I have been in the car business since 1999. Subaru is my second job in the industry. I will never forget the commitment I am asking customers to make with their hard-earned money. Anyone that walks through our doors will be treated like guest in my own home. I often have told customers that I have a great view of the American Dream playing itself out in our showroom: people of every diversity with the only common denominator being hard work.

This is my fifth Subaru Forrester and the third one I’ve leased from Garcia in ABQ. He makes the entire process easy and pain-free. I live in Santa Fe, but Garcia Subaru North in ABQ is worth going south leased from Garcia in ABQ. He makes the entire process easy and pain-free. I live in Santa Fe, but Garcia Subaru North in ABQ is worth going south an hour. Ray has become a friend — and he makes sure everything happens as I want it. My husband and I got to know Ray six years ago, and Dick really liked dealing with him. As a widow, he has treated me with all the courtesy one could want — and more — since Dick died. I trust Ray, and that’s important to me. Plus, I love everything about my Subaru. When I need service, I appreciate the convenience of the Santa Fe dealer, but I will never lease or buy from anyone but Ray at Garcia North. I’ve driven Lexus and Mercedes vehicles over many years, but I have to say that my many Subarus’ performance has been a real pleasure. The car just fits me somehow. Thank you, Ray. More

Ray is all about people. As a car collector friend of mine always said, buy the seller, not the car. Ray makes buying a car a pleasure because he is such a great seller!

My visit at Garcia was by far the best car-buying experience ever! Raymond actually made it a pleasurable experience. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the products and the Garcia agenc experience ever! Raymond actually made it a pleasurable experience. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the products and the Garcia agency, but he was kind, caring and fun to work with. Tori was also very helpful and fun to deal with. It was truly a pleasure dealing with such nice, caring, down-to-earth people. And I love my Crosstrek! More

Absolutely loved the purchasing process with Ray. Made us feel like we were hanging out with a friend we’ve known for years. Will definitely be back to buy another car from him when the time comes.

I had the best VIP treatment by a professional, competent, patient & kind person who explained what I needed to know in a manner I could understand. I was put at ease each time I raised an issue co competent, patient & kind person who explained what I needed to know in a manner I could understand. I was put at ease each time I raised an issue coz this 2025 model I had bought had features that I was not familiar with. I had met Billy Scribner when I had a puncture in mid-June, and I was impressed by how I was treated by him & Tyler to the point of being loaned a new 2024 Subaru legacy to drive home as I had to wait for my new tire to come in. When my Subaru was totaled, I headed straight to Garcia Subaru north. I bought my new 2025 Subaru without hesitation. Toria, the Finance Manager instilled in me the importance of getting an extended warranty. She was patient and treated me with the utmost courtesy. I bought the 10- year extended warranty which will most certainly protect the vehicle I had bought from any unknown defects. I am very happy with my new vehicle and Raymond called me the following day after I drove my vehicle home to inquire how it functioned. I was very happy to hear from him about my getting home safely as I live in Santa Fe, NM More

Before my recent Subaru purchase I had bought three other new cars over 30 years. Our experience with Raymond was one that I never knew was possible between buyer and seller. (Where have you been all our liv new cars over 30 years. Our experience with Raymond was one that I never knew was possible between buyer and seller. (Where have you been all our lives Raymond?!) What an amazing experience. This man absolutely sets the standard for professionalism and conveying a feel-good, no-pressure experience to his customers. Want to buy a new car? Go see Raymond! More
