ALLDATA was founded in direct response to a growing need. In 1986, a group of forward-thinking individuals in Elk Grove, California foresaw how automotive technology would soon transform the vehicle repair industry. They knew that shops would need fast access to reliable information for the coming explosion of makes and models.
As computer technology took hold, ALLDATA began compiling the largest single source of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) information available. Today, ALLDATA is the industry standard, used daily by hundreds of thousands of technicians worldwide.
In 1996, ALLDATA merged with AutoZone to provide the best combination of service & repair information and parts. AutoZone is the nation's leading retailer of automotive parts and accessories with more than 3,800 stores in the US, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.
