(May 15, 2001) - The Automotive Service Association (ASA) now provides its over 12,000 members an excellent price on ALLDATA, the world's leading computer-based automotive repair information system for professional service providers. ASA's large membership base, centralized promotion and advertising of the ALLDATA product has made this excellent price available to ASA members. "ASA is constantly looking for ways to help members do their jobs more effectively and save money," said Walter Trapp, president and chief staff executive of ASA. "This ALLDATA discount program accomplishes both objectives." "Not only will technicians have the right information to repair cars correctly, the discount will be worth well more than the cost of the ASA membership," Trapp said. The ALLDATA database is accessible over the Internet, on DVD or CD and contains over 20,000 engine-specific vehicles dating back to 1982. ALLDATA subscribers receive quarterly updates of the latest automotive repair information, unlimited toll free telephone support from the ALLDATA National Customer Support Center, and access to the ALLDATA Automotive Library for additional repair materials and articles. "It is becoming more difficult for automotive repair facilities to rely exclusively on printed manuals due to the extensive amounts of information required to service and maintain today's vehicles," said Walt Samuelson, EVP/COO of ALLDATA, Customer Satisfaction. "ASA's decision to offer ALLDATA to its membership supports the evolution of the industry's requirements for electronic technical information."
