Hi there, my name is Steve Fairbanks and I am a sales associate here at Serra Motors. The best thing about being in automotive sales is sharing the excitement with my customers as they buy a new car. I am relatively new to this job. I've worked in the service industry for most of my adult life and have had many unique experiences with waiting tables, bartending, and managing exciting bars and restaurants nationwide. Ultimately, the time was right to change gears! I feel incredibly fortunate to now be a part of the Subaru sales team at Serra motors. I am a service-oriented professional who values loyalty and trustworthiness. I owe each of my successes to my ability to listen, recognize my customers' needs and wants, and guide them through the purchase process with respect and kindness. I have had a few ironies, like joining the Marine Corps shortly after art school. Let's just say that I am not afraid to laugh at myself. I've also reconnected with my high school sweetheart; we've been married for over eight years. We love the home we've made for ourselves in the heart of Traverse City, and we love our three hilarious dogs: Ace, Charlie, and Pearl. I hope to meet you here in the dealership someday. I would love to get to know you and earn your business.

Very good. He kept us informed of the arrival time of our Crosstrek, answered any questions we had about the process, provided a loaner car when our possession of our vehicle was delayed, and arranged for the vehicle to be driven to our home.

Steven stayed in touch with us over several months as we debated our next purchase. The moment I reached out to look at a vehicle he was super responsive and worked to get a test drive set up that day, and stayed late to do all the paperwork. Everyone at the dealership was great to work with. Steve is straightforward and trustworthy - when we buy our next car I will reach out to him again!
