The cold November will eventually give way to the even colder December, which means that the dreaded four-letter-word is on its way. So what is the big deal, and what does that mean for a Subaru model owner? In order to prepare yourself for winter, you need to consider more than just whether you have the right set of tires, and our service department is ready to help.

Reuse and consider buying used

Subaru is doing something pretty great these days, aside from offering safe and reliable cars that consistently earn Top Safety Pick and five-star ratings in crash testing. The company is limiting the amount of waste used in shipping their parts and engines over from Japan by reusing the Styrofoam upwards of 23 times. What this does is limit the amount of this material left over to decompose slowly in a landfill, and as you know, Styrofoam is estimated to take around 500 years to breakdown completely and who of us will be around then to see it?

Where has the time gone?



I looked at my watch as the second hand swept 2014 away, and ushered in 2015. I checked my watch again and it was Valentines day...time for roses and chocolates for my  sweetheart, and daughter. The next time I looked it was late April...opening the camp and getting ready for a visit from my daughter.  Wow, look it's already June, and my daughter had returned from Germany, for a visit...poof...that time went so quickly then I barely had time to visit with her, and then she was once again boarding a plane to return.

Phil Charte...and a day to remember!





Phil Charte was many things...a gifted athlete, a smart, and really funny guy, he was a  captain of the wrestling team at Goffstown High School, in fact he was a State Champion at 135 pounds.

March 20, 2015 A Date that will Live in Infamy...



With Apologies to FDR...

Yesterday, March 20th, 2015 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the Northeastern States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by Mother Nature and her cold and chilling winds.

New Hampshire was at peace with winter and, at the solicitation of spring, was still in conversation with the meteorologists, looking forward to bringing back baseball and warmer temperatures.

Indeed, one hour after spring supposedly sprung, air temperatures commenced diving into the twenties, and lower, throughout New England. With snow being dropped from above.

Mother nature delivered to our Department of Transportation a formal reply to…

It is January in New Hampshire...cold days, and nights, lack of sun, and being indoors, a little to much, combine to conspire against our better natures. Which is a gentle way of saying, we tend to get a little grouchy this time of year.

Sunshine plays a huge role in helping us fight the winter blues...I try to avail myself of any outside time I can. A walk in the sunshine, even if…

Doing what we must...



In 2013, an estimated 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed among US women, as well as an estimated 64,640 additional cases of in situ breast cancer. In that year, approximately 39,620 US women were expected to die from breast cancer. Only lung cancer accounts for more cancer deaths in women.

These numbers are startling and scary...even more so when one of those women is your…
