LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. -- DealerTrack Holdings Inc. has created the DealerTrack Aftermarket Network. An industry first, the Aftermarket Network will provide real-time aftermarket contract rating and quote generation from participating providers of aftermarket products, including Life of the South, LoJack, Old Republic Insured Automotive Services Inc., Warrantech and others.

The Aftermarket Network will enable dealers to access their aftermarket providers free of charge within DealerTrack. All categories of aftermarket products will be represented on the network, including extended service contracts; GAP, etch, credit life and disability insurance; and vehicle recovery systems.

Since the Aftermarket Network will be fully integrated within the DealerTrack platform, both dealers and aftermarket providers may be able to benefit from improved accuracy and elimination of duplicate data entry. Dealers may also benefit from fewer chargebacks for inaccurate or incorrect aftermarket contract information.
