Hudson and Ruby - Subaru Puppers

Subaru Dogs in Albany

At Goldstein Subaru in Albany, it's not uncommon to see furry friends in the store. Not just when the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society comes to visit, but throughout the week... because Subaru owners love DOGS! Official Subaru Doggos & Puppers We like to call these special Subaru riders "Official Subaru Doggos & Puppers." These dogs come in all sizes, and all ages... and from all over the Northeast. While most do come from the Capital District, we do have the occasional visitor from out of state - like Zeema from Baltimore. Tucker came from the Hawkeye State. Rambo commutes north and back from Manhattan, along with his buddy Halo. Odd thing about Halo - she's a cat! So, yes, we're not dog exclusive at Goldstein Subaru. more The Job of a Subaru Doggo Subaru Doggos accompany their hoomans when it's time for scheduled maintenance, like an oil change. They also come along when it's time for a Lifetime Car Wash, something we include with every vehicle we sell at no additional charge. You'll also find these puppers helping a hooman choose their first, or next, Subaru. Just the other day, a pair of pups helped choose a Forester for a new Subaru owner. And yesterday, Odin helped choose a Subaru WRX for his hooman - their first Subaru as well. Chester is an Official Subaru Doggo. He helped his hooman choose a vehicle from Goldstein Subaru in Albany, NY. These canines have important responsibilities as an "Official Subaru Doggo." They must claim an entire back seat or back of the vehicle. They can insist on their own special seat cover or blanket, as well as a harness to keep them secure. They help navigate to important destinations, like the dog park, Goldstein Subaru, or back to the dog park. These "DPS" systems can fail occasionally, when heading to the vet or similar places, but the hooman has Subaru navigation to keep them on course. You've got a living sub-woofer to sing along with you and the Subaru infotainment system. And these puppers also make sure you stop, stretch and snack frequently during your trip. At times, your Subaru DPS may go off-line and snore, but this is considered normal. But, mainly, a Subaru Doggo just enjoys the comfy ride, just like their hoomans do. Halo is our only Official Subaru Kitty, at least for now. She accompanies Rambo of Manhattan to Goldstein Subaru. They travel from NYC north and stop in Albany for their Subaru maintenance. Pet Friendly is Customer Friendly We've always welcomed well-behaved dogs (and the rare cat) to Goldstein Subaru in Albany, NY. We understand that some owners can't leave their fur babies alone at home. Pups also know that they need to supervise their hoomans, to make sure treats and walkies are on the to-do list. Some customers have been bringing in their dogs for years! Sometimes one dog will introduce us to another, like when Rosie introduced us to a pup named Strider. Now, Strider is a year old and just as big as Rosie is! How time flies! Rosie and Strider are Official Subaru Doggos, who visited Goldstein Subaru! Strider was just a pupper when we met for the first time! Our customers have commented that they wished other stores were as accommodating with their pets. We'll just keep that to ourselves, as we want to pups to visit us as often as possible at Goldstein Subaru. We keep treats handy, and hopefully our supply of squeaky toys can keep up with demand. So, if you're a Subaru owner and have a friendly, well-behaved dog... we welcome you to visit Goldstein Subaru on Central Avenue in Albany! We also have a Parts Department that can help your pup stay safe in your vehicle - just ask about pet accessories. Copper and Onyx are Official Subaru Doggos, who visited Goldstein Subaru! See More of Our Subaru Doggos You can see all our Subaru Doggos and Puppers on our Facebook page. We add new dogs to our pack all the time! You can also see them on our Instagram page. Be sure to like and share your favorites! Below are just a few more photos of the many who have visited us at Goldstein Subaru! Ellie has been coming to Goldstein Subaru for a while now, and spends time in all our departments. She's earned the title of Honorary Employee as well as Official Subaru Doggo. Scooter is an Official Subaru Doggo, who visits Goldstein Subaru in Albany, NY. Rambo is an Official Subaru Doggo, who visited Goldstein Subaru! He can be found with Halo the cat! Leopold and Smokey are Official Subaru Doggos, who visited Goldstein Subaru! They are also rescue dogs, and we love rescues at Goldstein Subaru! Zeema is a Subaru Doggo from Baltimore, who visited Goldstein Subaru!

