Stanley Subaru is once again supporting Down East cancer patients with Test Drives for the Cure.

For every test drive taken in October, Stanley Subaru will donate $10 to the care of patients at the Mary Dow Center for Cancer Care, a department of Maine Coast Memorial Hospital.

No purchase is necessary, and the money will be donated in your name. This program has been running since 2009, and directly benefits local cancer patients. Test Drives for the Cure has raised over $10,000 for patient care in Hancock County so far!

 

The Subaru Guaranteed Trade-In Program guarantees the minimum trade-in amount owners will receive for their qualified Subaru vehicle when a new later model year Subaru vehicle is purchased. The GTP Value is updated monthly and is available for 6 years from the original vehicle warranty start date. Subaru is extending this offer not just six years back, but all the way back to 2008 for our guests!

 

There are lots of different bells and whistles that are available from every manufacturer, so to try to make it easier to tell which car will fit you best, we have this base model to base model comparison of the 2017 Legacy, Accord, Camry, Fusion, and Sonata. Everyone will let you add more, but comparing base models will help you figure out which vehicle really has the best value. Find out which car works for you!

 

We want to thank Dave Cookson for his consistently outstanding work for us as a service writer. Despite all our best efforts to keep him here forever, Dave retired.

On Thursday, we had a cookout for him to visit with us and our guests one more time. There were lots of hugs, and almost as many goodbyes. Dave was quick to remind everyone that attended that he'll be back plenty; he owns a Subaru, after all, and will need it serviced.

 

Time to trade in or get a new lease or just get another car, huh? There are three easy things you can do to make your life a little easier when it comes to making a decision.

1. Compare different models

Since you probably know what you want in terms of the size and shape of the vehicle (you might even have a particular model in mind), check out some of the comparisons out there that compare similar types. You may be a diehard Subaru fan (thank you), but you might find some features on another vehicle that surprise you…

Stanley Subaru introduces Subaru Express Service.

Get your basic maintenance without an appointment!

We are hard at work expanding our service facilities to get you faster, better service, we are excited to let you know that you no longer need an appointment to get service the moment you need it! With Subaru Express Service, you can pull right in and get an oil change!

You don't need an appointment, just pull right up, and Heather will get you started!

We are still working to get our space at the annex all the way where we want it, but we're getting close!

We not only have our lifts and everything, our reconditioning department has gotten to work! (Which is good. The old reconditioning building doesn't exist anymore.) Get more information about our remodel and check out all the timelapse videos.

 

The Outback is a great vehicle with a devoted following, but Subaru isn't the only company making wagons, crossovers, or small SUV's. (What you call them depends on who you ask.) Every year there's a new crop of models from other companies to choose from. We put together a comparison of standard features available on the base models for the Subaru Outback, Audi allroad, Volvo V60, and Ford Edge.

 

2016 Subaru Outback

 

Stanley Subaru has been part of the Hancock County community for sixteen years, and we are committed to showing our community as much love and support as we have received. That's why Stanley Subaru supports arts programs, education, animal welfare, and local healthcare. Acadia National Park directly impacts all of these areas and has given Stanley Subaru, the state of Maine, and our country so much in the past 100 years that we want to do our part to ensure its success for another 100 and beyond.

 

The 2017's will be coming at the end of the year, but the 2016 model year has seen some small cars with pep that are definitely worth your time. There are lots of different bells and whistles that are available from every manufacturer, so to try to make it easier to tell which car will fit you best, we have this base model to base model comparison of the Impreza, Focus, Civic, and Corolla. Find out which car works for you!

Dear Mr. Patterson King:

I want to thank you personally for the very generous donation of your time and technical talents in support of our 25th Anniversary 10k/5k benefit race. Your many hours of help with Facebook and Pay Pal and more was invaluable. We are lucky, indeed, to have businesses near and far so willing to help us in this effort. The work you did with our two 'tech experts' helped us find new ways to meet expenses and make this important fundraiser a success. It is especially meaningful because our volunteers don't cover Hancock County, although…

   

Our efforts to eliminate wait times are underway!

We mentioned last time that we are looking to open more space to increase our service access. We love our guests, but we know you want to be able to get service without an appointment, and we are taking concrete steps* to make that happen. We have begun the work to expand service access by the annex.

 

 

May is Teacher Appreciation Month, and last week was Teacher Appreciation Week. We have celebrated Teacher Appreciation Month for years at Stanley Subaru. We believe that great teachers are not only inspirational figures for students, but they are keystones in our community.
 

As part of a humble thank you to the incredible teachers in our community, we are providing complimentary oil changes and 27-point inspections to them this month. Teachers received a small note with how to redeem the offer at their convenience along with flowers and balloons arranged by The Bud Connection.
