Outstanding professional friendly dealership. From sales (Chris Smith) financing (Tim Hanson) to service (Dan Ford). This team can't beat. We will be back there for our next vehicle.

It was a pleasant, friendly experience with a staff that went out of their way to help me learn the vehicle and EARN loyalty. Lots of cars later, I have only one other time where I genuinely felt valued -- until now. Tucson Subaru wants to be in business 40 years from now and it shows. Everything is done with an eye toward making loyalty. The dealership won't have the "most add-on sales," or win any awards for additional accessories ordered, but it will have people returning again and again when it comes time to purchase another car for themselves or their children.

Best car buying experience ever! This was an internet purchase followed up with a few phonecalls. Chris is a no nonsense sales person who understood my needs. He made this purchase a This was an internet purchase followed up with a few phonecalls. Chris is a no nonsense sales person who understood my needs. He made this purchase a pleasant experience along with Traci, the finance person, who did her job in little time. Between the time I arrived at the dealership and the time I left was an hour. Promises made, promises kept, this is what a car buying experience should be like. I suggest other dealerships learn from this and use it as a benchmark. ~Claude Burgin More

quick and easy Tucson Subaru offered me a pleasant experience. We were able to come in and pick up the car in less than an hour and a half. The staff was friendly an Tucson Subaru offered me a pleasant experience. We were able to come in and pick up the car in less than an hour and a half. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I would have given this review 5 stars but they did not offer us a free sunshade like another dealer was willing to do, but the staff was A LOT better than that other dealership. Anyways I am so happy with my experience. Tucson Subaru had a wonderful kids room for my 2 year old son. More

A very pleasant "No Hassle" car buying experience. My wife and I have owned Subaru's in the past and have had good experiences with those cars. But my current car was 13 years old and so it was time to My wife and I have owned Subaru's in the past and have had good experiences with those cars. But my current car was 13 years old and so it was time to make a purchase. Chris Smith at Tucson Subaru was extremely professional, not pushy at all and answered all my questions. He let me check out the car so I could show my wife at work and we came back down with it and completed the transaction seamlessly. Being in sales myself I can definitely recognize the signs of a good sales person, one who let's you come to your own decisions based on information without overselling. Our finance person at Tucson Subaru did a very nice job as well. I love the car and am delighted with the experience. More

He arranged to let me take the car for an overnight test drive so that I could get to know the car better. Didn't have to do that, but impressed that he went that extra mile. More
