I bought a 2026 Subaru Crosstrek from Mike K. Mike was absolutely wonderful - he listened to everything I wanted in the Crosstrek and hooked me up with exactly what I was looking for. I am very much pleased with the 'new car shopping' experience and love my new car!! I highly recommend going to Mike - low pressure, so friendly, and I drove off with my new car feeling very happy. Thanks so much Mike! read more

When they were made aware of a problem we had after the purchase was complete. They did everything to make the situation right. I must say, I am incredibly impressed read more

I went here for a few maintenance things for upkeep. All went well, certainly a little expensive but what isn't these days. Was recommended $2,000 worth of service on top of what I needed done($400 for a battery alone), and when I took it home the transmission drain plug was loose to the touch! Not a good look, tell the mechanic to lay off the chronic. Brought it back and they fixed it but things like that shouldn't happen especially with transmission. This isn't mcdonalds where mistakes are expected this is mechanics working on machines that are driven on public roads, please take better care in the future. read more

I bought a 2022 Subaru Outback brand new and then a 2022 Subaru Ascent. Both have transmission issues. Less then 4 years old. Both bought at the same dealership. Never buying Subaru and never buying from McGovern again. Expensive lesson learned. read more

Backup sensor on Outback failed. There are 4 on the bumper. My independent auto repair said have to go to dealership as this is a type of electronic. Kept my car for 4 hrs then called and said they need to order part. Then also said I need 3 other services that I would never have them do so refused those. Always go to my less expensive knowledgeable and timely auto repair shop. Part took 4 days to come in. Though they said they would call me they didn't. I had to. Took the car again. After 4 hours they called and said it was an incorrect sensor. Have to order another one another 4 days. I did lose my patience' and said forget it you guys are ridiculous but then was told can't get money back for the incorrect part. They said this time it would only take an hour and that they wouldn't charge me labor for the day the part was wrong ( have to remove bumper). Went back third time and it did take only an hour. Bill for labor only he said cheerfully. Yes they had me prepay for the part $350 for ONE sensor. So yah. Labor bill $400+ so it's clear they did charge me for the previous labor. Lying. I bought my car from them. Will never ever return to this dealership for sales or service. They live up to the poor reputation that "car salesman " have. Disgusting. read more

We bought our second car from them this month. We had a trade in and we worked with our sales person, Cheryl, who was fabulous. In the end we were very pleased with the whole experience and love the new car!! Highly recommend this low pressure, friendly and service oriented dealership!!! read more

We didn't even buy a car there and they keep spam bombing us with calls. We block them, and they call from other numbers. It won't stop. Also, telling us our 10 year old car isn't safe (a 2014) for children in order to sell us on the "family angle makes us regret spending our time there. If you're looking for anything 8 years of age or older they do not sell it. read more

Rowan went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience at this dealership. He single-handedly made this experience 5 stars. His extensive knowledge about all the vehicles was impressive and he was able to answer every question we had. He was easy to talk with and compassionate about our needs and gave us the time and space we needed to make a sound decision. Even after we had agreed on a car, he continued to communicate and work with us on multiple concerns (no fault of his own). He was always patient and solution oriented. The car buying process can be stressful and Rowan definitely made it much easier for us. read more

I lived in South Boston for most of my life and therefore, drove USED cars (IYKYK). I moved to southern Maine a few years ago and this week, determined it was time to retire my 2010 Honda Civic, and to buy a new car (my first brand new car). Cody Mundo reached out to me on Tuesday after an e-inquiry into a crosstrek. He was chill and attentive during the call so I headed over to the dealership to meet him. I fell in love with a Crosstrek sport (black with gold trim: GO BRUINS!). Cody was wonderful, knowledgeable, and not pushy and the car was exactly what I hoped it would be. I also spoke with Christine (I believe she is a sales manager) and she was funny and answered a bunch of additional financing questions. I put a deposit down and the next day, Cody emailed me a pic of "my car" ready to be picked up. I met with Kyle, another manager, put in my financing application (3.9% is a great rate!) and drove my new Bruins-mobile home. The next morning, Cody checked in to see how my drive home was and how much I am loving my car. He made it clear that I should feel free to call/email/visit him for additional training on the features or if I have questions. I will absolutely recommend Cody Mundo and the great folks at McGovern to my family and friends in search of a car. read more

