I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in telecommunications-journalism. For many years I was a news reporter, producer, and anchor. I started out in college on radio working for both NPR and CBS News. After college, I made the switch to television working for both ABC and NBC, where I was part of a team that won numerous awards, including an Emmy. My next job brought me to Tucson, but I was feeling uneasy in journalism, and after a break, I decided to try my hand at car sales. I've been doing it ever since. It's fun, and I enjoy meeting all sorts of people and seeing all sorts of cool cars. I hope to meet you soon!

Excellent experience, Forester purchase I have been researching new cars for a while, and had narrowed it down to Subaru's Forester or Crosstrek, Toyota's Rav 4, and Honda's CRV. I had full I have been researching new cars for a while, and had narrowed it down to Subaru's Forester or Crosstrek, Toyota's Rav 4, and Honda's CRV. I had fully intended to purchase something used from a private seller because I had heard horror stories about dealerships. A close friend recommended that I go to Tucson Subaru because he and his wife had recently purchased an Outback from there. In his words, "Rocky runs a class act." So, being brave, I contacted the dealership through their website to set up an appointment. Kevin Gribble emailed me within a couple of hours to set something up for the following morning. Upon arriving at Tucson Subaru, I was impressed by how friendly everyone was. Kevin's first question wasn't "what kind of car are you interested in," but "What types of things are you looking for?" I told him that I was intrigued by the Crosstrek and Forester, and that I was looking for something I could easily take off road, with room for outdoor toys (I'm a rockclimber/backpacker), but also something that my mother, who's getting up there in years, would have an easier time getting into an out of. Kevin's immediate response was something to the effect of, "I think you're going to prefer the forester, but let's look at both." He did a wonderful job answering all of my questions and showing me both models. We took the Forester out for a test drive first. It was great. He suggested I also try the Crosstrek. Within a block of driving that model, I told him he was right. During both test drives, Kevin did an equally wonderful job explaining all of the features included with each model. At some point, we started talking about the CVT transmission. When I told him that I grew up working on cars, he transitioned from giving me a basic description to talking about, literally, the nuts and bolts of the CVT. Throughout the process, he was focused on what features I needed and would ultimately use, and I never once felt like he was pressuring me into purchasing a more expensive vehicle or option package. Traci Roberts was equally awesome to deal with on the financial side of things. She did a great job explaining different warranties, etc., and pointed out options that I likely would not need. She took time to ask me about my work, and we swapped entertaining war stories about our work in the criminal justice field. As I was leaving, I commented about how my experience with Tucson Subaru was not at all what I was expecting considering all of the dealership horror stories we hear about. Traci grinned and said something to the effect of, "Yeah, we try not to be "that" dealership, cuz it ain't as much fun as treating folks the right way." So, to sum it up, I would purchase another car from this dealership in a heartbeat. As yet, I've had no experience with their service department. However, if the folks there are anything like the folks on the other side of the house, I'm sure it will be an equally pleasant experience. More

Good customer service can go a long way We had recently had a negative interaction with this dealer but when this was brought to the attention of the management they took the time to listen We had recently had a negative interaction with this dealer but when this was brought to the attention of the management they took the time to listen and address all the concerns. They went over and beyond to not only fix the concerns but ensure that rest of the purchasing experience of our new family vehicle was wonderful. All businesses and employees can have goof ups at some point is how they chose to handle the situation once there is a problem that is identified. This dealer and specifically this company went over and beyond to address what was identified as a problem, to me that is what matters most. I would recommend this dealer and these employees. More
