We are a family-owned dealership with an outstanding reputation since opening in 1998. Out of 65 Subaru dealers in New England, we are currently ranked #27 in New Car Sales. We were previously in the Top 10 — are you the leader who can get us back where we belong?

• Lead 19 team members across our sales department
• Work directly with the Sales Director to make thoughtful, decisive decisions — without bureaucracy or red tape
• Have the freedom and authority to turn creative leadership into measurable results

WHY THIS IS MAJOR LEAGUE

• Largest pre-owned Subaru inventory in the country — 200+ pre-owned Subarus in stock
• Service Department ranked #2 in retention, generating strong repeat and referral opportunities
• 10-acre campus with 500+ parking spaces — built for growth
