Automotive Avenues (AAI), an entity of Aimbridge Automotive Group, which is a division of The Aimbridge Group, announced the launch of its redesigned Web site. Automotive Avenues says it provides credit union members with an alternative to purchasing their vehicles through the traditional franchise dealership. The re-designed site is located at www.autoaves.com.

According to the company, the Automotive Avenues site was designed by Redbeard Communications, a brand strategy and creative design firm, who also developed The Aimbridge Group's Web site with the same look and feel. "We wanted our site to closely resemble The Aimbridge Group's Web site so that credit union members, managers and automobile dealers would instantly recognize our affiliation with them, yet keep the unique tools, features and benefits for our credit union members," said Bill Green, president and general manager of Automotive Avenues.

The company says consumers can research and compare the cost of vehicle makes and models using Automotive Avenues tools on the Web site. "On our Web site, consumers can search, view, compare, review, add and subtract features, update the model year, change the color and lower the price parameters of any vehicle they are considering," Green continued. "The choices are literally endless, and these tools allow consumers to make a researched and educated decision on how much their new car should cost no matter what options they have selected."

The company says the Web site also allows consumers to search Automotive Avenue's pre-owned inventory, research various financing options and make an appointment with AAI's parts and services center. It also features AAI's Member Auto Center (MAC). MAC is a free, personalized Web page for an individual's automobile, which centralizes all maintenance information in one, updateable report.

"Today, so many people misplace the service records for their cars," said Green. "Having all this information centrally located is very convenient. The Automotive Avenues Web site is a comprehensive dealership site available to consumers, and it provides helpful tips and statistics to those choosing a new car," Green concluded.
