Subaru of Sonora is owned by the Prieto Automotive Group. While this is only one part of our story, it’s through this ownership that our dealership has enhanced its community focus.
Community relationships are one of Prieto Automotive Group’s prime directives as an organization. So, unsurprisingly, we center our mission around providing job opportunities for local residents and implement initiatives that give back to our town. Furthermore, we provide those living in the area with safe and steady vehicles that drive like a dream.
Leading by Example
Our general manager, Kelly Robinson, is integral to putting Sonora citizens in the front seat of high-functioning, safety-forward Subaru automobiles. He pushes our team to give our outstanding town top-notch service, focusing on more than vehicles and pricing. In fact, this approach is a driving force in our dealership’s evolution into a vital pillar in the surrounding community.
About Sonora County:
Small Town Vibes Where Mom and Pop Stores Can Thrive
In the hustle and bustle that many outsiders associate with California, Sonora is a welcome change of pace. More specifically, these small-town vibes are partially due to its population a touch under 5,000.
What does that mean exactly?
Sonora California Charm
For the most part, we all know one another in Sonora. That’s the beautiful part about living in a small town. Whether it’s the picturesque downtown area or any of our breathtaking wineries, virtually anywhere you visit feels like home. Everybody treats you like a member of their family. Such charm is what we intend to emulate when you visit our Subaru dealership.
Enter Our Dealership, and We’ll Treat You like Family.
Making Subaru of Sonora feel like home for our customers comes naturally.
After all, our customers are frequently our friends and family. As such, when you visit our establishment, it’s similar to visiting an old pal. We take it personally to provide our community with the best possible services and products, making us that much more committed to delivering value.
A Local Sonora Business Helping Local Businesses
Shopping local is meaningful to us. Our team is mainly from the Sonora area and wants to give back to many community businesses. Moreover, as a Subaru retailer, we know that the more robust the town’s economy, the more people will shop at our establishment. Therefore, more residents will have a chance to purchase one of our expertly build automobiles that keep them safe on the road.
Setting the Gold Standard
Deeply ingrained in Sonora’s identity is its critical role in the California Gold Rush. Furthermore, the town was once a booming industry and trade center in California’s Mother Lode. That “gold standard” spirit is what inspires us at Subaru of Sonora, whether it’s through repairs, sales, and other services.
Upholding Sonora’s Natural Beauty
Sonora is home to Yosemite National Park, found in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Amid the natural beauty, you’ll discover eye-catching, ancient sequoia trees and iconic vista views. Our town is also famous for the Stanislaus National Forest, which manages 898,099 acres of land.
Given that natural beauty is part of Sonora’s identity, we work tirelessly to uphold that pride-filled standard. We sell fuel-efficient vehicles built with environmentally sound practices, whether new or used.
How Do We Show Our Commitment to the Sonora (and Surrounding) Communities?
So far, we’ve discussed how our surrounding community is important to us. However, the love we have for Sonora’s residents goes beyond what we say in our messaging. Instead, it extends to our team’s volunteer efforts and our adherence to the Subaru Love Promise.
Upholding Subaru’s Love Promise to Our Community
Spearheading our efforts to help bolster the Sonora community Is Subaru’s transcendent Love Promise. We work with local charities and philanthropic organizations to give back to our home through this ambitious, kindness-driven initiative.
Helping Improve Local Cancer Patients’ Quality of Life
Our partnership with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) has been immensely fulfilling for our team.
For instance, via this partnership, we’ve provided the Diana J. White Cancer Institute with blankets. Beyond that, we attached handwritten notes of encouragement. Given that poverty is a growing problem throughout Tuolumne county, doing our part to help requires no second thoughts. Giving impoverished cancer patients warmth during colder months, when they can’t afford heat, is an absolute necessity. It’s a point of pride that we’ve helped give our ailing neighbors some added support and compassion during trying times.
In a Bind? We’re Here for You.
Not only do we sell expertly crafted vehicles, but we also perform repairs, including emergency fixes. On several occasions, when about to close (once during Christmas Eve!), we’ve received calls from customers in need. Going the extra mile and being available during these urgent scenarios is 2nd nature to our team. As a community leader, it’s important to us to ensure the roads are safe and that residents can reliably get from a to b. Transportation helps make this fast-paced world go round—Subaru of Sonora fully embraces the prominent role we play in this regard.
A Passion for Finding Homes for Local Pets
There’s no denying our love of pets. This obsession with four-legged furballs is shared amongst our entire team. We all passionately believe that dogs, cats, and other domesticated animals deserve loving homes where they can enjoy an excellent quality of life. As such, we’ve built a flourishing partnership with a Sonora-based pet-adoption agency called Friends of the Animal Community.
