ALLDATA LLC, an AutoZone company and the leading provider of
manufacturers’ automotive repair information and solutions for the
professional automotive service and collision repair industries,

for technicians to access the reliable, updated OEM information
they need to complete repairs. The company has grown to cover 95
percent of the OEM market, providing accurate, updated information

“ALLDATA invented the auto repair information market and we’ve
diversified our solutions from repair information to include shop
management, mobile repair, experience-based repair information and

continuing to evolve and introduce new products to help shops
efficiently complete repairs and get vehicles back to customers.
I’m really looking forward to the innovations and evolution ALLDATA
will experience over the next few years.”

industry. Other companies jumped into the market when they saw
