Premier recognized by SOA for giving back to the Community

                 

                      Subaru of America recently recognized Premier Subaru for its philanthropy and community activities. Premier Subaru has always been a sponsor of many charitable organizations, including the American Red Cross, Christian Community of Action in New Haven, The University of New Haven, The University of Rhode Island, Jane Doe No More, Inc., Friends of Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital, Women and Family Life Center of Guilford, The Child and Family Guidance Center of Bridgeport, and the highly acclaimed Branford Jazz on the Green Series during the summer.  Premier Subaru's president/general manager, Robert Alvine, is also on the board of the Better Business Bureau as well as Jane Doe No More, Inc.
             

KIA honored with Good Design is Good Business Award

                 
         The Kia Motors America corporate offices in Irvine, California, has been honored with the Good Design is Good Business Award by Architectural Record.  In it's 15 year, the award celebrates architecture as a vehicle to enhance the company's bottom line and the architect/client collaborations responsible for them that prioritize quality of life, community outreach and sustainability to achieve their goals.  The May issue ofArchitectural Record will feature the Kia campus in Irvine.  
                                                 Kia Motors America's philosophy is also evident in the vehicles that they create, which include the building of Kia's two best-selling vehicles in the U.S. - the Optima and the Sorento - in their plant in West Point, Georgia.
                 
Protect your Car with Auto Armor!                     
                             The Auto Armor is an appearance protection package that comes with a warranty for 7 years.  We apply a paint sealant that guarantees the car against any paint damage due to acid rain, paint overspray, road tar, mosquitoes, tree sap, bird droppings, and pretty much anything else you can think of. The inside is also treated with a stain protection for the leather, dash, doors, carpets, etc.
             
               
        The company provides full repair or replacement, which means that if you get a stain on the leather or cloth seat, from spilling or dropping anything from coffee to bleach, that can't be fixed, they give you a brand new seat cover. Same goes for the exterior. We've had customers that have gotten the hood on their Outback re-painted free of charge.
               
               
        There is no limit to how often you can use it, and you also get rips, tears and burns included. That covers things like if you are loading a ladder in the car and rip the seat or if your dogs punctures the seat with its claws. They also fix those for free.                   
                 
        This program is also very affordable; in fact, the cost translates to less than $1.25 per week for the 7 years worth of coverage. And if you have the product reapplied after the 7 years, you could be covered for the vehicle's lifetime. It's a no brainer if you ask me!
                 
                 
               
               
        A special thanks to Certified Subaru Sales Consultant, Jeff Irzyk, for the information.

Notes from Happy Customers!

Now you can post your positive review to our page onDealerrater.com!  Here are two examples:
             
             
        I've been using this dealership for 5 years, and just bought my 2nd Subaru from them. All of the employees, literally, are friendly, respectful, genuine, non-pushy, informative, and eager to help. I know Bob best, but the service department is just what it should be: the best service humanly possible, and that's what makes this particular dealership an easy 5 (out of 5) for me. The product sells itself: it's the service that puts Premier on the top shelf!
                 
                                         This dealership was awesome. The place didn't feel creepy or pushy like most dealerships do. I dealt with Herman, who was super helpful - he made the whole process very smooth. Thanks, Herman!
                               
             
Here is another great experience as told by a Kia Customer!
             
             
        What a pleasureable experience I had purchasing my Kia from your new Kia dealership. I made the trip from Orange based on your inventory and sales prices.  I couldn't believe the prices listed on the green tags were actually real.  
             

        I met with Steven Nierenberg who was very professional, pleasant and responsive throughout the process; he listened to what my goals and objectives were, and at no point did he ever pressure me or try to steer me to an alternate deal that benefitted him but to my disliking.  He also gave me a thorough presentation of the new car and its features upon delivery, and then followed-up with me after delivery to ensure things were going well with the car.

             

        Prior to my realization that he was the Sales Manager, Stan and I were talking about the auto industry as two enthusiasts just chatting.  He doesn't hide behind his desk as the manager at the other dealership did.  I observed him engaging all of the customers in a very warm and friendly manner as he did with me.  He also did not try to steer me to an undesirable deal that was to the dealership's benefit in place of my own goals/objectives; to the contrary actually, as he put me in a car I didn't think I could even afford!  I walked out of there one happy camper that day!  I really enjoyed interacting with him throughout the process.  

             
        Also, the finance manager was very pleasant and friendly (during) the brief interaction we had signing documents the day of delivery; I even had a similar experience over the phone interacting with the parts department (I purchased an accessory prior to pick-up).
             
             
        I will recommend your dealer to anyone looking for a Kia.
