energy efficient equals smart savingsB’ville biz reduces footprint, educates community

aBOVE: Hudson & Mowins owners Greg and cathy Hudson stand by the solar panels on the business’ rooftop.

coal, which is burned in order to produce electricity.

With higher standards for energy efficiency in place, Cunningham said she’s pleased to see Hudson & Mowins taking advantage of solar power and being conscious of the amount of energy the auto shop and parts store uses.

“I think it’s wonderful and I am in admira-tion of them. They decided to take responsibil-ity,” she said. “I was hoping this business could be a model for other businesses.”

Occasionally there are holdups where renewable energy is concerned — red tape at the local level and public hearings — but Cun-ningham, who has supported the Hudsons’ endeavor from the beginning, said munici-palities should have policies in place regarding alternative energy sources. Essentially, local government needs to step up to the plate by backing those trying to be more conscious of their energy consumption.

“We should be encouraging these things,” she said.

The Hudson family has taken their efforts one step further with the use of a special fur-nace that burns waste oil drained from auto-mobiles. Greg said they don’t do anything to the oil other than filter it to remove things like strands of paper from the vehicle oil filters.

The entire business — 15,000-square-feet of building space — is heated using waste oil.

“We’d like to think we took an industry that, 30 to 40 years ago, might have left the dirtiest footprint on the earth in a whole bunch of ways and turned it into one of the cleaner ones. I think a lot of people can relate and appreciate that,” Hudson said. “If it gains us customers, that’s great, too, but that certainly wasn’t the primary reason.”

Hudson & Mowins, located at 62 E. Gene-see St. in Baldwinsville, is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

By Miranda L. PennockThe sun in Central New York has certainly

made an appearance this year, and Greg and Cathy Hudson are taking advantage of its rays.

In the last two years, the Hudson family has doubled the size of their business — Hudson & Mowins on East Genesee Street — with the purchase of NAPA AutoCare Center on the adjacent property and invested in solar panels in an effort to use energy more efficiently.

“One of the biggest reasons [for installing the panels] was we took a couple steps back and looked at how much electricity we were using,” Greg said, adding that if there was a way to cut back, they should. “It has certainly been a fantastic year for creating power through solar panels.”

Just by switching out lighting fixtures, some of which had been in the building since the business opened in 1958, Hudson & Mowins electric bill was reduced by approximately 20 percent each month.

After seeing the savings from installing energy efficient fixtures, the couple opted to research additional means of going green and focused on solar energy.

Now, with the seven panels in use, Greg said the business’ National Grid bill for October and November 2011 was 75 percent less than the same months in 2010.

Along with a reduction on the monthly bill, the Hudsons receive government incen-tives for going green. Greg said monetary reimbursements have come partially in direct funding as well as tax credits.

Despite budget cuts, government programs encouraging renewable energy remain stead-fast and intact.

“I’ve talked to a few people in the know

from the government [and] they have assured me that as important as it is to save money, it is more important to find alternate energy sources,” he said. “I can’t believe a business would not take advantage of this.”

Even though the panels are practically out of sight from the ground, Hudson & Mow-ins’ use of green technology isn’t hidden from the community by any means. A 24-inch LCD moni-tor is set up in the waiting area where custom-ers can see the amount of en-ergy generated from the sun.

As of October of last year, the solar panels have generated 35 megawatts of electricity, “enough to power the village of Baldwinsville for a couple of days,” said Hudson, and prevented 55,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

Baldwinsville resident Ermine Cunning-ham, an environmentalist and retired teacher, who has been a customer at the business for approximately 20 years, said she hoped other businesses would take notice of Greg and Cathy’s efforts.

“[They are] a real inspiration to other busi-nesses in the area and hopefully it will grow,” she said.

Cunningham said she believes people ought to think about future generations when consuming energy from finite sources like

From there, attendees were greeted in Center Court with a special performance from the highly regarded Baldwinsville Pep-Band and the walk to the other end of

Driver’s Village to the new Chevrolet show-room included some surprises along the way including well-known Syracuse Uni-versity basketball players near the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame. Inside the Chevrolet store, attendees enjoyed des-sert, coffee, music and entertainment plus a close-up look at the No. 24 Jeff Gordon NASCAR Chevrolet Show Car.

