I come from a background in the restaurant industry as a chef and general manager and moved to the car industry in November of 2014. I have always been a car guy and have been active in car clubs in the Portland area for over 20 years. In my spare time I play with old cars and vintage bicycles and try to keep up with my very active son.

Jim was very helpful reviewing features that were not necessarily instinctive. It's nice to have such good after-sale followup by Royal Moore. necessarily instinctive. It's nice to have such good after-sale followup by Royal Moore. More

The dealer’s attitude and professional spirit leaves us a deep impression, and we finally decided to buy a Sabaru car from him. He really really deserves this 5 star for his excellent service. deep impression, and we finally decided to buy a Sabaru car from him. He really really deserves this 5 star for his excellent service.

Javier was super great to work with. Very polite, yet authentic guy with a good sense of humor. None of that should matter when buying a car, but the day can be very long.

I felt very comfortable asking questions and speaking my mind, which isn’t always the case. The whole team there (Jim, Hanz, and Michelle) were awesome as well. More

I purchased a Subaru Crosstrek 2024 pearl white premium. I purchased this vehicle for a very good price at 27,000 under MSRP. I’ve had Toyotas/Honda my entire life. I sold my black 2021 RAV4 XLE lifted a m I purchased this vehicle for a very good price at 27,000 under MSRP. I’ve had Toyotas/Honda my entire life. I sold my black 2021 RAV4 XLE lifted a month ago back to Royal Moore Toyota and I’ve decided to get a new car and for some reason Subaru was in my head so one I went to Subaru called Giovanni, and I purchased a car. I called him while I was getting my dad‘s car service at Toyota Friday morning and hour later I went over with my dad. I told him I wanted this car and this color and this model I walked over there The car was right in front and it was beautiful. I didn’t even test drive it. I loved everything about it Within an hour, we purchased it with a 3.9% interest rates amazing. I never thought I’d be a Subaru lover or a Subaru driver, but I am so glad I purchased it. I feel safe in it and especially during the winter in Oregon you need all wheel drive. My husband has a 2023 Subaru WRX limited and he loves his car and now I understand why. It was the best car buying experience my entire 40 years. Everything was done with an hour because of Chris, Giovanni, and Jim. I mean it was paperless transaction I received all the documents via email. I was able to get my car within an hour and I honestly recommend you guys go to the dealership for any Subaru. I appreciate his honesty and the no pressure buying. I decided to buy the whole kitchen caboodle because God forbid something was to happen to my car. I am fully covered! We have purchased six cars within three years from Royal Moore Subaru and Toyota. This is the best dealership in the state of Oregon and I recommend everybody go to the dealership and ask for Giovanni at Subaru and Scott at Toyota. This dealership will be my go to dealership and I have recommend all my friends and family to go see these two guys. I am a customer for life! More
