    Josh Speyer, Automotive.com President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Automotive.com is positioned to be the next `Amazon' of auto parts and with Webzter's assistance we were able to bring our products to market in only weeks, instead of months. Automotive.com is indicative of high-end technological capability of Webzter Corporation; hence, they are our Web developer of choice. We intend to directly compete with firms such as Pep Boys -- Manny, Moe, and Jack , Discount Auto Parts, Inc. , Delphi Automotive Systems , CSK Auto Corp. , Hahn Automotive Warehouse, Inc. , United Auto Group, Inc. ."
    Automotive.com provides brand name auto parts and sells them at a substantial discount over the Internet for the consumer and business community.

    "We're very happy to have participated in the creation and technical development of Automotive.com," said Webzter CEO, Dean Shafer. "Webzter Corporation sees tremendous profit potential in designing and developing high quality e-commerce sites for niche industries such as auto parts. Automotive.com will compete directly with large firms that own, or are affiliated with auto parts; such firms as DaimlerChrysler AG , Ford , Toyota , GM , and Honda Motor Co. . These large firms are far from even considering an Internet strategy for auto parts, Automotive.com is easily more than two years ahead."
