Summer 2003 Forward to a Friend








is a company-wide, customer-focused corporate philosophy that puts the Subaru customer first in all decisions and actions. This perspective affects all of the company?s programs, including vehicle design and engineering, product quality, the improvement of the dealership environment, employee training, customer service and overall vehicle sales and service.
























Keith Tilton, Vice President
of Customer Relationships
and Loyalty
  of “The Subaru Difference” is the continual improvement of our dealerships’ operations, employee training and the service you receive at your dealership. “It’s important that we support our dealers in these efforts, and we currently have many programs and services to assist our dealers. One of these programs, started in 1985, is our purchase and service survey initiative. In fact, many of you have already returned surveys as part of this program, for which we are most appreciative,” says George Dubinsky, Owner Information Manager for Subaru of America.


We send different surveys to monitor and evaluate specific aspects of the customer ownership experience. New owners receive a purchase experience survey to gauge their buying experience, and we send a service survey to a sampling of customers to evaluate their service experience. The results of these surveys are reported back to the dealers and reviewed by district management teams to determine where we can improve our processes and enhance our customer service.

Subaru dealers who consistently meet or exceed your expectations based on your survey responses are recognized through our Owner Satisfaction and Loyalty Recognition Program. “We realize the importance and value of establishing and nurturing lifetime customer relationships and loyalty. It is my extreme pleasure to recognize these dealers for reaching and maintaining the highest levels of owner loyalty,” says Keith Tilton, Vice President of Customer Relationships and Loyalty for Subaru of America.

Tilton also says, “To build and foster lasting owner loyalty represents a significant commitment for a dealership. The customers of these dealers can be assured they will always be treated with the highest regard and provided the best possible support for their Subaru. We must remember, it is not all about price; it’s about professionalism and a dealership’s commitment to provide customers added value with every vehicle purchased and serviced.”

The dealerships on the previous page have been recognized for their outstanding owner service under the Owner Satisfaction and Loyalty Recognition Program for 2002.
