Fix Auto's technology and services have been embraced by some of the industry's largest companies, including General Motors, Nissan, USAA Insurance, GEICO and ADP. As a result Fix added more than 500 new customers in 2005. 

"We've learned a great deal about networks over the years and the need for real-time performance measurement," said Doug Kelly, president and COO, Fix Auto. "There are a number of organizations in the market, including car companies, paint companies, distributors and even some insurance companies that have a genuine interest in helping their collision center customers succeed.

"We realize that, even with a larger footprint, Fix will still represent a small percentage of the market, and having our technology and services used by others is better for everyone - car manufacturers, insurers, shops, distributors and paint companies.

The company's plans for 2006 include adding new products and services, private labeling certain parts of its offering, entering new agreements with other Fortune 500 companies, and growing the Fix Network with the introduction of a new pricing program.

"Our goal in the next year is to differentiate our technology and services business from the Network business." said Erick Bickett, founder and CEO of Fix Auto. "By creating two distinct businesses, we will be able to focus on growing both and address any potential concerns around the separate nature of these two businesses."
