Tampa, Fla. (PRWEB) May 23, 2007

The Courtesy dealerships in the Tampa area, which includes Courtesy Nissan, Courtesy Hyundai, Courtesy Toyota of Brandon, Courtesy Kia of Brandon, Courtesy Chrysler Jeep, Mercedes-Benz of Tampa, and Infiniti of Tampa, are the premier dealers for women consumers. The staff at each dealership has been trained and certified to create a pleasurable buying experience for everyone, particularly women.

Women often compare buying a car to getting a root canal, but the Courtesy dealers in Tampa are changing that perception by becoming the first in their area to be Ask Patty Female Friendly certified.

The Courtesy dealerships in Tampa, which includes Courtesy Nissan, Courtesy Hyundai, Courtesy Toyota of Brandon, Courtesy Kia of Brandon, Courtesy Chrysler Jeep, Mercedes-Benz of Tampa, and Infiniti of Tampa, are the first dealerships in Tampa to successfully complete the Ask Patty program.
