The Cobalt Group Signs Exclusive Agreement with Volkswagen of America to Provide National Parts Locator Service MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2000 7:02:00 AM EST SEATTLE, Oct 30, 2000 CBLT, a leading provider of e-business products and services to the automotive industry, today announced that Volkswagen of America, Inc. has chosen its PartsVoice(R) parts locating system as the exclusive contract vendor for the Volkswagen and Audi National Parts Locator in both the U.S and Canada. The service makes Volkswagen and Audi dealers' original equipment parts inventory easily accessible to anyone searching for parts, including Volkswagen and Audi dealers, non-Volkswagen and Audi dealers, repair/body shops, fleets, insurance companies and do-it-yourselfers. The Volkswagen and Audi Parts Locator database, scheduled to launch this fall, will be available on the Internet at www.PartsVoice.com and www.MotorPlace.com, through an interactive voice response telephone system, and through direct dial-in via modem. The Volkswagen and Audi Parts Locator saves time and money by enabling users to submit searches and identify only those dealers that stock the desired part, eliminating the need for random solicitation of other Volkswagen and Audi dealers. "We are pleased to be working with Volkswagen of America to provide a service that will save time for thousands of parts managers nationwide and will help dealers realize substantial untapped profits and added efficiencies," said Mike Bell, vice president and general manager of PartsVoice. "Volkswagen's decision to go with Cobalt's PartsVoice parts locator demonstrates their commitment to streamlining their dealers' parts operations by using the best tool available." PartsVoice has become the industry standard in parts locator services and is the sole endorsed provider of parts locator services to six other major auto manufacturers, including DaimlerChrysler, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Kia and Volvo Trucks North America.
