Dave Wright Subaru

I highly recommend Dave Wright Subaru, and especially my salesperson, Michael Trent. I was visiting friends in Cedar Rapids and decided to take the short jaunt over to Marion to visit the local Subaru dealer. And my experience was a breath of fresh air.

Michael had a nice conversation with me, culling the details about what I was looking for in a car, and sharing a few laughs. Then he showed me the models I was considering, sharing details about their capabilities and their features. Even though I'd been shopping for cars for a couple of months, he managed to teach me a few things I hadn't gathered for myself. It was definitely time well spent, helping determine which car best fit my wants and needs, and I had a good time in the process.

I also got to meet Tanner Wright, the business manager of Dave Wright Subaru. He and Michael were anxious to answer any questions for me, but didn't press me for an immediate purchase. Nevertheless, when I was ready to buy, they made me a better offer than I hoped to get.

I can definitely see why this dealership is growing by leaps and bounds. I'll be back to talk to them when my wife is ready to update her vehicle, and I'd recommend Michael Trent at Dave Wright Subaru to anyone in the market for a great vehicle and an enjoyable purchasing experience.

We just had a great experience purchasing a vehicle and you will as well at Dave Wright Subaru. Tyler (General Manager), Tanner and Tim (Business Managers) and Blane (salesperson) were all awesome to visit and work with while my wife and I were at the dealership. I know they advertise to have the Wright Car at the Wright Place at the Wright Price. However, I would like to add that you can also plan on getting treated in the Wright way! It’s an impressive experience! I had the opportunity to travel out of town the next day and really enjoyed how my new ride handled on the highway.

I had a service done on my Outback at Dave Wright Subaru and it went great. Jolene at the service desk was an absolute joy to work with. Very clear communications, timeline was exactly as stated and they had a nice space to fire up the laptop and get some work done while waiting.

I'm ready when the time comes to use the advice from Michael Trent and buy a Subaru this year! Thank you so much for the in person tour, even though it was snowing today man. I can't wait for summer! lol

I am honestly shocked that I am giving a 5 star review to a car dealership!
We worked directly with Joe Dereus and couldn't have been happier with our experience. Joe asked questions and listened to what we were looking for and he delivered perfectly! We were able to get a great vehicle and we honestly had a pretty fun time doing so! Everyone there was very friendly, and the whole experience was great! I would highly recommend letting Joe help you find a vehicle!

I worked with Caleb today (12/12) to get a rear wheel bearing replaced. Caleb was very knowledgeable, and kept me updated on the progress of the bearings. He has always been nice to work with as he makes service appointments easy and stress free!

If you want a great place to buy a car, this is it!
We bought our new Subaru Ascent Touring car from Carter 2 months ago. If you want great service after the sell, find Carter at Dave Wright Subaru and buy your car him. Ever follow up appointment that we have had, Carter was there making sure things were getting taken care of plus follow up text and phone calls to see if we had any concerns.

Carter’s great costumer service came over the resent holiday weekend. We were traveling on Interstate 70 between Columbus, Ohio and Dayton, Ohio on Sunday the 30th. At 70+ mph, our left rear tire blew out. Because of the safety features of our new Subaru, our car preformed beautifully without loosing any control or hazard to anyone else, we were able to to cascade 4 lanes of traffic and safely park on the shoulder of the Interstate. We pushed the SOS button and we were immediately greeted with an operator that took care of our needs.

I then texted Carter on Sunday afternoon not thinking that I would hear from him until Tuesday because of the long holiday weekend. To my surprise, Carter called and wanted to make sure we were alright. I asked him what do we do now regarding warranty repairs to the tire and to have our vehicle checked out. Carter said, “I don’t know how to proceed, but I will be on it first thing Tuesday morning when everyone is back at work”

Tuesday morning I received a text shortly after 8:00 am from Carter.

“I'm talking with Tate in our service department to see what we need to do, I should have an answer here in a few minutes”

And in a few minutes, Carter directed us to the Subaru dealership in Dayton, Ohio with the proper information to get us back on the road home. Thank you Carter and thank you Dave Wright Subaru!

This is our 2nd purchase from Dave Wright with JP with an assist with Joe D. (actually Joe did most of the work 😉) It’s always a seamless process from start to finish as I always go in with realistic expectations. It’s a no hassle and fun experience! You feel like part of the team with an end goal of getting you into a car that you want not what you have to settle for. I will always recommend Dave Wright and will be back in another 4 years when our middle child needs a car or we need an upgrade! Thanks again JP, Joe, Mike and Tanner!!!

My sales consultant, Jaden, was so very pleasant and kind in the way she spent her time with me! Her knowledge of specifics related to the Forester was amazing!!
I am praying that she is successful in all her career opportunities and life!!

