Strathcom Media and CarProof Join Forces in Providing Better Access to Data for Customers Shopping for Cars in Canada

    Edmonton, Alberta and London, Ontario - October 24, 2006

Strathcom Media and CarProof announced today that the two companies will work together to provide automotive dealers, and their clients, vehicle history on demand. This will allow the general public, who is on a dealer website using this service, to request the history of the vehicle that he or she is contemplating buying. By facilitating the wider distribution of vehicle history data, Strathcom Media and CarProof will empower the general buyer in their search for their desired vehicle.

"Dealers tell us that when they provide printed copies of our CarProof vehicle history report to prospective buyers it adds confidence to the transaction and helps them sell vehicles. Therefore, we thought it would be a natural progression to partner with Strathcom Media so that our dealers can provide the same level of disclosure for their on-line customers as well" said Holden Rhodes, Vice President of CarProof.

"With Strathcom Media's full array of dealer inventory management tools, partnering with CarProof made perfect sense" said VP of Business Development Dan Manning. "We want to make sure we offer the best products to dealers and manufacturers across the country - that's why we chose to partner with CarProof".
