Well-Maintained RAV4 with low miles I appreciated being able to make the appointment with Chris Smith by text and update as needed. Low pressure environment. Able to test drive vehicl I appreciated being able to make the appointment with Chris Smith by text and update as needed. Low pressure environment. Able to test drive vehicle and close the deal the same day. I appreciated the high level of transparency, i.e., disclosure of vehicle maintenance and upgrades (like new tires) provided. And the oil change service for a year was an unexpected bonus. PS Comfortable and well stocked lounge area for waiting clients. More

Wonderful shopping experience My car was in the shop at another dealer and was too expensive to repair, so I had to buy a car fairly quickly. Having done months of research previou My car was in the shop at another dealer and was too expensive to repair, so I had to buy a car fairly quickly. Having done months of research previously and narrowing it down to three SUV's, I had already test driven the other two, I decided to look at the Forester. I contacted Chris Smith thru the internet and arranged a test drive. He had all the info on the car ready. He very thoroughly explained all the features of the vehicle before and during the test drive, probably better than any dealer I'd ever dealt with. I was very impressed with the many safety and electronic features and the handling of the Forester and with Chris, who made the whole experience very easy and pleasant. He also arranged for transportation of my old car from the other dealer to Subaru to trade in and stayed to help transfer my stuff into the new car. He also introduced me to members from the other departments I would deal with. All in all, an easy, low pressure shopping experience. More

Highly Recommended! Just purchased the 2019 Forester today and I could not have asked for a better experience. Chris patiently answered the numerous emails I had sent him Just purchased the 2019 Forester today and I could not have asked for a better experience. Chris patiently answered the numerous emails I had sent him from the very beginning in a professional and friendly manner, even I did not prove that I would buy a car in the end. Moreover, I appreciate the fact that Chris completely cut the bs in the sales game and replied my inquiries with succinct and straightforward answers, unlike what I have experienced at other dealerships. Also, Curt was very helpful and not pushy during the paper-signing process. Shout out to both Chris and Curt for the fantastic experience! More
