MSN Autos service, formerly MSN Carpoint, a network of automotive research, buying and ownership services,

announced an agreement with the Dealer Services Group of

Automatic Data Processing Inc., a provider of computing

solutions to more than 16,000 automotive and truck dealers worldwide.

According to the company, through this relationship, consumers are able to access the

service and repair feature as part of MSN Autos' free My Car service,

which also offers customizable, real-time traffic reports; gas price

information; driving directions; as well as warranty, recall and

vehicle book value information from industry partners. The new

tire alignment, tune-ups or general car maintenance through a growing

network of national retail automotive dealer locations. Consumers also

can view dealer schedules and receive e-mail appointment reminders. In

addition, users of MSN Autos can receive e-mail notifications of

manufacturers' recalls and regularly scheduled maintenance

recommendations.

"Teaming with ADP's Dealer Services Group enables MSN Autos to

enhance our existing ownership services to meet the needs of car

buyers and owners, saving them time and money," said Ryan Hamlin,

general manager of MSN Autos at Microsoft Corp. "This strategic

relationship further demonstrates our commitment to working with

industry leaders to provide the most-comprehensive online research,

car-buying and ownership services available, and we will continue to

introduce useful, everyday services to consumers as part of the MSN
