About Capitol Subaru

Proud to be a truly local dealership.

While Capitol Auto Group has satisfied customers throughout the state of Oregon, we're proud to call ourselves a local dealership. For more than 80 years, we've been serving the greater Salem area, and we are deeply invested in this community.

Now, we're expanding our dealerships to serve you better, with three brand-new stores planned for our Salem Parkway location. We've already broken ground on the future Capitol Toyota/Scion store, and will be starting on the Capitol Subaru and Capitol Chevrolet/Cadillac stores soon. Not only will the new stores offer you a larger selection, the construction work is giving the local economy a boost!

It's all part of our greater commitment to ensure that Salem continues to be a vibrant place to live and work---and that Capitol Auto Group will always be the best place to get your new car, truck or SUV.

The secret of our success.

It's simple: treat customers right, and they'll come back. Genuine customer service is at the heart of everything we do at Capitol Auto Group. Over the years, we've learned what customers want in a car-buying experience---respect, integrity, and a fair price. That's what sets us apart---and it's what you can count on every time you walk in our doors.

We have a strong and committed sales staff with many years of experience satisfying our customers' needs. And with a new generation joining the business, we will be here to serve you for years to come!

Service you can count on.

We understand how much you count on your vehicle. That's why you can count on Capitol Auto Group to keep it running in top shape. Our expert technicians service all major makes and models of domestic and import cars. We have a General Motors World Class Technician and Toyota Master Technicians on staff to provide the highest level of factory authorized service.

Whether it's a regular oil change or a detailed repair, you can trust Capitol Auto Group to get the job done right the first time, and get you back on the road as soon as possible! To schedule an appointment, just give us a call or fill out the convenient online service appointment form.

We can also help when you need parts or accessories for your Toyota, Scion, Subaru, Chevy or Cadillac. We carry a large selection at all five of our stores. Let us know what you're looking for, and we'll find what you need.

We look forward to serving you!

Hear What Our Customers Have to Say

Have bought/leased at least 5 Subarus and 3 Chevy pick ups from Capitol. Will go back there to buy/lease again when the Subaru lease is up. Service is great, timely and accurate the first time. We have all our vehicles, including a Ford Motorhome van, serviced there. Purchasing is as easy as it can be for this, no pressure from our sales rep., Jackie. Building and grounds are well-kept, the fireplace to sit and read by is comfy, and the popcorn is good.

Hi Dan:

 

Just wanted to thank you for your courtesy, professionalism & product knowledge.  Our journey to select a new car took six months and we are sure that you must have wondered when we just came to sit in the car on the cold January day or a couple of weeks later to do our test drives of the Outbacks.  Then it was a couple of months before you heard from us again.  But we were working on the project the whole time and your business card never left Russ' pocket.

 

Like your card, the Outback never left our list of cars and, in the end, it emerge as the decisive winner.

 

When it did, we gave you a call; both you and the rest of the Capitol team made our purchase a pleasant experience.

 

We took the car for its inaugural run that took us 550 miles of heavy rain and a wide variety of roads.  From little twisties to major freeways, through it all the Outback remained poised, quiet and rock steady.  Just what we were seeking.

 

You might also be interested to know that the auto insurance only went up $54 a year.  So from a 2004 Scion xB to a 2011 Outback, there was a clear indication of what impact the Subaru's safety features have in the insurance world.

 

Many Thanks,

RUSS & ROSEMARIE

Dear Thomas,

 

I apologize for the delay in writing to thank you for the excellent service you gave on the purchase of my 2010 Outback.

 

All loose ends were tied up and I sincerely appreciate your follow-through.  Thank you for going that "extra mile" and for your cordiality.

Capitol always does a superb job on the service front.  I wouldn't think of taking my car anywhere else just to save a few nickels.

 

You folks run an outstanding dealership ? I mean it!

Hello Rory,

 

I just wanted to thank you for everything you did to help me in my car-buying process at Capitol Auto.  I am extremely happy with my new Subaru Forester.  I appreciate the confidence you put in me in taking my word that I would follow through on the purchase of the Subaru.  You went the extra mile, and so did the others that helped me at Capitol.

 

Jackie was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in her administration of my test drive of the Subaru Forester.  After which, I was fully equipped to make an informed decision.  Billy Hamill was absolutely incredible.  I really can't say enough about him.  He was polite and down-to-earth from beginning to end, and he knew his stuff.  He definitely went above and beyond in his service to my mother and I as well.  He not only gave us a great suggestion for where to eat lunch, but even took the time to draw up a map for us, which we really needed.  In addition, Billy was very nice to talk to, which a relaxed and stress-free environment, making me feel much more comfortable.

 

Being that this was my first auto purchase, I was quite stressed and nervous going into it, but thanks to everyone at Capitol, and Billy especially, I felt really good leaving the dealership in my new car. 

 

Thanks again, Rory, and I hope things go well for you.  I'll definitely be back for my future auto needs.

 

Sincerely,

DOUBLAS JOHNSON
