Golf is a great way to have fun with family and friends, but playing a long course can take time and often is expensive. Additionally, longer courses can be difficult if you haven’t golfed in a while or have younger kids who want to play.

Everywhere you turn you see people and technology—and both are disrupting the way things have “always been done.” In the auto industry, the latest disruptor on the horizon are semi and fully autonomous vehicles. Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales in Epsom NH has already witnessed a shift in this direction. And here’s a big question: how will these disruptions impact auto insurance? For more than 100 years, there’s been a pretty standard auto insurance model. Drivers have been insured based on age, gender, driving record and experience. But with all this technology “disruption,” things are about to change. Significant change is coming with the emergence of autonomous vehicles. With the popularity of ridesharing and autonomous vehicles, it appears there will be less individual vehicle ownership. In addition, the younger generation doesn’t seem interested in owning vehicles. With Uber, Lyft, Zipcar and other auto services like them, the personal auto sector is seeing decreasing market share and that will continue to grow. Don’t be surprised if auto insurance products begin to include cyber security and liability. Telematics included in vehicles certainly increase the risk of having a vehicle hacked and the potential of someone else taking control. With this new risk, where does liability lie? Who will be liable for the safety of autonomous vehicles: drivers, auto manufacturers and technology makers of sensors and software? What about the government, who is building and will regulate smart sensor-enabled roads? There are way more questions than answers, but stay tuned. No doubt more disruption is on the way! Let Tim’s Truck Capital Disrupt The Normal Car Buying Experience Tim’s Truck Capital, where you’ll find the best used cars for sale in NH and the best used trucks NH, has been serving the Concord area since 1983. We can help you find the right vehicle—with the right technology—to fit your lifestyle and your budget. And our finance experts can help you drive it off the lot today! Comes see us soon!

Summer road trips are an American favorite. It’s a great way to build memories with family and friends. Most people know how important it is to have their vehicle checked out before they take off for parts unknown, but most never think about doing a check up after the trip. At Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales, we want to remind our customers who travel that it’s wise to visit our service department upon their return. Check The Oil and Other Fluids The fluid levels in your truck or car can change drastically during a long road trip. Getting an oil change when you get home is the most important tip on our list for proper maintenance. Also, if you made the drive with a trailer, your vehicle probably used more oil than expected. Check your oil levels, engine coolant and brake fluid, or let the service experts here at Tim’s Truck Capital do it for you. Check Your Tires Your tires heat up during long road trips. When you get home from your trip, make sure they are at the right air pressure level. Take a close look at their condition to make sure they are not going bald or have a slow leak. Tires can be damaged while driving through unpredictable or challenging terrain. Check Engine and Air Filters Engine and air filters can get really dirty on road trips, especially if you’ve traveled on any dusty or dirt roads. It might be a good idea to go ahead and make an appointment for your routine service check, even if it’s a few weeks shy of the scheduled time. Tim’s Truck Capital Can Do Your Pre and Post Trip Checkup Tim’s Truck Capital has one of the very best service departments in the Epsom area.
