Corey Henderson
General Manager
(203) 744-8383

Welcome to Colonial Subaru where we pride ourself on exceptional customer service. Whether you're looking for a new or used vehicle, or visiting our service center, we are committed to providing you with the best experience possible!

I am a true people person who passionately loves cars. I actually grew up on a race track with my dad and uncle learning how to make cars go faster and turn better!

I began my career in the automobile business in 1998, and through the years I held practically every job from cleaning the shop, to sales, to service.

Today, I am excited to be the General Manager of The Colonial Subaru family with an amazing 100 person team who prides themselves in doing the right thing every single day.

I live in Southbury with my fiancée Angela, and our four children; Nicole, Carter, Sophia and Willow.

I am committed to mission work and community service and have traveled to New Orleans, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts volunteering my time to Habitat for Humanity, veteran housing, community gardens and more.

In my free time I enjoy anything outdoors. My most recent adventure had me dropped off by a bush plane north of the arctic circle in Alaska with my best friend and just a backpack for nine days!!!

You don't get to be #1 in CT by mistake. We live by the motto:
Take care of our clients
Take care of each other
Success will follow

Please stop in and say hello!

Bob Chien
General Sales Manager
203-744-8383 Ext. 223

Before my automobile career, I was an I/T professional for 15 years and self-professed car nut. During those years, I shopped for and purchased many vehicles. Now, having been in the car business since 2001 (Subaru since 2007 and Colonial since 2014), I have taken those shopping experiences and formed the core of my personal philosophy - Treat my customers as if I'm sitting on the other side of the desk.

My wife,Maria and I, are busy raising boy and girl twins, Jason and Hayley, our oldest son  Matthew, and two rescue Great Pyrenees mixes, Sammy and Louie. In my downtime, I enjoy a good series binge-watch. I'm also a foodie. So, feel free to stop by and tell me a good show recommendation and where to find my next meal!

Nate Taylor
Sales Manager
203-744-8383

I started in the automotive business in 1994 as a lot attendant. Since then I have held just about every sales related position right up to general sales manager!

I believe my road to success in this business is simple:

1. Be transparent.
2. Be kind and caring.
3. Be truthful.
4. Treat both my fellow employees and my guests with respect and honesty.

These values are what brought me to Colonial Subaru. After researching this organization before I came here, I found that my core values and those of this family owned business, are in perfect alignment. I can't wait to see what the future brings!

I am a local Bethel resident with over 24 years experience in automotive sales. I have 2 little ones, a boy and a girl, and a beautiful wife of over 8 years. Being local, I'm constantly running into some of my clients in stores, restaurants, etc. So taking care of my clients comes with a little something extra, and requires an added personal touch. My goal is to build relationships, while hopefully making friends in the process. I'm super excited to be a part of the CT's  #1 Subaru dealer, and look forward to serving the community for years to come!

Fred Artman
Certified Sales Consultant
203.744.8383 Ext 226

I've been a life long resident of Connecticut and have worked in the automobile business since 2000. I enjoy working with the various types of people that I've met over the years.

I have a 10 year old daughter, who I enjoy taking on various day trips all over New England in my Subaru Forester. I have a love/hate relationship with golf. If you hear the word "fore" out there, it's most likely me.

I've been with Colonial Subaru since March 2017 and really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Though the largest volume Subaru dealership, it has a small town feel and family environment.

Kim Hamilton
Concierge Coordinator - Subaru Service

I have worked in the customer service industry for many years but found my niche with the Colonial family. I started at our Ford location in 2016 and have since moved over to Subaru as Concierge Coordinator.

My role here is to schedule complimentary pick up and drop off for vehicles being serviced. The cars are picked up at the customers home, serviced, sanitized and delivered right back to their driveway...how great is that!?

In my free time I like to sit outside or somewhere cozy with a good book. I can also never say no to a good documentary or suspenseful TV show. If you stop in and have any recommendations of what to read or watch next I'd love to hear them!
