Advance Auto Parts Professional Rolls Out Coverage Increases for MotoLOGIC Repair & Diagnostics

ROANOKE, Va. (March 26, 2013) – Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP)—a leading automotive aftermarket retailer and provider to commercial garages of parts, accessories and maintenance items – announced today the addition of OE repair and diagnostic information for manufacturers Audi, Mazda, Mercedes and Volkswagen to MotoLogic®, its industry-leading repair and diagnostic software tool.

Fast navigation; accurately rendered, original OE content; and extraordinary ease of use have made MotoLogic a best-in-class repair and diagnostic service. The depth of information and ease of access available within MotoLogic is unrivaled in the industry, and included in the rollout of additional manufacturer coverage is the addition of service information for older-model vehicles dating from the early 1990s to the 1950s.
