Wix Earns CARQUEST Order Fill Award

    GASTONIA, N.C., May 16 Wix Filtration Products, a part of
Dana Corporation's Automotive Aftermarket Group and a leading
manufacturer and distributor of filtration products, has received the first-
ever CARQUEST Order Fill Award from CARQUEST Auto Parts for its exemplary
efficiency in supplying CARQUEST-branded filtration products.
    The CARQUEST Order Fill Award is one of the most prestigious vendor awards
given by the Lakewood, Colorado-based automotive products retailer, and is
presented only to those vendors achieving an exceptionally high order fill
rate.  Wix supplied its premium line of CARQUEST Blue Filters to CARQUEST
Distribution Centers at an order fill rate of 95 percent in 2000.
    CARQUEST presented Wix with the inaugural honor at its recent annual
meeting.
    "We set high standards for our vendors," said CARQUEST Corporation
President Peter Kornafel.  "The CARQUEST Order Fill Award was created to
recognize those who meet and exceed those standards, and CARQUEST Filters by
Wix has done that once again in 2000."
    Wix Filtration Products has twice received the CARQUEST Vendor of the Year
award, the company's highest vendor recognition.
    "Order turnaround time and accuracy are the cornerstones for building
quality customer relationships in our business," said John Washbish,
president, Dana Under Hood Group.  "The fact that Wix and two other of our
Automotive Aftermarket Group businesses have been honored by CARQUEST for
exceeding their rigorous order fill standards is indicative of our commitment
to that concept."
    "Achieving an award-winning order fill rate with CARQUEST while at the
same time implementing an enterprise-wide computer system enhancement
demonstrates the professional commitment Wix has to the CARQUEST account,"
said Wix Filtration Products Vice President and General Manager Keith Wilson.
"We're proud of this remarkable accomplishment, grateful for this recognition,
and look forward to continued performance in 2001."
    In addition to Washbish and Wilson, present to accept the award were Terry
McCormack, president, Dana Automotive Aftermarket Group; Bryan Watson,
national sales manager; David Hogue, director of marketing; Wayne Sorenson,
regional sales manager; and Jeff Blocher, marketing specialist.