I had the BEST experience dealing with Wright Subaru especially with Kaila Tiedeman! I was in the market for a Crosstrek and she found me one that is absolutely a perfect fit for me! She also did a follow up showing me all the bells and whistles this vehicle had! (I previously had driven a 2010 Rogue for 12 years; I needed help!) I’d also like to give a shout out to Carter Leavesseur who also assisted me. It’s tough teaching an old dog new tricks so I needed all the help I could get!
I definitely will recommend this dealership and especially Kaila to anyone!

I had a GREAT time at Dave Wright Subaru! I had some not-so-cool experiences at other dealerships, but the entire team was wonderful (even though my insurance was dragging everything out). Bassel was excellent -- he showed me only the cars I wanted, didn't try to upsell to something I didn't want, and answered all of my questions. Definitely recommending to anyone I know looking for a different vehicle!

Max and the whole team was great to work with. Answered my questions. Got me in the new Crosstrek. Better service and pricing than the other Subaru Dealership here in Iowa. I will definitely consider going there again for my newer vehicles.

This review is long overdue, but well warranted. Last summer, we experienced a double-flat in the middle of nowhere IA on our road trip from WI to CO with our completely full vehicle--three adults, baby, toddler, dog, car-top, the whole works. This happened at 10am on a Saturday and apparently all IA shops close at noon and don't reopen until Monday. Being unable to locate a shop with tires that would fit our vehicle within an hour's tow (and cab ride), Steve and his team (Kyle and Anthony) willingly agreed to stay until we arrived (an hour late) to fix our alignment issue and get us four new tires to get us back on the road. They were all very accommodating and happy to help and we couldn't be more grateful.

I wanted to take a moment to give a huge THANK YOU to Samantha Reu. Samantha went out of her way to assist me in learning the ins and outs of my new Subaru. My only issue is that I wasn't able to complete the satisfaction survey for her. The powers that be should know what an asset they have in Samantha. By far and away, she was the best person to work with through the entire process....and I never met her until after the car was purchased.

If she were a sales consultant, I would recommend her to anyone who asked about Dave Wright Subaru.

I spent months waiting and watching for the one. I had a list of must haves and knew what I wanted. Brandon Miller had my back and called me every time something close to what I wanted came on the lot. Then one night, it happened. Brandon told me I just had to come in and drive this car. He was right. As soon as I was on the road, I knew it was perfect. Brandon and Matt Hastings made the process of trading in my minivan a breeze and answered all my questions. Today I'm happily driving my 2017 Subaru WRX and the Wright team has still been there every time I have a question or concern. Thanks again, Brandon and Matt!

My husband and I just purchased a 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness from Dave Wright Subaru. We absolutely love it! We worked with Carter. He is excellent, professional, and honest. He was very knowledgable about the vehicle. He also was great with our two kids, ages 6 and 7. Everyone was so helpful and patient. It was the first time I have ever experienced a dealership having a place for children to play. It made it so much easier as a parent to enjoy the whole car buying experience. There were no gimmicks or tricks. They are honest and caring. We felt confident in everyone we worked with from Carter to Tim to Kieth (and the kind gentlemen in the snappy blazer who showed us where to find the bathrooms). Definitely recommend this dealership and will be back when the time comes to buy our future Subarus.

Oh and every-time we tell someone that we bought a Subaru they say "Excellent choice, I hear they are the best".

Our experience with leasing a car at Dave Wright Subaru in Hiawatha was a pleasant one. A large part was because Katie Koopman (Delivery Specialist) who did a great job walking us through the process. She did awesome with answering all our questions before and after the leasing was complete. I would definitely recommend Katie Koopman as your next Delivery Specialist.

Amazing customer service in the Service Department!! Everyone is so friendly and helpful! The atmosphere is bright and comfortable. Andrew was especially professional and helpful!! Great experience!!

This was an absolutely amazing car buying experience!!

I recently purchased a new Subaru Forester from Dave Wright Subaru, and I cannot be happier with the buying experience! The team there are kind, respectful and an absolute joy to work with!

They made sure I felt confident in the purchasing of the car, have called multiple times to check in and see how things are going and offer any kind of assistance even though I live an hour away from the dealership.

If you're looking for any car in the Cedar Rapids area, I would highly recommend Dave Wright for a car buying experience that is kind, welcoming and all around fantastic!

Bassel went above and beyond my expectations in not only in the sale but afterwards as well. I cannot say enough good things about how he made this buying process so easy. I’ll give him a 5 star plus. Also, Tanner in finance did an amazing job. Awesome team they have here.
