Subaru Love-Encore

Driving your new Subaru for the first time is an exhilarating feeling. You’ll quickly fall in love with its exciting performance, customizable comfort, and thoughtful features for both safety and convenience. From EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology to X-MODE®, there’s so much capability your Subaru can give you, and you’ll want to take advantage of it all.

That’s why we created Love-Encore, a complimentary follow-up delivery experience designed exclusively for new Subaru owners1. About two weeks after you purchase your vehicle, you’ll return to your retailer for a personalized session with a Love-Encore Delivery Specialist. Your specialist will help you explore your new vehicle’s advanced systems and tailor its settings to your needs.

We want your purchase to spark a love that will last for years of adventure, and Love-Encore can help you value your new Subaru more with every mile.

How It Works

After you take ownership of your new Subaru, your Subaru Love-Encore Delivery Specialist will schedule a complimentary appointment at your retailer within 14-45 days. At this one-on-one appointment, you’ll get answers to all your questions, learn about helpful features, and discover even more to love about your Subaru.

Rest in Peace Mike. Our co-worker, our friend, our Mike. You were taken from us far too soon Mikey. You will always be in our fondest memories. Your work ethic, your singing and air-guitar playing to the Classic Rock coming out of the Detail Department, will surely be missed.
