At Tim’s Truck Capital & Auto Sales in Epsom, NH, we want to help you keep your vehicle running smoothly. Our Service department is here to service your vehicle. We recommend following a regular maintenance schedule. In addition, there are some easy things you can do to avoid costly automotive repairs. Today’s tip from #Tim’sTruckCapital helps prolong the life of your fuel pump. It’s easy - avoid running your vehicle on empty! Instead, make sure to fill-up when you get to the one-quarter mark. Here’s Why Running on empty can actually have negative consequences for your vehicle. For starters, it causes extra wear on your fuel pump. That’s because when your tank is nearly empty, more air can enter the fuel pump, exposing it to premature wear. In addition, when the fuel level is below one-quarter full, the dirt that settles at the bottom of your vehicle’s tank has more opportunity to make its way to the fuel line then through the engine. You’ll save money in the long run by not running on empty! Avoid Being Stranded Another reason to keep your gas tank filled is that extreme weather conditions can present potentially life-threatening situations. Why take the chance of running out of gas in the hot desert or late at night out in the country without cell phone service? Always make sure you have more than enough fuel to take you from Point A to Point B. Be safe and don’t let the gas gauge fall below one-quarter of a tank.

In addition to all these great features, the 2015 GMC Yukon can tow up to 4-tons!

If you’re looking for a fun family outing, Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales recommends a trip to the Currier Museum of Art in nearby Manchester, NH. Just 20 miles from Epsom, the Currier is an internationally renowned art museum featuring European and American paintings, decorative arts, photographs and sculpture. Exhibits include works by Picasso, Monet, O’Keeffe, Wyeth and LeWitt with exhibitions, tours and programs for children and adults year-round. The Museum also offers tours of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Zimmerman House. Activities Looking for something new and exciting to do with the kids? The #Currier has plenty to see and do with your family. Visit the Discovery Gallery. You can use their Family Guide to explore the galleries. Visit their website to check out the family programs. The museum also has activities for adults. Special Exhibits Now through August 6, Soo Sunny Park, a New Hampshire artist, has created a new work that has transformed the Currier’s windowed Putnam Gallery into an immersive sculptural environment that explores the effect of light on visual perception. Luminous sculptural forms fill the gallery space, capturing and reflecting the light which fills the gallery. Pieces are suspended from the ceiling and are placed on the floor. The sculpture changes from minute to minute depending on the time of day, weather conditions and changing seasons, as well as the viewer’s changing perspective as they walk through the installation. This exhibition is the latest project in the Contemporary Connections series that exhibits work by New England artists.

Car and Driver refers to the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 as identical twins, though their exterior appearance is quite different. Inside and under the hood, they both share the same engines, transmissions and chassis. Both are terrific trucks and we invite you to come do your own comparison at Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales in Epsom, NH. Power Under the hood you’ll find similar powerful engines with just about the same capability. The Sierra’s 355-hp, 5.3-liter V-8 engine sounds nearly the same as the V-8 Chevy’s engine. Both engines provide quick acceleration, getting from 0-60 in just 6.7 seconds. To save fuel on the highway, the Sierra’s 5.3 engine switches to V-4 mode. In two-wheel-drive mode, the Sierra V-8 gets an estimated 16 city mpg and 23 highway. Four-wheel-drive versions with the V-8 get 16/22 mpg. The V-6 gets slightly better gas mileage. Ride Both pickups feature a comfortable ride and they’re more responsive than the larger pickups. The Sierra’s steering is especially tight and responsive. You’ll feel confident with the firm sports-car-like brake pedal. The braking distances recorded by the Sierra’s Chevrolet analog were among the best in its class. Exterior Look The Silverado is distinguished by its stacked headlights, while the Sierra has simple, sleeker, small projector-beam units. You’ll also find individualized styling on the Sierra’s grille, front bumpers, fenders and aluminum hood.

