"Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable. I love my cross trek. I got just the car I wanted with all the safety perks and remote start which I hadn't even thought of. The free rentals when you bring your car in for service allow you to get your errands done while your car gets done. Best customer service ever. Thanks a bunch.

"Our longtime friend Frank Bellinger (Finance manager) who has helped us buy many of our vehicles, unfortunately, was ill and unable to assist us this time. He kindly referred us to Business Manager Peter Kuchler for our car buying experience. Peter was very knowledgeable and patient. We are die-hard Nissan fans but Peter took extra time to explain all the different Subaru models and test drive them. He carefully listened to what we thought were" casual comments/observations" and he recommended the Forester. When we test drove the Forester, it didn't take long for us to realize his recommendation was exactly what we were looking for. We so appreciated his calm and friendly demeanor. We did not feel rushed or pressured to buy. We also noticed how respectful and polite Peter was in his dealings with other staff members. In today's world when good manners and common courtesy seem in short supply, it was refreshing to experience these values at your dealership. Incidentally, we drove 72 miles to do business there. Both Frank and Peter are assets to your dealership and we sincerely extend our heartfelt thanks."

Retailer Garden Expands, Welcomes Foul Friends

What started as a small-scale retailer garden has grown to more than 5,000 square feet in the last six years. It also welcomed new friends this spring—six laying hens with their own Suba-Coop.

The garden, started in 2015 at Montgomery Subaru in Montgomery, AL, was the idea of Karen Danielson, parts manager. It’s tended by the parts and detail departments, and the bounty has included tomatoes, cabbage, pumpkins, cantaloupe, eggplant, and much more. The produce is shared with employees, customers, and a local food bank.