Northside collision celebrates 38 years in cNY

Northside Collision is celebrating its 38th year in business in Central New York.

Northside opened their original location on North State Street in Syracuse in 1974 and has experienced a methodical growth plan over the past 38 years.

Northside is owned by President Scott Jones and CEO Gary Bell; they currently have five Central New York locations and over 125 employees. The most recent store opening is in Liverpool on the corner of John Glenn Boulevard and Route 57; they are celebrating a very successful first year at this new location. Other locations are in Cicero, Dewitt, Camillus and Baldwinsville.

Northside has direct repair relationships with several insurance companies. These relationships allow a streamlined approach to the repair process and customers are pleased with the process since the insurance company and Northside Collision are working together to provide a guaranteed repair and a favorable experience rather than an adversarial one, says Bell.

Northside locations are I-Car Gold Class Certified, which means the company’s techni-cians have undergone extensive training and certifications in all phases of collision repair.

Each facility uses the latest technology available for diagnostics and collision repair. They converted to water based, green, envi-ronmentally friendly paints from BASF in 2011, Bell said.

Jones, who has been with the company for 25 years, said Northside has become the premier collision repair facility in upstate New York. “If you take care of customers they keep coming back,” he said.

Northside is now repairing vehicles for three generations in some families. Many customers that had their vehicles repaired in the 1970s when the company was started are still returning, as well as their children and grandchildren, for vehicle repairs.

Northside Collision offers loaner vehicles, and rentals on site.

You can find a Northside Collision location near you at northsidecollision.com.

longley dodge in Fulton celebrates their 65th anniversaryRepeat business secret of success

As if the popular Dodge lineup wasn’t alluring enough to new car buyers, the service at Longley Dodge in Fulton is what keeps customers com-ing back – some have come back 30 times.

“We had one family that bought over 30 vehicles from us, starting with a 1960 Stude-baker,” said Dennis Longley, president of Longley Dodge.

Good service after the sale has been the corner-stone for success at Longley Dodge. Being open 65 years has established a reputation for Longley Dodge of cus-tomer satisfaction and quality service, the qualities which

earned the dealership such a good reputation.

Besides the generations of car buyers are the three generations of staff at Long-ley Dodge. Earl and Harold Longley began the business in 1947 strictly as an auto body shop. The family dealer-ship was established in 1955 and the brothers added the Dodge line in 1964, making Longley the longest standing Dodge dealership in Oswego County. Earl’s son Dennis and Harold’s son Gene run the business now, while their sons also work at the dealership.

“We’re a family organiza-tion,” said Dennis. “I think that has a lot to do with it, especially sine we’re in a small community. People like to

come here and know they’re going to get good service.”

And that service isn’t over-bearing, Longley said.

“Our sales staff doesn’t pressure you,” he said. “They’re not pushy. We don’t like to operate that way, be-cause it doesn’t really serve the customer as well.”

That’s why people keep coming back.

“A lot of our business is re-peat business,” Longley said. “People come back to us.”

And if there is a problem, people know they can go to the top to find a solution.

“The buck stops at my desk,” Longley said.

Dennis learned the busi-ness form the ground up. After graduating from North-

ward University’s Automotive Business School he w2orked in the body shop for 10 years. He joined the sales team in the late 1970s and served as sales manager from 1980 to 2000. He raced for 10 years and in 1989 won the ESTA Mod Championship at ESTA Drag Strip in his 1964 Plym-outh Sport Fury. He has rode Harley-Davidson motor-cycles for years.

Dennis’ son Doug is now the sales manager, a position he has held for more than seven years.

Jack Montague is the used car manager.

“He buys, sells and ap-praises used cars for us,” said Dennis. “You have to know used cars and trends and Jack

stays on top of it for us.”There’s exciting news com-

ing on some of Dodge’s new and improved 2013s.

“The new 2013 Dodge Dart is getting rave reviews – people really like it,” said Dennis. “Produced from 1960 to 1976, the Dodge Dart

is back with three different engines and 160 horsepower. We have one in stock – and have already taken many orders. They’re built with 68 percent high-strength steel, 10 air bags standard, and it’s the only car in its class that

The customer is number one at Fehlman & Son By Jennifer Wing

At John Fehlman & Son Auto Ser-vice, customer service has been the top priority for almost 70 years. A third-generation family-owned busi-ness, owner John Fehlman said the company’s reputation for fair pricing and satisfied customers is second to none.

