With nearly 14 years at Tucson Subaru and 10 Subarus of my own, I’ve seen firsthand how these vehicles can truly change lives—one even saved my family’s. Living in the desert since 1998 has fueled my love for adventure, and Subaru’s safety and capability have always given me the confidence to explore further. I look forward to sharing that experience with you and helping you find the Subaru that’s the perfect fit for your life and adventures.

He worked with us to get the monthly payment we needed and the car we wanted. He's very personable and I will definitely refer anyone I know looking to buy a new car to come see him. More

Just got home with my new Outback I started looking at new cars last December after having a car for over 9 1/2 years and having almost 170,000 miles on it. After "shopping" on line f I started looking at new cars last December after having a car for over 9 1/2 years and having almost 170,000 miles on it. After "shopping" on line for various models and reading many reviews, I decided on looking at the new 2015 Outback. The reviews were great and then the safety reports came out, which were even better. I first walked into Tuscon Subaru in early December without an appointment to look at the cars. I was introduced to CJ, who to say the least was quite knowledgeable about the car. Since the last car was purchased in 2005, the newer models, are to say the least quite advanced , with all the new technology. As I was "just looking" and thought about looking at other makes I left. There was no pressure, and I indicated I would probably be back to take a test drive, which I did the following week. Following the test drive, we started to discuss a purchase. I had done some homework on various websites so felt that the final price was more then fair. I had decided I wanted a particular car, with particular extras in a particular color and was in no hurry so an order was placed. Today, 2/6/15, I picked up the new car and have only driven it 35 miles but so far, I'm in love. LOL! CJ gave me a great run down of how everything works... of course the best way to learn will be to drive it and get accustomed to all the new technology. Also, the congratulatory gift was very nice and something no one had ever given me before. I would definitely recommend Tucson Subaru. More

CJ Nichols is your Subaru man! My husband and I hadn't purchased a new vehicle in over 14 years, so were a little out of practice & mildly stressed about the prospect of dealing wit My husband and I hadn't purchased a new vehicle in over 14 years, so were a little out of practice & mildly stressed about the prospect of dealing with pushy sales people. Our first experience at Subaru, particularly working with CJ Nichols, quickly allayed those stresses. CJ shared both personal and industry safety anecdotes about the car we were looking at. He made us feel confident about our choices without trying to upsell us in any way. On our 2nd visit, we purchased our new Forester! We love it and feel good about the overall experience of purchasing it through CJ. Highly recommend! More

Outstanding Experience worth the drive from Phoenix! Recently I have been looking at Foresters and decided to check out the local dealers in Phoenix and didn't receive the any information or the customer Recently I have been looking at Foresters and decided to check out the local dealers in Phoenix and didn't receive the any information or the customer service that I needed to purchase a Forester, so I decided to drive down to Tucson Subaru and spoke with our salesman CJ Nichols, Well not only did CJ show me everything about the Forester, he made this car buying experience amazing. He listen to what we wanted in a car and gave us a hassle free experience, CJ was never pushy or rude and let us think about it when we went to have lunch in between. When we came back he continued working with us to help us get our new Forester XT! After that the amazing experience continued with Louie Ascencio and gave us in great detail about the warranty package that was right for us. Thanks to CJ Nichols and Louie Ascensio at Tucson Subaru for make it awesome and I would drive down from Phoenix again to purchase another Subaru! More

New car buying experience All of my friends with Subarus have loved them and most have had them for years, so I knew my next car would probably be a Subaru. And it was. I jus All of my friends with Subarus have loved them and most have had them for years, so I knew my next car would probably be a Subaru. And it was. I just purchased a Forester from CJ Nichols at Tucson Subaru. With CJ, there were no stupid questions and he took the time to make sure I understood all the features on the car and know what I was getting. I worked with Louis in Finance and he also took a lot of time to make sure I understood all finance and warranty options. This was a much less stressful experience than my previous car buying experiences. When you go to Tucson Subaru, tell CJ I sent you! More

Excellent in Both Service and Sales It's been a few months since the purchase of my 2015 Outback - it could not have gone better. CJ Nichols knows every detail about each one of these ve It's been a few months since the purchase of my 2015 Outback - it could not have gone better. CJ Nichols knows every detail about each one of these vehicles, and was totally straightforward and helpful in matching me up with the right car. He clearly stands behind the Subaru brand. Price and features were great, and Tim Hanson in finance helped with an offer that was available at the time and made all the details of that process go very smoothly - I'd even say it was painless. I've had many years of experience working with the service department as well and look forward to continuing that with the new vehicle. Dan Ford runs a great team and Ivan Salazar is an excellent addition. Very professional all around. Never had a bad experience with this dealership in any way and it's great to have the new location with the new service shop too. More

CJ had previously helped my son p I went to the dealership to trade in a vehicle and had intended on purchasing a used vehicle that I saw on the lot. CJ had previously helped my son purchase a car and it was such a great experience that we decided to return for my purchase. CJ listened to what I wanted in a vehicle and showed me several. The vehicle that I had seen previously had already sold so CJ showed me a 2015 Subaru Impreza hatchback and I fell in love with the vehicle. CJ was never pushy and I never felt rushed to make a decision on a purchase. CJ and the manager worked hard to get me the vehicle I wanted at a price I was satisfied with. I would highly recommend CJ and the entire staff that I worked with at Tucson Subaru to my friends and family, and I am highly satisfied with the vehicle I purchased. More
