Ferguson Subaru and Subaru of America Move Forward with New Facility Projects

Ferguson Subaru is Northeastern Oklahoma's premier Subaru dealer. We're honored to have served the Greater Tulsa area for 15 years! In those 15 years, we've been privileged to see Subaru's popularity grow immensely both nationally and locally. Subaru's commitment to producing high quality, customer-desired vehicles and their customer-focused corporate philosophy have helped the automaker reach remarkable sales growth. In fact, last November marked Subaru of America's 48th consecutive month of year-over-year growth!

Our Ferguson Subaru team's commitment to better serve our customers has helped us become the #1 Subaru dealer in Oklahoma! With the growth we've experience at our Broken Arrow, Subaru dealership, and Subaru's customer-focused philosophy in mind, we began to invest more into our Subaru branch. On October 7, 2015 we broke ground on our new state-of-the art Ferguson Subaru facility. The new Ferguson Subaru building will be 26,000 sq. ft. when completed. It will feature a new Subaru showroom and service facility.

The new service facility will be a huge upgrade for our service department featuring a new “Subaru Express Service” with three service lanes, a new state-of-the-art car wash, and a new customer-focused waiting area including; a kids play area, wireless internet, and complementary refreshments and snacks. 

As, construction on our Broken Arrow, Subaru facility moves along as scheduled, Subaru of America has begun the early stages of their own brand new facility in New Jersey. 

Nine weeks after Ferguson's groundbreaking ceremony in Broken Arrow, Subaru of America broke ground on an all-new $118 million corporate headquarters in Camden, New Jersey.

Subaru of America has had its corporate headquarters in NJ since 1969 and has been in its current location in Cherry Hill since 1986. The new facility, at 250,000 square feet, plus an additional building at 83,000 square feet will be more than double the size of its current headquarters building and will bring employees from four sites onto one campus. 

Subaru of America plans to complete the project by the end of 2017. While here in Broken Arrow, Ferguson Subaru plans to complete construction of our new state-of-the-art Subaru facility in late 2016. 

Ferguson Subaru is proud to be able to continually serve the Greater Tulsa area. Our new facility will enable us to better serve our valued customers. We're conveniently located at 1501 N. Elm Place, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma – right off the Broken Arrow Expressway, across from the Bass Pro Shop.

Subaru Reveals Glimpse Into the Future with Impreza Sedan Concept

Many of the brands we carry at Ferguson Superstore revealed some attractive new products and concept cars at the 2015 Los Angeles auto show; from Buick's all-new 2017 LaCrosse to Kia's turquoise Optima convertible concept. But, there was one concept car we couldn't get out of our minds - Subaru's Impreza Sedan concept car. Ferguson's Stephen Hill was live at the Los Angeles Auto Show to capture a picture of the impressive sport sedan [below]. 

From the front-end hawk-eye headlights, along the sharp character line that runs the length of the car, to the sleek new trunk lid on the rear of the sporty sedan; the Subaru Impreza Sedan concept is quite appealing to look at. And, how can you not love that energetic Ruby Red Metallic paint color? 

The all-new Subaru Impreza will be the first example of Subaru's next-generation vehicles using a new modular platform. The design is sportier and less angular than the previous generation Impreza, but with a powerful stance expressing Subaru’s new Dynamic x Solid design language. The new design direction hints at not only the new Impreza design, but of Subaru’s future models.

Ferguson Subaru is Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma's premier Subaru dealership. We carry all new Subaru sedans and crossovers, like the Subaru Impreza and the Subaru Forester. Check out our selection of new and used Subarus at www.FergusonSubaru.com

 

Subaru Announces New Third-Row Crossover In The Works

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, there are 246,290 families in the Tulsa Metro. One thing we know is important for these families when purchasing a new vehicle is accommodation. A family vehicle needs to be able to accommodate varying passenger needs and the needs of each individual family member. Whether it’s accommodating infants who need to be within easy reach, or accommodating fully grown adults wanting as much legroom as possible; accommodation is a must for any family vehicle. 

Subaru’s retired 3-row crossover model, the Subaru Tribeca, fit that bill nicely. Unfortunately, Subaru halted production of the Tribeca back in 2014. However, we’ve got some exciting news our Tulsa area families are going to want to hear – Subaru has announced plans to replace the Tribeca and put a new third-row crossover into its lineup!

That’s good news for Tulsa area families or anyone in Oklahoma who needs a vehicle with third-row capability. There’s just one slight catch, we’re going to have to wait until 2018 to be able to bring the new Subaru to our Broken Arrow dealership. 

What do we know about Subaru’s new planned third-row crossover? Not a lot, but we know it will be larger than the Tribeca; which translates to more accommodating capability. We know it won’t be called the Tribeca. Subaru hasn’t released the name of their new Tribeca-replacing third row crossover, but for now we’ll just call it the 2018 Hurry-up-and-Get-Here Subaru. It will likely carry a name synonymous with outdoor adventure, consistent with the company’s other successful crossovers; the Subaru Outback, Subaru Forester and Subaru Crosstrek. And last, but not least, we know it’s a Subaru,  and Subaru vehicles are known for long-lasting reliability. 

The Tribeca adapted well to Oklahoma life. It was a beloved option for our Tulsa area families, and it has been missed at our Broken Arrow Subaru dealership. A significant number of our customers come in asking for a vehicle with third row capability. That’s why we’re excited about Subaru’s plan for a new third-row crossover. We expect the new vehicle to pick up where the Tribeca left off and do quite well here in the Tulsa Metro. 

We’ll release more information about the new crossover as soon as Subaru makes another announcement of the vehicle. For now, stay tuned to our Subaru blog and our Facebook page to get the latest Subaru news and updates. Check out our new Subaru inventory online at www.FergusonSubaru.com.

