ALLDATA selected as trade magazine readers' favorite for fifth consecutive year.
Elk Grove, CA, January 7, 2008 - For the fifth year in a row, ALLDATA has received the
prestigious Readers' Choice Award from Babcox Publications. ALLDATA was chosen by the readers of
Brake & Front End, Underhood Service and ImportCar magazines. This distinctive award acknowledges
ALLDATA's outstanding advertising achievements and brand recognition in the automotive
marketplace.
"Of the hundreds of advertisers who seek readers' attention, these companies are among the best,"
said Publisher Jeff Stankard. "They recognize that repair shop owners and managers consistently
cite trade magazines as the leading source of product and technical information, and when you
combine an effective advertising message with a marketspecific magazine, you get a marketing program
that delivers results."
"At ALLDATA, we focus intently on customer care and satisfaction; it is especially gratifying
to see our efforts validated by this award. These publications are a vital link in our communications
strategy," said Steve Gill, ALLDATA's VP of marketing.
Professional repair shop owners receiving Brake & Front End, Underhood Service and ImportCar
magazines participated in the nationwide Babcox survey of advertising readership and advertising
recall. In addition to the Babcox Reader's Choice Award, ALLDATA recently won the "Top 5 Tools Award"
presented by TechShop magazine. This marks the third consecutive year that ALLDATA has received this
coveted award.
