Top Shop Challenge: Jump on the viral trend of using AI to transform your shop owner or service manager into an action figure! Share your photo(s) and tell us what makes this shop hero truly legendary.
Whether it’s Shelby blazing through issues with fiery passion or Ryan electrifying the workflow with cool-headed control — CARR Subaru's service managers are absolutely superhero material!!! 🛡️ 1. Problem Solvers (Like Batman with their utility belt) Our service managers face unexpected challenges daily — equipment issues, scheduling hiccups, customer concerns — and solve them with speed and precision. Like a superhero with a utility belt, they’re always ready with a tool, contact, or workaround. ⚡ 2. Fast Responders (Flash-Speed Reactions) They’re often the first to respond to emergencies, jumping into action when something breaks down or a customer needs immediate help. Their quick thinking and fast decisions save the day — and keep operations moving. 🧠3. Master Strategists (Like Iron Man or Black Widow) They plan, delegate, prioritize, and balance resources like seasoned tacticians. From managing techs in the field to juggling multiple service calls, they orchestrate chaos into coordination. 💪 4. Mentors & Leaders (Like Professor X or Wonder Woman) They support their teams, train new staff, and boost morale. A service manager’s encouragement can turn a tough day around — they're the heart and backbone of the team. 🧰 5. Versatile & Resourceful (Like Dr. Strange) No two days are alike. Whether it’s helping a technician, fielding customer calls, managing schedules, or tracking parts — their adaptability is nothing short of superhuman. 💬 6. Customer Defenders (Like Captain America) They stand up for customers and ensure their needs are met. When service falls short, they fight to make it right, often becoming the face of trust and reliability. 💥 Bonus: They Never Quit (Like the Hulk) Even when it's chaotic, even when things go wrong — service managers don’t give up. They show up, solve problems, and carry the load with a smile (or at least determination).

Who better to turn into a superhero than our very own Service Manager? Whether he's solving scheduling puzzles, supporting the team, or going above and beyond for our customers, he’s the real deal—faster than a speeding diagnostic scan and more powerful than a fully charged EV battery. This shop runs like a well-oiled machine thanks to his leadership!
After a week full of sunshine, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and hosted our first BBQ of the year! Team members from Service, Sales, Parts, Accounting, and Detail all came together to enjoy the sun, connect with each other, and share some great food - hot burgers, fresh salads, and plenty of snacks.
