Firestone Complete Auto Care™ Launches New Web SiteFirestoneCompleteAutoCare.com provides three shops in one stop

BLOOMINGDALE, Ill. (June 3, 2008) – In today’s busy world, consumers don’t have all day to search for the tires and services they need for their vehicles. That’s why Firestone Complete Auto Care has launched a new version of its Web site, www.FirestoneCompleteAutoCare.com, providing many new features that take the hassle out of shopping for automotive service and maintenance.

“At Firestone Complete Auto Care we have a promise to care,” said Jim Stahulak, Manager of Internet/Database Marketing for BFS Retail & Commercial Operations, LLC (BFRC), parent company of Firestone Complete Auto Care. “Our new Web site educates consumers about tires, vehicle maintenance and repairs to help them better understand their vehicles and how they operate. We understand that it’s not easy having your vehicle out of operation for service. That’s why our Web site provides consumers with convenient ways to shop for tires and make appointments at their local Firestone Complete Auto Care stores.”

As soon as visitors enter the site, they are introduced to the services that Firestone Complete Auto Care offers – maintenance, repairs and tires. The site allows visitors to easily schedule appointments online and have maintenance reminders and special promotions automatically delivered to their e-mail inboxes.

Tires: Just as proper footwear is important for comfort and correct body alignment, appropriate tires are vital to the overall performance and handling of a vehicle. FirestoneCompleteAutoCare.com allows visitors to identify the proper tires for their vehicles, find a vehicle’s recommended tire pressure and browse information on tires, pricing and technology. Viewers can instantly receive a quote on tires and make an online appointment to have them installed at a convenient Firestone Complete Auto Care location.

Maintenance: Automobile manufacturers recommend that vehicle owners regularly service their vehicles according to the schedule in the owner's manual. At FirestoneCompleteAutoCare.com, visitors can view their vehicles’ specific maintenance schedules and sign up to receive maintenance reminders. Visitors will also learn about different types of maintenance, including air conditioning, transmission and radiator services, tune-ups, oil changes and inspections.

Repairs: Firestone Complete Auto Care provides repairs to get a vehicle in working order. In the repair section of FirestoneCompleteAutoCare.com, visitors will learn the difference between vehicle maintenance and repairs.
