The Smart Choice!
We invited people to celebrate the success of Share the Love with The Grand this week. Grand executive director Nick Turner, Grand board members, and every guest who purchased a new Subaru during Share the Love were welcome to join us in appreciating our guests' accomplishment.
Stanley Subaru and our guests Wednesday presented Nick with a check for $15,000 raised through Share the Love.

What, um, what is the word for when you're wildly jealous your boss got to preview the Ascent in person? Mark got to check out a preproduction model of the amazing 3rd-row Ascent.
As thanks for their outstanding service, we're partnering with At Home to provide complimentary detailing to engaged volunteers. “At Home does really meaningful work,” says Mark Politte, owner of Stanley Subaru. “These volunteers spend quality time in their vehicles with members of At Home. Their work helps people continue to live in their homes while remaining independent. It's pretty remarkable, and we want to thank them with something dedicated drivers can appreciate—a thoroughly clean interior and exterior so they can have a beautiful, comfortable driving experience.”
Here at Stanley Subaru, we care about your safety. That's why at every service visit, even just a simple oil change, your vehicle gets a complete 27-Point Inspection. Every vehicle, every visit.
Our 27-Point Inspection covers everything from Emergency Brake Adjustments to the tread depth of each of your tires. This thorough exam provides peace of mind that your vehicle is safe to travel the roads.
The Subaru Ascent is Subaru's largest vehicle ever, the Ascent features three full rows, seats up to eight, has 5000-pounds of towing capacity, grips the road with Subaru's unmatched Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 8.7" of ground clearance and is powered by a 2.4-liter turbo Subaru boxer engine. This all-new vehicle will be U.S. built to take you where you want to go.

Rotating your tires saves you money. A proper tire rotation will ensure even wear on your tires. Even wear on your tires extends the life of your tires. Longer life on your tires means you don't have to buy as many. And not only that! Even tire wear also improves your gas mileage, and that saves you money at the pump. Ensuring even wear on your tires is much better on your suspension (reducing maintenance on that), which means it will improve handling and performance as well as reducing road noise.
We were recently interviewed for the Subaru Eco-Friendly Newsletter about our certification! We're really proud of our achievements, and we were honored that Subaru wanted to talk to us about what we accomplished. The interview is reproduced below.

Stanley Subaru in Ellsworth, ME, is loved by its community. So much so, its facility couldn’t handle the volume of business. That’s when dealer principal Mark Politte knew it was time for a major renovation.
