The store, at 5746 Van Nuys Blvd Blvd abbr (= boulevard) → Bd ., will cease selling Mazdas on Jan. 15 and will convert to Keyes Hyundai dealership soon after.

``We are glad to have the Keyes organization on board and know they will do an excellent job of representing Hyundai,'' Rick Lueders, Hyundai's western regional general manager, said in a statement.

Keyes Mazda customers were notified of the dealership's change in a letter dated Dec 22. Company officials declined to elaborate. Howard Howard, English noble family. Landowners in Norfolk from the 13th cent., the Howards obtained the duchy of Norfolk through the marriage of Sir Robert Howard to Margaret Mowbray, daughter of Thomas Mowbray, 1st duke of Norfolk.  Keyes, president of Keyes Motors, was unavailable for comment Thursday.

``We hope that this decision causes you as little inconvenience as possible,'' the letter says, in part. ``Keyes Mazda will continue to be open until Jan. 15 to take care of whatever service or warranty needs you may have.''

The company also said it will give Keyes Mazda customers $1,000 off the best deal they can negotiate at other Keyes nameplates through Dec. 31, 2001.
