Bill Blake

Bill Blake

Star Delivery Specialist


Bill is a hardcore Subaru enthusiast that has owned 11 Subarus. His family bought their first Subaru from Jim Keras in 1980 and have had one in the family ever since. He began working at Jim Keras during Subaru's record selling year in 2006. Selling Subarus is a more of a passion that he enjoys doing on his time off from his fire department job.

Bill's favorite Subaru is his 1994 Subaru Justy GL 4 door 4WD. He loves this vehicle because his first car was a Justy he had driven while his family was stationed in Japan.
