Vast Database of Manufacturers' Vehicle Repair Information Includes Major Brands

FRANKFURT, Germany, 2012-09-10 09:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
ALLDATA Europe GmbH, the European subsidiary of ALLDATA LLC, the leading
provider of manufacturers' vehicle repair information and solutions for the
U.S. professional automotive service and collision repair industries, announced
today that ALLDATA Repair, its first product designed specifically for the
European market is being introduced to the public for the first time this week
at Automechanika in Frankfurt. Show visitors can see a demo of ALLDATA Repair
in Hall 9.1, Booth E10. 

ALLDATA Repair was created by experts for experts. With more than 25 years of
experience and a dedicated team behind it, ALLDATA Repair for Europe is the
most comprehensive automotive repair database in the industry. 

ALLDATA Europe obtains OE (original equipment) data directly from the vehicle
manufacturers and is authorized to make it available to repair shops. The
factory-correct information in ALLDATA Repair for Europe is not edited or
redrawn, and it will cover all major manufacturers as it grows. The data
includes: 

  -- Unedited repair procedures, diagrams and specifications
  -- Detailed error codes and diagnostic test charts
  -- Electrical wiring diagrams including adapter plugs and locations of parts
     and cable bundles
  -- Current TSBs (technical service bulletins), recall campaigns and factory
     updates
  -- Filling Quantities
  -- Tightening Torques
  -- Mode 6 data including PIDs, TIDs, CIDs and scaling
  -- Factory recommended maintenance schedules and more
  -- Data is available in multiple languages: English, German, Spanish, French
     and Italian

ALLDATA currently is an official licensee of information for twelve brands:
Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford, Opel, VW, Mini, Skoda, Smart, Citroen, Fiat, Renault
and Peugeot. The first brands available online in September are Mercedes-Benz,
BMW and Ford. Information for Opel, VW, Mini, Skoda, Smart, Citroen, Fiat,
Renault, and Peugeot is available through the ALLDATA Info Center, in the
product. 

'ALLDATA Repair gives European shops a depth of information they didn't have
before,' said Uli Zehnpfenning, CEO and Managing Director, ALLDATA Europe. 'We
are the first to provide this level of detail to the European market. At
ALLDATA, you don't only find some information about a car brand, you find all
of it.' 

In the European version of ALLDATA Repair, the original tree structure of the
respective OE manufacturer is preserved, and advanced search logic facilitates
the retrieval of information. This structure ensures all available data is
maintained. Unlike existing systems in Europe, ALLDATA Repair is focused on a
consistent text search allowing users to search for familiar terms and then
displaying matching information. The user does not need to learn new concepts
or get used to a new way to search for information. 

'Repair shops have benefited from ALLDATA Repair for 25 years in the U.S.,'
said Michael Krampe, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, ALLDATA Europe. 'Now
repair shops in Europe can leverage that expertise while repairing vehicles
back to OE standards with confidence.' 

After Automechanika, ALLDATA Repair will be distributed by resellers throughout
Europe.
