Coastal Body Works and coastalbodyworks.com has been selected by the Automotive Service Association’s AutoInc. Magazine as one of its Top 10 websites for the 2008 year!

The following press release is from ASA’s AutoInc. Magazine January 2008 Edition:

“AutoInc. is proud to present the winners in its 11th annual Top 10 Automotive Repair Web Sites competition. After reviewing hundreds of Web sites found in search engines, links from other sites and shop sites found in the "Find Nearest ASA Shop" locator of the ASA Web site, nominees were based on specific criteria.

The nominated sites needed to have a pleasing appearance with professional graphics and an easy navigation scheme. We looked for basic information like services offered and easy-to-find contact information. But innovative trends such as online appointment scheduling, vehicle repair tracking, online customer surveys and other interactive features made certain sites stand apart from others.

Over a decade ago, AutoInc. set out to choose 10 Web sites that deserved the recognition of being the best automotive repair Web sites on the Internet. Since then, the Internet has changed substantially, making the functionality of shop Web sites more versatile, efficient and easier to use. Informational Web sites gave way to interactive sites that drive more customers into today's repair facilities. More and more shops are using the Internet as part of their overall marketing plan, making it even more difficult to choose just 10 outstanding Web sites.

Since it started, AutoInc.'s annual Top 10 Automotive Repair Web Sites feature has been a guide to help shop owners understand the capabilities of the Internet in the automotive repair industry. We want to help other shops find their place on the World Wide Web and give them examples of what fellow shop owners are integrating into their sites.”