His grandfather, also named John, started the business about seven de-cades ago. He handed the reigns over to his son, Bill, who then passed the company down to John.

Fehlman said he learned a lot when

he started out in the business.“When I graduated from high

school I started working for my grandfather, and when he retired I worked for my father,” Fehlman said. “When I was with my grandfather I mostly did tire and brake work, but then my dad let me get involved more in the business part of it. In fact, when he had a heart attack, I took over while he recuperated, so I gained a lot of experience.”

When his father retired 18 years ago, Fehlman took over the running of the business, and has maintained its

legacy of top-notch customer service. In fact, John Fehlman & Son received an A-plus rating from the Better Busi-ness Bureau.

“At John Fehlman & Son, you can rely on us to make your car run like

Dedicated employees key to dealership’s continued successFayetteville dodge, cortland chrysler-dodge-Jeep legacy continues

By Jennifer WingBob Clark, general manager

and part-owner of Fayetteville Dodge, said the dealership has had a good year, so far, and the auto industry has “been on the upswing” in general.

“There has been a pent-up demand for automobiles, and Chrysler in particular has been a hot franchise,” Clark said, adding that both Fayetteville Dodge and Cortland Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep have enjoyed continued success over the last 34 years.

“We’ve remained profitable in both stores, even during the auto crisis in 2008,” Clark said. “Many long term employees have been key com-ponents in the continued success of the dealerhsip.”

At Fayetteville Dodge alone, Ed Quigley has been service manager for 28 years, Brian Mikulka has been parts manager for 26 years, Paul St. Germain has been shop foreman for 21 years, Daria Mikulka has been working the reception desk for 19 years and Joe Som-ers has been sales manager for 17 years.

“Having such dedicated employees has been a huge customer service benefit since customers often refer others,” Clark said.History of excellence

The history of Fayetteville Dodge and Cortland Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep is a long one.

Doug Burns, Bob Ryan and Bill Luke, the original owners of Fayetteville Dodge, started the dealership as Ryan Dodge in Manlius, then moved to Fayetteville in 1978.

mendous in-house talent they have built at the Association. Because they develop a deep talent pool, they are able to promote from within, which furthers their understanding of their customer base.

“Our personnel live and work in the same areas as our customers,” said Russo. It is be-cause of this veteran talent that they have been able to continue to perform strongly, even in the most difficult operating environments. “This is a win-win environment that we work within. Our employees understand our cus-tomers’ concerns and our customers reap the benefit of the association’s ability to quickly adjust to the local economy, which can change rapidly,” said the president.

The current operating environment in the banking arena is one of change and opportu-nity. The association is in a stage where poli-cymakers are looking to reform and reshape our financial system no matter what the size or charter of the institution.

“While we must make sure that we are out there telling the positive story of community banks, we must also make sure we are look-ing for the opportunities that the changes to the economic landscape will bring.” she said. “In this new landscape, I believe there will be tremendous opportunities for community banks.”

The president, who has now been in her current position for two years, reiterated the message of the past president. Simply put, she stated, “Our message is simple, and a proven one: community lenders extend credit responsibly and work to increase the wealth of its customers through the lowest possible lending products and the highest possible deposit product rates.” She stressed that the community bank model works. She continues to tell their story of responsible lending and of the positive customer relationships they strive to build. After all, they have a great story to tell and if they don’t tell it, who will?

lowery Bros. offers top-of-the-line vehicles, serviceLowery Bros. Chrysler-Jeep, Infiniti of Syracuse are located on ‘Historic Automobile Row’

By Jennifer WingThanks to its inventory

of high-quality vehicles, af-fordable prices and superior sales staff, Lowery Bros. Chrysler-Jeep dealership is a leading provider of new and used cars to Central New York.

In addition to helping car buyers find the car of their dreams, and fighting on their behalf for agreeable financing terms, Lowery Bros. Chrysler-Jeep per-forms routine maintenance and auto repair in Syracuse with painstaking perfection such as oil changes, state inspec-tions, tire rotations and brake adjustments. They also do warranty repair for Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge.

Lowery Bros. Chrysler-Jeep, located at 647 W. Genesee St. in Syracuse, has recently added two new members to its already ster-ling team of experts waiting to help custom-ers get top notch service and top of the line vehicles.

