Buying a used car instead of a new one is one of the best financial decisions you can make. And with Subaru being one of the most dependable automakers out there, with 97 percent of Subaru Outback vehicles sold in the last 10 years still being on the road today, buying a used Subaru is practically a no-brainer.

A new car is a depreciable asset, which makes buying a used Subaru a good financial decision.  

There’s nothing more exciting than driving off the lot of Herb Gordon Subaru in a new Subaru car. But before you do so, there is some planning that must be done.

Here in our Subaru finance center, we know that talking about automobile financing is not as exciting as talking about Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive or Subaru STARLINK®, but it is necessary for anyone buying a car. Here are some tips on creating a budget for your new Subaru car.

Each type of motor oil has its unique advantages, and here at Herb Gordon Subaru, our mechanics specialize in all types of Subaru maintenance, oil change included. Here is what you need to know about the different types of motor oil.

Subaru tires are engineered to last, but like any other car part, they wear down over time and eventually need to be changed out.

When you’re in the market for a durable, capable, and tough SUV for the whole family, you’re likely to come across the Subaru Outback.

Here is a brief comparison between the two crossovers.

If you’ve browsed our online used Subaru inventory, you may have come across a section called Certified Pre-Owned Subaru and wondered what exactly that is. Because of the brand's legendary durability – 97 percent of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today – they make excellent vehicles to buy used.

Buying from the Certified Subaru inventory gives you an extra level of assurance of high quality.

In order to get the best possible performance out of your new Subaru car, it is important to keep up with vehicle maintenance. Even if you do not notice anything superficially wrong with your car, Subaru still recommends bringing your car into a Subaru service center for preventative maintenance to ensure no issues develop.

This concept is called Subaru scheduled maintenance, also known as a Subaru maintenance schedule, and it is one of the many services that we offer here at Herb Gordon Subaru.
