FAYETTEVILLE, N.Y., Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to strong demand for its vehicles, American Honda Motor Co., is adding a brand new Honda dealership to the Syracuse market at 534 East Genesee Street in Fayetteville, New York.

"We've enjoyed a great relationship with Honda and we were thrilled when Honda chose Friendly to represent its brand in the greater Syracuse market," said Kahn, "Honda cars and SUV's are in a class by themselves and its customers are among the most loyal in the industry. We are very proud to welcome our second Honda franchise to the Friendly family."
The 25,612 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility, which includes a 5 vehicle showroom, 15 bay service shop, and a stand-alone car wash, will be located on four acres in Fayetteville where the recently demolished Jay's Village Chevrolet dealership was formerly located.
