Byers Airport Subaru By The Airport!
We work only 15 minutes east from downtown Columbus, just south of the airport on Ohio 317 and we live in the same suburbs as you. We visit the Columbus Museum of Art and walk through the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. It may be our job to sell cars, but we want to do that in a way that enriches the surrounding area.
This past month our dealership family had a great time collecting bicycles for the Columbus chapter of Starfish Assignment. This amazing organization works with local police departments to help identify areas of need in the communities they live and serve in. Specializing in micro-actions, small efforts lead to big results. This is exactly what happened when we helped collect bikes and provide technicians for their bike drive. Over 200 bikes, and helmets were donated to the Bikes and Badges event and fun was had by children and adults alike.

 We are proud to support and help sponsor some great races and runners with M3S Sports. Check there website for upcoming races and we can't wait to see you at the finish line!
