LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., May 5, 2008 -- DealerTrack Aftermarket Services, Inc., a subsidiary of DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. , today announced that SkyGuard has joined the DealerTrack Aftermarket Network(TM), an industry-leading solution for real-time aftermarket contract rating, quote generation and digital contracting.

"We are excited about this agreement with SkyGuard, a leader in theft recovery and vehicle monitoring technologies," said Mark O'Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of DealerTrack.
