Car repair
Good customer service and friendly staff. Didn?t take long to complete the repair
Subaru Forester, take a long test drive to decide
Mechanically reliable. Decent gas mileage. Headrests block line of vision. Sideview mirrors can be difficult to adjust. The most uncomfortable seats of any automobile I have ever owned. Lots of cabin noise both city and highway driving.

I’m the 3rd owner of a 2012 Subaru Forester purchased at
I’m the 3rd owner of a 2012 Subaru Forester purchased at approx 175,000 miles and it still runs pretty good! It does burn oil up pretty quickly and mine has issues with reading the levels and won’t give me a warning light so i check the dip stick often. Mine did have exhaust issues and had to replace a rested out piping from the cat back, but mufflers were still good. Also the Oxygen sensor was a problem for awhile, which you can only use on brand for it to work properly. Gas mileage is decent for the size of the vehicle and its age. Only wish the front seats went back more bc my taller girlfriend who is 5’11 with long legs struggles to fit and be comfortable in the passenger seat.

Excellent choice!
Bought this car three years old with less than 50K miles on it. I’ve loved it since we got it. It has been very reliable, fun to drive, with pretty minor drawbacks. For example the maintenance has been very minimal. I haven’t noticed ANY oil burning or leaking (I have personally changed the oil every 3-4K miles). Sometimes on long trips it will burn some oil and need a top off, which the car alerts us to. Overall I’d buy this car over and over as long as it fit my needs at the time. Currently looking into an Ascent for future hockey trips and other trips.

Gret people to deal with
I recently traded in my Ford Explorer 2002 for a Jeep Compass 2007. I was very satisfied with their selection and service. Since it came without a manual they payed for obtaining one for me, and were very prompt in installing a cabin filter for the air conditioner. Great people to deal with~!! Desiree Kantrim
In love with this vehicle
I've never owned a Subaru before but after purchasing the Forester, I may never own anything but a Subaru again! I love the Eyesight Drivers Assistant that it came equipped with. I can see why this car has one of the best safety ratings out there. The interior is very open, spacious, & comfortable and the panoramic sunroof is amazing! It drives and handles like a dream. I would recommend this car to anyone. You won't be disappointed!

I recently purchased a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Certified from Safford Brown Mazda Chantilly, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, the process was incredibly quick and easy. The team at Safford Brown Mazda Chantilly was professional and efficient, making sure all my questions were answered and my needs met. They guided me through every step of the buying process with a friendly and knowledgeable approach, ensuring I felt confident in my decision. The 2021 Mazda CX-5 Certified I purchased is in excellent condition, living up to all my expectations in terms of quality and performance. Overall, the experience was seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Safford Brown Mazda Chantilly to anyone in the market for a new or certified pre-owned vehicle. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and efficiency made all the difference. If you go ask for Carlos!!!!
Great car for grandmother to take grandkids aroun!
I needed a car for my lengthy visits with my young grandkids and this car is perfect! I felt more comfortable buying a 7 year old Subaru than I would another used car. It’s easy to put the car seats in and there is plenty of room for everyone!

The Best Dealer In The Area
This is my first experience with Fitzgerald Subaru of Gaithersburg. They have customers for life with me and my family!! Their customer service is beyond excellent. John Dutton was my sales agent and he made us feel welcome, very friendly, helpful and polite. I spoke with a couple of people on my visit there, everyone is amazing. The car I just bought was beyond my expectations, excellent condition, great financial program, honestly my experience with them is indescribable. Thank you everyone, you helped me and my family to get a new car!!! We love you guys!!!

Fitzgerald best I ever had
It was the best experience I have had thus far and I'm on my 15th car purchase. My salesman Farshad from the first phone call had me trusting that he was a man of his word and right until the end he said and did everything he promised. I love that the General Manager texted me when my car was delivered because Farshad was off. This was also the first time I really liked the finance person probably because she was a Women she was the best. I just can't say enough my purple on purple GV70 is everything I thought it would be. Prince would be proud and my Ravens also.
Best car I’ve ever owned.
Perfect for short people!! Great visibility with minimal blind spots. Reliable. Safe. Holds its value. Bought from Joe at Salton Motors. Excellent experience. I won’t own anything else. Great car.

I found Cars of Rockville on my used car search looking for a realiable Honda. I found a 2010 Honda Accord and was extremly satisfied and comfortable with the whole process. The staff was very friendly and polite. Love the energy. I love my purchase. Thank you Cars of Rockville.
Great Value, Great Car!
One of the most comfortable cars I have owned. The things I love best. the reliability of the vehicle, only regular maintenance with higher miles, The huge moon roof, and the simple design of the interior of car. This car is loaded yet has very minimal control buttons which is perfect for me rather than trying to figure out how to operate everything. Best car I have ever owned especially buying used with high miles.

Best car and dealership
Best longest lasting car I ever owned. (Premium package) Unfortunately,it had the motor issue where it burned oil and I had to complain for years to the dealership until they finally verified what I complained about since 34,000 miles. At 100,000 miles they changed out the motor parts and corrected the problem. I’ve owned several other American made(made in Canada) vehicles who never stood behind their vehicles so got fed up and purchased a Subaru. This story still goes to show that there can still be mechanical issues but a great dealership can really make a difference. I purchased it in the Wilkes-Barre area but a Northumberland dealership finally fixed the recall issue. Our family now has owned 3 Subaru’s and love them!

