but it quickly became obvious the vehicle appears to have prior unrepaired or poorly repaired damage on the driver side. There are multiple signs of damage, the first sign was…

  the painters tape under the bumper, the the same tape on the passenger headlights duct, misaligned hood, including overspray on the black trim pieces, a cracked headlight, broken grill and even exposed bondo on the driver fender. The condition of the vehicle does not match the expectations I had when purchasing a low-mileage car from a dealership. I attempted to resolve this directly with the dealership before leaving this review. I contacted them to address my concerns and initially planned to bring the vehicle in for review, but I had to reschedule due to work obligations. On April 2nd 2026, I spoke directly with the used sales manager, Nelson, asking if coming in would lead to any reasonable resolution. Instead of attempting to help, he became dismissive, stated there was “nothing he could do,” said he was “not paying anything back,” accused me of potentially causing the damage myself, and then hung up the phone on me. When I asked about reviewing the original listing photos of the vehicle, he refused. After that, the salesperson Kyle stopped responding to my messages entirely. I would have appreciated transparency and professionalism instead of being dismissed. I understand used cars are often sold as-is, but customers still deserve honesty, accountability, and respectful communication when legitimate concerns are raised. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that anyone considering buying a vehicle from this dealership inspect it thoroughly and obtain an independent inspection before signing anything.

  Response from the owner · May 8, 2026: We are sorry to hear about this, but we typically handle these issues upon delivery of the vehicle or within a few days of doing so. If you would lie to discuss resolving this you can reach out General Sales Manager Nino at 631 361-4500.

  I had a wonderful experience with Competition Subaru when shopping for a new car over the past month and finally picked up my ascent yesterday. Jesse is by far the best sales associate I have ever dealt with when purchasing a car. He was incredibly knowledgable and made the buying experience easy and very fun. Jesse got me the exact car that I wanted and I couldn’t be happier. Mike Browne (the finance manager) was…

  equally as fun and easy to work with. Very knowledgable and made selecting my extended warranty an enjoyable process instead of a stressful one. From start to finish I had an ideal buying experience. Thank you Jesse and Mike!

  I’ve purchased a vehicle recently from Joe Giampietro as well as the past. Couldn’t find a nicer person who works with you to feel comfortable and happy with your experience. Had also referred friends who were interested to him to take care of. Worth your time and trip!

  4th vehicle just purchased! 3 Subarus and a Honda (first car for my daughter). Always a great experience. No pressure staff. Second Crosstrek! Jeff Barkan was awesome and Michael in finance got me an amazing loan rate.

  Mike help me with key bob issues. We cleaned the contacts and changed the batteries in both key bobs they were not working even with new batteries at first. This is not the first time Mike helped with difficulties and odd problems. Always a pleasure and caring person. They have helped keeping my Moms 2020 Forster running great. Thanks Andy.

  Response from the owner · August 9, 2026: Andrew, we truly appreciate your kind words and 5-star rating! We’re happy our Service Team at Competition Subaru of Smithtown was able to troubleshoot the key fob and find a solution. It’s wonderful that our team has consistently been there to help with the unexpected challenges. Thank you for trusting us with your Mom’s Subaru Forester!

  Competition made my car buying experience so easy! I met with Lisa on a Friday and test drove the car I ended up buying! Lisa was good about following up with me but was not in any way pushy or pressuring me. She helped me sort out several payment options before we settled on the right one for me. The sales manager Justin and finance manager Michael were both also really nice and did a great job breaking things down…

  for me. They got me a great interest rate on my purchase too! I absolutely love my new car!

  Response from the owner · April 21, 2026: Congratulations on your new vehicle, Rachel! We are excited to read about the easy and great car-buying experience you had with our Sales Team. Thank you for being a valued customer of Competition Subaru of Smithtown, and we look forward to your next visit.