Rich Martin comes to Lowery Bros. as service manager and Scott Mitton is now sales manager at the dealership.

General Manager Joe Mooney said Martin and Mitton bring with them a great deal of experience in and knowledge of the auto business and with Chrysler and Jeep in particular.

“Lowery Brothers Chrysler-Jeep is excited to welcome two new and important members to their team,” Mooney said. “Combined, they bring more than 40 years of professional sales

and service experience to the Central New York Chrysler-Jeep community.”

For more information or to view both the new and used vehicle inventory at Lowery Bros. visit lowerybros.com. To contact either Martin or Mitton call 472-7844.

“Scott and Rich invite all of their current and previous customers to stop in and see them,” Mooney said.Lowery Bros. Infiniti of syracuse brings luxury, performance to cNY roads

Infiniti truly offers the best of the best in a luxury automobile – and Infiniti of Syracuse, 736 W. Genesee St., Syracuse, has a complete line of new and pre-owned inventory with an expert staff that can help customers find exactly what they are looking for.

“We’ve been here since August of 2006 when Gary Lowery bought the dealership,” Mooney said. “One thing that is unique about Infiniti of Syracuse is that we are the only Infiniti dealership in the city of Syracuse. The next closest to Central New York is in Roch-ester. Because of the fact that we serve a large area, we get a lot of traffic, but our customers each get personalized, expert assistance when they walk into the dealership.”

At Infiniti of Syracuse they know the customer’s time is valuable and their sales department has one purpose: to exceed his or her expectations from test drive to delivery. They are committed to a no-pressure, high integrity approach to the customer’s owner-ship experience.

Mooney said Infiniti vehicles are unusual in that they provide both luxury and perfor-mance.

“With our vehicles, you have good

horsepower and great performance on the road.” Mooney said. “It’s a high-end vehicle with quality and sophistication that is very comfortable but it also provides power and performance that is lacking in other vehicles in its class.”

The just-released brand new 2013 SUV JX35 has already proven to be a hit for In-finiti.

“This brand new model is pretty hot right now,” Mooney said. “When we get them in we sell them all within a couple of days. Syracuse is obviously a big SUV town be-cause of the winters here.”

The best seller for Infiniti of Syracuse is the G37X all-wheel-drive mid size sedan, which Mooney calls “a lot of car for the money. It’s is good on roads in the winter, and is available in a two- or four-door model.”

He said they have an unprecedented amount of them right now.

“We’ve never stocked this many of them – we have about 50 of them on the lot, so there are plenty of choices of colors and

equipment. What is nice about the Infiniti line is you can get all of the vehicles with all-wheel-drive except for the convertible model.”

The service department offers the best in automotive service in its state-of-the-art facility which features the most current diagnostic and repair equipment available and highly skilled factory-trained techni-cians who will deliver efficient, quality vehicle care.

“The service here is second to none,” Mooney said. “If you have your car serviced here, they not only do a great job, but make sure you aren’t inconvenienced and receive the best in customer care. If you don’t have time to wait for your car, they will give you a brand new loaner to use.”

So, what’s new on the horizon for Infiniti of Syracuse?

“We are looking to remodel the show-room,” Mooney said. “Stay tuned.”

Par-K chrysler-Jeep humming right along Features new body shop, Saturday service hours

By Brian SmithChrysler Group LLC continues to im-

prove model sales, and Par-K Chrysler-Jeep in Fulton is excited to show consumers what the buzz is all about.

“We have something for everyone, from the Chrysler 200s and 300s, to the Jeep Compass, Patriot and Grand Cherokee,” said Par-K General Manager Thomas Gilbo. “[Fiat-Chrysler CEO] Sergio Marchionne pledged to change everything when he took over two years ago, and those changes, from the body types to the engines, have all taken place.

“The product is very much improved. There was great detail and care taken in redesigning all of the cars, and it shows. A lot of our models have the V6 Penestar en-gine, and some V8s, which means improved performance and gas mileage. The Grand Cherokee and Chrysler Town & Country are getting close to 30 miles per gallon on the highway; that’s very impressive.”

Par-K, much like the cars it sells, under-went improvements last year. After an ice storm collapsed the roof on its body shop during Super Bowl Sunday last year, Gilbo said the garage was rebuilt from the floor up, reopening in July.

