    "This marks the first time auto repair information can be purchased for
specific repairs, on-line," said Conrades.  "Wrenchead.com's overall goal is
to empower the auto enthusiast and this move is clearly helping Wrenchead.com
reach this objective by providing access to the world's most respected name in
automotive repair manuals."
    "By pointing a web browser to http://www.wrenchead.com , one can simply list the
automobiles make and year and the user will be able to isolate and download a
repair procedure at a low cost, 24 hours a day, seven days a week," added
Conrades.
    The 140 volumes of Chilton's Total Care Series will appear at
http://www.wrenchead.com within the next 90 days and the complete set will be on-line
by second quarter 2000.

needed to replace a part," said Dean Morgantini, president of Nichols, "and
allow us to add additional information that won't fit into a book format."
