Pleasure to work with! I met with Chris Smith last night to discuss a trade in and purchase of a used Outback. He was very responsive when I emailed him prior to my visit to I met with Chris Smith last night to discuss a trade in and purchase of a used Outback. He was very responsive when I emailed him prior to my visit to the showroom. When I got there, he answered all my questions, and was very patient throughout the process. I never felt pressured, and walked away with an amazing deal! I felt that I was fairly treated, and I have nothing but praise for the staff. Traci, the Finance Manager, was so great! This was by far the easiest vehicle purchase that I’ve ever had. More

Chris was ver Tucson Subaru had exactly the car we were looking for. We had been working with Chris Smith for 6 months waiting for the 'right' car. Chris was very knowledgeable about all of the car's features, answered all of my questions and looked up all of the information about the car I requested He accommodated our timeline since we had only a day before leaving town. We were able to negotiate a trade-in and we were able to complete our purchase within a few hours. Traci was also helpful in getting the paperwork together quickly. This is my wife's 5th Subaru Outback and she is very happy! More

When I expressed that i felt the pride was too high considering the make and model, he replied "what would you sell it for? Since you know more about it than we do." Very snarky and unprofessional response. I will take my money elsewhere because of Chris. More

Best Car Buying Experience EVER Thanks To Chris Smith!!! I found out first-hand why Chris Smith and Tucson Subaru have so many great reviews. I have purchased many cars in my lifetime and this was, by far, I found out first-hand why Chris Smith and Tucson Subaru have so many great reviews. I have purchased many cars in my lifetime and this was, by far, the smoothest most hassle free car buying experience I have ever had. It was also the best deal I have ever had on a new car. I had researched a lot of other dealers and none of them offered the great deal that Chris Smith and Tucson Subaru offered. And, the trade-in price I was given for my 2012 Buick Lacrosse was very fair. The used car manager, I believe it was Mr. DJ Tramp, was very reasonable with the trade-in offer. The finance aspect of the deal went really smooth thanks to Curt McHenry. He's a real nice guy and he made the paperwork quick and painless. It was also nice to meet Service Advisor Dan Ford, whom I look forward to seeing again in the future. The 2018 Subaru Legacy that I purchased is a really beautiful car and a real pleasure to drive. I looked at the Accord and Camry prior to buying the Legacy. I believe the Legacy is the much nicer car. I'm really surprised that the Subaru Corporation doesn't advertise it more. People are really missing out if the don't check this car out. I love everything about the Legacy! Most of all I would highly recommend giving Chris Smith a chance for your business. You will find he's a great guy, very professional and friendly, and he really knows the business and how to help you find exactly what you want. You will not be disappointed if you deal with Chris Smith. I really appreciated having him as my salesman from start to finish. Also, the Tucson Subaru team members who tinted the windows for me and prepped the car for delivery did a great job too. Being behind the scene they probably don't get much credit, but my new Legacy was shiny and sparkling clean when were done with it! Overall, it was wonderful experience dealing with Tucson Subaru and all their great employees!!! More

We weren't able to get to the dealership until late in the evening, so the process of checking cars out, then test-driving, then completing paperwork was actually spread over several days for us, and we were helped by multiple salespeople (CJ, Chris, and Traci), who were all awesome.
