Long before Dakota Subaru Experts, Tanner was buying Subarus that needed work, fixing them up, and selling them on the side, or working on Subaru's for people. At the time, the goal wasn't to build a Subaru business. He was using the money he made from the cars to pay for flight training.
Flying isn't cheap, especially when you're working through your certifications and building enough hours to make it a career. Fixing and selling Subarus helped Tanner pay his way through it. Eventually, he earned his private and commercial pilot license, CFI, CFII, MEI, built his flight time, and was getting ready to make the move to the airlines.
Then COVID happened. Airlines stopped hiring, and the career Tanner had spent years working toward suddenly wasn't an option. Tanner went in another direction and decided to give business a shot, something he'd always had a knack for.
Over the next five years, Tanner and his wife Mariah built businesses, tried different things, made plenty of mistakes, and learned a lot along the way. Somewhere in those years, business became more than the backup plan. They genuinely fell in love with building a company.

Eventually, that brought Tanner right back to something he'd known for years...
Subarus.



Regular oil changes help protect your engine and keep your Subaru running its best. Every oil change also includes a complimentary comprehensive vehicle inspection.

Once each year, we'll review your Subaru's overall condition, upcoming maintenance, and any recommendations so you can plan ahead with confidence.

If something comes up with your Subaru, your Care Plan includes one diagnostic appointment of up to one hour each membership year.

Care Plan members receive 10% off qualifying parts and labor throughout the year, with savings of up to $300 per repair order.

As a Care Plan customer, you'll receive priority scheduling whenever possible, helping you get back on the road sooner.

Whether you're buying another Subaru or preparing to sell yours, we'll help you better understand its condition before making a decision.

Every visit is documented, giving you a complete service history that's easy to reference and can add value when it's time to sell.

If you sell your Subaru before your Care Plan expires, the remaining benefits can be transferred to the new owner, adding value to your vehicle.

The Subaru Care Plan is an annual membership designed to help you maintain your Subaru throughout the year. Once you join, you'll have access to exclusive benefits including routine maintenance, diagnostic credit, repair savings, priority scheduling, and more. Your membership renews annually, so you can continue enjoying those benefits year after year.
Your Care Plan includes:
- Up to 3 oil changes per membership year
- Complimentary comprehensive inspection with every oil change
- Annual Subaru Health Review
- One hour diagnostic credit each year
- 10% off qualifying parts and labor (up to $300 savings per repair order)
- Priority scheduling
- Free Subaru pre-purchase and pre-sale inspections
- Complete digital service history
- Transferable membership if you sell your Subaru
Diagnostic benefit is limited to one diagnostic appointment of up to one hour per membership year. Any unused time does not carry over or remain available for a future appointment. Additional diagnostic time, if needed, is billed separately with your approval.
Your Care Plan includes up to three oil changes during each membership year. Every oil change also includes a complimentary comprehensive vehicle inspection to help monitor your Subaru's overall condition. Because every driver is different, some owners may only need one or two oil changes each year, while others may need more. Additional oil changes outside of your included three are always available at our standard rates.
The Annual Subaru Health Review is a more in-depth evaluation of your Subaru's overall health. In addition to reviewing your vehicle's service history and upcoming maintenance, we'll connect our Subaru diagnostic equipment to scan for stored and pending fault codes, review important system data, and identify concerns that may not be visible during a routine inspection.
While the comprehensive inspection included with every oil change focuses on your vehicle's current condition, the Annual Subaru Health Review provides a broader look at your Subaru's overall health and helps you plan for future maintenance and repairs. Most members complete this during their first visit of each membership year, but it can also be scheduled separately if needed.
Each Care Plan includes one annual diagnostic credit of up to one hour. If your check engine light comes on or you're experiencing a concern with your Subaru, we'll use that credit toward diagnosing the issue. Once we've identified the cause, we'll provide you with a detailed estimate and discuss any recommended repairs before moving forward.
Diagnostic benefit is limited to one diagnostic appointment of up to one hour per membership year. Any unused time does not carry over or remain available for a future appointment. Additional diagnostic time, if needed, is billed separately with your approval.
Care Plan customers receive 10% off qualifying parts and labor, with savings capped at $300 per repair order. The discount does not apply to batteries, sublet services, customer-supplied parts, or other promotional offers.
The Care Plan is tied to one specific Subaru so we can build and maintain a complete service history for that vehicle. If you sell your Subaru before your membership expires, the remaining benefits can be transferred to the new owner. If you replace your Subaru with another Subaru before your Care Plan expires, we'll apply a prorated credit toward a new Care Plan for your replacement vehicle.
No. Each Subaru requires its own Care Plan because every vehicle has its own maintenance history, inspection records, and repair needs. If your household owns multiple Subarus, each vehicle can be enrolled separately to receive its own benefits.
Care Plans purchased with a credit or debit card automatically renew each year unless canceled before the renewal date. We'll send you a reminder approximately 30 days before your renewal so there are no surprises. If you originally purchased your Care Plan with cash or check, we'll contact you when it's time to renew.
You may cancel your automatic renewal at any time before your next renewal date. Once a Care Plan has been purchased, membership fees are non-refundable. If you sell your Subaru during your membership year, your remaining benefits can be transferred to the new owner of that vehicle.
Care Plan customers receive priority scheduling whenever possible. While we can't guarantee same-day service, we'll do our best to get your Subaru into the shop as quickly as our schedule allows.
Yes. Care Plan customers receive complimentary pre-purchase and pre-sale inspections for Subaru vehicles. Whether you're buying another Subaru or preparing to sell your current one, we'll help you better understand the vehicle's overall condition so you can make a more informed decision.
Joining is easy. You can enroll online through our website or ask a member of our team during your next visit. Once you're enrolled, you'll have immediate access to your Care Plan benefits and can begin taking advantage of them throughout the year.
Your Subaru Care Plan benefits reset each year on your membership renewal date. Unused benefits, including oil changes and diagnostic credit, do not roll over into the next membership year.
