Things change...that's just the way it is...in this case, I believe it is for the better! Twenty, or thirty years ago, the President's Day, automotive sales, were filled with gimmicks, cherry pies, and sales practices that weren't always consumer friendly. High pressure negotiations, and uncomfortable environments, were common.

After witnessing some of those thing, we were committed to doing things differently. Our web site offers customers our prices and costs, it describes the Belknap Subaru Difference in clear, and unvarnished  detail. You can get an estimate of your trade-in's value, get your credit approved…

Today, February 14th is the Holiday of Love! This day we put aside our troubles, and worries...to wish the love of our lives, happiness and continued and renewed Love!
 
The origins of this special day, are steeped in myth, folk lore, and legend. In a nutshell, Saint Valentine is said to have performed secret wedding ceremonies for young lovers in Rome. The Emperor had forbid the young men of Rome to marry, as it…

Embrace the Winter

Thursday, 06 February, 2014 by Colin McKenna

The winter in New Hampshire is no time to be hibernating in your home just because it is cold outside. Get up, get out, and try something new. There is no excuse for winter boredom in New Hampshire there is simply to many great things to do.

As an undergraduate student at Plymouth State University I have observed a trend on the campus. As soon as the temperatures drop the student population on campus starts to look smaller and smaller. Just the other day we had a snow day that…

Listening to the local news, one might get the impression that we have just entered another ice age. Highly coiffed, neatly dressed, attractive people, have spent days, delivering every imaginable detail about the low temperatures, and wind-chills.

I am left wondering...why? I have lived in New England all my life...New Hampshire for the last forty years, as far back as I can remember...January has always been, really cold. In fact one thing you can reasonably count on in New Hampshire...really cold weather in January, and a fresh crop of politicians looking to be President every three…

As we say farewell to 2013, it is my great pleasure to talk a little bit about why we love being a Subaru Dealership.There are a great many products available to sell in the automotive marketplace,in New Hampshire,  but only a handful of people can say they are Subaru Dealers. It is a very special honor...the car, its customers, and the values shared by both are what makes this franchise special.

Let me say a few words about the car...reliable, unique, remarkable, these words are the best I can come up with to describe a vehicle…

For those of you who were born in December, you know, that the present you are unwrapping, after the cutting of a "Birthday cake", is just a Christmas present wrapped in Birthday paper. Even the cake sometimes has vestiges of the other Holidays being celebrated, this time of year. It is a bit of unspoken, December Birthday knowledge, that the rest of the world is a little exhausted by Birthdays as we roll into the…

It isn't everyday that you can buy a product you need and want, and at the same exact time do something good for a cause you support. Subaru's Share the Love event takes place at a time of year when all of us are focused on being Thankful, and giving.

As a Subaru dealership we are a business...but every business is comprised of the people who work here...it is Beth, and…

I wasn't available for the first Thanksgiving...but the message of the first celebration of the Holiday, was so powerful, that George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, decided that it was a tradition worth keeping.

Taking time for reflection, and expression, of those things that have been blessings in our lives, is a truly worthy endeavor. As for me, it is a holiday, that I find one of the most satisfying. One need not purchase…

As we approach Veteran's Day, it is fitting to give thanks...but more importantly to recognize the amazing work performed by the men and women who serve in our nations Armed Services. They are noble and brave, they are there when disaster strikes, or when tragedy raises its sad face. They put country and service ahead of self and family, and at the end of the day, though they may be far from home...they are never far from our hearts.

On Monday we will pause to give thanks to each one of them...and we will say a…

Life is an amazing journey...I am a true believer in the idea that the trip is sometimes more rewarding than arriving at the destination. If you view the world through the lens of accomplishment, it is often easy to forget the exquisite details of the voyage. I like to take a little time, every now and then, to reflect on the people, events and things that make life, the pearl that it is.

Last weekend, my oldest child...not really a child anymore, married the love of his life! Chris and his wife find an inexplicable joy in each…
