Galpin Ford to Sign Up for State-of-the-Art Private Label e-Commerce Program from USAutoNews.com

    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 5 A streamlined system by
USAutoNews.com for quickly enabling auto dealers to expand their offerings in
the lucrative automotive vehicle service contract market will be used by
Galpin Ford, the largest Ford dealership in the country.
    Galpin Ford has signed up for the Private Label Service Contract program
provided by USAutoNews.com, the first and largest dealer centric automotive
Internet portal and exchange.  Private Label Service Contract is quickly
customized to Galpin's brand and provides its customers the ability to learn
about extended vehicle service contracts, get quotes and purchase an extended
vehicle service contract.
    Private Label Service Contract provides a quick, easy and low-cost
extended service contract website that can directly link to a dealer's
existing website.  For nearly one in three cars that are sold outside the
dealership between private parties, Private Label Service Contract enables
dealers to access this market and gives consumers the ability to protect their
car and have it serviced by a local dealer.  The result: the dealer gets a new
customer and the consumer has the convenience and safety of doing business
with a local dealer.
    "Galpin's success is based on understanding the changing needs of our
customers and taking care of those needs," said H.F. "Bert" Boeckmann II,
Owner and President of Galpin Ford, Jaguar, Lincoln Mercury and Saturn.  "They
like the convenience of the Internet to research and to purchase products, but
the convenience and quality assurance they get from the dealer.  That is why
we chose to brand the Private Label Service Contract website to GoGalpin.com.
It will provide vehicle service contract quote and purchase opportunities to
our current and future customers."
    James Kennedy, Vice President of Sales for USAutoNews.com agreed with Mr.
Boeckmann, adding: "This agreement with the Galpin Dealership Group is a major
validation of what we call e-local, that is utilizing the Internet to improve
local sales and service."
