Built on Trust: Johnathan’s Lasting Legacy - Madelyn G
With over 1,300 Subarus sold and over a decade of experience in sales at Thomas Subaru, Johnathan Loughrie has become more than just a trusted advisor to customers—he’s become a staple of the community and a steady presence for his team. Johnathan constantly goes above and beyond without ever seeking recognition. Whether it’s driving to a customer’s home to help set up their Homelink, dropping off paperwork, or just checking in long after the sale, he does it all without making a fuss. His ability to remember not only customers’ vehicles but also the small personal details that matter most is something special. In fact, it’s rare for him to go out in public without running into a happy customer who stops to say hello. For his coworkers, Johnathan is an essential source of wisdom. In moments of uncertainty, he’s always willing to share advice, offer insight, or simply listen. His positive attitude and calm demeanor lift those around him and set the tone for what great teamwork looks like. Johnathan doesn't just sell cars—he builds lasting relationships. His work reflects the Subaru Love Promise in every sense: thoughtful, consistent, and full of heart.
