Excellent Service - Paula K
I wanted to let you know that my husband and I bought a 2025 Subaru Forester and love it. The salesperson was Jerry Cronenwett. He was excellent at putting me at ease during this process. He is very personable with a great sence of humor. Jerry explained everything to us about the different vehicles and found one that we wanted certain things in it. The vehicle was not on the lot but said it had everything we were looking for. We trusted him, so we purchased it sight unseen. When we brought the car home the next day we saw some marks across the passenger side and thought it was the design. At one time we noticed that this same mark was not on the drivers side. We took it in to show Jerry and said that they could buff it out. He said it was from the plastic put on it for traveling on the carrier. We received a call the next day and said that they didn't like how the buffing did come out very nice so they said they had to just replace the panels. To me that was more then we expected. To us that showed how far you were willing to go for your customers. That was super!!! Jerry even took the car out for a car wash. That was something we really didn't expect. The whole experience was just out of this world! You don't see this kind of service anywhere these days. Just let Jerry Cronenwett know that he is a very nice person and don't change anything. For a situation you go into dreading to have another car payment, and leave being excited about it was unreal. This is our last car at our age, so this was an excellent choice for us. Another thing is not to get rid of Randy's position or Randy and all. He was a godsend explaining the car to us. There were things on this car that we did not know what they did. My husband and I are 65 and found out we were behind the times. I was very overwhelmed after reading the booklet that I didn't feel I could drive it. (lol) You have a good thing going with this group on Coliseum blvd.

Zeigler Subaru of Fort Wayne makes our little corner of the world an even brighter place to call home! The partnership between Zeigler Subaru and Humane Fort Wayne has been making a significant impact on the lives of animals and the community.

Helping Kids Take Steps Forward - Emily M
As a part of Operation Warm, team members from Zeigler Subaru came to our domestic violence shelter with pairs of shoes and socks for the children staying within YWCA Northeast Indiana's walls. Through the generosity of Zeigler Subaru, we were able to give shoes to over 20 children that evening and the extra shoes are able to be given out as, inevitably, more and more children come through our doors. We at YWCA Northeast Indiana continue to be grateful to have such a great partnership with Zeigler Subaru. They help us in our mission to empower individuals to take steps forward into a life without violence.
Cedar Canyon Elementary Therapy Dog - Courtney B
Cedar Canyon Elementary School principal, Courtney Bailey, had an idea to bring in a therapy dog as part of their staff. The hope in having the dog is to lesson some of the social/emotional impacts that students deal with daily while providing an even better educational experience for kids. In order to fulfill this position, she turned to the community to help fund the training for the therapy dog. Zeigler Subaru was gracious in their donation to help make the dream a reality. In October, Cedar Canyon was matched with a 6-month-old, female Australian Labradoodle named Birdie. She is currently in training at Ultimate Canine in Westfield, IN. The dog will be presented to the school in April of 2025 and will have completed her training to be a certified therapy dog. We are so thankful for Zeigler Subaru and their generosity. We look forward to having them present when she is delivered.
23 Lives Saved! - Cody Jo A
This year we are very thankful for our partnership with Ziegler Subaru. In October, we hosted an onsite adoption event that resulted in 23 pets finding their furever homes in just one day! Ziegler's team was wonderful to work with and their continued support of our mission is reflected in the happy moments we witness between our adoptables and their new-found families. Thank you Ziegler Subaru for facilitating another successful adoption event where 23 animals' lives were saved!
Learning to pivot with the right partner! - Rachel B
Zeigler Subaru has been a great partner to Humane Fort Wayne as we navigated several giant milestones in 2024! Just this year we completed construction on a 25,000 square foot facility. With that we hosted ribbon cuttings, open houses, and moved our adoptable animals into the new space. Just as we were getting settled, Zeigler began construction on their own showroom putting us both at a disadvantage - where do we host our regular October adoption event? We decided to host an onsite adoption event at our new shelter with and offsite vibe, with photobooth, and Subaru pop-up station with new pet parent kits, adoption certificates and ID Tag engraving! Now it's Share the Love Season, and we're pivoting once again to help Zeigler engage and decorate for the season while honoring and recognizing Humane Fort Wayne as their local charity of choice. Having a partner that will come alongside you in any season has been crucial to our success. And I believe Zeigler Subaru is the perfect partner - in EVERY SEASON!
