About 2 years ago my husband and I purchased a used Subaru Forester (2015) after he hit a deer with his car. When it came time for me to purchase a new car, we knew we wanted another Subaru! We visited Waikem and received excellent service and attention from our salesman, Paris Ball! The process was smooth and easy - my only disappointment being that I couldnt leave with my #1 color choice. Paris was great about checking all over to see if he could find it and I think he felt as bad as I did! The dealership threw in a few perks at no charge to help make up for it. All in all, I am LOVING my 2021 Subaru Forester! Its a vehicle that I feel completely safe driving and know well have it for many, many years to come.

Just bought my first Subaru ! I had the best experience with Salesman Dan Auman. Everyone was welcoming from the first step in the door. I couldn’t of asked for a smoother transition. Stop in and see them today, you won’t regret it.

I purchased a used Subaru in May from this dealership. My salesman, Paris Ball, made the process super easy and gave me a great deal! They also helped me obtain my license plate since I was going to be out of state. A great business, the owner was also very friendly and helpful. This dealership was the best one I have been to while on my search for an Outback 3.6R. Highly recommend Paris and the dealership! Would buy from them again!

Marc Douglas made the experience of purchasing a car very easy and low-pressure. He was very knowledgeable of the vehicle, and he made sure to answer every question thoroughly. It was the best car-buying experience I have had.

We worked with Tim and he was great. He went out of his way to help us and give us the option to test drive a model that was very difficult to find. We ended up going in a different direction, but we highly recommend Tim to anyone looking.

I want to start this review by saying that my husband and I have not had a brand new vehicle since 1994. I had two previous Subaru’s and have wanted an Outback for a few years, but being newly retired and adjusting to a new budget, a new car was the last thing on our minds. An unfortunate accident changed all that. Thankfully, no one was injured but our Jeep was totaled. We were so not looking forward to all the sales pitches and price haggling and were ready to accept the fact that we may not be able to afford a new car and may need to just walk away.I knew our car mechanic had purchased two Subaru’s from Waikem and called him to recommend a sales representative. As it turned out, that rep had retired, and we were set up with Marc Douglas. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and we did not feel pressured at all. He took time in explaining all the features the Outback has to offer, answered all our questions, and best of all, it fit our budget. We drove our new car home that night. Talk about a stress-free acquisition. We would highly recommend Marc Douglas and Waikem Subaru.

My wife and I recently purchased her first Subaru (21 Forester premium) from Rick and the team at Waikem Subaru. Rick made the month long process very simple and straightforward! We had to order it as it was in transit from Subaru when we first came across the listing on their website. Couldnt have been more pleased with the process, from our emails with the internet sales manager to our first phone call to Rick to place the deposit, and a month later to our visit to the dealer to make our purchase! Rick was great at keeping us informed of our vehicles status and very accommodating as we had to make a bit of a drive (hour and a half one way) from where we live to the dealer. Jessica (the finance lady) was patient as ever and made the finance process simple and easy. We happily paid less than MSRP, which hardly seems the case anymore these days. Looking forward to working with Rick on the re-delivery service as he was willing to accommodate us again to avoid our having to drive an hour and a half back to the dealer! We would highly recommend working with the team at Waikem Subaru to anyone in the market for a Subaru vehicle!

I am originally from Stark County and now live in Charlotte, North Carolina. While home, I visited Waikem Subaru to research the Forester. Waikem staff, in particular Erik Bettinger, was very knowledgeable and helpful. He took his time to explain features, trim levels and allowed for a test drive knowing I would not be purchasing a vehicle in Ohio. Overall, Waikem Subaru staff was friendly, helpful and I would highly recommend this dealership.

I went to Waikem Subaru to look. I had read that they were one of the safest cars to drive, and at my older age, this was important. I also wanted a car that I could see out of without having to sit on a cushion. I explained to the salesman, Rick Spieth, an idea of what I wanted and he had me drive two different versions of the Subaru. There was no salesman pressure. I decided on the car, and then the features I wanted. My car was in transit, and as soon as it was available, I went to pick it up. Rick made sure that I understood the features of the car. He went over all the settings and made sure they were set where I wanted. He even offered to come to my house and set my garage door opener if my husband or I couldn’t get it set. All the staff at Waikem were friendly and knowledgeable. They even set me up an appointment to return to re-review all the features in a couple of weeks. Most dealers would just say thank you, take my money, shake my hand, and send me on the way. Not Waikem Subaru, And not Rick Spieth. I am totally impressed and will recommend him, and Waikem Subaru, to any of my friends Interested in an excellent, very safe, car.

