Questions Tim gets asked

What truck can pull my camper?

“I can narrow down which truck will work best for you based on the gear ratio, suspension, hitch type, and trailer weight you need.”

Can I put a new vehicle in my business name to build company credit?

“Yes. If your business was recently established you can potentially assign yourself as the personal guarantor or cosigner for the business, which helps the business build credit.”

Can I add shelves or additional storage to my ProMaster van?

“I can help create a custom-built solution for any vehicle to better equip your company and increase efficiency.”

Colorado Springs connection

Tim fell in love with the mountains and Colorado Springs young, and moved here from the Midwest in January 2020. He is involved with Communion of Saints Church, Compassion International, Summit Ministries, Pick It Up Fitness, and the Colorado Springs Pregnancy Care Center. He has personal experience with mountain driving and towing, camping, campervanning, off-roading, hiking, and fishing in Colorado.

Outside the dealership

Outside work Tim and his family hike, fish, work out, camp, and cook. He drives a Ram 1500, and his favourite vehicle he has owned was a Ram 2500 Power Wagon — in his words, the perfect balance of off-road and hauling ability for his family. He has owned more vehicles than he has had years of driving them.
