It’s easy to become complacent in your car.

You feel like you’re in a cocoon.

Invincible.

Motorcycles are more difficult to see than larger cars and trucks, often coming out of seemingly nowhere.

There are certain steps you can take to ensure that the motorcyclists around you stay safe and that you avoid an accident, too.

Subarus have a great reputation.

Not only are they some of the safest vehicles you could buy, but they’re also well known for their longevity.

Did you know that 98% of Subarus sold in the last 10 years are still on the road?

Speaking of a long life, check out this gem.

Spotted in a Denver, Colorado self-service yard, this purple SVX is pretty well-preserved for being 27 years old.

Just look at the side glass! It's impossible…

Is it Papa Bear, Mama Bear, or Baby Bear?

Check out this video of a bear that decided to invade one family’s Subaru Goldilocks-style.

I mean, really, can you blame him?

When you’re ready to see what’s so great about Subaru, come and see us at our Akron-Canton Serra Subaru location.

Editor’s note: This post was originally published on 5/6/16 and has been updated for accuracy and comprehension.

In 2016, that year’s Outback moved off dealer lots quicker than any other car in the U.S.

How long did it hang around?

The Subaru brand is still hot in 2018 – and looking ahead to 2019 – so it’s no surprise that the 2016 Outback wagon was the hottest-selling car in America.

It stayed on dealer lots less time than any other vehicle. 24/7 Wall…

It was a lot of fun to follow Phillip around our dealership as he completed his special mission for Santa.

Phillip has gone back to the North Pole and has been dispatched somewhere else on the globe to gather intel for Jolly Old St. Nick, but we enjoyed the time he spent with…

We love to give back.

Several years ago, on October 18, 2015, Angela Battista from our Honda store organized a Breast Cancer Awareness Walk for the employees of Serra Auto Park (formerly Park Auto Group).

We were delighted to play a role in the fight against breast cancer, but here’s the thing: Events like this aren’t foreign to us.

In the 1980’s, the former Park Auto Group opened up in Green, Ohio. Right from the beginning, we made the commitment…

In June of 2015, the Serra Auto Park (formerly Park Auto Group) family had a food drive that was enormously successful.

We were able to present three SUV's full of food during the Green High School boys soccer game on one Saturday evening.

The 180 employees of the former Park Auto Group – and our families – pulled together and gave well over 5,550 of the most-needed food items to children of The Blessings-in-a-Backpack program.

It’s been a few years since we had this event, but we continue to pull together, gather our resources and work to conquer childhood…
