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!

Great service I discovered a WRX this dealer was getting in stock via searching online. Made a call to find out more, was connected with Rebecca, she helped answer I discovered a WRX this dealer was getting in stock via searching online. Made a call to find out more, was connected with Rebecca, she helped answer all my questions as well as kept me in the loop when the vehicle arrived. I told her I was interested and would be making a trip (2+ hour drive for me) to see it. Upon arrival I was greeted warmly by Ryan, who Rebecca connected me with, and he showed me everything about the car, answered all of my questions without hesitation. I was sold on the car in the first 10 minutes and he made the sale as easy as possible for me. All in all I would certainly recommend this dealership. For the record, I typically view car salespeople as sharks, but not these guys. They took very good care of me and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you New Motors! More

I was not able to go look at it right away but it was meant to be and this past Monday I got my car, exactly what I wanted in my budget! Not only did he make this whole process very easy, but he stayed with me well after closing time to make sure I understood my new car before I drove back to Ohio. Definitely recommend! More

OUTSTANDING! This dealership exceeds all expectations in every aspect, from the first time you contact them until you drive your purchase off the lot and then for This dealership exceeds all expectations in every aspect, from the first time you contact them until you drive your purchase off the lot and then for as long as you own your car. Every person there is there to help you. They bend over backwards to meet every request and to answer every question. They never hurry you or pressure you. This is our second purchase from them. We would never hesitate to recommend them. Their service department is as great as the sales department. Ryan Franklin is the best of the best! More

Finally, a car salesman (and dealership) you can trust! After a horrific car buying experience at another dealership I was rather gun-shy about having to find another car, but needed to as the car we had pu After a horrific car buying experience at another dealership I was rather gun-shy about having to find another car, but needed to as the car we had purchased was forever in the shop. Thank God we found New Motors and specifically Ryan! We began our search in February and handed Ryan a pretty tough challenge. He listened (I mean really listened) to our wishlist and budget. He was able to find a couple of cars that fit the bill, but my reluctance to make a deal held us back. In June we found ourselves in the same predicament (car once more in the shop) and I called up Ryan. He went right to work for us. We now proudly drive an awesome 2018 Subaru Outback that will be reliable, safe, and worry free. The best part is I get better mileage with this car than I did my toyota hybrid!! Thanks Ryan (and the New Motors crew) for staying with us on this venture and for helping us find the perfect car! More

Great team Always a great experience! If you are looking for a sales guy who is not pushy or makes you feel like he just wants the sale Mike is your guy! Even wh Always a great experience! If you are looking for a sales guy who is not pushy or makes you feel like he just wants the sale Mike is your guy! Even when Mike was not there Ryan was there to help answer any questions and he did not make me feel pressured at all. That's one thing I know people hate is to go to a dealership and feel pressured and I have never had that feeling at New motors. More
