Tucson Subaru--the staff is all-around EXCELLENT I wrote a review as soon as I got home with my new Crosstrek on Saturday. It must have been too long for the site, or i pushed a fatal backspace somew I wrote a review as soon as I got home with my new Crosstrek on Saturday. It must have been too long for the site, or i pushed a fatal backspace somewhere, because the first 2 "pages" were lost in the electronic wasteland. But this missing part is just as important as the great car: Chris Smith (internet sales) gave me an excellent price on my 2018 Crosstrek. He walked me through the whole process after he put me into exactly the car I wanted. He listened. He explained terms clearly. I knew more.about operating my vehicle after a show-and-tell session in my Crosstrek than ever after any other car-buying experience. It didn't feel like a standard sales talk. It seemed like he was as happy to show me all the wonderful features as i was to learn about them. He introduced me to other people who would help during the process. (Jennifer Duran, Finance mgr., was especially helpful taking me through the financial paperwork. She also explained the excellent options available to protect the investment I was making.) When i commented that it was such a good car-buying experience at Tucson Subaru, i was told that the staff there wants customers happy so that everybody feels good when they meet again during a future visit for service, etc. And Chris Smith put the icing on the icing on the cake with me when he handed me a dozen red roses to celebrate the event. I first experienced Tucson Subaru through the kindness of Jade Hilliard and the folks in the Service Dept. during a pre-move visit to Tucson back in November. They gave me a safety check on my 2015 Impreza (wonderful car in its own right) that was above and beyond the norm. I felt perfectly secure on my trip back to Northern CA to finish selling my house, pack and drive back to Tucson. Great people, great service, a product to be proud to sell to people--like I said at the top: Tucson Subaru is all-around EXCELLENT ! More like 10 Stars from me. See you all again, I'm sure. --Gayle More

Friendly, Easy and Hassle-free! Tucson Subaru had come recommended to me by several friends, so I was happy to see that the Crosstrek I found on Cars.com was listed by there. I recei Tucson Subaru had come recommended to me by several friends, so I was happy to see that the Crosstrek I found on Cars.com was listed by there. I received an immediate answer to my inquiry about the car, and Chris was quick and professional in scheduling an appointment for a test drive. This was my first car purchase through a dealer, so I was a bit on edge about pushy salesmanship but was relieved to find Chris a very easy going and informative straight-shooter. Once I agreed to the purchase, Traci picked up the paperwork, walked me through all the signatures, explained, explored but didn't push add-on options and had me out the door in no time. Overall, a very pleasant and satisfied experience! More