What an experience! Every staff member we talked to even just in passing was so friendly and polite. We worked with Dennis Kryder and I got the car of my dreams! He made the whole process so smooth and simple, time flew while we were there and I was out there door on on the road in my new Forester before I knew it. I have always heard fantastic things about the Waikem family and Dennis and the rest of the staff exceeded all expectations and truly make the experience a pleasant and memorable one!

Purchased my first brand new car, which is also my first Subaru, from Dan last year. He was great. Since then, service has also been a good experience. Got my 6 and 12 month maintenance...and today they squeezed me into the evening to repair my tire when I got a flat. Free car wash tickets and good coffee when I wait is a great bonus!

The process was simple and they gave us a very fair price for our new Outback, as well as, our trade. We drove 2 hours and would go back to Waikem Subaru for any future needs. Highly recommend!

As a loyal Subaru owner, I was happy to upgrade my 2011 Forester (previously owned two Outbacks) to a 2021 new Forester. It was my first time leasing and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The staff was so knowledgeable and helpful, especially our sales associate Marc Douglas. I highly recommend Waikem Subaru for their quality vehicles, professionalism, and customer care and service.

I came into Waikem Subaru wanting to upgrade my previous vehicle to a new or certified used Subaru.Thorne Silvius worked with me while I was there and did everything he could to get me the best deal on my (new to me) 2019 Forester. Thorne personally checked over my car, and took the time to make sure it was sparkling before I drove away with it! I am incredibly pleased with the service I received here and am excited to have my first Subaru knowing that my vehicle is in great hands at Waikem!

I ended up getting a second lease through Waikem Subaru about a month ago and couldnt be happier! We ended up taking our previous lease over to see what our options would be to trade it back in early and upgrade or keep it through the end of the lease terms. The Waikem team worked with us to find the best option available to us for what we wanted. Our salesman, Paris Ball, was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout the experience, beginning to now. I wont say end because he continues to touch base even after our initial purchase. I appreciated the fact that he listened to what I wanted and at no time attempted to pressure me into anything I didnt want. I am very happy with the purchase of my new Outback and will continue doing business with Waikem Subaru!

I met with Dan Auman to test drive a Subaru Outback. I have been reading many reviews on different cars, trying to make the best decision on a car purchase. I was thinking about purchasing a new Outback,but ended up driving a 2020 Outback Touring model that had low miles on it. It was a joy to drive. I ended up purchasing it. The best part was Dan’s knowledge on how the display panel operated. Dan did a thorough job explaining the features of it in detail. He also showed me some other features I was unaware of, like to he windshield visor and how it slides to block the sun where needed. My car buying experience was much better than I anticipated.

I went to Waikem because my daughter had such a great experience getting her car a couple of years ago with them. I had pretty much picked out a car I was interested in on their website and made an appointment, I was introduced to Marc Douglas and he arranged for me to test drive a couple of cars including the one I picked online, answered all of my questions helped me get all of my stuff together for my financing and get my trade in taken care of. I did end up getting the one I originally picked online but it was a great experience. I did have a couple of issues and called Marc and he helped me out with them and everything was right as rain. I love my new to me car and Marc made the experience a good one. Thank you Waikem and Marc.

This was our first time at Waikem Subaru. My wife and I looked at a used Forester, hesitated and it sold. It was our intention to purchase a similar car from another dealer but stopped back at Waikem first and talked with Paris Ball. This young man was one of the most genuine and helpful salespeople I have ever encountered. Rather than purchasing a used Forester at the other dealership, we ended up walking out as owners of a new 2021 model. Waikem worked well with us and my wife insisted on buying from Paris- I did not disagree. This was a very smooth transaction and pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend giving Waikem Subaru a try if you are in the market.

I highly recommend Erik Bettinger of Waikem Subaru. He was very friendly, helpful, and professional. He was also very straightforward and honorable. When I met with him, he stood by everything that he had told me during our prior telephone conversation. I finalized a lease of my 2021 Subaru Impreza, including his assessment and fair valuation of my trade-in, within approximately one hour. When I picked up my Impreza, he spent much time acquainting me with the car. My Impreza is my first Subaru. I intend to return to Erik for my next Subaru, and to refer anyone looking for a great vehicle and great sales agent to him.

