1-800-Radiator(R) Targets 100 Percent Coverage of Cooling and Heating
Replacement Parts for GM, Chrysler and Ford Autos

BENICIA, Calif., April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- 1-800-Radiator today announced it
will achieve 100 percent coverage of the replacement market for cooling and
heating parts for General Motors, Chrysler and Ford automobiles by the summer
vacation driving season.

Today's news headlines focus on the problems of the three automotive giants
and the likely closures of many parts suppliers of U.S. automakers.
1-800-Radiator CEO Mike Rippey says a huge and important segment of the auto
industry will largely be overlooked unless someone steps up.

"Selling cars is one thing," says Rippey. "But what about essential supply of
radiators and air conditioning parts? What do you do when you need one, and
the dealer where you bought the car is no longer in business? The country's
repair shops need a reliable source of quality parts, and they need them
delivered quickly which is what 1-800-Radiator offers."

1-800-Radiator is already well established as a provider of radiators and
other parts to auto repair shops and do-it-yourselfers with 268 market
locations nationwide which are stocked with over 120,000 replacement parts for
U.S. automakers. In its U.S. and Canadian markets 1-800-Radiator delivers
brand new replacement parts within three hours. 1-800-Radiator has 50 percent
more locations in North America than it had two years ago supplying AC
condensers, compressors, heaters, evaporators, dryers, mirrors, radiators and
fan assemblies. All 1-800-Radiator parts come with a lifetime guarantee.
Customers have a choice of either original equipment quality or aftermarket
parts.
