Statement by AmeraPARTS International, L.L.C. on Developments in The Automotive Insurance and Collision Repair Industries
    ATLANTA, Oct. 12 -- The following statement was issued today
by AmeraPARTS International:

    The major companies within the automotive insurance industry, including
State Farm, have recently requested that either new or recycled original
equipment ("OEM") parts be utilized in automotive collision repairs.  This
significant development has brought to the forefront an alternative, high-
quality source of recycled OEM parts.  AmeraPARTS International, L.L.C.,
through its strict quality control processes at each of its Southeastern U.S.
plants (state-of-the-art industrial complexes), is producing and distributing
recycled OEM collision and mechanical replacement components of the highest
quality and dependability at a price-point that continues to make them one of
the best choices for automotive body and mechanical repairs.
    "We sell only OEM parts, and that's all we have ever sold," said James R.
Johnson, CEO of AmeraPARTS.  "Using AmeraPARTS(TM), All-OEM(TM) recycled
collision replacement components will ensure that consumers are receiving the
best quality parts in their repairs while helping to maintain lower insurance
rates."
