Things You 'Auto' Know About Cars Valley Vibes

For many, cars are not a luxury but a necessity. They are the means by which you get to work, go to the doctor, run errands, or take a trip. Over the past few years, however, the costs of buying, owning, repairing and maintaining a car have all gone up. People are hanging onto their cars for much longer. And when you finally do go to check out a replacement ride, supply chain shortages have led to tightening inventory for dealers resulting in fewer cars on the lot. To top it off, how do all the new tech and safety features available, along with options and alternatives for fuel efficiency, affect maintenance of your vehicle?
Join Guests Jim McCard, Service Manager at Canton Midas, and Eric Reese, General Sales Manager at O'Neill's Chevrolet in Avon as they break down some of the latest trends happening with autos today with hosts Christine Buhler of the Talcott Mountain Science Center & Academy and Adam Horelik. Listen as they chat about the challenges of purchasing a car today from years past; changes in inventory levels; the differences between gas-powered, hybrid (gas engine with battery power), and fully electric vehicles and their current demand; what repairs are common with certain types of vehicles and the cost to maintain them; and how best to prepare your vehicle for New England's unpredictable weather conditions.

In business since 1920, it is the oldest continuously-operating business in the Farmington Valley. O'Neill's is a full-service dealership and is the flagship of what is known now as Sullivan Automotive Group; part of a larger family of dealerships including Sullivan Honda and Northwest Hills Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, all in Torrington. They offer a complete line of Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac, Jeep Chrysler, Dodge Ram, and Honda. The Sullivan family is keenly aware that a successful business begins with a rock solid reputation. They believe that trust and honesty are the keys to having a good reputation -- it’s not something you can create, it has to be earned.
