What the Subaru Love Promise HEART Award Represents for Our Customers

The Subaru Love Promise HEART Award stands as one of the automotive industry's most prestigious recognitions, celebrating dealerships that demonstrate exceptional dedication to customer service and community involvement. At Grand Subaru, earning this distinguished 2026 award represents more than an achievement—it reflects our ongoing commitment to treating every customer like family and making a positive difference in the Bensenville community and beyond.

The HEART Award recognizes retailers who go above and beyond standard expectations, embodying the core values of the Subaru Love Promise through meaningful action. For our customers, this recognition means continued access to the highest standards of customer care, transparent service practices, and a dealership partner genuinely invested in their satisfaction and well-being.

Earning this award for 2026 builds upon our previous recognitions starting in 2021, when we began receiving the Subaru Love Promise Customer and Community Commitment Award. This consistent acknowledgment demonstrates that our dedication to excellence is not temporary, but rather a foundational principle guiding every interaction at Grand Subaru.

Our recognition with the 2026 Subaru Love Promise HEART Award reflects not only our customer service excellence but also our deep commitment to the communities we serve. At Grand Subaru, we believe that being more than a dealership means being an active, caring member of the Bensenville area and the greater Chicago region. Our community engagement initiatives focus on making tangible, meaningful differences in the lives of our neighbors.

As an Eco-Friendly Retailer, we participate in programs that support environmental sustainability, including recycling hard-to-recycle items to reduce landfill waste, participating in local environmental cleanup events, and supporting tree planting initiatives.
