Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing, trade-ins, financing, test drives, warranty, and hours — answered straight by Geordie Parker.

Where is Geordie's Auto Authority located?

I'm Geordie Parker, a salesman at Dewey Griffin Subaru — 1800 Iowa St, Bellingham, WA 98229. Call or text 360.500.0325 before visiting to confirm I'm in.

What are your hours?

I'm at the dealership Wednesday and Thursday, 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM. My schedule rotates, so text ahead to confirm — and feel free to text anytime, even on my days off.

How do I book a test drive?

Call or text 360.500.0325 with the car you want to drive and when. I'll have it pulled up front, warmed up, and ready. You can also use the booking form, which opens a pre-written text — just hit send.

Are your listed prices negotiable?

Used-car prices are set against the live Northwest market, and they reflect reconditioning already done — tires, brakes, service. Ask what's been done to the car and you'll see where the value sits. New Subaru pricing is set by the manufacturer; the conversation there is about availability and the right trim.

Do you take trade-ins?

Yes — and I'll show you the math. Trade values are based on live market data minus reconditioning costs, and Washington gives you a sales-tax credit on your trade-in value that saves real money. Text photos and details to 360.500.0325 for a preliminary range. Read the full breakdown in my trade-in vs. private sale guide.

Can I get financing with less-than-perfect credit?

Our finance team works with multiple lenders and buyers across the credit spectrum, including first-time buyers. A down payment, stable documentable income, and a realistic vehicle choice help most. Talk to me honestly before you apply — here's how to strengthen your application.

What does Subaru Certified Pre-Owned mean?

CPO Subarus pass a rigorous factory inspection and come with extended powertrain warranty coverage plus benefits like roadside assistance. I currently have a certified 2026 Subaru Impreza Sport on the lot — here's the full CPO explainer.

Do used cars come with a warranty?

It depends on the vehicle: remaining factory warranty, CPO extended coverage, or available service contracts. I'll show you exactly what covers the specific car you're considering — ask before you buy, not after.

Can I see a vehicle history report before buying?

Absolutely. Ask and I'll pull the reports and walk you through accidents, title status, service records, and ownership. If a car's history isn't right for you, I'll tell you straight.

Do you sell to customers outside Bellingham?

Yes — Ferndale, Lynden, Blaine, Birch Bay, and across Whatcom County. Text 360.500.0325 before you drive down and your car will be ready when you arrive.

Is there pressure to buy on the first visit?

No. Come look, ask questions, drive cars, and go home to think — that's normal and welcome here. My business runs on my name in Whatcom County; pressure would cost me more than it'd ever gain.

How do I contact Geordie directly?

Call or text 360.500.0325 — it rings my pocket, not a call center. Email Geordiesautoauthority@gmail.com, or find me on Instagram and TikTok at @geordiesautoauthority.
