Came in 2 separate occasions to discuss and test drive Subarus, both sales people (Mike and Stephen) were extremely nice and accommodating. I didn’t feel pushed at all, and they worked around my driving a Subarus, both sales people (Mike and Stephen) were extremely nice and accommodating. I didn’t feel pushed at all, and they worked around my driving anxiety and newness to the buying process. I ended up with a beautiful Orange Crosstrek and couldn’t be happier! More

The dealership was convenient to navigate and find where you needed to go. My Salesperson Stephen Kolenda was very pleasant, not pushy. He explained everything I asked, in a way that I understood it. He you needed to go. My Salesperson Stephen Kolenda was very pleasant, not pushy. He explained everything I asked, in a way that I understood it. He was very knowledgeable about Subaru. I felt that he wanted me to be satisfied with my purchase and be fair. It’s difficult for an elderly female to go to any dealership and not feel like you’re being taken advantage of or that you will believe anything you are told. I did notice t have that problem with Stephen. I felt he was being honest and wanted to make sure I understood everything. I would definitely recommend New Motors and Stephen Kolenda.
