Watch Out For Hurricane-Damaged Vehicles
For the next few months, you can expect a flood of flood-damaged vehicles to hit the used car market. If you buy from a reputable dealership like Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales in Epsom NH, you won’t see any of those on our lots. However, if you buy from a lesser dealership or private owner, this is something to watch out for.
Hundreds of thousands of storm-ravaged cars will appear on the used-vehicle market following hurricanes Harvey and Irma. In fact, in Texas alone it is estimated that as many as one million vehicles suffered damage. Carfax predicts that about half of cars damaged by floods end up back on the road. But the reality is, you don’t want to buy a “flood car,” as oftentimes they end up rotting from the inside out. So how can you be sure you’re buying a used vehicle that hasn’t been damaged in a flood? Here are some tips to protect yourself:
?For sale by owner: Owners of flood-damaged cars often rigorously scrub their vehicle and try to sell it to an unsuspecting buyer. They even move the vehicles to other states in order to escape suspicion. Before you purchase a used vehicle, we recommend you ask a mechanic to conduct a pre-purchase inspection.
?Watch out for forged or bogus documentation. Unscrupulous sellers will tamper with title records to trick buyers into thinking a car is in good condition. Be sure to check Carfax for records before buying.
?Use your nose: Be sure to sniff for foul or musty smells. Pull back the vehicle’s carpet to check for signs of water or mud. Make sure the power locks and windows work. Also, check headlights and taillights for water—it can indicate the vehicle has been submerged

Tim’s Truck Capital: Your Autumn Check-Up
When the season changes from summer to fall, it’s a good time to make sure your truck is ready to take on colder, wetter weather. Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales in Epsom NH encourages all truck owners to follow our recommendations for Fall auto maintenance. Most of these maintenance check-ups you can do yourself, but for professional assistance, bring your vehicle to the service department at Tim’s Truck Capital.
Check Your Truck’s Fluid Levels
There are five primary fluids you should regularly monitor in your truck if you want it running great for years to come. It only takes a few minutes to check the engine oil, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, coolant and brake fluid and add more fluids where necessary.
Replace Your Truck’s Windshield Wipers
Make it a habit to replace your truck’s windshield wipers when fall weather rolls around. You’ll be glad you did, as you’ll be using your wipers more in inclement weather and you’ll want them to be in top working order.

Check Your Battery
Check your battery for any signs of corrosion. Should you find some, use either a wire brush or soft cloth to remove the corrosion. Also make sure the caps are securely fastened.
Protect Your Truck From The Elements
The best way to protect your truck from the sometimes harsh weather elements, is to give it a wash and wax at the start of each new season. As a side benefit, it will keep your truck looking like new.

Tim’s Truck Capital: Tips To Avoid Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is a phenomenon that you don’t want to experience while driving. When it happens, it catches you off guard and is quite scary. Plus, your car can easily careen into another vehicle if you’re not careful.
Hydroplaning happens when a vehicle hits a patch of water on the roadway and your tires can’t scatter the water quick enough. As a result, your car may suddenly veer out of control and spin out. However, you can be prepared with these tips from Tim’s Truck Capital in Epsom, NH, your favorite used cars NH dealership.
Follow These Tips To Prevent Hydroplaning
Whenever it’s raining, be aware that there’s a potential for hydroplaning. During the first 10 minutes of rain, the danger of hydroplaning is at its greatest because the water is mixing with any grease or oil that may be on the pavement surface. It can be very slippery and dangerous. However, the longer it rains, the more the rain washes away the slippery residue. Try these tips from the Service specialists at Tim’s Truck Capital to help prevent hydroplaning:
- If your cruise control is on, it’s best to turn it off. Slow down and try to stay out of the outer lanes where water accumulates faster.
- Give yourself plenty of room between your vehicle and the one in front of you.
- Avoid slamming on your brakes or stopping suddenly. Try to remember to slowly press on your brake pedal.
- Inspect your tires regularly and make sure the treads are in good shape and are properly inflated. Bring your car, truck, van or SUV to Tim’s Truck Capital for tire maintenance like tire rotation or tire replacement.
- If you do find yourself starting to hydroplane, try not to panic. Avoid applying the brakes or accelerating, and steer in the direction that your vehicle is heading. This is usually enough to bring your vehicle safely out of a hydroplaning situation.

Best Used 2014 Trucks For The Money
Yes, it’s fun to drive a brand new truck off a dealership’s lot. That is, until you actually leave the lot and experience the instant depreciation! At Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales in Epsom, NH, we know a lot of people would rather buy a used truck and get more bang for their buck. That’s why we specialize in selling pre-owned trucks that have all the features and performance you want, without that new truck price tag and depreciation.
Here are just a few of our favorite used truck NH from 2014.
Ford SVT Raptor: This one is intimidates both around town and off-roading. It features a wider track that the standard F-150, as well as a long-travel suspension setup and a standard 6.2 liter V-8 with 411 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque. It’s a real force to be reckoned with in terms of attitude and performance. Definitely worth a test drive.
Ram 2500 HD: This heavy duty pickup straddles the line between daily driver and full-on work rig. You get the kind of strengthened chassis and up-rated suspension system that is necessary when you’re hauling or towing a heavy load. However, it’s not over-sprung to the point where it’s impossible to drive when empty! Get the model that features the 350 horsepower, 6.7-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel engine.
Honda Ridgeline: This is a unique truck no matter how you slice it, with an all-wheel drive system that’s biased toward the front wheels, a passenger compartment that seats up to five in comfort and a locking “trunk” in the bed of the open cargo area.

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. Instead of heading out for 18 holes, there are several mini golf courses around Epsom NH where you can relax and enjoy a fun round of golf with your kids. Here are a few courses that Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales recommends for family fun.
Chuckster’s in Chichester NH
Chuckster’s is a favorite of Tim’s Truck Capital. Their greens are well maintained and the holes are just the right degree of challenging. There are multi-layer holes and “the world’s longest hole” for hole 13. There are also go karts, a rock climbing wall, batting cages and even a ropes course there! There’s also a $1 Off Yelp check-in offer online so that’s a nice little bonus, as well.
Legends Golf & Family Recreation in Hookset, NH
Not only is there a fun miniature golf course here, but it’s the best driving range in Hillsborough County! The automatic tee machines are awesome and the staff is helpful and friendly. There are also batting cages on site, and a great little air conditioned store with ice cream, food and drinks at reasonable prices. It’s a great place for families and birthday parties, too!

Life In The Age Of Disruption
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!