“It’s beautiful; everything is brand new and top of the line in the shop,” he added. “We’ve been back to normal with our hours since the summer.

“Bill Marshall and Butch Jackowski do an incredible job managing the shop. They do custom work and have multiple cars featured in magazines, and, of course, are there for all the dents and dings and insur-ance work you may need.”

They recently converted a brand new 2012 Jeep Wrangler into a truck, using a Mopar package, assembled in the body shop (see photo, right.)

Par-K also added Saturday maintenance hours in September. Cars are serviced from 8 a.m. to noon, in addition to the normal 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. hours Monday through Wednesday and Friday. On Thursday, the service department is open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“The Saturday hours are great for people who can’t get off work during the weekdays, or have something they need to take care of in a pinch,” Gilbo said. “We do a lot of maintenance and brake jobs on Saturdays so you can have your car back on the road for work on Monday.”

Gilbo urged those in the market for a new Chrysler or jeep to visit Par-K.

“Sales on the Jeep Libertys have been strong with the great rebate available,” said Gilbo. “Jeep Compass and Patriot have done

very well, providing great gas mileage and four-by-four quality. Our Chrysler Town and Country vans are popular - people love the room and they get 26 miles per gallon highway with the 3.6 Penestar engine. And the Jeep Grand Cherokee is selling itself ... great quality and craftsmanship — the luxury is so much better than its previous

models.”To view and test drive any of the Chrysler

and Jeep models, visit Par-K, Oswego Coun-ty’s only Five Star Chrysler dealer, located on Route 481 in Fulton. Par-K is 10 minutes north of the Great Northern Mall. Par-K’s entire inventory is also online at par-k.com. Call 598-8118 for more information.

ner with Burns, Ryan and Luke at both dealerships. During the last 22 years, Ryan, Luke and Burns retired. In 2002 Bob Clark, Dennis Bruce and Ron Yackel bought into

the dealerships.Then, in January of this year, Robert

Geiger’s three sons, Rob Jeff and Ryan, also became shareholders in the dealerships.

“We’re here to stay,” Bob Clark said. “This is a family-owned business and the sons will eventually take over the dealer-ship as the older owners retire.”Quality service and products at com-petitive prices

Clark said Fayetteville Dodge gets a lot of repeat customers as well as customer referrals.

“We offer more than fair prices,” he said. “We’re always negotiating — there’s plenty of factory programs out there, where if we sell enough vehicles we get money back which makes the low prices worthwhile.”

He said the service at Fayetteville Dodge

is top notch as well.“Our service department is the reason

why people buy their second, third and fourth vehicle here,” Clark said.

One exciting new addition to the deal-ership’s lineup is the Dodge Dart, coming out this month.

“The Dart has had a lot of buzz,” Clark said. “It’s a car that sells for under $20,000 that gets 39 miles to the gallon with a lot of the elec-tronic wizardry that consumers want.”

Fayetteville Dodge is located at 5427 N. Burdick St. in Fayetteville. For more information call 637-5001 or visit fayette-villedodge.net.

The Dodge Ram 1500 has had some major mechanical updates for 2013 including a more powerful engine and improved air suspension plus voice control and upgraded electronics. Its improved fuel economy is “Best in Class.”

Heart n’ Hand bake shop on Route 321 in Skaneateles held the grand opening of its new expansion on Wednesday, July 4, offering soft-serve ice cream, flurries, pie sundaes and pie a la mode from the new walk-up ice cream window.

The addition took eight months to complete and doubles the size of the bake shop. In addition to creating space for ice cream, the addition’s main purpose was to create an on-site kitchen for owners Jim and Donna Parr to cook in, rather than cook from their home and transport baked goods to the shop as they had been doing for the past 12 years.

“We don’t have to overbake, everything is fresh all the time,” Donna said. “If we start running low we can bake more. If people call for a certain type of pie in the morning we can make it for them and have it ready in the afternoon.”

“We don’t have to say ‘no’ any more,” Jim said.The original space of Heart n’ Hand provides a different

look but the same offerings, especially the Parrs’ famous pies. And they have incorporated the pies into the new ice cream with their pie sundaes and pie a la mode. Patrons can sit outside at picnic tables or bistro tables on the new patio area while they eat. Heart n’ Hand’s also has new extended hours. The Parrs will continue to open at 11 a.m., but will not close until later in the evening, at least until 9 p.m. on weekends, although the complete hours are still to be determined, Donna said.

