CarMax Phoenix-West Valley review

I had a great experience at CarMax!

I had a great experience at CarMax! The customer service was excellent from start to finish everyone was professional, friendly, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. They really took the time to answer my questions and made sure I was comfortable with every step. I appreciate the honesty and the no-pressure approach. If you’re looking for great service and a team that truly cares, I definitely recommend CarMax!

2018 Subaru Forester 2.5I Premium review

Great value considering the superior safety features, low

Great value considering the superior safety features, low maintenance and reliability. Rear wheel bearings have been replaced twice and just had the AC compressor and serpentine belt replaced. Albeit expensive repairs, all cars need something after the first 3 years. It's been 8 years and the car still run and drives like new.

Bell Road Mitsubishi review

Always had Great experience during all visits to Bell

Always had Great experience during all visits to Bell Road Mitsubishi, including Service and Sales. The Staff are very Professional and Attentive to my Needs. Ash Salaita, sales manager was very helpful and prompt in my recent purchase of New 2025 Outlander PHEV. We were very happy with our Deal and experience, and felt we got a more than fair value for our 2020 PHEV trade In, plus great deal on a Warranty also! Davon Strickland was also very good with his Sales experience and helped it all go smooth. Again we have always had very good Sevice Care and look forward to Bell Road Mitsubishi providing their Expert Maintenance on our New Vehicle! Kenny

2018 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium review

My 4th Subaru is my favorite

I've had three other Subarus and this one is my favorite. One of the best parts about this car is how spacious it feels inside. The tall roof combined with the panoramic sunroof bring the outside in and make for a happy drive. It also has the famous Subaru boxer engine and AWD. Road noise is a bit louder than competitors, but that's ok to me because it makes the ride more fun. Also like the Eyesight suite of safety features. It adds a level of confidence to my commute. It also holds a lot of cargo when it needs to do it.