New Subaru TV Commercials feature The Barkleys

Who Let The Dogs Out...Back? That's right, the special family of dogs and some of their furry friends are back on TV. It's time for a new series of TV commercials for Subaru featuring everyone's favorite dogs - The Barkleys! Screen capture from a Subaru commercial with The Barkleys, "Drop Off." In this commercial, the parents are dropping off the youngster for his first day of school. The commercials are a combination of funny and kind-of sad as the family sends Junior off to school for the first time, or takes the mud-covered Subaru to the doggy car wash. Dogs Don't Like Practical Jokes? In one of the commercials, it seems that Father Barkley is getting picked up from his latest bowling game. Seems like the perfect time to play a joke! But Mr. Barkley isn't in the mood for the classic joke in this TV commercial. Guess he didn't have a good game? Screen capture from a Subaru commercial with The Barkleys, "Drive Away." In this commercial, one of The Barkleys is not in the mood for a practical joke when getting picked up from bowling night. At The Car Wash... Yeah! Probably one of the funniest this time around is the Subaru commercial at the car wash. It's a lot of team work between all these dogs, but it just doesn't make the Subaru as nice looking as it could. Screen capture from a Subaru commercial with The Barkleys, "Car Wash." In this commercial, the Subaru needs a good cleaning and a group of dogs are ready to do the job. Just a Scratch. And The Barkleys are also teaching one of the youngsters how to drive their Subaru. But it seems no matter how old you might be, in dog years, it's pretty easy to be a distracted driver. Good thing they have a Subaru to keep them safe from distractions on the road. Screen capture from a Subaru commercial with The Barkleys, "Driving Lesson." In this commercial, it's time for the young Barkley to learn how to drive the Subaru. Behind The Scenes of a Subaru Commercial - Bonus Footage For fans of The Barkleys, we get some special Bonus Footage with an extra 60 seconds of fun with our furry friends. Screen capture from a behind-the-scenes video of the new series of Subaru commercials with the dog family "The Barkleys." We've loved The Barkleys and had fun with them since they first appeared. And we look forward to their next appearance on our TV screens in their Subaru.

Amber and her 2017 Subaru Impreza Sport

Subaru Impreza Sport 5 Door - Amber's Favorite Vehicle

Amber Hayes is one of our super salespeople at Goldstein Subaru, and she’s picked her favorite vehicle on our lot. It was an easy decision, because she just bought one of these for herself - it’s the 2017 Subaru Impreza Sport 5 door. The stylish Subaru Impreza Sport caught her eye Amber has been selling cars for over 4 years, and Subaru is at the top of her list because there’s something there for every lifestyle. The style of the revamped Impreza Sport 5 Door caught her eye and will catch yours too. Her color of choice is Island Blue Pearl. Room for all the fun you want to have? You betcha! Inside Amber's Impreza - Tunes! Up front, Amber’s enjoying the pull of the 2 liter engine as it takes this all-wheel vehicle through the snow and sleet and rain. Under sunny skies too, the Impreza grips the road. It takes her from home to work and back again, through the traffic the day throws at her. She sits back in red-stitched seats, connects her phone to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and listens to her tunes. She stays hands free as well with the connected apps. Apps! Apple AirPlay and Android Auto provides the music. Amber traded in a Subaru Legacy for this Impreza, and kept some of her favorite options with the move. Heated seats, a must. Moonroof, a must. And now she has Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and for the all-important tunes, the Harmon Kardon sound system. Heated seats - yes. Moonroof - yes. Fun and safety? YES! Eye-Catching Safety As Amber says, the redesigned Impreza Sport meets her needs for fun and agility. It's eye-catching and provides peace of mind with EyeSight and other safety tech. Safety and reliability is important to her, and that’s also why she enjoys putting customers into a Subaru every day. 2.0 liters of power pulls the Subaru Impreza here and there. All-wheel drive makes it an easier drive. Meanwhile, her Bengal cat, Cairo, waits for her to get home from work. All work and no play makes for a dull Subaru owner, so Amber makes sure to spend time with Cairo and her friends when not at Goldstein Subaru. Amber would love to say hello! Visit her today at Goldstein Subaru in Albany, NY. Ask Amber to tell you about the Impreza - you just may end up owning the same vehicle she has - even if you don’t choose Island Blue Pearl. Venetian Red Pearl, perhaps?  Ice Silver Metallic? So many choices at Goldstein Subaru! Let Amber help you choose yours, call her today at 518-869-1250. And click this link to find your Impreza now.