Great service
Gabe was very helpful, friendly, and professional. He kept working with my husband making sure I was satisfied with the deal.
I bought my 2009 forester with 200k on the click.
I bought my 2009 forester with 200k on the click. She was well locked after but has a few scratches here and there but paint work is still beautiful. Performance is great but she is heavy on fuel. This is expected from an AWD as the engine is pulling all 4 wheels continuously at the same time. No oil leaks, aircon works well. The only major issue I have had was the thermostat falling. I caused my radiator to crack due to pressure building up. I removed it and she is running perfectly. I live at the coast in South africa so our winter temp never drop below 10° and our summer average at 30°. Overall, I'll will be buying another forester with it's great space and power....love it

Needed a new battery.
They are professional and caring. I needed a new battery and they installed it quickly. I was particularly impressed when I drove away and found the windows on the passenger side would not respond to my driver controls. I called them back. My service consultant, Trish, walked me through the way to reboot the control so it worked again. I did not have to return to the shop. She was super helpful throughout the whole process.
I love Subaru
This car was very comfortable and dependable. We had no issues with it. It has a little road noise issue but not too bad. We really enjoyed owning this car.

Awesome Customer Experience
Where do I start, first Raj responded to my inquiry regarding a car for my son. Upon arriving to the dealership we were greeted by Chris LaPorte. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had purchasing a vehicle. The managers were friendly, the staff was friendly. Mohammad was so gentle and caring the entire process was unexpectedly pleasant. When we walked in the door I was ready for battle by the time we walked out the door I was smiling and laughing!!! Chris Barr the Sales Manager was awesome as well it was such a great experience. Thanks Subaru team for giving awesome service!!!!
Great vehicle
I have owned my 2017 Forester since late 2016. Except for normal maintenance I've had no problems with thr vehicle. All of the warning systems work very well,they have saved me from accidents numerous times. The automatic seat repositioning when some one else has used my is really handy eliminates all the adjusting needed to get the position back to my needs. Traction and controll during winter and bad weather are excellent. My forrester get used like a truck at times. Great overall car.

Professional, Friendly, and Easy Buying Experience
Great buying experience end to end. My sale advisor, Chris LaPorte, coordinated every step to move me smoothly through test drive, pricing, trade, finance, and orientation with my new Outback. Chris was prepared with answers for all my questions and anticipated many of my concerns. He knew the product end to end and educated me without pushing or wasting my time. Every other person I interacted with, including Mohammed in Finance, was professional, organized and transparent. Chris took the time to introduce me to the service team and dealership executives. The dealership is crowded and a little chaotic due to expansion but the service was first rate.

Chris LaPorte is The Man!
Chris LaPorte sold us our second Subaru Outback in 2012. Fast forward 11 years and Chris was the first salesman to greet us when we walked into the dealership on Black Friday. My wife and I shared a good chuckle with Chris when we pieced this together so we knew we would have a smooth buying experience. Chris is a straight shooter when it comes to recommending cars that meet your needs. After we'd looked at a few models on the lot, we were on the road to test drive the model we ultimately purchased and drove off in that same day, given that Chris had listened to us attentively and found a match that would serve us for the coming years. There was no question that we'd add the VIP Club since I took the car we just traded in for regular oil changes, annual state inspections, tire rotations and more since Trevor Rosser, Service Advisor, has been a reliable, friendly representative of Sheehy with whom to work. Chris LaPorte (and Chris Barr and Joe Messina) went above and beyond to assure we'll be "Customers for Life". Many thanks to the Sheehy staff!
Happy Demanding Customer
I’ve driven the Forester before and have been wanting one for two years. So now that it was time for me to give up my 2010 Legacy with 222,000 miles on it, I chose the Forester. The dealer is very customer friendly and very competitive in their pricing, even though I paid 25K plus for a four year old car…vestiges of the used car pandemic pricing. The car drives beautifully, smooth and quiet. I am very happy with my purchase.

This is a follow up review, I did have to change the head
This is a follow up review, I did have to change the head gaskets out on my 2010 forester. I've seen this is common, once again, the work is able to be done by a DIY mechanic. Since 2020 Ive had to change the ignition coil, spark plug wires, head gaskets in February of 2024, and also the crankshaft position sensor. The car had 165,000 miles when the head gaskets needed changed. So far it has 173,000 miles and still runs well. Also changed were the clutch and throwout beairng, and another timing belt change. It still runs very well, the exhaust is getting rusty and have had to fix that, overall its been a good car. I've owned it for 12 years and the ability to work on it yourself is what I really like about it, it isn't fast, but its quite utilitarian and my dog loves it as well. So if you don't mind working on your own stuff its one of the easiest cars to work on with the way the engine is oriented in the longitudinal position. I've always changed the oil every 4-5000 miles since I've had it, the heads and valves were completely clean. I'd say if one keeps up the servicing on these they are good vehicles to own. Not looking forward to when it blows, they don't make plain cars like this now adays.
