Painless and reasonable New motors is genuinely a dealership that will give you a fair deal. Stephen Kolenda was extremely helpful in getting my wife and I the right car. Th New motors is genuinely a dealership that will give you a fair deal. Stephen Kolenda was extremely helpful in getting my wife and I the right car. The Legacy we bought needed new tires and was negotiated into the deal for free. Small things like that are hard to get from a dealership anymore. It's good to know there is a dealer out there concerned about your well being from the moment you leave the lot. Working with Stephen in the past was easy. Nothing has changed. Still a stressless process. More

Professional and honest. The employees at New Motors Subaru greeted with me with a warm smile and handshake as soon as I entered the door of the dealership. Professionalism The employees at New Motors Subaru greeted with me with a warm smile and handshake as soon as I entered the door of the dealership. Professionalism was quite obvious and every effort was made to make the process as simple and painless as possible. The walk around of the vehicle, test drive and explanation of the finance process was clear and concise. I felt comfortable and confident that the salesman was not going to give me a run around. He even took the time to get to know more about me and my interests. I would highly recommend New Motors Subaru to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. More

I was very pleased with my experience. I was in immediate need of a winter reliable auto and thought that a Subaru Outback or Forester was what I wanted. I went to New Motors to "window sh I was in immediate need of a winter reliable auto and thought that a Subaru Outback or Forester was what I wanted. I went to New Motors to "window shop" on Wednesday afternoon knowing that a significant snowstorm was forecast for Thursday. Steve Kolenda met me as I arrived and was very helpful in showing me the vehicles that were available in my affordable range. He asked me some very pertinent questions that led to 2 possibilities. He allowed me to test drive both and asked if I was ready to make a decision. I explained that I wanted to think about it overnight and read some information about both. He provided me with the information and said that he had the next day (Thursday) off but would call me on Friday to see what I had decided. After reading the information at home on Wednesday night, I decided that I wanted the Outback and really wanted to pick it up before the storm came in. I called Steve on Thursday morning and asked if it would be at all possible for me to get the car that day. He agreed to come into work on his day off and have the car ready for me to buy and pick up early that afternoon. I really appreciated having an AWD Subaru to drive through the storm back home. He called again on Friday to see how I liked my AWD Subaru and how it handled in the snow. I was really happy with it and I still am. I am also very happy with the way Steve took care of my automotive needs. He is a very thoughtful and kind person. More
