My new car!! - Mary Ann F.
I purchased a new 2024 Subaru Ascent yesterday at Goldstein. My sales consultant, Justin Pakatar did a fantastic job with handling my trade in and purchase of my new vehicle. Justin was very thorough, knowledgeable and patient with the process. We took a test drive and went over every detail inside the car. The entire staff that I met were very welcoming which made me feel at home. This is my fourth Subaru vehicle and my first time at Goldstein. I will definitely remain a customer there for future purchases and refer my friends and family there as well. I left there with my new car feeling very comfortable behind the wheel. Mary Ann Fries
Subaru Loves to Help: Operation Warm Event at Trinity Place - Mercedes M.
Goldstein Subaru has proudly partnered with the Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region located at 15 Trinity Place Albany NY, a local support organization to help children & families in our community. Trinity Alliance is a major hub for coordinating and leveraging resources for residents in the most economically challenged neighborhoods. Some of the amazing services Trinity Alliance provides are: Active Parenting Workshop, Community Recovery, Empowerment Services, Early Childhood, Family Support, Foster Care Prevention Program, a Food Pantry for those in need that can choose from an assortment of food goods, and a community Baby shower for underserved parents who may not have the means to get all the necessities they need for their newborn’s arrival. They provide so much more and the list goes on. I was honored an invitation to go on tour with Goldstein Subaru’s owner Stefanie Goldstein to find out all of the amazing resources this place has to offer. Trinity Alliance has touched my heart in many ways. Goldstein Subaru through Subaru Loves to Help: Operation Warm has donated an astounding 288 new winter coats to Trinity Alliance in all variety of sizes for both boys and girls to relieve the expense for parents who may not have the means to buy one. While we were touring the facility the CEO of Trinity Alliance stated that all the materials for all of the programs they offer were taking up a ton of space, leaving no room or space for the employees to work out of. Stating their next project would be to look for storage space. Without hesitation Goldstein Subaru stepped up to the plate and offered to rent a storage space for Trinity Alliance, and that the expenses would be fully covered by Goldstein Subaru to relieve that burden so that way Trinity Alliance can continue their focus on more important things like the community. Seeing the empathy that the Goldstein Subaru Team has shown these people was very heartwarming and special to see. Thank you, Goldstein Subaru Team for always going above and beyond and never taking a step back from our community.

Schatzi-A Tale of Patience - Alison S.
When Schatzi came to the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, it seemed as if the world was against him. Brought in by a Good Samaritan, Schatzi came in with another cat petrified and with a fresh wound on his neck. Schatzi did what he knew to do: he hid. To be extra cautious due to his neck wound, Schatzi was placed in a program that required extra monitoring and more restrictions to ensure he was healthy. He was placed in a room with another cat in the same program. These two cats bonded quickly. At first, they were both incredibly wary of all of the humans coming in and out. After about a month of regular interactions, Schatzi began to open up and actually began seeking out attention and affection from those coming into his room. Soon, he became the mayor of the cat floor. Everyone had to stop by and say hello! He even showed his roommate that humans weren't so scary. After a few months of being overlooked, the perfect family came in and scooped up this sweet boy. Goldstein Subaru has made this story possible. Without the support of Goldstein Subaru, MHHS would not have the time or ability to help these animals. With the support of Goldstein Subaru through myriad programs and most importantly Share the Love, MHHS knows that it has a reliable partner in the community multiplying its voice and message. MHHS is forever grateful for the partnership it has with Goldstein Subaru.
Schatzi Finds His Forever Home - Marguerite P.
Schatzi was a handsome 5-year-old tiger cat who came to us in March of 2023 with a large, ruptured abscess on his neck and two puncture wounds. Our vet team cleaned the wound and treated it with antibiotics and watched is closely until it was healed. Because Schatzi had lived with other cats and was an indoor/outdoor cat, we couldn’t be certain of what type of animal had bitten him. Therefore we had to follow some special rules, which included quarantine from other animals. He was made available for a foster-to-adopt trial, where the adopter would foster him until his quarantine period ended. When his foster-to-adopt family met him, Schatzi immediately warmed up to them. They took him home and made their adoption official in October at a Goldstein Subaru Adoption Event. Schatzi also has a new canine brother and are all very happy together.
Chili's Tale of Hope - Marguerite P.
Chili was a 7-year-old pup who came to us in March of 2023. She was suffering from a long-standing pyometra, a serious infection in the uterus. She was very ill. Untreated, this condition is life-threatening. Our vet team immediately spayed her and removed her uterus. Initially, her bloodwork was very abnormal due to the sepsis caused by the infection. Because she wasn’t feeling good when she arrived, she was nervous and a bit “spicy,” which is why we named her Chili. As she started feeling better, she began to trust our staff. With time and patience, she came to have many friends at the shelter. Our Behavior and Enrichment Team learned that Chili loved playing with puzzle toys and any food-related toy that would work her brain. They also worked with her on sharing her toys and food without becoming reactive. This is common with shelter dogs and our adoption counselors made sure to explain this behavior to potential adopters. In October, after 7 months in our care, Chili found her forever home at one of our Goldstein Subaru Adoption Events. She went home with someone who understood her background and her behavioral needs. Her new family reports that she is doing wonderfully!
Thanksgiving Car Miracle - Michelle H.
While I was on a work trip, an animal broke into my car and wreaked havoc. It chewed up my wires, seats, seatbelts, everything. I somehow drove the car almost 400 miles so I could reach my next destination, in the Albany area, and dropped my car off with Goldstein Subaru. There wasn’t much progress on my car, until I spoke with Karen, who listened to my story on the phone, and knew just who to talk to, Nicole Sabatini. Once Nicole became involved, things started moving on finding solutions to fix my car. It was one hurdle after another. Parts were on a national back order. More parts were found destroyed as new parts were installed. Nicole and the Parts Manager worked to figure out a solution, getting me the car back the day before the Thanksgiving holiday- my thanksgiving miracle. Nicole was very responsive, engaged, and a true customer service star throughout.

Gotham - Alison S.
Gotham arrived to MHHS as a stray. While we did find out who his owner was, they did not redeem him. We were confident that we could find a home for this spunky, silly, smart young guy. He may not have the best manners, but boy is he cute! Once we discovered how much he liked to play with other dogs, we really got to see his goofy side shine through. Gotham's new forever family came to the shelter in early October looking for a fun, active dog. Gotham fit the bill and stole their hearts.
Did Goldstein Subaru go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