McGovern Subaru - This Bruins mobile is all mine! Steve, getting the tour from Sales Superhero Cody Mundo. - Car Dealers Near Me - Newington, New Hampshire

Got their D service ($654). I live in 2 states and asked about break replacement which didn't need to be done immediately. I got a quote from my tire guy in locale which was $200 less than McGovern's quote. McGovern service guy said he'd see what he could do and said he'd cut $100 less for brake replacement, so I accepted that since I was there and having car serviced anyway. Meanwhile McGovern emailed a voucher offering $100 off of any service job over $200. They did not honor that. I would have passed on the brake replacement getting it $200 less elsewhere and had the $100 discount. They got an extra $500 brake order from me. Jay weaseled out of making this right with a "this is above my pay grade" lame excuse for squeezing out of the promised $100 reduction. Exeter Subaru now gets my business. read more

Usef was a nice kid who kept the process moving along. Peter in Finance was the same. I have had all sorts of fancy cars for $60k and like my new Subaru better and it was $39k. Not to knock the bad reviewers but the car business is a grind and it's not pretty at times but I buy cars for work once a month and this crew has it down as good as they can. Good job McGovern Subaru ! read more

I cannot give the McGovern Subaru team enough kudos. Nate Singh was incredibly helpful, respectful, and willing to both listen to my preferences and propose compromises that were in my best interest. Peter Cantt made financing easy and understandable. In multiple visits, I did not see anyone who had that "frustrated in a dealership" look. Highly recommend! read more

From the first smile and handshake as I entered the showroom, Dave Azzo and his team at McGovern Subaru made buying my Subaru a fantastic experience. Everyone was helpful, professional, and very friendly. My new car is exactly what I wanted, but more important having a first-rate service department so close to home made this purchase one of my smartest ever. Highly recommend. 12/10 PS The dealership features a beautifully appointed do-it-yourself "Dawg Spaw" with a comfy waiting area separate from the showroom. Dog lovers take note! read more

I was back again today for my oil change and tire rotation along with complimentary 25 point inspection. My service advisor Anthony Polito went above and beyond in helping me with my service. I knew I would be needing tires soon and he researched the make and model of the tires I wanted. Their price was very competitive to other "tire shops" but I don't mind spending a little extra due to the service department being excellent. Dealers can sell cars but it's the service department that brings in the money. Keep up the great work Anthony. See you when my tires come in read more

Rowan Heard, you are the greatest salesman. We spent almost the day, with you showing us the new 2025 Subaru's and we know you were very patient with s and sowed great respect for this older couple. The dealership made a sale that day because of you and finding us a 2024 Red Outback Subaru. My husbands favorite color and the year he wanted. Our first Subaru. Love the car and you stayed with us trough to the negotiations to buy our car. Thank you Rowan and your dealership you work for. This will probably be our last car and you will always stand out as the best salesman we have ever had Lorraine & Zollie we gave you a 5 star review read more

Based on the aggravation a friend went through I went to another dealership. We are both Subaru fans! She had issues with a brand new Subaru from the time she left the lot, she finally got so fed up she bought another make. Pushing on selling! read more

Purchased 2025 Outback here in July. Ask for Rowan who will take you through the whole process

Find somewhere else to buy a Subaru. I worked for Liberty Mutual and this was a recommended dealership. I spoke with HR about this and True Car and they are both having this dealership removed for any recommendations. I've been trying to cancel an insurance policy added to my vehicle since I first purchased it in March 2022 and have gotten no where. This specific location won't even respond to the corporate office (I filed a complaint). I was going to have leather seats added to the vehicle and I told them I wanted a sunroof. The sales person said it's super easy to do... I spoke with a mechanic and another dealership - both stated NO DO NOT LET THEM CUT A SUNROOF INTO THE VEHICLE. I decided to cancel having any add ons and was refunded but was never refunded for the taxes I had to pay when I registered the vehicle (a little more than $100). I'm also continuing to pay interest on an insurance policy I've been trying to have removed from my policy since the start (I have proof of this with the dates and times I've continued to have it removed). The policy is $2,500 and I'm paying about 3% for my interest on my loan (roughly 75$ per month) and I've had the vehicle since March. In total I've paid nearly a whole months car payment just on interest for a policy I never wanted. I plan to take further action regarding the matter as this has been the absolute worst experience of my life. Thanks McGovern Subaru of Newington for ruining my first car buying experience. read more

