Car care tips to save you money and increase your trade-in value

Put frankly, simple maintenance tasks keep your Subaru in top running condition which ultimately saves you money, because timely maintenance does more than keep your Subaru running smoothly; it can increase your car's trade-in value, improve its mileage, and save you time and costly repairs down the road.

Coolant

Check the level of coolant in your radiator by looking at the coolant overflow tank. Maintaining proper antifreeze will keep your engine cool in hot weather and prevent damage when temperatures fall as low as 40 below zero.

The fruits of Share the Love ripen at The Grand

So happy to give out some big news and a (literally and figuratively) big check to The Grand on the opening night of Wizard of Oz!

During the Subaru Share the Love Event, Subaru donates $250 for each new Subaru vehicle sold or leased to the customer's choice of one of four national or participating retailers’ local charities. We love working with the Grand. They've been wonderful partners, and they are continuously doing great things in our community, so we leapt on the chance to let our guests give them a little love, too!

The Employee Strikes in Slacks

A long time ago (Tuesday) in a candlestick bowling alley really close by...

Rotary International's goal of ending polio is fantastic, and every year it gets closer and closer to reality. When we found out there was a bowling night to fundraise for the effort, Stanley Subaru had to put together a couple teams. Nothing goes together quite like friendly trash talk and philanthropy.

We always love showing up to support the people in our community working toward such noble causes. And everyone had a blast remembering how bad they were at candlestick bowling.

What do I need to know about shocks and struts?

Shocks and struts are the bits of your car that keep you from scraping the the bottom of your car on the road but also make it so you don't feel every little bump. Without shocks and struts, your vehicle would continually bounce and bound down the road. While it looks fun in rally video, experiencing it going to work is a real bummer.

Since winter is the time of frost heaves and infinite potholes, it's a good idea to check that shocks and struts are in top condition during the winter months.

Bird rescue at Stanley Subaru

We heard a bird bump into the glass, and it was a matter of seconds before Spencer and Katie ran out to check on everyone. Thankfully, this white-throated sparrow was only stunned. It showed no mobility injuries, but it certainly sustained a good wallop to its head. Spencer and Katie stuck around to make sure it was protected, rested, and warm until it was ready to fly off on its own (which it did after about five minutes).
