At Subaru of Bend, we’re proud to be the oldest Subaru dealership on the West Coast – serving Central Oregon since 1973. As a fourth-generation, family-owned business, our roots go even deeper. The Thomas Family began selling tractors in Madras back in 1935, built on hard work, integrity, and a deep connection to the community.
While technology and vehicles have evolved, our commitment to people has stayed the same. When you buy a car from Subaru of Bend, you’re not just making a purchase – you’re joining our extended family.
We’re honored to support many local organizations that help make Central Oregon such a special place to live.
We also invite you to hear directly from our customers – check out their experiences by clicking the review icons below. And don’t forget to follow us on Facebook to stay up to date on local events, community initiatives, and upcoming contests.
Thank you for being a part of what makes Central Oregon great. We look forward to serving you!

Help us as we battle hunger. In a world of nearly 8 billion people, it may seem like a tall order. But anything worth doing is typically challenging. And this worthwhile goal is more than worth doing. We understand there’s no quick and easy fix to the problem. But while we have the energy to help, we’ll do everything we can to reduce the struggles of our community members facing hunger. No one should have to wonder where their next meal will come from. Help us reduce hunger.
