Trunks & Treats and No Tricks in sight! - Brandon P
Outback's, Crosstrek's, Ghost Busters, and the Make a Wish Star make for one awesome event. Garcia Subaru and Make a Wish held their annual Trunk or Treating event this week! This year was the largest event since Garcia Subaru started hosting it 7 years ago. Halloween music, Candy, Games, and every costume you can imagine along with all the children laughing smiling and enjoying some candy made this a great event for Make a Wish and Garcia Subaru along with Subaru Loves to Help! Garcia Subaru loves to support the local community and charities with help from Subaru Loves to Help and Make a Wish this Trunk or Treating event has introduced many people to the awesome events Make a Wish put on and to the mission they are accomplishing every day! There are many ways to help Make a Wish New Mexico thru its donations, grant writing, or volunteering. We need more Love in this world and for families helping their children battle a critical illness the world seems dark. With events like Trunk or Treating this will help shine a light on those families in need and every single person that gives time, money, or a kind word helps! No amount is too small and no time given is too little and if everyone just gives a little together, we can all make a difference for that one child facing a battle no child should ever have to face!! Happy Halloween from Garcia Subaru and Subaru Loves to Help!!
Dogs, Cats, and Chewbarus!! - Brandon P
Garcia Subaru and Subaru Loves Pets hosted the Animal Humane New Mexico on Saturday October 17th! So many Pets in shelters that need their forever homes! Animal Humane New Mexico helps over 10,000 cats and dogs every year. If our event can lead to more adoptions or more financial aid for Animal Humane then we have done our part. Subaru Loves Pets has donated over $75 million since its launch. Annually Subaru Loves Pets has committed over $3.1 million in shelter grants and direct funding through dealership events! Everyone had so much fun watching these dogs get out of their kennels and getting to have fun with the all new Tailseeker! Check out Animal Humane New Mexico and help Gordo find his forever home! Please visit your local Animal Humane and if you can't contribute financially your time always helps!
Subaru Loves Learning @ Garcia Subaru!! - Brandon P
Garcia Subaru and Subaru Loves Learning! Every year teachers must come out of their own pockets to supply their students with the necessary tools like pencils, paper, markers so they can learn. With the rising cost of goods these teachers sacrifice their own money to help students achieve their learning goals. Many teachers have second jobs to help offset what they spend on their students. Teachers cannot give their classes the best learning experience while worrying about paying their own bills plus working another job and helping their students. That is why this year at Garcia Subaru with the support from Subaru we adopted Edward Gonzales Elementary School to supply teachers with much needed funds and supplies to help them take care of their students without having to come out of their own pockets. It's a small way to say thank you and show our appreciation for one of the most important jobs anyone can have! Thank you to all the teachers that go above the call for our youth!
Garcia Subaru North and Subaru Loves Pets!! - Brandon P
March of 2026 Subaru and Garcia Subaru sponsored the Doggie Dash & Dawdle event! Another successful event that raised some much-needed funds for the Animal Humane of New Mexico. One of the only pet friendly 5k run or 1 mile walk along with a pet friendly carnival! This event is not only so much fun and helps raise awareness and money for a great cause it leaves you with a smile and giggling for days after!! What other event can you see thousands of people with pets all in one place and everyone having a great time! Both Garcia Subaru and Subaru Loves Pets and to help raise money for those fur babies looking for their forever home. Animal Humane in New Mexico is one of the largest nonprofits in New Mexico helping our for our 4-legged friends. Please look for it next year and donate to a cause that not only helps but is a blast to be a part of!
Who Loves to Care? Garcia Subaru does!! - Brandon P
Subaru loves to Care and so does Garcia Subaru! We know being in the hospital is already tough enough but fighting cancer as well makes for a monumental challenge and having a blanket to hold and keep you warm adds a little touch of home and hope. This is why this year we partnered with Lovelace Hospital to provide blankets for current patients. Just a little way to show our support in someone's health battle! Our hope is that this shows our love and support and helps them keep fighting to win one of the toughest fights anyone can have. Subaru and all of Subaru's dealership partners for the last 10 years have provided blankets to many cancer treatment centers thru out the United States! Our hope is that more people can give time, support, and love to help those battling any illness so that they can win all their health battles and know they are not alone!

Garcia Subaru Trunk or Treat with Make-A-Wish New Mexico - Lucas S
Every October, Garcia Subaru looks forward to one of our favorite traditions of the year: our annual Trunk or Treat event. What makes this event especially meaningful is our continued partnership with Make-A-Wish New Mexico, an organization that brings hope, strength, and joy to children facing critical illnesses across our state. This year's event brought families, kids, and our team together in the best possible way. Our lot transformed into a festive Halloween village filled with decorated vehicles, costumes, candy, laughter, and genuine moments of connection. Employees volunteered their time to decorate trunks, hand out treats, and welcome families from across the community, creating a safe and joyful space for kids to simply be kids. What made the night truly special was seeing the smiles on the faces of the Make-A-Wish families. For a few hours, worries faded into the background as kids showed off costumes, collected candy, and experienced the magic of the season. Those moments of happiness and normalcy are exactly why this partnership matters so much to us. At Garcia Subaru, we believe being part of the community means showing up, not just as a business, but as neighbors who care. Supporting Make-A-Wish New Mexico through events like Trunk or Treat aligns perfectly with Subaru's Love Promise values of compassion, connection, and giving back. We are proud of our team members who volunteered, the families who joined us, and our continued relationship with Make-A-Wish New Mexico. This event is a reminder that even something as simple as candy, costumes, and time together can create lasting memories and meaningful impact. We are already looking forward to next year.

Garcia Subaru Hosts a Heartfelt Adoption Event with Animal Humane New Mexico - Steven A
At Garcia Subaru we don’t just sell cars. We care deeply about our community and especially about the pets that make it whole. That passion came to life during a very special adoption event we hosted right here at our dealership in partnership with Animal Humane New Mexico. This event was more than just a day to meet dogs. It was a celebration of everything we believe in—kindness, connection, and the power of second chances. Our lot filled with families, friends, and animal lovers from all around, many bringing their own dogs to join in the fun. The energy was incredible. Children played with adoptable dogs. Longtime pet owners shared stories with one another. Some guests came just to show support. Others left with a new best friend. One of the most meaningful moments of the day was when we had the privilege of presenting a check for 40250 dollars to Animal Humane New Mexico. This gift helps further their mission to care for and find loving homes for pets across the state. Lucas Shirley, our General Sales Manager and a proud board member of Animal Humane New Mexico, was instrumental in bringing this event to life. With his leadership and deep dedication to animals, this became one of the most touching and successful events we have ever hosted. The love in the air was real. It reminded all of us at Garcia Subaru why we do what we do. Every tail wag, every smile, every adoption was a sign that something truly good was happening. We are proud to be part of a community that cares this much. And we are grateful to have played a role in helping connect people with the pets who will change their lives forever. We cannot wait to do it again.
