Indianapolis, July 14, 2010 – Autobase, Inc., the premier provider in automotive CRM for auto dealers nationwide, and a division of Dominion Dealer Solutions, today announced a record number of product installations for the second quarter of 2010.

As auto dealers continue to face changing economic conditions, increased compliance requirements, and an ever present need to grow customer loyalty, Autobase is partnering with more dealers at a record pace.  With a new store added every business day in June alone, Autobase witnessed a record 261 deployments in the second quarter of 2010.  The collaborative effort between dealers and nearly every department in Autobase was vital to the accomplishment.

“This just proves that more auto dealers are searching for a total solution that provides a wealth of true value,” stated Bill Leek, national sales director for Autobase.  “As dealers see our solution and learn of the longevity and industry experience that are theirs in Autobase, they are making their choice known.  Over 40,000 dealership professionals now use Autobase to sell more cars at lower costs.  We are truly grateful to serve as their automotive CRM of choice.”

Bryan Anderson, founder and general manager of Autobase, commented, “It is wonderful to see the Autobase family growing at such a tremendous rate.  Speaking as a car guy, it’s great knowing that dealers and their sales staffs will bring home bigger paychecks because of the benefits associated with Autobase.  The payoffs of selling more vehicles will not only affect their businesses, but their families as well.”

Included in the totals for the quarter were installations of Autobase Business Solutions (ABS) and Managed Marketing Services.  These offerings provide auto dealers with a full-service business partnership by identifying monthly goals; defining a marketing strategy; mining the needed data; developing targeted, multi-channel campaigns; and delivering a comprehensive report on the month’s success.  Overall, 117 Autobase customers came onboard with ABS in Q2, making ABS the fastest growing segment in the Autobase offering.

Forecasted trends project 2010 as one of the biggest years in the company’s history.
