ALLDATA LCC, the
leading provider of automotive business
solutions to professional
mechanical and collision repair shops, is
celebrating its 25th
anniversary.
"In 1986 our founders had a vision," said ALLDATA President Jeff
Lagges. "Since then, we have continued to lead
the industry with
innovative products that drive efficiencies and
profitability
throughout a shop's operations. We like to say
that we offer
'counter-to-fender' solutions, and it's true.
Our growth has been a
direct result of anticipating needs and
listening to our customers. We
owe a great debt to our customers for helping us
develop products that
have a positive impact on their
businesses."
The electronic automotive repair information
industry was created with
the founding of ALLDATA by a visionary team led
by Rod Georgiu. Since
its inception, the company has been
headquartered in Elk Grove,
California. In 1996, ALLDATA was purchased by
AutoZone, Inc. to
complement its growing professional auto parts
business.
In 2008, ALLDATA celebrated its 70,000th product
subscriber, and just
three years later the company announced a record
80,000 subscribers. To
continue to meet customer's needs, ALLDATA
successfully launched a new
generation of products within the last year:
ALLDATA(R) Repair S3000
and ALLDATA(R) Collision(SM) S3500.
In addition, the company introduced
a major update to its fast-selling strategic
shop management system,
ALLDATA(R) Manage(SM). ALLDATA(R) Market(SM), a
customer communications
tool, is also rapidly gaining in
popularity.
Long-time ALLDATA employee, Patti Collins, says,
"I have been with
ALLDATA for 20 years, and I have seen many
changes. Over the years, the
one thing that remains the same is our
commitment to our customers. We
have never stopped developing products to meet
their needs and continue
to explore new ways to help them. That's why I'm
still here."
"We have just one overriding goal," commented
Lagges, "to help our
customers succeed. We look ahead and see only
greater success, just as
those who established ALLDATA
envisioned."