My husband and I just bought our first Subaru from Waikem Subaru earlier this week, a 2019 Subaru Forester Touring. We had a fantastic experience. Marc Douglas walked us through every step of the process. We werent quite sure which year or model we wanted. Luckily, Marc was extremely knowledgable about the differences between each model. We didnt feel any pressure in making our decision. Marc simply gave us all of the information we needed to make the right choice for us.Once we made our decision Marc was incredibly patient with us. Answering all of our questions. Before we left the lot he walked us through all of the basic controls of the car and even invited us back to help us set up all of the extra features. He was so warm and friendly. We definitely recommend Waikem Subaru and Marc Douglas specifically. We love our new Subaru! Thanks to the entire team for such a great experience!

On May 1st, I bought a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with the help of Dennis Kryder and Erik Bettinger. I cannot stress enough how nice these two gentlemen are and how honest and accommodating they were. I started this purchasing process 2,000 miles away and over the course of a week I was able to collect all the information I needed to make a confident purchase. When I flew in and went to see the car, it was in phenomenal shape for a great deal. Erik and Dennis definitely resonated the Subaru = Family mantra and by that I mean absolutely no gimmicks and no hassle. The drive off the lot price I was given over the phone was the one I paid when I drove that car home. Everyone I met was very nice and I couldnt be happier with the purchase. Its been almost two weeks since my purchase and Ive called Dennis a couple times to just ask some specific questions regarding different features in the car and he has been very helpful each time. Will gladly come back to Waikem Subaru to do business again for my next service. Lastly, without sounding too cliché, absolutely love my Subaru XTrek. These cars live up to all the hype.

I highly recommend buying a car from Waikem Subaru. Our sales person, Rick Spieth, is very professional, friendly and helpful. He worked with us all the way thru the sale. We traded our 2011 Subaru & I had a lot of questions & concerns because I really liked my 2011 car. I appreciate Ricks patience with me especially since my new car is all electronic and I have had to learn and remember everything including opening the doors & starting the car, ha ha. Waikem makes sure you are completely satisfied with your purchase also.My experience with the service department has always been very good, they evaluate what needs to be done & talk to you about it before working on the car.Everyone is friendly & does not pressure you into doing something your not comfortable with. In this day & age its good to have people you can trust.

From the start of my research to the buying process and now support after the purchase, Waikem subaru provides excellent service. I initially texted with Lexie who answered all of my questions. I felt like there was good follow up without added pressure. She was the best first contact rep in my entire new car researching process -- Subaru or otherwise. She also quoted me the best price of all the Ohio Subarus. When I was ready to make the trip from Youngstown, I worked with Erik via phone and text. He, too, answered all of my questions and confirmed the information Lexie had provided. He gave me detailed information about the potential buying process and even started some paperwork and processes that would expedite a potential purchase once I was there in person and had made my final decision. The day of my test drive (and ultimate purchase!) went smoothly from start to finish. Erik was extremely knowledgeable about the premium Forester from features to construction. Erik continues to troubleshoot my questions and provide support as I get acclimated to my new car. I am referring coworkers and family to this dealer. Thank you.

Marc Douglas was extremely helpful in getting my 19 year old daughter a car that we feel comfortable having her in. He listened well to our concerns, where we wanted to be payment wise, tolerated a very bored 8 year old, and delivered. Waikem was even able to get her financing without needing to use me as a co-signer despite her having no credit. When my husband and i find ourselves looking for a vehicle again we will be returning to do business with Marc and Waikem.

Shopped around Ohio for an Outback with low miles and one or two years old. Found one at Waikem and set up an appointment. The salesman, Erik Bettinger, called me before the wife and I made the 1.5-hour drive to test drive the Outback. During that phone call, it became clear to me that Eriks knowledge of Subaru autos was more than efficient. He answered several technical questions instantly, that other salesmen at other dealerships couldnt answer without a Ill check that out and get back to you, response. After the test drive, Erik wasnt pressuring to make the sale, but instead, wanted us to be sure this Outback was the one that fit our needs/wants. The additional Waikem staff we met during the entire purchasing process, was similar to Eriks professionalism and honest concern that we were satisfied with our Outback. We never felt like we were under attack when we walked through the door as one may feel at a mega dealership. Not one complaint and we plan to visit Waikem when were in the market for our next Subaru.

