Grayson Hyundai review

My wife and I recently purchased a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek

My wife and I recently purchased a 2025 Subaru Crosstrek from Grayson Subaru. Our salesman, Jay Kadlec, was extremely knowledgeable about the Crosstrek. He helped us efficiently find the car with the features and in the color we wanted. At 71 years old, I can confidently say Jay Kadlec made the purchase of this vehicle the least stressful auto purchase I have made. He was very patient and friendly answering all of our questions and keeping us informed how the Grayson process worked. We left feeling we definitely got the car we wanted, received a fair deal on our trade in and paid a fair price. I would highly recommend anyone in the market for a new or used Subaru to contact Jay Kadlec at Grayson Subaru.

McLarty Nissan of Little Rock review

Darrin the Maintenance advisor did an awsome job grèeting

Darrin the Maintenance advisor did an awsome job grèeting and keeping his customers informed about the progress of there cars. During my total wait time he seemed to be the only active Maintenance advisor checking in customers. Due to his professionalism I will return to this dealership again.

23 years old and still going strong!

23 years old with 255,00 miles! Mostly just basic maintenance has been done on her. When the time comes, it will be another Nissan for me as long as I can get it with a manual transmission!!
