I have been in the car business since 1999. Subaru is my second job in the industry. I will never forget the commitment I am asking customers to make with their hard-earned money. Anyone that walks through our doors will be treated like guest in my own home. I often have told customers that I have a great view of the American Dream playing itself out in our showroom: people of every diversity with the only common denominator being hard work.

I've referred dozens of people to Garcia Subaru North...and no, I did not want any of them to use my name. I knew that they would be impressed with Garcia North Subaru, and they gave me GREAT feedback, whether they purchased a vehicle or not (a significant number did). More

Excellent experience in all respects Ray Montes is extremely knowledgeable with respect to Subaru automobiles. My wife and I were interested in a new Subaru Outback, and Ray led us thro Ray Montes is extremely knowledgeable with respect to Subaru automobiles. My wife and I were interested in a new Subaru Outback, and Ray led us through the buying process. He was sensitive to our needs as well as to our budget. He does NOT use high pressure sales tactics, explained our options, and gave us ample time to think about the purchase. He is the antithesis of the popular image of a "car salesman". I would recommend him without reservations to anyone interested in a Subaru. You will not be disappointed. More

OUR DEALERSHIP for LIFE! We just bought our 3rd vehicle from Garcia Subaru. My wife and I are seniors and have been buying cars for a very long time. Never have we found a d We just bought our 3rd vehicle from Garcia Subaru. My wife and I are seniors and have been buying cars for a very long time. Never have we found a dealership more reliable, professional or honorable than Garcia Subaru. Raymond is an absolutely first rate guy! Knowledgeable, professional, friendly and considerate. Car buying is never an easy process but Raymond makes it painless! Extremely thoughtful and great to work with! Aubrey Padilla, the general manager, is a delight! We were having a persistent problem with our older Outback (highly unusual for a Subaru) but Aubry made sure it was rectified to our complete satisfaction. I don't think any other dealer ever would have gone to the lengths to help as Aubry did. As we've told her on more than one occasion: "We'll be buying cars from you until we're too old to drive!" Honestly, we cannot say enough good things about her. She is a gem! One more comment: We want to thank Adam Hoopman, our service rep. He is, without fail friendly, helpful, efficient and fast! His communication is great and always stays on top of a situation. What a pleasure to deal with! Sincerely, Jesse & MacKenzie Allen More

A Very GOOD Experience I haven't bought a car or truck for 18 years and didn't know what to expect. My wife and I visited the dealership at least 8 or 9 times before I decid I haven't bought a car or truck for 18 years and didn't know what to expect. My wife and I visited the dealership at least 8 or 9 times before I decided to buy. This was made possible by Raymond. He would always make me feel important and at ease. He answered so many questions but was very patient with me. I never felt pressured to buy. He explained a lot about the car. After buying the car, I'm still stopping in with questions. We had a 4 month old puppy with us which I think was more welcomed than us. Raymond is great and so is the dealership. More

Raymond g My husband and I recently bought our 2020 Subaru Ascent at Garcia Subaru North in Albuquerque. We had our new car serviced there recently. Raymond greeted us and took care of us and our vehicle, with the most efficient, friendly and expertise of service. We were treated like family with Raymond. Raymond answered all our questions, and we had a lot of them, as we have not bought a new car since 1997 and this amazing vehicle has all the bells and whistles we wanted and more and we want to make the most out of all the new technology this beautiful vehicle has. We were treated like family from Raymond, Torie and Francisco, our salesman. More
