Consumer Comments for Walker's Renton Subaru

I took my car in because, when it rained, the drivers’s side floor would flood. I noted that I also had a problem with one side of the window wiper not working and, although I knew that plugging of that line could lead to water inside the car, I had not used the windshield wipers in some time, and that after it rained, the floor was wet. After having the car all day, and me having to call repeatedly for an update, I was told that the windshield wiper problem had been fixed and I could pick up the car. Since that would not address the rain in the cabin problem, they backed up to say they would check that again, but they should know the status by mid afternoon and they would call to confirm it was ready for pick-up. I had to call several times to confirm the pick-up time, and although promised I would receive a call back, never received a call. No car overnight, requiring me to change my plans. The following day, I called again when I could get the car, and did not receive a call back until I reached them the following afternoon. The resulting price for the work done was twice what I was quoted (“oh, that estimator is no longer with the company”). Very sloppy communications and uncertain costs! This is unfortunate, because their service and staff in the past has always been adequate to good, albeit they are kinda pricey, since they are a dealership.

Buyer beware. They charge 3% for using credit card and do not disclose this until you are ready to pay.

EV Repairs: Are All-Electric Vehicles Reliable? Where Will Owners Get Repairs?

The shift to EVs will affect our choice of vehicles and the way people drive. But in the long term, the way owners get them serviced and repaired will be similar to the way things currently are for gas-engine cars. And EVs will need repairs: So far, most new models aren’t very reliable.