Ferguson Subaru Donates School Supplies

Ferguson Subaru loves to give back to our community. One of the areas we believe is worth investing in is education. Our team is committed to helping the advancement of learning and learning opportunities in our community. 

Looking at local, Tulsa area schools we learned that, on average, teachers spend up to $500 of their own money each year on supplies for their classrooms. As advocates of learning, that didn’t sit well with us at Ferguson Subaru. We wanted to help provide the necessary supplies teachers need to teach, and students need to learn. So, we decided to hold a school supply drive. 

During the months of August and September, Ferguson Subaru collected school supplies from generous donators in the Broken Arrow and Tulsa area. Our goal was to “Stuff a Subaru,” or stuff a Subaru Forester to be specific. 

By the end of our supply drive, we had quite a bit of school supplies in the back of our Subaru Forester (thank you to all who donated). The next step was to get those supplies into the hands of teachers and students. We reached out to Kendall-Whittier Elementary School, in Tulsa. 

Kendall-Whittier is an elementary school located in north-central Tulsa, just west of the University of Tulsa campus. The school has been providing students in the area a place to grow and learn for generations. Kendall-Whittier Elementary is a lighthouse to our community. According to the school, “As a Title I school, we don’t require that students bring school supplies at the beginning of the year to respect the limited financial situations of many of our families.” 

After our supply drive was over, we drove the Subaru Forester, stuffed with supplies, over to the elementary school! We are honored to have the opportunity to work with the teachers and staff at Kendall-Whittier! Tulsa community mascot, Fergie Bear, was present to help drop off the supplies! A $250 donation was also given to the school through AdoptAClassroom.org.

Ronda Kesler, principal at Kendall-Whittier, had the following to say about the donation,
“I would like to express appreciation on behalf of my staff for the delightful trunk of gifts that were delivered to Kendall-Whittier ES by Fergie Bear and your gracious staff…We are so grateful and blessed to have been the recipient of this year’s Ferguson Subaru school supply drive. Please accept our ‘Thank You’ from my staff and students!” 

Ferguson Subaru’s focus on education in the month of August and September was part of the Subaru Love Promise, a pledge to do right in our communities and the world.

New, State-of-the-art Subaru facility Coming Soon!

Since the fist day we introduced Subaru to the Tulsa Metro, nearly 15 years ago, our Subaru showroom has shared the same building with our Kia brand. Blessed with both an increase in new Subaru sales and new Kia sales, it's time for a change! 

Today, August 14, 2015, we're proud to announce work has started on the future home of Ferguson Subaru! Our new state-of the-art Subaru facility will be constructed just behind our Buick GMC building, along the Broken Arrow Expressway.

Our new Subaru facility will greatly improve our customers' experience and interaction. Separating our Kia and Subaru buildings will improve customer satisfaction in 3 major ways: 

1. Our new facility will give us more space. With this new space we can offer more variety and a bigger selection for not only our Subaru customers, but our Kia customers as well! 
2. We will have two dedicated Ferguson teams; a Subaru team and a Kia team. This will allow our employees to have a greater knowledge and expertise of their assigned product. 
3. Service. Our service department has seen exponential growth, as well. Our new Subaru facility will allow our customers to get in and out of our service bay in a much timely manner. 

Our state-of-the-art Subaru facility will be completed in approximately 16 months! We're extremely excited to bring this new Subaru facility to Green Country. With our new Subaru facility, we'll be able to offer the best customer experience in Oklahoma! Follow us on Facebook to stay up-to-date and follow the progress of our new facility!

More and More Fall in Love with Subaru

Although it's only fall, it feels a lot like February around here. It's during February that lovers are expected to show more affection than the other 364 days of the year. February 14th is; after all, the day of love. 

So, why does the beginning of fall already feel warm and fuzzy? We have one guess...maybe because Subaru has been on a roll! This past August marked the best-ever sales month in Subaru's history. It also marked 18th consecutive month of 40,000+ vehicle sales for the company which continues to outpace the industry. Yes, Americans truly love Subaru, and we all know what makes a Subaru, a Subaru; love! 

Subaru of America President and COO, Thomas J. Doll, dedicated Subaru's tremendous growth to a focus on customer satisfaction stating, “Our milestone August sales results are a testament to the dedicated efforts of our retail partners to provide our customers with the best purchase and ownership experience possible." 

The Subaru love bug hasn't skipped Oklahoma! Ferguson Subaru has been serving the Tulsa/Broken Arrow, Northeast Oklahoma area for nearly 15 years. We've watched Subaru's efforts to keep customers satisfied with unmatched SUV and sedan products. We've been privileged to see Subaru's efforts, along with great Ferguson Subaru team effort, help us experience an impressive growth of our own.

'STUFF A SUBARU' School Supply Drive

Aside from your parents, can you think of someone who inspired you, pushed you, and prepared you for life's journey? Many of us owe a "thank you" to our teachers. Teachers leave lasting impressions on our lives and on the lives of our children. 

The work of a teacher impacts the community as a whole. As Helen Caldicott once said, “Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth.” Given the right tools, our teachers have the ability to shape not only the future of Tulsa and the surrounding communities but effectively the world. There's just one problem; not every teacher is equipped with the right tools and/or resources. 

On average, teachers spend up to $500 of their own money each year on supplies for their classrooms. This is a fact that doesn't sit well with us at Ferguson Subaru. We love learning, and we love our teachers. We want to see the Tulsa/Broken Arrow area, our community, continue to grow and flourish, and we know the role of the teacher is vital in this. So, we decided to do something about it; something to help our local teachers. 

We decided to 'Stuff A Subaru' with school supplies.

We decided to host a school supply drive, but we need your help! 
With your help, we can make sure Tulsa-area students have what they need to succeed.
