114 Reviews
Ryan was born in Wiesbaden, Germany and grew up in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland (just south of Washington, D.C.) right on the Chesapeake Bay. He graduated from Northern High School and also earned a Bachelor's Degree in Photography and Computer Imagery from Shepherd University. Ryan started working for New Motors in March of 2017 after relocating with his wife and their two "fur babies, Oscar (dog) and Chauncey (cat)." Ryan believes that automobiles are an extension of someone's personality and are more than just a means of transportation. In college, his senior project focused on that relationship photographing people and their modes of transportation together. After graduating from college, he married his high school sweetheart and has moved from one end of the country to the other. Before working at New Motors, he was the Photography Editor for a transmission parts company. Ryan's loyalty to the Subaru brand lead him to eventually sell them! He looks forward to meeting you!

Shane Harney has been my go to car salesman since 2012. He has always found vehicles to fit my current lifestyle, which has now grown into a family car with easy to wipe down seats for puppy paws too. He He has always found vehicles to fit my current lifestyle, which has now grown into a family car with easy to wipe down seats for puppy paws too. He has always maintained professionalism, speedy answers and found vehicles to maintain optimal safety. I have never felt I was being sold to rather it has been an enjoyable experience. The finance department has always been exceptional and car trade ins have always been hassle free. Thank you. More

Sales manager, Ryan Franklin, was there if we needed him but not at all pushy (which I greatly appreciated!). Huge shout out to our sales representative, Kevin Yaros. Kevin was so helpful with every question and concern we had. From the initial test drive to the actual purchase of my beautiful new Suburb Forester, Kevin was a gem! We had the pleasure of meeting Michelle Happy as well in their finance department and she was wonderful. 100% would recommend this dealership! More

New Motors still has a personal touch when so many dealers just go through the motions. I recently purchased a new Legacy from Steve Kolenda . This is the 2nd Legacy I've purchased from him.

Had purchased a subaru outback from New Motors many years ago and returned when looking for a new used outback recently. Did not start off well as the car I had made a preliminary offer on was not available ago and returned when looking for a new used outback recently. Did not start off well as the car I had made a preliminary offer on was not available when I arrived. Lack of communication between departments was the bottom line. Sales manager was very apologetic and assisted in finding a new used outback that met my criteria. Brendan (sales) was very nice and worked with me to get me into a new used outback More
