Hunter Engineering Packages ALLDATA Diagnostic & Repair System with P411 Aligners

    ELK GROVE, Calif., Sept. 2 -- ALLDATA(R) Corporation, the
market leader in publishing Electronic Automotive Diagnostic and Repair
Information, announced that Hunter Engineering Company has packaged the
ALLDATA(R) database for undercar repairs with their alignment product being
marketed nationally to several thousand automotive shops.  The ALLDATA
Undercar Product will help shop owners and technicians diagnose and repair
undercar problems directly from their Hunter P411 Wheel Aligner consoles.
    "Hunter is proud to offer the industry's premier diagnostic and repair
information product," says Dave Smith, VP of Marketing for Hunter.  "The power
of ALLDATA information linked to Hunter's sophisticated service platform
provides the strongest team in undercar service.  Our field organization is
excited about delivering these products to Hunter customers."
    ALLDATA Undercar provides thousands of pages of vehicle-specific undercar
information for passenger cars and light trucks, including diagnostic and
repair procedures and the most current factory Technical Service Bulletins and
service manual updates.  Technicians will access the ALLDATA information
directly from the WinAlign(R) software with a touch of a light pen.
    ALLDATA Undercar Includes:
    A2Z(TM) Component Search -- With the new A2Z Component Search Tool,
technicians can quickly locate important component level vehicle repair
detail.  Rather than browsing through multiple sections of the database,
technicians can simply click on the A2Z screen icon -- no matter where they
are in the database -- and enter a partial or complete component name.  As the
component name is being entered, the ALLDATA system will begin displaying the
components that are available.
    Hyperlinking -- Allows technicians to jump between related articles
anywhere in the database.  Hyperlinks also keep track of technicians' paths so
they can return to any article in a single mouse click.
    Image/Text Display -- ALLDATA Undercar's adjustable split screen provides
for simultaneous viewing of text and images, without toggling between screens.
The zoom feature enlarges images with a click of the mouse enabling users to
see the smallest detail.
    ABS Diagnostic Procedures -- ALLDATA Undercar provides the most up-to-date
electronic brake system diagnostics.
    Technical Service Bulletins from Vehicle Manufacturer -- Technicians can
access the most up-to-date factory fixes available.  When technicians look at
a repair procedure for a given component, they will see all of the TSB's
related to that component.
    "Hunter and ALLDATA offering a product together is a perfect example of
our Open Systems Computing architecture," says Jeffery Lagges, Senior Vice
President of Product Development.  "The ALLDATA Undercar product allows shop
owners to use two best-of-class products from the same computer console,
saving them time and money."
