I had the pleasure of working with both big Steve (Lobaugh) and little Steve (Kolenda) when purchasing my 2025 Forester. Couldn't ask for nicer or more laid back sales people. No pressure for any p (Lobaugh) and little Steve (Kolenda) when purchasing my 2025 Forester. Couldn't ask for nicer or more laid back sales people. No pressure for any purchase but always ready to assist with any questions. Really went out of their way to make sure 1) that they were able to get the car I wanted and then 2) get the added accessories that I requested. If you go to the dealership, ask for either one. Purchasing a car can be stressful but not with these gentlemen. More

Hid knowledge, sincerity and willingness to work with us are commendable. After assessing our needs and wants (and recommending a few features we didn't know we wanted but did) he found us the best match. Financing was easy, prep was fast, and Stephen and Seth in finance stayed after hours to finalize the deal and send us home with our new Subaru. Thank you Stephen and New Motors More

I came in searching for a new car because mine was just totaled and right away he was willing to help and answer any questions I had. During the process and paperwork I was very nervous when it came to signing anything but Stephen made sure I understood everything before signing and even asked if there was anyone I wanted to call to come help me. He knew my concern with the price of my car payment and made sure it was in the price range I wanted. I left with my new car feeling comfortable, relaxed, and satisfied with my experience. More
