  • A 25% tariff on imported automobiles is set to take effect next week, but New Hampshire auto dealers said that doesn't mean you should rush out and buy a new car.

The article from WMUR discusses the impact of tariffs on cars and car repairs in New Hampshire, highlighting a case where a local man, Jim Bussiere, faced a $1,500 repair bill for his 2018 Kia Sorento due to a faulty engine part.
