Not all bad news for car dealerships

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Car sales remain down across the Pioneer Valley, however, it is not all bad news for dealerships. Many drivers who don’t have the funds to buy a new car are keeping up with maintenance so their cars run longer.

Kevin Maffia, general manager at Balise Toyota, told 22News they have seen a 20 percent increase in service from October 2007 to October 2008.
