Q: Are trade-ins accepted, and how is value determined?
Yes—trading in your current vehicle is a convenient way to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. We assess each trade fairly using market data, vehicle condition, and mileage.
You can start the process from home using our online trade valuation tool. When you bring your vehicle in, our appraisers confirm its condition and finalize the offer.

- In-person appraisal: Quick inspection of condition, service history, and mileage
- Transparent offers: We explain how we determine your trade-in value and answer all questions
Remember to bring your title and registration if you own the vehicle outright. If financed, we obtain payoff information and handle the paperwork for you.
Q: Do you sell used cars that aren’t Subarus?
Absolutely! Our pre-owned inventory features many brands and body styles, from compact sedans to SUVs. Each vehicle goes through a thorough multi-point inspection for safety and reliability.
If you’re looking for a specific make or model, our sales team can search regional auctions and dealer networks to track it down.
- Multi-point inspection: Brake check, fluids, tires, and more
- Warranty options: Many vehicles qualify for extended coverage plans
- Variety: Cars, SUVs, and vans from domestic and import manufacturers
Ask about certified pre-owned (CPO) Subaru vehicles, which include added benefits like warranty extensions and roadside assistance.
Q: What warranty coverage comes with new Subaru vehicles?
Every new Subaru comes with comprehensive warranty protection. Standard coverage includes bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties, with options to extend coverage through Subaru Extra Care plans.
Our finance specialists can review each plan and help you choose the coverage that fits your driving habits.
- Bumper-to-bumper: 3 years or 36,000 miles
- Powertrain: 5 years or 60,000 miles
- Subaru Extra Care options: Extended service plans, maintenance packages, and roadside assistance
We recommend reviewing your warranty booklet for specific terms. Ask our team if anything is unclear.

Yes—you can book a test drive from home. Use our online form to select a vehicle, date, and time. Our team will confirm your appointment and have the car ready.
