Carlos knows his cars inside/out, Kevin made the business transaction seamless, and Paul (as always) made the deal easy. A great product sells itself, but these guys make it seem like you're family. The best of the best. More

He was especially concerned with my wants in an automobile and made each step easy. When it came time to purchase we were introduced to the Sales Manager Paul Holden. Paul also is a very likeable individual. I felt very comfortable conversing with Paul, we both like old cars! He assured us that we only had to call if anything ever comes up. The financing package was excellent and Riley Silvia knows her business. She was extremely helpful with selecting extended coverage and finish protection. Again she was instantly likeable and friendly. I would recommend visiting this dealership if you are interested in a new or quality used car. Secor Subaru prides itself on complete customer satisfaction . The salesroom was clean and bright and inviting. If a Subaru new or used is in your mind you owe it to yourself to visit this excellent dealership. You will not be disappointed... They won't hear of it! More

Yet another story of a great buying experience! My 2017 Outback is the 3rd Subaru I’ve bought from Secor since 2009. In over 50 years of buying cars, I’ve never bought from the same dealer 3 times, My 2017 Outback is the 3rd Subaru I’ve bought from Secor since 2009. In over 50 years of buying cars, I’ve never bought from the same dealer 3 times, and I have 4 Subaru dealers within 20 miles of my home to choose from. I keep going back to Secor because they offer great cars at great prices, they are eager to find you the right car if it’s not on their lot, and they don’t play games during the buying process. Emily Mara was my salesperson for my 2016 Crosstrek and 2017 Outback. She embodies all the good things I could say about Secor. I’ve always felt respected as a person first and foremost, I’ve never felt pressured to do anything, and our dealings have been courteous, friendly and professional. Emily has always acted as a very well informed advisor and has never made me feel like she was “selling”. It’s easy for me to say positive positive things about Secor, not because Secor people boast about them. It’s because I discovered them myself in my initial dealings with Secor in 2009 and I’ve seen them reinforced in all my dealings since then. They’ve never told me that their prices are the best anywhere. I’ve used TrueCar, and Consumer Reports, KBB and Edmunds to determine that. It seems to me that Secor’s business philosophy is simple: offer great products at fair and reasonable prices; treat people with respect and honesty; don’t tell people how good you are, just keep doing the right thing over and over and let them discover how good you are for themselves.

It's been a pure Joy ! Emily assisted me in purchasing my Subaru Legacy in January 2016. I genuinely cannot imagine the experience could have been any better. I never felt l Emily assisted me in purchasing my Subaru Legacy in January 2016. I genuinely cannot imagine the experience could have been any better. I never felt like I was being sold anything. My experience was she was truly a consultant and advisor to guide & assist me in the selection of a car, it's features and financing. In my experiences those words were true descriptors of Emily's focus and professionalism and not simply a come on euphemism I've too frequently encountered elsewhere. Her service has continued past the sale right up to the present. She continues to assist as advisor and advocate for all of my needs. I can't imagine ever buying a car from anyone else. Plus. The car makes me happy every day. I truly do love my Subaru. Secor as a dealership has been the ideal complement to Emily's service. Every department, finance, general management, parts and service and the body shop have continued all of the service I and my car have needed. I have always felt seem, respected and cared for. Yes, truly a total Joy ! More

Service has a We have been going to Secor Subaru for sales and service for 15+ years with no issues at all. Sales has never been pushy on us to buy. Service has always been top notch and the service managers take the time to explain things to you AND if your a gearhead, even the techs will come out to discuss it ! My wife feels comfortable with them I do recommend calling for appointments two weeks ahead, so that you get the service time you need to fit your schedule. More

Evert Dalhquist, GREAT SECOR SUBARU Salesman SECOR SUBARU shatters the ceiling for top customer relationships. It's apparent the team is an internal family with years of employment and loyalty. SECOR SUBARU shatters the ceiling for top customer relationships. It's apparent the team is an internal family with years of employment and loyalty. Every one is welcomed with personal attention and honest professionalism by the office, sales and service team. I bought my wonderful Outback a year ago after decades later of four models from another famous American brand, who couldn't offer my new vehicle objectives. Evert Dahlquist recommended exciting and cost effective features to match my personal driving needs. He and the SECOR team were extra generous in their package while patiently waiting to place my order until my existing car lease expired. Evert extends his personal touch to assure every deal exceeds customer expections. The rest of the SECOR team efficiently processed all paperwork for him and service has been extremely attentive to any particular issues. Besides this customer care, SECOR has long standing reputation for extraordinary community charitable support. I have convinced others who purchased vehicles from Evert. More

Once again a breath of fresh air as this is our second Subaru, first purchase in 2014 (Outback) and our second purchase in 2017 (Legacy). Mr. Peter Harsh thank you so much for answering all of my questions honestly, and taking the time with me to drive several of your Subaru’s over two days, making that process enjoyable and most of all a learning experience, your knowledge of each any every aspect of the vehicles design to their operating characteristics was layman in this world of fast moving technology.