Super dishonest. They quoted me an amount that they would buy my Subaru for, said they would mail me the check. They didn't. When I called they acted like it was a surprise and thankfully, the salesperson remembered me and agreed to get a check for me. Asked me to come by and pick it up. When I came to pick it up he still needed to get it signed. They had NO intention of paying me until I pushed the issue. Now I'm on hold with the insurance company because they didn't relinquish the plates even though I took the car off the road with the RMV. In the past, when I've leased from them, they've tacked on extra costs at signing without telling me, saying they had to because of my credit (which is in the 700's). When I warn them that I'm not buying under those circumstances, they act like I'm being a whiner. Won't return. read more

Christian Morillo is great and will go to lengths to ensure customers have a pleasant experience. In our case, Christian was crucial to rectifying the situation we encountered with another employee here. Avoid Cheryl Pierro at all costs. Go to Christian or another one of their sales reps. Myself and my boyfriend were purchasing our first car together (used 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee) and the entire process with Cheryl was a train wreck. She continuously belittled us and made us feel as if we were an inconvenience to her. We be having a conversation and she would excuse herself and go have a smoke (happened numerous times). We paid to have a runner go to the RMV for us and experienced some delays here. She didn't know the status of the runner, just that we didn't have plates yet. At one point she told Adam (my bf) "honey, why don't you do yourself a favor and give the RMV a call to ask what the wait time is." We didn't have a car to trade in so we were arranging borrowing cars of friends/family to make the 2 hour drive up to NH to obtain the vehicle. On top of work schedules, this obviously required some coordination on our end and we were simply trying to get a status update on the license plates so we knew when we could plan to make the drive back up. She ended up knowing Adams phone number and started ignoring any calls he made to her for a status update. Finally, we get word that the plates will arrive by 8am or 12pm Friday during the scheduled FedEx times. Plates, again, didn't arrive on time, and Cheryl was out of office that day so getting status updates was even more of a hassle. Cheryl was unable to answer simple questions like "what are these two recalls on the car for?" Or "what is the difference between the Laredo and Limited you have on the lot?" We also reiterated to Cheryl that we had 7 days from purchase to get the car registered so we needed it to be done by Friday afternoon. She told us "oh don't worry about that, cops will be lenient because of COVID." What?!!? Yes when I get pulled over for no registration I'll just let the cop know the sales person said it's fine so I'll be on my way now. Not the appropriate answer.... Our experience with Cheryl was incredibly unprofessional, upsetting, and overall atrocious. Buying your first car is supposed to be one of the most exciting experiences but she ruined that for us and made it a hassle. Everyone I told about this situation (friends/family) were appalled we still purchased the vehicle. Had this not been the exact Jeep we were searching for, we would've walked out. I apologize that this positive rating for Christian has to be tied to such a terrible experience with Cheryl, but luckily Christian was able to make the tail end of the process a bit more positive for us. He reassured that if we needed anything in the future to connect with him directly, so that we could avoid future encounters with Cheryl. read more

McGovern Subaru - 2017 used Jeep Grand Cherokee - Car Dealers Near Me - Newington, New Hampshire

What a refreshing experience in a market that is not a buyers market. A.P. reached out to me letting me know that a car I had inquired about was available. A.P. was thorough, polite and informative. Kyle was a joy to deal with, very polite and the deal was effortless. The finance person who I unfortunately can't recall his name, was the best finance guy I've dealt with at a car dealership. Great demeanor and no pressure! They had a better price than any Subaru dealership in the state. read more

As a young female who typically gets ripped off at dealerships, the guys at McGovern Subaru were honest with me. Told me the rear brakes looked great - while another mechanic told me the day before they were so close to failing inspection. Glad I could trust and was respected by the Saturday crew here. read more

