Conner Saves the Vacation - Madelyn G
Last Friday, our technician Conner went out of his way to help a customer in a tough spot. The day before, a woman came in with her check engine light on—just hours before she was supposed to leave for vacation. After diagnosing the issue, we found she needed a new thermo control valve. Thankfully, we had the part, but time was tight. Without hesitation, Conner offered to come in early the next morning to make sure the job got done in time. He started work at 7:00 AM, well before our regular hours, to ensure she could still make her trip. When the customer picked up her car, she was overwhelmed with gratitude. She gave our advisor a hug and asked multiple times to pass along a big “thank you” to Conner for saving her vacation. It was a simple act of going above and beyond—but to her, it meant everything. And that’s exactly what the Subaru Love Promise is all about.
