Easy Experience! Tucson Subaru was an excellent group to work with as I searched, researched and finally decided on my "new to me" car! Everyone at the dealership was Tucson Subaru was an excellent group to work with as I searched, researched and finally decided on my "new to me" car! Everyone at the dealership was friendly, even people I had no interaction with greeted me each time (I visited four different times all together!) and were smiling and seemed to genuinely enjoy their work. The process of narrowing down to the right vehicle and the sales process were easy as well - the Internet team (Chris Smith!) and Spence Bilbo in sales treated me well and with respect, answered all my questions and were patient as I wanted to know and understand the differences in the vehicles I considered. Traci Roberts was professional and courteous in wrapping up the final paperwork and helping to finish the sales transaction easily and in a friendly way. I recommend Tucson Subaru without hesitation.

2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 Purchase Tucson Subaru is a very nice dealership, with very friendly employees. Chris Smith was a very personable salesman. Danette was very helpful at the f Tucson Subaru is a very nice dealership, with very friendly employees. Chris Smith was a very personable salesman. Danette was very helpful at the front desk. And Tracy was very thorough in explaining all the paperwork. They were busy the day I purchased so I had to wait a while, but they did have coffee and cookies available. Good overall experience. More

New car shopping could not be easier! We had been cosidering purchasing a Subaru Forester for two years and had looked at a couple of other similarly priced top quality SUV automobiles. Ad We had been cosidering purchasing a Subaru Forester for two years and had looked at a couple of other similarly priced top quality SUV automobiles. Additionally, we had contacted a couple of other Subaru dealers. We had heard many positive comments about the Costco purchasing plan we wanted to use but had yet to experience it. Then Chris Smith of Tucson Subaru called us, explained the process, and we knew we had found the right combination of friendly salesperson and upfront Costco pricing. More

Customer service is key Because of a not so great experience with a sales manager at a Subaru dealer in the Phoenix area, I contacted Subaru of Tucson. From the very first em Because of a not so great experience with a sales manager at a Subaru dealer in the Phoenix area, I contacted Subaru of Tucson. From the very first email and text message Chris Smith provided excellent customer service. Curt McHenry made the finance portion of buying a car as painless and quick as possible. It was worth the drive and extra time. More

Tucson Subaru--the staff is all-around EXCELLENT I wrote a review as soon as I got home with my new Crosstrek on Saturday. It must have been too long for the site, or i pushed a fatal backspace somew I wrote a review as soon as I got home with my new Crosstrek on Saturday. It must have been too long for the site, or i pushed a fatal backspace somewhere, because the first 2 "pages" were lost in the electronic wasteland. But this missing part is just as important as the great car: Chris Smith (internet sales) gave me an excellent price on my 2018 Crosstrek. He walked me through the whole process after he put me into exactly the car I wanted. He listened. He explained terms clearly. I knew more.about operating my vehicle after a show-and-tell session in my Crosstrek than ever after any other car-buying experience. It didn't feel like a standard sales talk. It seemed like he was as happy to show me all the wonderful features as i was to learn about them. He introduced me to other people who would help during the process. (Jennifer Duran, Finance mgr., was especially helpful taking me through the financial paperwork. She also explained the excellent options available to protect the investment I was making.) When i commented that it was such a good car-buying experience at Tucson Subaru, i was told that the staff there wants customers happy so that everybody feels good when they meet again during a future visit for service, etc. And Chris Smith put the icing on the icing on the cake with me when he handed me a dozen red roses to celebrate the event. I first experienced Tucson Subaru through the kindness of Jade Hilliard and the folks in the Service Dept. during a pre-move visit to Tucson back in November. They gave me a safety check on my 2015 Impreza (wonderful car in its own right) that was above and beyond the norm. I felt perfectly secure on my trip back to Northern CA to finish selling my house, pack and drive back to Tucson. Great people, great service, a product to be proud to sell to people--like I said at the top: Tucson Subaru is all-around EXCELLENT ! More like 10 Stars from me. See you all again, I'm sure. --Gayle More
