United Recyclers Group and Car-Part.com Align To Place Parts on the Internet
    DENVER, July 1 -- Today, United Recyclers Group (URG) and
Car-Part.com announced a new partnership in which Car-Part.com will gather the
parts inventory data of automotive recyclers.  That data will be displayed on
the Car-Part.com website and downloaded to all URG Pinnacle(TM) systems into
URG's computerized trading system, URGNet(TM).  In addition, URG Partner data
will be displayed on URG's website, http://www.autopartsearch.com (the URG Shopping
Mall).
    Car-Part.com will also arrange for the data to be displayed on the
recyclers individual website.  By placing parts inventories in several
locations on the Internet and in URG's trading system, recyclers are insuring
the greatest possible exposure for used parts, while meeting consumer demand.
    Jeff Schroder, President of Car-Part.com says, "By moving parts from the
warehouse to the storefronts of the web, auto recyclers gain great exposure
and sales for their parts.  This agreement with URG raises the bar even higher
by putting parts on the web and displaying it on auto recycler's sales
screens.  Auto recyclers can now do business with the partners of their choice
and not be limited to trading only with partners using the same inventory
management system."
    URG is a group of over 350 auto recyclers throughout the U.S. and Canada
that participated in and paid for the development of the Pinnacle(TM) Auto
Recycling Trading System (PARTS(TM)).  The Pinnacle(TM) is the only
information system designed by recyclers for recyclers.  URGNet(TM) is just
one of many features of the Pinnacle(TM) that allows users to instantaneously
access and share their inventories.  Over 70 URG Partners are now using
Pinnacle(TM) and URGNet(TM).
