Born and raised in Arizona. My passion with cars started at a very young age, shadowing my grandfather in the collision industry. In high school I attended a program for aviation A&P Tech. After completing the program, I started working in the A&P world and realized my love for cars overpowered planes. Now having over 12+ years of mechanical experience my passion for vehicles has only grown. Outside of work I enjoy restoring my classic car and spending time with family. Owning my own Subaru, I am proud to be here to help you find your Subaru!

You cannot turn off the radio on a Subaru! You can't be trusted because you are just one of the stupid public morons. You are required to read a notice on the screen to "Be careful, obey laws You can't be trusted because you are just one of the stupid public morons. You are required to read a notice on the screen to "Be careful, obey laws, etc." Some teenage engineer at Subaru decided to make you listen to the radio blast you out of the car every time you start the car. If it's set to some dirty RAP station, you get to start your car and grab the volume control to save being embarrassed by what You're listing too. Subaru says this is normal and there is no fix. "xx" The cup holders are set so far back on the Forester model that you will have to be double jointed to get your drink. Don't even try if you're driving. The GM of this facility said he would look into the radio problem and would keep us in the loop. After a couple of calls, we never heard from him again. The service departments all over the country know about this problem but can't provide a programming fix. No Subaru ever again for us. We paid cash for our car. Once they have your money, the service disappears. Stick with Toyota or Honda. They are Japanese cars too but you have choices there. More

We had a great experience. First time Subaru owners, and we are thrilled with our Forester. Mikael was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the buying process simple. We had done a First time Subaru owners, and we are thrilled with our Forester. Mikael was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the buying process simple. We had done a great deal of research before buying, and we feel like we got a fair deal. We appreciated the follow up to learn more about the functionality of our car once we'd driven it and better knew what questions to ask. More

Low pressure Dealership. Efficient with the paperwork, drove home with my new car in just a little over 2 1/2 hours. Efficient with the paperwork, drove home with my new car in just a little over 2 1/2 hours. More

Very friendly staff, clean facilities, and great atmosphere. I didn't feel pressured or hassled. The employees had a genuine feel about them. I loved that they had snacks, hot cocoa, and coffee.

They had the children's room which my boyfriend and his 17 year old daughter took advantage of lol. It was a great. I would definitely go there again and I would recommend it to my mom or grandma. They explained things to me and even discounted the car off of things I would fix. Great experience! More
