Car Smarts Interactive SeminarsTM for Women
 If you've ever been in the position of having to buy or service a car, you
know how daunting the experience can be. From safety, to maintenance, to financing -- there are hundreds of factors to consider, and not many manufacturers, it seems, willing to
engage women in the type of one on one conversations that could ultimately make the process so much easier. And it's ironic too, since 85% of women are either the key decision maker,
or play a very influential role in decisions surrounding the purchase and servicing of vehicles in Canada today.
