SAN RAMON, Calif., Oct. 12, 2004 -- ADP Claims Services Group, a leading provider of integrated business solutions for the property and casualty, collision repair and automotive recycling industries, announced today that Cars Collision Centers will use ADP's estimating system and claims management applications in its 30 shops to manage assignments for insurance companies.

"Our customer care center has become the heartbeat of our organization. We developed it to manage direct-repair program business. One of our primary insurance companies introduced us to ADP and we realized we could optimize performance and maximize management information value by using Shoplink and web-based applications together for all of our insurance business," said Shelly Bernhard, call center manager. "We told ADP about our call center requirements and ADP made some changes quickly to answer our needs. That is excellent service and support."
