vAUTO BOLSTERING STAFF IN AUSTIN AND CHICAGO 

TO KEEP PACE WITH GROWTH

CHICAGO - Building on a successful 2008 and continued success in the first
months of 2009, vAuto is looking to double its workforce in 2009 in order to
keep pace with its rapid growth.

As the fastest-growing provider of web-based inventory-management systems
for the industry's more than 70,000 franchised and independent used-car
dealers, the company finished 2008 with a total of 1,600 dealership
rooftops, up from 550 in 2007.

Headquartered in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook, Ill., vAuto maintains a
research and development center in Austin, Texas.

Keith Jezek, vAuto's president and CEO, notes that "the growth of vAuto is a
direct result of our customers' success. Dealers using the vAuto technology,
as well as implementing the vAuto management philosophy, are experiencing
record results. It is critical that we continue to add staff to maintain our
high level of customer service."

Over the last few months, developers and analysts have been added to vAuto's
Austin research and development office in order to continue to release
technology enhancements, as well as to support the company's current suite
of products. 

In addition, Michelle Black has been named senior marketing manager in the
Oak Brook headquarters and will lead all facets of vAuto's marketing
communications.

"Black's 12 years in the marketing communications sector will play a large
role in furthering the vAuto brand and presence in the marketplace," Jezek
said.

vAuto's breakthrough "Live Market View" technology allows dealers to manage
used-car inventories based on comprehensive supply-and-demand information
for their market. Details on millions of pre-owned vehicles are maintained
and updated on a daily basis within vAuto's massive database. The company
launched its new merchandising tool at the 2009 NADA Convention in New
Orleans.

The nation's six highest-volume franchised dealerships by brand currently
use vAuto's stocking, pricing, appraisal and merchandising systems,
including Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Nissan, Lincoln-Mercury and Toyota.
Virtually every imported and domestic vehicle brand is represented on the
company's customer list.