The salesman was just so rude... sugary sweet until I said I wasn't going to buy it for that price and then completely switched to treating me like I was stupid. Said Kelly blue book doesn't have any cars so it's inaccurate, and that I don't know what I'm talking about and it's his job so he does. If we have different ideas of what's fair that's fine, you can just say that. You don't need to be mean about it. By the way, the price I was given after my trade in (which was priced about 1000 less than kbb trade in value but was supposedly doing me a solid) was 1000 dollars more than the ticket price of the car. How does that work??? And that's supposed to be fair? They just added on extra things to get even more money when I said I didn't think the price was fair. The manager was really nice. Didn't seem to care that his employer was a butthead, but I guess that's part of the job description. I bought my last car in Waterville Maine and I would go all the way back there before I gave this guy a commission off me. read more

This dealership sold a 2015 Subaru Forester with a bent exhaust along with other problems. Upon pick-up, the car failed its own inspection. They repaired the problem and, once I took the car to a more reputable Subaru dealership and competitor, it was clear that McGovern Subaru Acton was fraudulent in giving a passing grade to a car with a bent exhaust missing mounting brackets, and a number of other problems. Bring a mechanic with you. Lawsuit is in progress. read more

Save yourself the hassle and go to Exeter Subaru. McGovern Salesman greeted me without a mask, told me there were no cars available in the color and make I wanted in all of the Northeast - tried to push me into a vehicle I didn't want so he could get it off the lot. Never tried. Was vague about numbers on multiple occasions. Said he would buy out my lease but then my quoted monthly payment jumped by $100 because they were "making payments on my behalf". Was insulted and disrespected. Told to not get upset so easily and to go take care of my lease myself (????) Went to Exeter Subaru and they got me the exact make and color I wanted in under an hour. Worst customer service experience I've ever had. read more

Nice attitude from salesman....until the final negotiations. I made a very fair offer on a used Subaru, and he started putting high dollar "dealership necessary" rope-a-dope add ons which increased their price tremendously. I was willing to buy it at their asking price....then the salesman got obstanant. I left and bought a better Outback from Seacoast Auto & Truck in Hampton Falls, NH which is newer, better and cheaper than McGoverns offering. Don't waste your time, or money with this dealership. read more

Never dealt with Sales but the service department was deceptive/dishonest. Doubt they did 1/2 of what they were supposed to do. Subaru Recommended Services were twisted into their own with cost added despite Subaru saying they were included. Disorganized, dishonest and did not provide breakdown of work done, only that it was their own "dealer menu" $271.00 worth. Stay away - go to a reputable service subaru dealer. Only 2nd visit - will never go back and will make sure others are aware. read more

A follow up to my previous review of McGovern. I sent them all the information about my close call and they were fairly responsive to discuss and ultimately reimburse me for the emergency repair I had to have done as well as for the work that led to the incident. They did deflect full responsibility by saying that they had Subaru look at the photos I sent and that Subaru commented that the posts looked corroded. That begs the question, if the posts looked corroded why didn't someone mention that? It also didn't explain why the front side drivers lug nuts were also loose and almost falling off. In the end, there is no HARD PROOF that they were responsible but since they were the last people to touch the wheels they agreed to step up and do the right thing in this instance. I am grateful that they followed through without too much hassle. I'm still terrified to drive on the highway, though... read more

See all

McGovern Suburu sucks. They just crapped on a customer who has already bought two cars from them-they refused a third ELEVEN DAYS after letting her off the lot AND after she made another payment on the leased one she was trading in on this deal. Leave their sales practices and customer service on this one aside for a minute. When they brought her leased car back around front today to give back to her since 'the deal was off', her name was smeared all over the windshield (they didn't bother to clean it up) AND her battery was dead. Screw you McGovern. You not only lost a good customer but a bunch of potential others as well. read more

Love! Love! Love! It's like a family! We'll never buy another car elsewhere! The professionalism, the cleanliness, the smiles, the helpful team! My husband said it was the very best service he's ever had - goodbye Volvo - we've found a "new home". Cheers to all of the staff and, super management! Richard, Rye, NH Happy Holidays! read more

