Wonderful shopping experience My car was in the shop at another dealer and was too expensive to repair, so I had to buy a car fairly quickly. Having done months of research previou My car was in the shop at another dealer and was too expensive to repair, so I had to buy a car fairly quickly. Having done months of research previously and narrowing it down to three SUV's, I had already test driven the other two, I decided to look at the Forester. I contacted Chris Smith thru the internet and arranged a test drive. He had all the info on the car ready. He very thoroughly explained all the features of the vehicle before and during the test drive, probably better than any dealer I'd ever dealt with. I was very impressed with the many safety and electronic features and the handling of the Forester and with Chris, who made the whole experience very easy and pleasant. He also arranged for transportation of my old car from the other dealer to Subaru to trade in and stayed to help transfer my stuff into the new car. He also introduced me to members from the other departments I would deal with. All in all, an easy, low pressure shopping experience. More

Highly Recommended! Just purchased the 2019 Forester today and I could not have asked for a better experience. Chris patiently answered the numerous emails I had sent him Just purchased the 2019 Forester today and I could not have asked for a better experience. Chris patiently answered the numerous emails I had sent him from the very beginning in a professional and friendly manner, even I did not prove that I would buy a car in the end. Moreover, I appreciate the fact that Chris completely cut the bs in the sales game and replied my inquiries with succinct and straightforward answers, unlike what I have experienced at other dealerships. Also, Curt was very helpful and not pushy during the paper-signing process. Shout out to both Chris and Curt for the fantastic experience! More

Perfection every time I have purchased most of my vehicles in the last 20 years from what is now Tucson Subaru. I have never worried about getting the run around or not I have purchased most of my vehicles in the last 20 years from what is now Tucson Subaru. I have never worried about getting the run around or not getting everything I need or am requesting. I now am on my second Subaru, choice not need, and I’m still madly in love with Subaru, the sales and finance team. I have rarely been to a place where EVERY department cares. The best part is the care is GENUINE. Thank you again Chris Smith and Curt McHenry. More

Excellent service on every count! We were looking for a new Forester & discovered we really didn't want to pay as much as the model we wanted costs. Chris suggested leasing & explained We were looking for a new Forester & discovered we really didn't want to pay as much as the model we wanted costs. Chris suggested leasing & explained - in extreme detail - how it works. He and Traci in Finance were very helpful and kind. We were introduced to the service Dept and Chris's manager and were given token gifts from each one. Every question about the cars and process were answered perfectly. We WILL be back to this dealership! More

Flourless customer service! If your looking to get a new or used Subaru, look no further! Chris Smith is the right person for the job. Chris is very clear and to the point with a If your looking to get a new or used Subaru, look no further! Chris Smith is the right person for the job. Chris is very clear and to the point with and how your payments are going to look. My experience with Chris was actually really good. He didn’t beat around the bush with trade value or my monthly payment. We sat down and got right to the point. He isn’t there to get the most money out of his sale. He’s actually a salesperson trying to get YOU the best possible deal. More
