WHO WE ARE

Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences.

At Subaru of Santa Monica, we serve a community that's passionate, values-driven, and deeply loyal to a brand they believe in. Subaru guests aren't just buying a car -- they're choosing a lifestyle.
