Hey everyone.... I just moved to Albuquerque from New Orleans about 2 weeks ago. Was wondering if there were any other people on the boards from this area? I'm in the process of trying to buy an 06 WRX wagon and was wondering if anyone had opinions of the area dealerships. I know there are two.... I think they are Garcia and Galles. There is also another dealership in Santa Fe. Any experiences with them?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice. I look forward to seeing you guys/gals on the streets with my new WRX.

The guys at Garcia were nice to me on a test drive.

Welcome to Albq...

I can't speak for the sales department at Garcia, as I bought my car out of state, just before moving here. I can, however, vouch for their service department. I drive between 30 and 35k each year, so it's seen them for plenty of maintenance, plus a few repairs. Each time, they've been absolutely top notch, quick, honest, and fairly flexible in scheduling. They even took my side when dealing with SOA getting some brake work covered out of warranty.

Though my car is stock, I've also heard that as dealerships go they're pretty mod friends.

I haven't dealt with Galles, as Garcia is close to my house, nor have I dealt with the one in S. Fe.

Good luck.

I'd recommend Garcia - their parts and service departments are great!
