TPMS caps - Linda P.
We had a customer come into the parts department to ask for the part number and price for valve stem caps. She misplaced hers and wanted to purchase replacements. She looked shocked when the parts employee said he can provide some for free for her. She insisted that she pay for them and explained how she was going to order them online but didn't want to get the wrong part. He insisted that she take them for free. She was so thankful.
Small gesture of kindness - Linda P.
"My husband just died, and I have to move back to my country.", was the first thing my client came in and said this morning as she checked in her car. She explained that due to her husband's passing, she has to return to Mexico and plans to sell the car. Before selling it, she wanted to ensure the car was in good condition and clean because it's the right thing to do for the next owner. She opted to wait while we completed the service and detail. We performed the maintenance and a multi-point inspection. We provided her with the inspection video and sheet so she could share it with a potential buyer. The car was in excellent condition and didn’t need a full detail—just a light touch-up and wipe-down from the pollen. We walked out to the car with her to check it together, and she was very happy to see it clean and presentable. When I told her there would be no charge for the service or cleaning, she broke down in tears. She shared how stressful things had been since her husband passed and expressed how blessed she felt by the kind gesture. We wished her the best in her future travels and offered our heartfelt support. These are difficult times, and it's important we support each other when we can.
Clarksburg High School Athletics Support! - Wendy M.
Over the past 4-plus years, Fitzgerald Subaru of Gaithersburg has been a generous sponsor of Clarksburg High School Athletics. Fitzgerald's support has enabled us to purchase brand new electronic scoreboards for both our softball and baseball fields! The old manual scoreboards were broken and falling apart (and no one could tell what the score was!). These purchases lifted up our teams as well as the overall CHS community. We are so grateful for Fitzgerald's generous support!

Fitzgerald Subaru Brings Operation Warm to the Salvation Army! - Hilet S.
With Subaru’s Loves to Help: Operation Warm, the Salvation Army was able to start off our new year giving to the community in a big way, through the support of Fitzgerald Subaru of Gaithersburg! With a donation of 324 shoes and socks, 200+ families were eager to receive their needs. So much so, the 2 hour early arrival time forced us to start the event early! Safe to say, there was no shortage of smiles as children ran around the halls in their brand new sneakers and parents watched on in gratefulness. One parent even said she cannot believe how her son had just told her he needed new shoes, but she didn’t know how she was going to purchase new ones as household funds were limited. The Salvation Army is so thankful for the donations provided by Fitzgerald Subaru so that well deserving families could be helped in times of great need!

Community Sponsorship - Muna B.
Mr. H. Purchased a new Subaru Outback from us, he is very loyal customer to the brand this is his second Subaru. In the purchasing process, Mr. H. talked about how Subaru cares a lot about the community and always support it. Mr. H. mentioned an event he's part of it calls Montgomery County Interfaith 5K event. It's a community event on Labor Day, each year on Labor Day morning they bring around 500 people (runners, walkers, volunteers and family members) of different faiths and backgrounds together. The race is open to runners of all ages and abilities, and it is a great way to bring people of many faiths together and support a good cause. Last year, the race raised over $9,000 for local charities. We took this opportunity, we sponsored this event and donated $750 to sponsor the 5K to support our community.
Open House Success - Sharie S.
We held our open house for back-to-school at the end of August, and Fitzgerald Subaru was eager to attend and help our parents learn about car seat safety. This was a first for our school community, and the Fitzgerald team went out of their way to be welcoming as they approached families to share information. Their setup was great- the visuals and actual items they brought helped parents to see what they were discussing. I will happily welcome them back.

Loves to Care for Childrens National - Marci H.
Hi friends at Fitzgerald Subaru Gaithersburg - I would like to start by thanking you from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of my team here at the Children’s National Hospital in Montgomery County, for the awesome donation of blankets for the children we treat. Getting to meet your team and sharing our site with you was fun. As I am sure you can imagine it is frightening and sometimes painful for the children and families who come here for their healthcare needs. The providers, nurses and staff are always looking for creative ways to ease the children’s pain, comfort them and make them feel more at ease while they are with us. The generous donation of blankets you provided, helps us comfort them while they are here and continues to warm and comfort them at home. The smiles we see on the children’s faces when they receive one of your blankets is priceless! Our nurses and providers who take care of the children love having the opportunity to offer something comforting in addition to their words while ensuring the children get all they need to heal and get well. See the wonderful pictures of our Hematology/Oncology team presenting blankets to several of our patients receiving their chemotherapy just the other day! Please be assured that your blankets will be put to good use to provide comfort to those children right here in our community. Thank you for your generosity and continued support of Children’s National Hospital. With gratitude and sincerity - Marci Harper Scott - Practice Manager and the entire team at Children’s National Hospital of Montgomery County !
