Prior to the advent of the Internet, many of the companies operating in the automotive aftermarket had resisted any attempt to develop common standards that would facilitate seamless integration of informational technology and systems. This lack of commonality has resulted in many service shops reliance on numerous IT applications that often require stand alone machines and/or dedicated electronic access.

“Most of our Internet competitors are using a fragmented yellow book approach that offers yet another place to list a shops name, phone number and description of services,” said Liao. “MechanicNet.com and ALLDATA are leveraging the Internet to help the shops become more successful by providing them with the leading-edge tools to improve customer communications, aggregate automotive informational services, improve efficiencies with suppliers and reduce the overall cost to the supply chain.”

“ALLDATA’s informational-based systems and technical service bulletins are used today by the most advanced automotive technicians in the country to properly diagnose, repair, and maintain vehicles,” adds Liao. “ALLDATA has unquestionably set the standard of excellence in automotive information for professional technicians, and through our new strategic alliance, we hope to bring this same level of professionalism to mechanics and repair shops in the automotive aftermarket. MechanicNet.com is both honored and proud to be working with a recognized leader in the automotive aftermarket to again raise the bar in delivering valuable technology tools to the repair shops.”
