Fueled by the recent release of ALLDATA Repair S3000 and ALLDATA Collision S3500 last fall, ALLDATA continues to grow its market share while driving the market with innovative products and services. Both products included major feature upgrades to ALLDATA's core competency of providing the automotive aftermarket with factory-correct OE mechanical and collision repair information.
Commenting on the achievement, ALLDATA President, Jeff Lagges said, "We are very excited about reaching this milestone. Over the years, we have remained committed to understanding the needs of the market and we are proud that ALLDATA is trusted by our customers and the industry as a whole."
ALLDATA was founded in 1986 in Elk Grove, California and was first in the North American market with an electronic automotive repair manual. All repair procedures and diagrams in the product come directly from the vehicle manufacturers; data is never edited or summarized. ALLDATA's extensive database contains more than 22,000 engine-specific vehicles from 1982 to current. ALLDATA's products are best in class for both the mechanical and the collision repair industries.
"We have had rapid adoption to our latest product releases because we are committed to building products that drive the market forward and more important, are critical to our customers' businesses," Lagges says. "We are constantly researching market trends and anticipating the next generation of products to assist our customers. We have been a leader in this field since the day we sold our first unit, and we intend to remain out front. Our goal is simply to help automotive repair shops deliver excellent service with factory-correct OE information and to thrive as a result."
