BEST of the BEST

5 out of 5 starsby Alan Needleman on 07/29/2025

The absolute BEST dealership in every single way. They will make your car buying experience as smooth and easy as possible. From the beginning to the end, they will take the time to be extremely thorough and explain in terms that you can understand! They literally stand behind their product! Everything that I was told by friends and family who have purchased here before IS TRUE!!! In addition, they give an awful lot back to the community, which once again separates them from the rest. They are more than deserving of all of the accolades that they have earned!!!

  • A new Forester, our third.

    4 out of 5 starsby Robin on 07/03/2025

    Informative & friendly service. No “rush job” on the sales pitch. Took plenty of time to familiarize us with all aspects of the car operation.
  • Love, love, love my new subaru

    The service was impeccable. Craig Nelson was knowledgeable, thorough and fair. The process was well thought out and the follow up is amazing.
  • Great Salesman at Parkway Subara

    5 out of 5 starsby Dee Bumbera on 05/13/2025

    From the moment I made inquiries into Parkway Subaru on the internet, I was offered all kinds is assistance. My trade-in vehicle was appraised online. An appointment was set up for me to meet David Shaffer. He couldn’t have been any friendlier, knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. He was not pushy, answered all my questions, and worked a very fair deal for me on a new Hybrid Forester Sport model. He made follow up service appointments and walked me through all the features of my new car. There was no pressure to buy add-ons, though they were offered. I’d do business with him again and recommend him in a heartbeat. I would also like to put in a good word for the sales manager and finance manager. It was an excellent buying experience.
    • Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that David Shaffer and the entire team at Parkway Subaru made the car-buying process smooth, informative, and pressure-free. We're proud to have earned your trust and your recommendation. Enjoy your new Forester Sport Hybrid—and welcome to the Parkway Family! 🌟🚗

  • 2025 WRX modern day muscle car

    5 out of 5 starsby Bob on 04/29/2025

    Parkway Subaru was again awesome to work with. We have purchased two new Subaru cars in the last year and have been very impressed. We went in with a car in-mind and when we told Garrett what we were really hoping for, he set us up with exactly the car we wanted. My wife has not been so giddy about driving a car in years. Thank you all!
  • Excellent car buying experience!

    5 out of 5 starsby KTL on 03/04/2025

    I am extremely pleased with the all around level of customer service at Parkway Subaru! My sales representative Garrett Baysden made my entire experience seamless and stress free. Garrett was professional, extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He came in on his day off the next morning to complete the sale with my husband present also. Everything was timely and ready to be finalized. In addition, I very much appreciated the extra time Garrett took to familiarize my husband and I with all the new technology of the car. The dealership which is family owned and Garrett are outstanding! I highly recommend this car buying experience.
  • Garrett and Eric Made It Easy!

    5 out of 5 starsby Kate on 03/04/2025

    Garrett Baysden was fantastic to work with. He's enthusiastic without being pushy. Eric in finance was informative without being pushy. The whole experience was as pleasant as could be. And the car itself, a pre-owned Subaru Crosstrek, is an absolute dream! Our mechanic told us he'd never seen door jambs so pristine on a used vehicle. :) I'd definitely recommend Parkway in general and Garrett in particular!
  • I didn't go to buy a car.

    5 out of 5 starsby M Conboy on 12/24/2024

    I went to Parkway Subaru to test drive two vehicles. I had no plans of buying here because I had found both cars at other dealerships for slightly less money. I am always skeptical of buying a new vehicle and I didn't believe Parkway would match sales prices from other dealerships. However, I had a very pleasant buying experience at Parkway Subaru. Garrett was very informative and professional and the dealership offered me a final price that I couldn't refuse. I definitely recommend Parkway Subaru of Wilmington for your next new car.
  • Great Experience!

    5 out of 5 starsby Lucy Whaley on 12/23/2024

    We recently purchased a Subaru and had a very good experience with salesman Garrett Basden. He was cordial, polite, and helpful. I feel we could reach out to him any time with questions or help learning our new vehicle. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new or used car!
  • New 2025 Forester

    5 out of 5 starsby Dave on 12/11/2024

    Recently leased my first new Subaru Forester from Parkway Subaru, in Willmington. I worked with Craig Nelson on the details in leasing vs purchasing. He provided my wife and I with a number of good reasons to lease a vehicle. After taking a test drive, we decided to lease. The leasing process was a pleasing experience, and we are looking forward to our second visit to learn more about all the new features.
  • Thankful!

    5 out of 5 starsby Debbie on 10/13/2024

    From the moment we pulled into the location and until I drove out in my new Subaru, it was a great experience. I felt comfortable and was treated so well! I would highly recommend this dealership and if you can work with Jeremy Race you will not be disappointed.
  • Parkway Blew Me Away

    5 out of 5 starsby Joe B on 10/01/2024

    No pressure. No games. No manipulation. Ozzie listened to what we were looking for and he delivered. He was also very thorough explaining all the features of two different models. Even the dreaded finance guy was very straight forward and patient with all my questions. Truly the easiest car buying experience I have ever had.

  • New SUV

    5 out of 5 starsby Terry Scott on 09/03/2024

    2 weeks ago our daughter bought a new 2025 Subaru Forester from Jeremy Race and since we saw it we to thought about a new vehicle. So we were in contact with Jeremy Race and he did some numbers and helped us decide on getting a new Subaru Forester so we did 1 week after our daughter got hers. We looked at other SUV's in this class and we liked the Forester. Plus Subaru has the highest rating for safety
  • Great experience

    Mike Sergent made the car buying experience easy and strsss free.
  • Nice job

    Salesman listened to our needs and respectively reacted. Great knowledge of vehicle and safety systems. Was a professional !
  • I was treated amazingly. Very transparent!

    5 out of 5 starsby RSM on 07/28/2024

    Ozzie Espinado did a marvelous job! He was very up front & never pressured me. Just like the past days when you could walk into a car dealership & have a heart-to-heart discussion. There is a LOT to be said about dealing with a family owned & operated car dealership. By the way, I love my new Subaru Outback Touring! I can understand why there are so many Subarus on the road in Wilmington!
  • Excellent service with knowledge of their vehicles and process

    5 out of 5 starsby Barb on 07/22/2024

    I expressed interest in a particular vehicle via the internet. I was messaged soon after and given a name to contact when I got to the dealership. A senior agent, Jeremy, helped me look at the car of interest. It didn't have some of the features I was wanted so he tracked down one that did. We negotiated some (they were very timely - not keeping me waiting long at all) and I agreed to the price. After that, all the paperwork was done pretty quickly. Jeremy took the time to explain the features of my new car in detail (appreciated!) and then I was on my way. A very pleasant and easy experience - thank you!
