Part of the Import Auto Group, Subaru of Cranbrook, is moving to a larger, completely renovated facility which used to house Hillcrest Hyundai.

The newly renovated Subaru dealership will be housed in a roomy 10,000 square foot building and have a larger parts and service facility as well—substantially
larger than their previous facility.

"We are anticipating that the project will be completed in early November," said Jana McMullin, assistant General Manager at the Import Auto Group.
"We are looking forward to being in bigger premises and our former Subaru building will become a Nissan used car and truck centre."

There have been a number of changes at the Import Auto Group over the last year, with both the Hyundai and Volkswagen dealerships being sold to other automotive groups.

The Import Auto Group will now concentrate on Sun Valley Nissan and, of course, the expanded Subaru of Cranbrook dealership.

The Import Auto Group is located on Cranbrook's busy and high visibility Cranbrook Street.  The two popular automotive brand name dealerships are open Monday to Saturday.
