eAutoclaims Offers a New Member Benefit to Their Network of Independent Body Shops

    SANFORD, Fla., and PALM HARBOR, Fla., July 10 eAutoclaims (OTC Bulletin Board: EACC) has announced today a new member
benefit offered to their network of independent body shops.  Through their
exclusive agreement with Parts.com, eAutoclaims will now guarantee a line of
credit to qualified network body shops that order online through Parts.com.
The guarantee will be available on all eAutoclaims repair jobs.  eAutoclaims
has contracted over 2,700 network body shops that will be able to utilize
Parts.com's 1,300 nationwide dealers network to procure OEM collision,
mechanical, and accessory parts with localized delivery.  Parts.com works
exclusively through eAutoclaims to bring value to the insurance claims
industry.
    Eric Seidel, President and CEO of eAutoclaims, commented, "eAutoclaims is
committed to offer meaningful benefits to our independent network of body
shops.  This program will help them maintain a competitive edge in a market of
consolidation.  With EACC handling the repair process and payment, we are able
to guarantee this line of credit from Parts.com.  Our shops will also enjoy a
discount on OEM parts as part of this eAutoclaims Member Benefits Program.  In
most cases, these discounts will go beyond their current wholesale pricing and
provide for local delivery."
    The new program is expected to begin rollout in the state of California
and will start in the coming weeks.  EACC plans to roll the program out
nationwide to all network member shops by the end of the year.  Shops
interested in participating should contact the Vendor Management Department at
eAutoclaims.
