ELK GROVE, Calif., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- ALLDATA(R), the worldwide
market leader in computer-based auto repair information for professional
service providers, has upgraded their web site at www.alldata.com. The new
site clearly differentiates between service providers and vehicle owners,
providing quicker access to automotive content and product and service
information specific to the needs of the user.
"ALLDATA.com now provides a more welcoming look and feel emphasizing user-
friendliness and intuitive usability," said Walt Samuelson, EVP/COO, Customer
Satisfaction of ALLDATA. "The site now features 'channels' for its service
provider and vehicle owner audiences."
Vehicle owners can access automotive technical tip articles written by ASE
Master Technicians, find local ALLDATA-equipped shops, obtain free technical
service bulletin and recall titles, review factory recommended maintenance
schedules for their vehicle, and ask questions of ALLDATA. ALLDATA believes
providing this kind of information to the vehicle owner will help them better
understand how to care for their vehicles. The Internet is offering all
manner of education, and consumer information about the vehicles they own and
drive is no different. By having access to information on safety,
reliability, performance and comfort, the vehicle owner is better prepared to
ensure the proper services are completed on their car and more willing to pay
for those services.
The service provider channel allows visitors to view the latest ALLDATA
repair shop related press releases through dynamic listings, access product
and service information or contact an ALLDATA sales representatives in their
area.
Shortly, ALLDATA customers will have the ability to access account
information in a secure environment. Future work will focus on
personalization and customization, adding more content and employing more
interactive enhancements to match the interests of our professional customers.

rapidly develop Internet applications and move our business into the Internet
economy."