We know you’ll be happy when you drive your “new” used vehicle off our Epsom, NH lot at Tim’s Truck Capital & Auto Sales. And, we want you to be protected from the unexpected, too. Here are a few tips about insuring your vehicle. Get Your Vehicle Insured Before You Leave Our Dealership! If you are planning on buying your first vehicle, you will need to have an insurance policy in place before you drive your new vehicle home. If you currently own a vehicle and will replace that vehicle with this one, some insurance companies allow you 7 to 30 days to let them know to update your policy. It is best that you contact your insurance company before you make your purchase to find out exactly how to get the coverage transferred so your new car is covered right away. Do your homework before buying Our #Tim’sTruckCapital Sales Team recommends you do a little insurance homework before you shop for a vehicle. First, talk to your current insurance company if you have one. Tell them what type of vehicle you are thinking about purchasing and ask what is required to get an insurance policy on this vehicle. If this is your first time buying a vehicle, contact a few insurance companies to do some price and coverage comparisons. Talk with the experts at Tim’s Truck Capital & Auto Sales. We can give you information about the vehicle to share with your insurance company so you can get an accurate estimate of the insurance cost. Safety features could mean a discount If your vehicle comes with certain safety features, you may get a lower insurance rate. Our sales team can tell you about the features of your vehicle that may qualify for a discount.

At Tim’s Truck Capital & Auto Sales in Epsom, NH, we want to make sure your vehicle s always performing its best. We encourage you to set up a regular maintenance schedule with our factory-trained service professionals. Regular maintenance is particularly important for older vehicles. You can conveniently make a service appointment on our website. Here are some regular maintenance tasks our service technicians can take care of for you. Replace Timing & Drive Belts These belts normally need to be replaced when the mileage reaches 70,000-100,000 miles. The job of a timing belt is to open and close the engine’s valves. It’s important to get this belt replaced before it breaks and leaves you stranded waiting for a tow truck. You’ll save money by replacing these belts before they break and cause damage to the valves, pistons or the water pump. A drive belt transfers power from the engine’s revolutions to the alternator, water pump and air conditioning system. A new belt is relatively inexpensive, costing between $75-$200, depending on your vehicle type. We recommend these belts be checked every time you have the oil changed. Check Tire Pressure & Rotate Tires Did you know that nothing wears out tires more quickly than not rotating them? Rotating helps the tread wear more evenly and improves gas mileage. Rotating your vehicle’s tires every 6 months or 5,000 miles will greatly extend the life of your tires. Wiper Blades Windshield wiper blades are often overlooked. This is unfortunate because poorly performing blades significantly limit vision during poor weather, such as a snow and rain, especially when driving at night. We recommend replacing your wiper blades every six months to make sure you always have good visibility in all weather conditions. Let The Service Professionals At Tim’s Truck Capital & Auto Sales Keep Your Vehicle in Top Shape Our reliable service technicians can help you maintain your used vehicle and keep it running for years and miles to come.

The 2010 Nissan Frontier is a great off-road truck and has a high towing capacity. It’s also one of the most capable and dependable compact trucks around. Come to Tim’s Truck Capital & Auto Sales to give it a test drive. Our sales team can help you find your perfect truck.

Overview When it was new, reviewers praised the 2010 Nissan Frontier for its refined ride and smooth engine. The Frontier comes standard with a four-cylinder engine that’s great for daily driving. However, many reviewers suggested the available V6, especially if you need a truck for towing or hauling. The four-cylinder Frontier comes with rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission with an optional automatic transmission. V6 models are available with rear- or four-wheel drive, as well as a manual or automatic transmission. The #Frontier can tow up to 6,500 pounds, which is a higher capacity than the Hummer H3T and Honda Ridgeline can tow. The 2010 Frontier is available as a four-seat King (extended) cab or a five-seat crew cab. Features on the base model include a stereo with CD player and an auxiliary input jack, air conditioning, power windows, door locks and mirrors, satellite radio, Bluetooth, leather seats and a power sunroof.

The 2010 Toyota Tacoma features a high-quality interior and smooth ride. It also earned a better safety score than most trucks in the class.
