Offers Innovative Commitment to Discontinue Subscriptions for Stores That Are Closed, Sold, or Lose Floorplanning
Lake Success, NY, April 13, 2009 - DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRAK), a leading provider of on-demand software and data solutions for the U.S. automotive retail industry, today announced the launch of the DealerTrack Assurance Commitment, which provides that dealers and dealer groups will not be responsible for future monthly subscription fees on any new subscriptions for DealerTrack solutions used by stores that are subsequently closed, sold, or lose their floorplanning.
"This initiative will make it easier for us to move forward together with the important business of ensuring that dealers have the technology they need - across every department in their dealership - to enhance their efficiency and profitability," said Mark O'Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of DealerTrack. "As an industry leader and trusted partner to over 19,000 dealerships, DealerTrack recognizes the financial pressures auto retailers are facing today. With our unique Assurance Commitment, we are taking off the table some of the key uncertainties dealers wrestle with in signing contracts for subscription products."
Dealers can now rest assured that with new subscriptions for any DealerTrack solution, future monthly fees will be forgiven for any stores they later cease to operate, or that lose their floorplanning. In addition, dealers with current subscription contracts can elect to enter into new contracts incorporating the Assurance Commitment.