We just purchased a 2023 Outback Wilderness. It was a very nice and relaxing transaction that could have been quite stressful. We had a hurdle to get over and McGovern Subaru was very patient and understanding. We had purchased 4 other Subarus in the past from another local dealer so to be honest, I was quite hesitant to switch dealerships. Teagan was who I first had interaction with over the phone and she helped with the agreed "out the door" sales price. Dave Azzo was who I met with in person to wrap up the sale and there was NO PRESSURE to purchase accessories , extended warranties or any other add ons. He took his time to go over the car and answer all my questions. Christian Morillo was the finance manager that handled the financial transaction of the car purchase. Christian was very patient and understanding, to say the least. Evertone was very professional and friendly. The vehicle has a minor scratch that the dealership is scheduling a repair for. I highly recommend McGovern Subaru if you are in the market for a car. read more

Went to the dealership to browse for a used car. Went there and told the representative what I wanted a pretty much told me they didn't have what I wanted and to look elsewhere. Only giving this 2 stars because they never tried to manipulate me into buying something I dont want or need. read more

Honestly the worst car buying experience of my life. I went into this dealership very excited as it was the first car I have ever purchased and that was a mistake. I should have seen the red flag to begin with, my partner and I walked around for 40 minuets before anyone spoke to us and asked if we needed help. long story short I did purchase a car here and was able to drive it for one day as It showed to be defective. we brought it in and they could not find any problems with it. drove it for a day and it seemed to have the same problem so we brought it back,12 days later and no one has reached out to me, no one remembers what car I have or where it is and no one has looked at it. I am a very dissatisfied customer and will be in touch with consumer protection. DON"T GO HERE read more

Alex was an outstanding salesman! Our daughter bought a used 2016 Ford F-150 from him. The dealership was excellent in taking care of a few issues that arose with the vehicle. The service department was very accommodating. read more

Had a great experience buying a used car from Cheryl at McGovern Subaru. She helped me get into exactly what I wanted. She had been recommended to me by a friend and I highly recommend. Super friendly and helpful, 5 stars for great customer service and knowledge too. The whole experience was easy, no issues. read more

I purchased my first Subaru from McGovern Subaru and had an excellent experience. I used the internet via Consumers Union to find and price the Outback, and McGovern sent me a quote on the exact car I wanted within 10 minutes for a great price. I looked at the car, they handled everything else from Subaru Financing, Extended warranty, transfer of plates and registration and I was able to drive the car home that afternoon with NO HASSLES, NO SURPRISES, NO UPSELLING. Thanks to Kyle & Bri. read more

I had bought my previous car from Ocean Subaru back in 2013. Just for giggles my husband and I stopped by McGovern to see what they had for newer models of the same vehicle (Crosstrek). My car has less than 45,000 miles so I knew I should get a decent trade in. Within 5 minutes I found an exact replica of my current car but with more bells and whistles. I ended up trading my car in for the new car and lowered my monthly payment by over $75/month. The only downside is McGovern doesn't do the free oil changes any more. But seeing as I barely put any miles on my car I can manage (my car is almost a year old and I have about 6,000 miles on it). My husband bought his car there as well and he's down there now looking for a used car for our son. Hopefully he will find something that meets the needs without breaking the bank. read more

The windshield of my 2016 Legacy cracked. I found a service bulletin on line describing the issue and brought it to a local Subaru dealer in the Portland Maine area. The service manager would not submit a claim to Subaru and denied coverage. McGovern service agreed that the crack was identical to the images in the service bulletin and repaired the defect at no cost to me. Every interaction at this dealership has been professional. Well worth the time driving past competitors. read more

Dishonorable and unprofessional, to say they lacked in customer service skills would be an understatement. They will also gouge you for prices. Highly recommend anywhere but here. read more

We found the Jeep that we wanted on the Auto Trader website and their website which had to be an automatic. We checked with the dealer to make sure that it was still available since it was a long drive to get there. When we arrived at the dealership we found out that the Jeep was a standard (and the auto information on the window sticker said that it was an automatic). The salesman was polite but the attitude clearly was too bad and not their or the dealer's problem or responsibility. Too add insult to injury, we got an email the next day from the General Sales Manager who clearly had no clue what had happened. I would never shop there again or tell anyone that it was a good place to shop. read more
