127 New Dealerships Join Supplier Network, January Parts.com Marketplace Sales Up 244%, January Storefront Parts Sales Up 193%

    SANFORD, Fla., Feb. 26 Parts.com, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: MIRM), a marketplace and software solutions provider for
the parts industry, announced the addition of 127 new dealerships to its
growing supplier network and reported January parts.com marketplace parts
sales rose 244%, as January Storefront parts sales rose 193%.
    "Parts.com continues to add dealerships to our growing supplier network
which is fast approaching 3,000 dealers," stated Shawn D. Lucas, CEO and
President.  "We pulled back our marketing efforts over the last four weeks in
order to allow our TradeMotion Programmers and On-line Trainers time to catch
up with the overwhelming response.  We will restart our marketing campaign
this week, in order to continue the growth of our supplier network," concluded
Mr. Lucas.
    Dealerships using the parts.com TradeMotion Storefront and TradeMotion
OCTANE solutions are capturing thousands of dollars in additional parts
revenue in just a few short weeks.
    "We've been able to generate over $5,000.00 in parts sales in less than
six weeks with virtually no promotion," stated Jason Vittengl, of Route 9
Autoworld.  "Storefront is a well-conceived tool that improves daily.  Our
parts savvy customers find Storefront very easy to use.  Most important,
parts.com's technical staff is great to work with and is very willing to help
us with a number of challenges we had with our website.  Storefront is already
paying off and I suspect that when we seriously start promoting it, that sales
will really take off," concluded Mr. Vittengl.
    "In just the first few weeks we received over $12,000 in parts orders,"
stated Roger Merrick who represents six dealerships in Texas.  "I am very
impressed with the detail and functionality, particularly the ease of use of
the interface.  It's very user friendly and works extremely efficiently.  The
Storefront product works, it's a viable tool and when promoted correctly, it
generates sales volume.  Storefront is well worth the money," concluded Mr.
Merrick.
    "The marketplace parts sales have taken off as well as our dealership
Storefront parts sales, which are averaging just over a $1,000.00 per month,
per dealership," stated Mr. Lucas.  "We feel that as TradeMotion Storefront
and TradeMotion OCTANE expands its products to include aftermarket parts and
accessories, allows for the procurement of dealership supplies and expands the
Direct2DMS locater service, parts managers across the country will recognize
TradeMotion as the parts platform of choice for the automotive industry,"
concluded Mr. Lucas.
