About Lancer McMinis
Lancer McMinis
I was raised in Garner, North Carolina and attended East Carolina U. in Greenville. In 1995, we moved to Wells, ME where I live with my wife Kelly and three children; Bennie, Brycem, and Ruby-Jean. You can find me on my 2004 Harley-Davidson Soft-Tail Deuce, and am a founding member of the Patriot Riders of Maine, an organization to help Vets, Military and local Fire, Police & EMS and more. I have been a member of the Wells Fire Department. I hunt, fish and do almost anything out doors with my children. I've been in the car business now for 10 years, and joined Patriot in 2011. I believe in what I learned through Dale Carnegie - treat people with respect and help them succeed, and good things will happen for everyone.

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
I have had the pleasure of being a Patriot Subaru customer for almost 3 years now. My first visit I was in need of an affordable car that wasn't bad on the eyes and left with a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta. It was pre-owned with very low mileage and was just what I needed at the time. Patriot has an excellent service department and despite my vehicle's make they always had the special oil filters and whatever else was needed to service my Volkswagen throughout my years of ownership (which I really appreciated!). On top of that, when I arrived for my Jetta's first oil change they even had my CD Visor Case waiting for me that I had forgotten in my trade-in! Eventually, the woes of living on a hill were making me wish I had a Subaru more and more with each Nor'easter that hit. When I was finally in the position to trade in the Jetta for my own Subaru I felt like the whole dealership was working to get me into the car of my dreams. The positive energy in the showroom is contagious and comforting, and as a customer it was easy to trust that my salesperson, Dan Walker, and the finance manager, Dave (Lancer was extremely helpful too!), had nothing but my best interest in mind. Searching for and purchasing a new vehicle can be quite stressful, but the atmosphere at Patriot Subaru is not like other dealers, and I felt very confident in my purchase and in knowing that I got the very best deal out there. I hope to have my 2012 Subaru Impreza for a long time, but if I purchase another vehicle you can bet it will be from Patriot Subaru because they simply have the best service and value out there. I mean, where else can you bring your car in for an oil change and have it done in just about a half hour with all fluids topped off and freshly washed?! For me it's a no-brainer when it comes to sales and service Patriot has earned another loyal customer (and I know I'm just one of many)!

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
I went to Patriot Subaru at the recommendation of a friend. I had visited another Subaru dealership the day before and got the same old "what do I have to do to get you in this car today" routine after telling the salesman I wasn't buying that day. Then I got an offer of $300 bucks off the sticker to which I asked the salesman if he was kidding. Then I got a visit from the manager who came out with the invoice and told me that was his "cost". I asked him what about the dealer holdback and suddenly he found another $2000 he could give me off the sticker. I left that dealership knowing I would not be back. After my friend told me about Patriot Subaru I went to their website and got their internet price. It was significantly better than the other dealer. I thought there had to be a catch. I went to Patriot Subaru and met with Doug in sales, drove the car, told him I wanted it, he wrote up the deal and I wrote a check for the car. WHAT A CONCEPT!!! An honest, straight forward deal. No catches. Doug was great to deal with as was everyone else I met while I was there including Jackie, the internet manager and Lancer, who did all of the necessary paperwork with me. They were very busy the day I went in to buy, and I can understand why. I've bought many new cars over the years, and I have never had a more pleasant, stress free buying experience.

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
I compared at least 5 dealers before I went with Jackie Parker of Patriot Subaru. She had provided the most comprehensive information for the 2012 Subaru Outback I was interested in, helped me get a great financing rate and converted my skeptic husband to a big fan! Lance McMinis was very gracious and knowledgeable as well. If you're looking for the best deals and a stress free buying experience - go with Patriot Subaru!

My Review of Patriot Subaru:
My experience at Patriot Subaru was nothing less than fantastic! The staff (Jackie Parker, Corey Createau, Lonny Martin and Lancer McMinis) were very friendly, honest and worked hard to find the car I liked and a price I could afford. I would strongly recommend Patriot Subaru to anyone looking into buying a new or pre-owned Subaru.