Definitely recommend working with Thorne at Waikem Subaru! Thorne went above and beyond to educate us on what Subaru has to offer and what vehicles might fit our needs. He accommodated our busy schedule and made sure he took care of all the details for us. It was really great to work with someone that is passionate about the brand he sells. Thorne seriously knows everything about the Subaru line-up (past nd present) and how he might help people find what works best for them. He wasnt just trying to sell you a car. Buying a vehicle can be a long tedious process, but working with Thorne made it easy. The experience really bonded us to Thorne and Waikem Subaru. If we need another Subaru, that will be the only place well go.

Went looking for a forester or an outback. Talked to Rick Spieth and he made me feel like getting a Subaru was the best idea I could of had. Ended up getting an Outback. Love it. Took it in to get the TST coating applied and when I picked it up noticed a problem with the application. Told Dustin Shahan the sales manager about it and he immediately made an appointment to get it fixed. Very professional and quick when I needed something done.

I would like to start off that I hate the car buying process. Its one of the few things in life that really stresses me out. That being said, this was the best experience Ive had purchasing a car. I found a car I liked online, the online sales rep for Waikem told me to see Bob Russell. Bob set me up with Marc Douglas. Marc showed me the car I was interested in. His first priority was to make sure that I like the vehicle. He didnt bring up money until I did. He just talked to me about the car, about Subaru as a company. There was nothing pushy or uncomfortable about the experience. I told them my budget, and they made the car fit. I definitely recommend seeing Marc Douglas at Waikem Subaru. Also we got some cool dog toys for Subaru Loves Pets month.

Dan Auman was wonderful to work with!Pros: I bought a beautiful used Subaru from a trustworthy salesman who would I would buy from a hundred times over!Cons: the 2 reasons this experience didnt get a 5 star rating: financing- I had asked to go through my hometown bank and was told that is who our financing was being set up through, but instead was sent through a different bank without disclosing. Secondly, I had been told the car went through a thorough inspection, but it needed the rotors replaced before the week was up. This is an expensive purchase for an already pricey SUV.

We were allowed 12,000 miles per year but ultimately put on a total of a little over 14,000 miles for the 3 1/2 years. As the time approached to turn in the car we decided on a used vehicle because in the end a lease is a waste of money. The manager at Waikem Subaru personally inspected our car when we came in back in December and told both my wife and I that we had built up $500.00 in equity in the vehicle. And he stated this in front of another employee. A couple of weeks later we had found her a decent used car and began the process of terminating our lease. When we brought the Forester back the same manager looked it over again and now stated that Subaru was going to buy the vehicle from us ( a vehicle we never owned) and we could expect a check in the mail for $200.00 (no longer the $500 in equity we had) he explained that if Subaru had not purchased the car back...we would have had a bill to pay of over $400.00. (Again..this was a car with a total of 14,000 miles. Essentially brand new.) And we would have owed money??? he stated it was because of a Dispersion fee. And when I asked what that was he said that Subaru charges to have an inspector come evaluate the car (which they never did...the manager did it right there.) And...it was also for acquiring the car back which would now be ....wait for it....auctioned off!!! really?? A 3 1/2 year old car is going to be auctioned?? I dont think so! This car will be put right back on the lot and sold used for almost full price. Fast forward to today when I call on the phone and asked about the check for $200 that HE said was coming in the mail and he blatantly lies to us and states he never said that and proceeds to do the usual car salesmen song and dance to try and explain why we were never getting money to begin with. I had him on speaker the whole time and you should have seen my wifes face when he said that.. I know what he said, she knows what he said but worst of all, he knows what he said the day we turned the car in. These people are con artists so stay as far away as possible. Cars today, properly maintained, will last well over 100,000 miles. There is no need to buy or lease new from these types of people when a good used car will last you years.

I had a wonderful experience getting my first new car. Dan Auman was curtious, well-spoken, and highly knowledgeable. Not only did he answer my questions, but he went above and beyond in assisting me with getting the perfect car for my budget and preferences. Thank you, Waikem Subaru for my sweet new ride!

