Prepare Your Subaru for a Road Trip in Tallahassee, FL
Subaru vehicles are known for their spacious interiors, rugged performance, and longevity, which makes them ideal road trip vehicles. If you’ve been thinking about traveling in your Subaru, check out some of our top tips for making sure your vehicle is ready, plus some destination ideas! Our team here at Proctor Subaru is available if you have any questions!
Whether you have a recently purchased Subaru or one that you’ve been driving for years, there are a few maintenance items you’ll want to check on before setting out on your journey. If you drive a gas engine model, you’ll want to make sure that there is plenty of clean oil to keep the engine from overheating or getting damaged. You can either check the oil at home or stop by our service center for a quick inspection. Secondly, take a look at each tire and make sure there is plenty of tread to keep you steady if you encounter any harsh weather conditions or rough terrain. Finally, turn on your Subaru and check the effectiveness of your windshield wipers. We can do a quick swap in just a few minutes or you can always purchase a backup set with our parts department.

Your new customer from Miami
“ We just got our Subaru in South Fl and had questions about the service plan but were having trouble getting a response back. Our friends had gotten their car at Proctor so figured let me call them. Able was so patient, answered all the questions we had about the plans with no hesitation no matter how many emails. We ended up getting it from him. I have never been up there but for sure would recommend them based on the help we got from Abel. Our friends who did get their car there had a great experience as well. Thanks again Abel!! Your new customer from Miami ”
The service guys are always appreciative, polite and attentive.
“ The service guys are always appreciative, polite and attentive. Billy was great juggling all of the customers and myself. I stopped by to pick up an accessory that was in stock. The other staff, a service associate, missed his name, and John Hodge were engaging making the time pass quickly. All were very nice to my puppy, Fiona as well! Thank you for your service to your customers! ”

“ It was great working with Skylar (Scott Subaru) and Ron to buy my new Subaru! They had everything ready for me to sign and drive away in about an hour!! I already knew their service dept was excellent. What a great dealership. ”
I figure if we buy another Subaru we will definitely shop Proctor.
“ I had some extensive repair done on my Wife's Legacy. The service was excellent as the personal there are tops. My service advisor arranged for a loaner car and set every thing up. Super nice people to deal with. Service wise. I figure if we buy another Subaru we will definitely shop Proctor. ”
Excellent ordering experience - Skylar Barnes is responsive and helpful.
“ Excellent ordering experience - Skylar Barnes is responsive and helpful. This is a nice, clean, comfortable dealership with professional employees throughout. It’s a breath of fresh air - other car brands really struggle with customer service. I love the location, too. As far as Subaru vehicles - I’ve owned one before and was pleased, so I bought another. Amazing value (features), reliability, safety, resale, functionality, capability, fuel efficiency, etc. You’ll appreciate cheap insurance due to the enhanced accident avoidance technologies. A smart, logical purchase. Subaru has an allegiant fan base for good reason. ”
