Jeg's Mail Order Revolutionizes Industry Again

CHICAGO, Sept. 30 -- Jeg's Mail Order, an industry leader in the high performance parts aftermarket, has announced another breakthrough for the competitive auto parts mail order business. Beginning immediately, Jeg's Mail Order customers will receive free 1-2 day nationwide delivery on all orders taken through the Jeg's Mail Order toll-free line, 1-800-345-4545, or on http://www.jegs.com/.

The announcement was made Friday at Route 66 Raceway in Chicago with three-time world champion drag racer Jeg Coughlin Jr. debuting a "Free 1-2 Day Nationwide Delivery" paint scheme on his Dodge Stratus R/T Pro Stock car, which competes on the NHRA's POWERade Drag Racing Series.

"Our family loves to race, and we're also big automobile enthusiasts so we know what it's like to need a part and need it fast," Coughlin said. "We've always strived to offer the best customer service in the business, from our live tech support to having the ability to order parts 24 hours a day. Now we're taking what we feel is the next logical step in the process getting the part to the customer as quickly as possible, coast-to-coast."

Setting trends in the high performance parts aftermarket is nothing new for Jeg's Mail Order, which began as a small speed shop in Columbus, Ohio, in 1960. The company is credited with implementing the industry's first toll-free line for its customers in the early 1990s. Since then, Jeg's has led the charge by offering the first all-color parts catalogue in the industry and the first to offer free ground shipping for its customers in the U.S.

"Whether they're tuning up their everyday car, prepping a show car for the next competition, tricking out their street rod, or preparing for a big race, we want our customers to know they can call us and we'll deliver for them," Coughlin said. "Now we can say we'll deliver for them for free and in 1-2 days. It's exciting."

Aside from Coughlin's Pro Stock car, the Jeg's Mail Order Super Comp dragsters of Jeg Coughlin, Mike Coughlin, and "Fast Jack" Beckman, will also display the new promotion this weekend at the fifth annual Ameriquest Mortgage NHRA Nationals. Additionally, all of the team transporters have had their back doors redesigned to help get out the message of this campaign.
