Steve was easy to work with; answering all my and my mom's que you're in the market for a new car. He came referred to me, and he did not disappoint. Steve was easy to work with; answering all my and my mom's questions. He was transparent throughout the entire process while remaining friendly and personable. I came in knowing I was interested in the 2024 Crosstrek Sport, and Steve affirmed my decision with both his professional and personal knowledge of the car. It was evident that he genuinely cares about his customers, and I felt well-taken care of the entire time. Based on my first interaction there, I know that I will continue to feel that way throughout my time with New Motors in the future. Thanks, Steve & New Motors Subaru! More
