22.01.2022 The amazing crew at Traralgon Subaru and Leongatha Subaru reached out to us to talk about how they could best support us in these challenging times. They decided to donate based on the number of new cars they deliver through the October-December period. If you are currently waiting for your new car, rest assured they are doing everything we can to get your new Subaru to you ASAP. If you've thought about a Subaru, now is a great time to check out the great deals they have on offer!
