I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in telecommunications-journalism. For many years I was a news reporter, producer, and anchor. I started out in college on radio working for both NPR and CBS News. After college, I made the switch to television working for both ABC and NBC, where I was part of a team that won numerous awards, including an Emmy. My next job brought me to Tucson, but I was feeling uneasy in journalism, and after a break, I decided to try my hand at car sales. I've been doing it ever since. It's fun, and I enjoy meeting all sorts of people and seeing all sorts of cool cars. I hope to meet you soon!

Friendly and Professional After 18 years, I purchased another new car. This time rather than brave the chaotic atmosphere at another car manufacturer, I tried Tucson Subaru. After 18 years, I purchased another new car. This time rather than brave the chaotic atmosphere at another car manufacturer, I tried Tucson Subaru. Kevin Gribble was very kind and patient explaining all the new features that have evolved over the past 18 years. He set me up with my phone connection and took great care overall. Even two weeks after my purchase when I inadvertently drained the battery, he came to the rescue, offering the roadside assistance number (and this on a Sunday). Kevin's your guy if your looking for an intelligent, patient and well versed professional! More

Hands down the very best vehicle purchasing experience ever! This past Saturday my husband decided to stop buy Tucson Subaru and see what Subaru is all about as neither of us had ever driven or even ridden in on This past Saturday my husband decided to stop buy Tucson Subaru and see what Subaru is all about as neither of us had ever driven or even ridden in one before. We had heard great things and wanted to see for ourselves. We pulled up and got out of our vehicle and my husband counted 3 – 2 – 1, waiting for the “vultures” to appear. They didn’t! We were able to look around for a little bit and acclimate ourselves before Kevin Gribble came over and introduced himself. As we were new to the brand, Kevin took time to show, explain and listen to our needs, interests and wants. We then proceeded to take a couple test drives. I really liked the Crosstrek so Kevin asked if we wanted to discuss pricing. We said sure and explained we had limited time as we had a family dinner to go to. We talked numbers and expected to be railroaded. That never happened! I decided I loved the 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek Special Edition of which they only had 2. We left with a handshake, lots of knowledge and time to think about a new major purchase. No pressure! Kevin was nice enough to call later Saturday night and say that someone else was interested in the special edition as well and would I like to put a deposit to hold it until Monday. We came back Monday to test drive it again and decided to purchase. Filled out paperwork, and we were off to the finance department where we met Tim Hanson. We were still waiting for the other shoe to drop so to speak. From previous experience with other dealerships around town the finance department is where bad things happen and you feel drained after you leave. Not so here at Tucson Subaru. Tim was so helpful, knowledgeable and completely genuine while going through the process and explaining the extras / options. We had the smoothest and believe it or not most enjoyable finance experience ever. We then met back up with Kevin who proceeded to show all the ins and outs of my new vehicle, hooked up my Bluetooth, downloaded my contacts and made sure I knew how to use it all. Getting ready to leave, feeling confident and super excited about my purchase I was given a dozen roses. I felt like a princess driving away in my new chariot! They were totally not necessary but what a nice touch. This is hands down the very best car buying experience we have ever had. Super easy and actually fun! We highly recommend you stop by Tucson Subaru and say hi to Kevin and Tim and see what Subaru is all about. More

SUPER! Like no other car buying experience before! My husband and I are in our 60's so we have bought a few cars over the years. After a lot of research on the web, we went in prepared for a hard sell My husband and I are in our 60's so we have bought a few cars over the years. After a lot of research on the web, we went in prepared for a hard sell especially since this is the only Subaru dealership in Tucson. My husband summed it up best, “There is no salesman at Tucson Subaru, just friendly people helping you buy a car.” Kevin Gribble just walked up talked with us a bit and then showed us the Forester first because he thought it fit better for what we wanted (a car to travel in that sits high, but has a smooth ride). Later on the way thru the lot to find the blue car I thought I wanted, he showed us all the color options on actual cars in the lot and I really liked the bronze one. But he went and found the blue one, pulled it up so we could do a side by side, etc. The paperwork was effortless, he quoted the best price he could do, with research on the web we knew it was a good one and he wrote everything up. Then came the dreaded meet the finance guy, only this time it wasn't!!!! Tim Hanson was amazing, he already had everything printed up for us except the actual costs, showed us what we could add on and gave recommendations including some where he simply said this is not worth the money. He was fun, happy, and obviously both Kevin and Tim take pride in doing a great job while remaining super friendly. I hope Subaru continues to make great cars because I see no reason to go anywhere else when we want another car. Tucson Subaru is the best!!! Kevin told me they are working hard to show that car buying should be a good experience, it shows! Thanks Tucson Subaru and a special thanks to Kevin and Tim. More

First-rate, A+ experience. The bar was set pretty high from dealing solely with a friend's Subaru dealership on the East Coast. I was accustomed to the "star" treatment at that The bar was set pretty high from dealing solely with a friend's Subaru dealership on the East Coast. I was accustomed to the "star" treatment at that dealership before moving to Arizona. I can honestly say Tucson Subaru and Kevin Gribble exceeded my expectations and raised that bar. I knew exactly what I wanted in terms of a vehicle and options. The treatment I received from everyone I met at this dealership was first-rate. The pre-sales and post-sales experience and process was smooth, professional, and simple. I easily recommend Kevin and Tucson Subaru and will gladly do business here again. More

Purchase of 2015 Legacy We worked with Kevin Gribble. We met with him first when our daughter was purchasing a vehicle and he is very knowledgeable and spent a great deal of We worked with Kevin Gribble. We met with him first when our daughter was purchasing a vehicle and he is very knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time with her to make sure she was happy and confident in her purchase. While she was looking we also were looking at a Legacy. Kevin was very patient as we went on numerous test drives and answered all our questions. Working with Kevin was the best experience we have had (and we've had a lot) with a car salesman. The whole process at Tucson Subaru was very friendly and efficient. Plus I love the vehicle and purchased it for all the safety features that are included that are extra on other vehicles. More
