Cameron was awesome! I came in just to test drive some cars and get some information, but had no intention of buying anything. I expected to have a deal with a bunch of sales pressure, but I got absolutely none of that. Cameron was super helpful and knowledgeable and spent as much time as needed to get my questions answered. He just truly loves cars, which is exactly the kind of cars salesman you want. Thank you!

Wonderful car buying experience! Cameron was our salesperson and he was wonderful. Courteous and knowledgeable, just a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly patient, took the time to explain and teach us all the features of the car we ended up with. We never felt rushed and he was such a great help in guiding us in the right direction. Gave us options and recommendations that took our needs into consideration. Never pushed just to make the sale, but found us the car that was perfect for our needs. Desmond, in finance department, was equally helpful. Will definitely do business with these great professionals again.

I recently bought a car with Cameron and he was super helpful. He contacted me from his personal number whenever there was a vehicle that fit my needs. I ended up finding the exact model in the price range I wanted. I am very pleased with their service. Would highly recommend!

Jim Adams helped me out a great deal buying my old 2004 Nissan Frontier. He was fast, easy to communicate with, and could not have made it easier. I was in and out in 20 mins and he arranged a ride home for me. Thank you, Jim!

If you’re going to buy a Subaru, go to Carter Subaru in Shoreline WA and ask for Mary. I just bought a drop dead gorgeous certified used Subaru Outback Wilderness at Carter Subaru and Mary made the experience enjoyable and nearly effortless with her no-pressure, unassuming approach to sales combined with her comprehensive knowledge of Subaru cars. My 2015 Outback was nearing the point where it would require several thousand dollars of preventive maintenance, and worse for me it had become a stand-alone vehicle because the Starlink connected features were discontinued in 2022. I want to take some long distance road trips by myself, and I needed a car with modern connectivity. To add urgency to the situation, the wagon Outback design had been replaced with a boxier design that I hadn’t grown to like yet, and those new Outbacks are rather spendy. So, I saw a particular recent year Outback Wilderness newly listed at Carter Subaru and I knew it was the car for me. It was trending! I knew I had to get to Carter Subaru quickly, so I dropped everything and just hoped Mary was there when I arrived. We had already met in years past when I had test driven a Subaru Outback 3.6 one year, and a Subaru BRZ another. Thankfully she was there behind her desk with no clients! I reintroduced myself and said I was interested in the almost-new Outback Wilderness. We went on a test drive, and she had a route memorized that quickly allowed me to experience the car in the city and on the freeway. She answered all my questions about differences between my 2015 Outback and this Wilderness version. Since I was trading in a Subaru that had been maintained at this dealership for the past seven years, they had the history of that car, and after an inspection they made me a trade-in offer that I think fairly represented the value of the car given the amount of refurbishment work that would be required to make it sale ready. I was right in my original assessment that several thousand dollars of preventive maintenance would be due in the near future. Mary and I chatted while waiting for the backlog of people ahead of me to be processed by the finance department. She answered more questions for me and showed me where the free snacks were located. The beef sticks are good, and the coffee is more than drinkable. Skyler the finance guy made going through the paperwork as pleasant as possible. Skyler was very knowledgeable and transparent as he showed me various warranty and financing options. I bought the basic extended bumper-to-bumper warranty which I thought was a great deal considering the turbo and the sheer amount of computerized electronics on this car. Mary then answered a few more questions, and I was off for home with my nearly new Outback Wilderness. I didn’t wake up that morning thinking I’d have a new car by the end of the day, but Mary, the greatest car sales representative I’ve ever met, with Skyler’s help, made the car buying process about as close to fun as such a process can be.

Had a great experience here buying my car from James B as well as getting support on any follow-up questions from both James and Alexander K. Feel like I can ask either of them questions as they come up, which is great as there are a lot of new features I was unfamiliar with.....

We recently purchased a car at this location. What a great experience. Bini was wonderful to work with. We had to come after work and everything wasn’t completed until just after closing. He helped us throughout the whole process. So thankful we got to work with him.

I recently leased a car at Carter Subaru. Jim Adams helped me find the perfect car without the usual cars salesman pressure. He was patient, empathetic and willing to go the extra mile to help me out in making a big decision. Carter Subaru has been my go to dealership for over 10 years.

Worked with Jim to get my car sold as I'm moving abroad. He was great: did a thorough and timely inspection, made a fair offer for its value, and worked with me on date of sale to meet my needs in the final days before the flight. Overall it was a great experience, and I'd work with him and Carter Subaru again in the future if I still lived in the area!

Working with Bini at Carter Subaru Shoreline was hands-down the best car-buying experience I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in, Bini greeted me with genuine warmth and zero pressure—he listened intently to exactly what I needed in a Subaru without trying to upsell me into anything I didn’t want. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the lineup, patiently explaining features like EyeSight safety tech, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and the differences between models until I felt fully confident. What truly set him apart was his honesty and transparency. No hidden fees, no games with pricing, and no pushy tactics. He made what is usually a stressful process feel relaxed, straightforward, and even enjoyable. He took the time to ensure every question was answered, walked me through the paperwork carefully, and followed up after the sale to make sure I was thrilled with my new ride. Thanks to Bini, I drove off in the perfect Subaru that fits my life perfectly—and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and exceptional salesman who puts the customer first, go see Bini. He’s the real deal! 5 stars aren’t enough. V/r Marc

We have used them for service for our Outback for years and they always take great care of us. Reasonable wait times, loaner provided if not. Good snacks and coffee, and excellent customer care. We just upgraded our vehicle to a new outback and they worked with us to get us everything we wanted. We returned for our "delivery appointment" and Alex Kessler answered all our questions. He is a true expert on the vehicle and was wonderfully kind and sealed the deal on our experience. Absolutely love Subaru and will forever be loyal customers.

Worked with Biniamin (Binny) to trade in my old Outback and walk out with a Crosstreck. Binny was super helpful and informative through the process and made sure I got a good deal

Both the salesperson Bini, and his manager Danny were a lot of fun to interact with. It’s scary( but exciting )to make any big purchase like a new car, but when the folks at the dealership are delightful to work with, it brings the experience to a whole new level. And the car is just gorgeous; SO well made; just enough bells and whistles to have some great technology easily available without being overwhelming. I’m so thrilled to be driving the CrossTrek and I highly recommend Carter Subaru.

Alexander was not only kind but also genuine to work with through the whole process.

Recently purchased a used Outback, the process was pretty quick, very low pressure, and overall was the best car buying process I've ever had. We worked with Arturo particularly and appreciated that he let us take the lead on things. Would absolutely recommend this dealership to anyone who wants/needs to get a new car but is dreading the "typical" car buying process.

The salesperson I worked with Biniamin Tsegay was absolutely amazing. It felt like I was working on the whole process with a family member. He nor his manager pushed at all and were quite transparent and offered helpful advice throughout the whole process. I would recommend their service to anyone who was looking for a car.

2nd Subaru from Carter/Shoreline. Sales was great. The entire process went smoothly. The 2026 Forester is much quieter and smoother riding than the 2013 we traded in.
