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.

Best car buying experience in many years.! Thank you! My experience leasing our 2020 Forester with Ray Montes, Aubrey Padilla, and Tori at Garcia Subaru North was excellent. I live in Santa Fe and decide My experience leasing our 2020 Forester with Ray Montes, Aubrey Padilla, and Tori at Garcia Subaru North was excellent. I live in Santa Fe and decided to come to Garcia in Albuquerque because I couldn’t get the deal I hoped for at the local Subaru dealership. Ray’s experience in the business and comfort and care for his customers really made a big difference. Ray and General Manager, Aubrey, were willing to work with me and my husband on our trade in and lease of the new 2020 Forester to make it possible for us to close the deal. Tori, in Finance, made the finance process easy and clear. We are so very grateful to Garcia Subaru North and it’s excellent staff and will recommend them highly to others seeking a good car buying or leasing experience. More

Outstanding Experience Getting My New Family Car! Amazing experience… Ray and his team ABOVE & BEYOND going the extra mile to help my wife and 3 kids find the car of our dreams, head and shoulders abo Amazing experience… Ray and his team ABOVE & BEYOND going the extra mile to help my wife and 3 kids find the car of our dreams, head and shoulders above the other SUV we were driving. I’ve never loved any car so much and both my wife and I agree it is definitely an investment* every other car I’ve owned I’ve had buyers remorse, but this experience has been much different To start, it was SO REFRESHING to work with people that actually care. Raymond, Aubry and Norah are simply the best car people I’ve ever worked with in my life. Never felt high pressure or weird like it always does at literally every place you’ll ever shop for a car. I hardly ever leave reviews so it says a lot for me to take the time to let you know how special this group of people are and how much they really will help you get the car you need while genuinely helping at the highest level of service. One of my favorite memories of the test drive with Ray was when he didn’t try to sell me anything about the features like most car guys would do, he just told me the reason WHY I would want to own a car like this. LOVE your family? and you will drive a Subaru. And the more I read and educated myself I realized he was right - they are hands down the safest cars, designed for taking a crash at the highest level, and engineered with every detail thought of with careful awareness to yet again creating a great experience for my entire family. Wife is happy. The kids are SO HAPPY. I will never go back to another brand of car or car lot again! I’m in the process of rebuilding my credit after building several businesses over the last decade, so even with “fair” scores their team helped us qualify for a 2020 Ascent. My neighbor doctor friend in my neighborhood owns a new Subaru Ascent as well and absolutely loves it! So I became curious, and decided to leave my past life of frustration with the other car. In the first month of owning this beauty - I actually feel so safe and all the safety perks are so amazing ( lane assist helps me never drive off the road, front sensors keep me from ever rear ending someone again, the rear camera is simply amazing with steering guidance to perfectly swing those parallel park challenges, etc. etc) Pretty much everything that totally upset me with my other SUV I felt like the people at Subaru sat down and masterminded quite honestly one of the most brilliant vehicles I have had the privilege of driving. We have now taken the kids road tripping to California, camping on the beaches in northern San Diego (Encinitas, Cardiff by the Sea) and also to visit family in Colorado. The result has been life-changing, and we not only LOVE this car so much but it has turned our car time into some really great memories. The kids love all the usb chargers for their tablets and games! I love hearing everyone “oooo” and “ahhhhh” when seeing a full moon or stars out the huge sun roof. When you are driving this vehicle, you just feel like “ I’m heading down the right road in life… this is awesome “ Do yourself a favor, give these folks a call and drive the car you deserve that will take your life to the next level!

My dream car! My experience at Garcia Subaru North was really excellent! I began contact while still in Honolulu, Hawaii before moving to Albuquerque. Raymond Mon My experience at Garcia Subaru North was really excellent! I began contact while still in Honolulu, Hawaii before moving to Albuquerque. Raymond Montes expertly guided me through the process of purchasing a beautiful 2019 Subaru Crosstrek in Cool Gray Khaki. I couldn’t ask for better expertise, professionalism, and friendliness to a new arrival in Albuquerque. I drove home in my dream car and thank Ray Montes and Torie Peralta for making that happen. Thank you too Ray for the beautiful bouquet of sunflowers! More

I live in Austin, TX so they had my car brought out to me which was awesome. Ray went above and beyond and made sure that I had all the information and also added in a goodie bag for my dog. Would highly recommend any of the Garcia dealerships. More