I can’t say enough good things about how amazing and helpful the entire staff at Waikem Subaru has been. Marc Douglas was patient, kind and thorough, but not pushy Thank you for being so kind and understanding and making the process so easy for my daughter. I would recommend any of my family or friends to stop in and buy a car from you. Erik Bettinger, even though you were not my daughters actual sales rep, you treated her as though you were and followed up just the same. What an amazing team this dealership has working for them!

Great car, good price, awesome experience. Thorne Silvius should be the sales consultant that you ask for when you visit Waikem Subaru. He made sure that I had a great experience from initial visit to the test drive to taking delivery. Thank you Waikem’s and Thorne!

We bought a car from Thorne Silvius on Tuesday 09/29 and he was fantastic! He worked with us to find the car that worked for us and made sure that we were completely informed through the entire process. Not only that, but he went ABOVE and beyond to call us to update on the status of our car, where it was, and answered every question we had. If you are going to buy a car, buy it from Thorne! Hes a car enthusiast and can answer any of your questions!

Waikem Subaru is the place you want to buy your car!! Bobs staff provided nothing less than 5 star Service! Marc Douglas found the perfect car for me! He really took his time and made sure I was comfortable with my purchas. Craig handled my financing and made sure it was a smooth & painfree process. He made sure to go over everything with me. Marc made a customer for life. My family and I will be sure to be back just for him!!!

Marc Douglas made buying our new Outback a fun experience. Car shopping can be hit or miss but it was great. 0% pressure, 100% information. He took as much time as was needed to ensure we had the right model that suited our needs and to complete the process. He double and triple checked that we had everything we needed and knew everything we need to know before we left. The financing department took care of everything very efficiently. Will definitely come back.

I had been looking to replace my 2001 Toyota Rav4 for some time. My husband and I met with Dan Auman, whom my husband had leased his CrossTrek from, and spoke with him about my budget and what I was looking for. It took some time, but Dan finally found the car (Subaru Forester) that I eventually bought and I couldnt be happier.

Went with all intentions of leaving with a 2017 outback, arrived to not be greeted or approached after walking the lot for 10 minutes. Had to find someone to get a sales man. I asked for a appraisal of my current car. He had a terrible attitude and just gave off a complete vibe of not wanting to help us, so I left unsatisfied and decided to shop around for a better dealership who wants me business during a pandemic!EDIT: I fully recommend anyone looking to buy a new or used Subaru to go visit Kim at Huebners in Carrollton! She was amazing and was extremely helpful from the moment I walked onto the lot! Definitely not the kind of service you will find at Waikem!

Bought my first Subaru last week from a wonderful salesman Marc Douglas. My wife and I had planned on looking at three other (non Subaru) cars at another lot. Our GPS took us to Waikem Subaru in Massillon, OH. Marc quickly realized we were in the wrong location. With an hour before close Marc jumped right in to help us solve our needs. He was not your stereotypical car salesman. He was not pushy or over bearing with his sales pitch. He was knowledgeable and spoke from his own experiences of owning a Subaru. From the minute we walked in we felt welcomed. Everyone was super friendly and courteous from beginning to end. I have already spread the word of the level of service we received and would most definitely return in the future for another car purchase. The Forester is an amazing car so far and it is all thanks to Marc for working with us to make this happen. Thank you Marc. I truly hope your higher ups recognize you for being a great salesman.

Ive been a Honda girl for life. I was debating between a Honda and a Subaru, but Marc Douglas was recommended to me as a no pressure, helpful sales person, so I started at Subaru (plus I know Subaru helps homeless animals and thats important to me too). Marc was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. He took his time with me and worked hard to meet my budget. Bob, the manager, was also extremely helpful in helping me get the car I wanted and a payment I could afford.

I drove to this location straight from work. My car was NOT OK and I have been wanting something better in inclement weather. This is mostly about the salesman, Marc Douglas. From the start he was quite understanding to my situation. He worked with me and really did go above and beyond. Because I had gotten in late it was just after closing that I was leaving with the keys. Marc had suggested that I leave my junk car their so I didnt have to wake up my daughter in the middle of the night to go get it. He also took the time to place my floor seats in the correct spots and tire shine the tires before pulling it around. Not only that, but, he also sat with my while I installed the carseat. He didnt have to do all of those things. He didnt even have to pull the car to the back of the lot for me. The staff in general was nice, but Marc was exceptional.Also, he called one or two days later just to check up on me and the car to see how it was going. Never had that happen after buying a car either.Thank you!
