A magical March! Dalton Subaru, Subaru of America and Humble Design teamed up together to help jazz up and furnish a families home coming out of homelessness in Chula Vista, CA.

Subaru Loves to Help and by reaching into our local community we’re able to help forge a brighter path for a young growing family.

By providing a furnished home, the family coming out of homelessness feels more dignified and considerably cuts the rate of falling back into a pattern of fall-out. For this particular theme, the Humble Designers went with an airy open decoration with light oranges, teals and alot of white.

We’d like to thank everyone who continues to support Dalton Subaru and we look forward to representing you all in our upcoming community missions!

Customer Yelp Review – Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us!

Just bought a new Crosstrek here and let me tell you about my fantastic experience! My sales rep was Nancita W., and her knowledge of all the models and features was fantastic. I had never owned/ridden in one before and was looking for a “compact” type SUV. (I had stopped by 4 other nearby brand dealerships prior to stopping here as well.)

We looked at several new models and test drove them. When I asked about certified used vehicles, she hunted them down on the lot to show me and discuss features. She knew these vehicles inside and out and her passion and knowledge as a long time Subaru owner really sold me. I had not at all expected to buy that day, and in fact, had planned on negotiating any vehicle I was interested in from home but I felt so comfortable with Nancita (who also guided me through a lot of the paperwork) that I really wanted to do the deal with her, for a new 2024 vehicle on the lot.

I can’t recommend her enough! She even introduced me to the service team and walked me to the service area so I would know where to go and what to expect for my first oil change! And also prepped my car to perfection when I picked it up and had the seat adjusted lower, which I had made a casual comment about earlier in the day. It’s these small details of customer service that probably impressed me the most. And shout out to Jimmy in management and Jay in Finance who made me feel comfortable and were patient with my questions.

This dealership is a 100+ out of 10 especially with such great sales reps like Nancita! Clearly they know how to hire honest, patient, knowledgeable and hard working (!!) people. Don’t be afraid to come in and look around. Thank you for my new Crosstrek, I’m excited about the years of fun adventures that we’ll share.


Dalton Subaru is providing comfort, hope, and confidence to children in South Bay San Diego who are in need.

Imagine having to go without proper fitting shoes and socks on a regular basis. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country and even here in San Diego County, this can be a harsh reality.

Helping others is the key to a strong community which is why Dalton Subaru believes in helping to
support individuals and families in urgent need. And this year, during Subaru Loves to Help® month, we joined Subaru and retailers nationwide in partnering with Operation Warm, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. This partnership will continue to amplify our support for those who need it most.

On February 28, 2024 Dalton Subaru hosted an Operation Warm Event with SBCS to provide children in urgent need with brand-new shoes, socks and warm coats.

These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, they can have a significant impact on a child’s mental and emotional well-being. These items can mean the difference between going to school or not; between participating in activities or sitting out. No child should ever have to face these circumstances.

That’s why Subaru and its retailers like us are proud to be the largest automotive supporter of Operation Warm. Through this partnership and other historical Subaru Loves to Help efforts, Subaru and our retailers will have helped more than 750,000 children and adults in urgent need so far.

This initiative is part of the Subaru Love Promise, our commitment to improving lives in the communities where we live and work. And it’s just one of the reasons why Dalton Subaru is more than a car dealer and Subaru is More Than a Car Company®

Meet Mini

Feb 29, 2024

December was filled with delight for Sylvia and family when she went out and adopted Mini on December 11th, 2023 from the El Cajon Humane Society.

Mini had just turned 4 years old and was 1.5lbs over her 3lb weight limit. Her paws couldn’t with stand her weight and they rubbed rough against the friction of daily walks. However, after adoption, Mini has turned the corner and healed her paws and is treated like a total Princess!

Hooray for adopting Mini! Thanks for sharing your story with us while during your Subaru Service with Dalton Subaru. We hope you get to enjoy our on-site Dog Park!

This 2023 Subaru WRX Limited includes the Dalton Performance Package. While true this build is more of an aesthetic build, a lot of the exterior features are functional while adding sporty flare.

One of the benefits of driving a pre-build with the accessories already included saves time on your part, labor, tool set-up and Subaru spec know-how. However, if you’ve got the project builder in you, our Parts Team is more than ready to help you choose the exact Subaru accessories to help get your project off the ground.

This particular WRX build is equipped with Subaru OEM and STi parts all official and tinted windows. The great thing about an accessorized Subaru from Dalton Subaru is the warranty options you get right off the bat vs doing the build at home.

Why Choose a Subaru

When it comes to purchasing a new vehicle, the decision goes beyond just color and design. It’s about choosing a brand that aligns with your values, lifestyle, and needs. Subaru has long stood out in the automotive world for its commitment to safety, reliability, and community. At Dalton Subaru, we’re proud to represent a brand that goes the extra mile in every aspect. As December brings the year to a close with fantastic deals, let’s explore why a Subaru isn’t just a car, but a lifetime companion.

Unrivaled Safety: A Commitment to Your Wellbeing

The Subaru Safety Philosophy

Built to Protect: Subaru’s core principle is safety. Every vehicle is designed with the well-being of passengers in mind, boasting high safety ratings across the board. The brand’s commitment is reflected in its continuous investment in safety technologies, including the EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which acts as a second pair of eyes on the road, and the reinforced ring-shaped frame that provides increased protection in case of a collision.

Advanced Safety Features

Adaptive and Proactive: Subaru vehicles come equipped with advanced features like pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist, making them some of the safest vehicles on the road. These technologies not only protect you in case of an accident but actively work to prevent one from occurring in the first place.

Unmatched Reliability: With You for the Long Haul

Built to Last

97% of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today: This statistic is a testament to the brand’s durability and quality. Subarus are built to withstand the test of time, meaning you can count on your vehicle for years to come.

Dependability in All Conditions

Ready for Anything: Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is standard on most models, offering exceptional stability, efficiency, and a quicker response to conditions. This system ensures that you’re ready for whatever the road or weather throws your way.

Eco-Friendly: Driving Towards a Greener Future

Commitment to the Earth

Environmentally Conscious: Subaru is deeply committed to environmental stewardship as the first automotive plant in the U.S. to achieve zero-landfill status. When you choose Subaru, you’re supporting a company that cares for the planet.

Fuel Efficiency and Emissions

Efficient Adventures: Subaru’s vehicles are designed with fuel efficiency in mind, helping reduce your carbon footprint and fuel costs. The brand continually innovates to produce vehicles that are both enjoyable to drive and gentle on the environment.

Community and Culture: More Than a Car Company

Giving Back

Love Promises: Subaru’s Love Promise is a pledge to do right by the communities in which we all live and work. From supporting pets to helping the environment to aiding local communities, owning a Subaru means being part of a larger effort to spread love and positivity.