Heart n’ Hand bake shop is locatd on route 321 in skaneateles.

The camping World management team welcomes you to their rV savings event. From left are Michael Whiteman, general manager, Michael Fleming, business manager, Mark Topor, sales manager, Peter Viviani, business manager, and Tim Wharton, service manager.

camping World’s rV sales event set for July 25-29Free admission and parking at NYS Fairgrounds location

Camping World RV Sales begins their big RV sales event Wednesday July 25 through Sunday July 29 at their off-site location at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse.

The five-day event will draw buyers from all over the state. Sale hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

“You’ll find what you’re looking for at this event,” said Kevin Bostrom, regional vice president. “We’ll have inven-tory from dealerships in five other states. This is an excellent time to start enjoying the RV experience.”

“This has been a strong year,” said Bostrom. “Volume is up, ahead of 2011. Motorhomes are a great buy because rates are still low everything in motorhomes is moving.”

Michael Whiteman, general manager, added that Camp-ing World RV sales were strong in June.

“Along with the many new motorhomes we have in stock, we also have over 190 used units starting at $19,995,” said Whiteman. “And we have popups used travel trailers starting at $2,995. And our very strong service department, that just hired more technicians, will service your motorhome well after the sale.”

“Camping is great family fun – and the memories will last a lifetime. Kids will remember the great times they had camp-ing with family and friends. Our customers are always sharing stories about this trip or that trip. Camping really does build memories.”

Camping also makes great sense in tough economic times. “It is a very reasonable way of spending quality time with the family,” said Whiteman. “Gas prices have come

down and we have very affordable monthly payments on a wide range of products including travel trailers, park models and site models.”

Camping in this area is a unique experi-ence too! “New York State is a beautiful state,” said Bostrom. “Within a few hours drive you can go to the Adirondacks, Finger Lakes and wine country, the Southern Tier, Great Lakes,

Thousand Islands and much, much more — and an RV is one of the most affordable ways to provide a great family travel experience.”

It all starts at Camping World’s RV Sales Event July 25-29 at the NYS Fairgrounds.

“RV travel is affordable family fun.”

-Michael Whiteman, Camping World general manager

Third-row seating has become a priority for many people purchasing new vehicles. Many consumers actively seek out a car or SUV with a third-row seat so they’ll have plenty of room for passengers dur-ing commutes or school carpools. There are many advantages to a third row of seating, but there are also some disadvantages. Weighing the pros and cons before purchase will help shoppers determine if a third-row seat is really what they need.

AdvantagesThe primary reason for

purchasing a vehicle with a third-row seat is to increase passenger capacity. Most standard cars and mid-size SUVs can seat 5 passengers comfortably. However, a third-row seat can add a spot for an additional 2 to 3 passengers.

The need for a third row

of seats stems primarily from the increased preva-lence of booster and other child safety seats, which tend to take up a lot of space. This enables more children to be seated safely, a boon to parents who carpool.

Third-row seats are also advantageous to commut-ers who carpool. Several adults can sit comfortably

and ride into work together, splitting the cost of gas and tolls. Many vehicles with third-row seats offer good gas mileage, making carpooling an even greener method of getting to work.

The third-row seat can often be folded down and allow for more cargo room when not needed. In some models, a third-row seat can be removed

entirely.Disadvantages

While the third-row seat offers more passenger room, it cuts down on stor-age space. Many vehicles that offer the extra row of seating do so at the expense of trunk or cargo space. There may be little more than a few feet of room to store groceries or luggage.

Vehicles with a third-

row seat tend to be more expensive than comparable cars and SUV’s without one. Some minivans are more expensive than simarly sized SUVs. If money is a factor, a third-row seat may not be an asset. In addi-tion, insurance companies might charge more for a larger car.

Size might also be a dis-advantage to some drivers.

Larger vehicles might be difficult to park in urban ar-eas and may require special parking spots in parking garages.

Third-row seats can be very advantageous for peo-ple who frequently trans-port several people. But they may not be the best op-tion for individuals looking for a lower priced car or one with maximum cargo space.

Pros and cons to third-row seating: what works best for your driving needs?
