Automobile Consumer Services, Inc. (ACS), an automotive e-business products and services provider, has partnered with Carsforwork, Inc., a subsidiary of Donlen Corporation, on AutoFleet.com, which provides small to medium-sized companies access to open-end leasing and vehicle management products and services once reserved for only larger company fleets. "Now, companies that operate as few as four vehicles can realize substantial savings in the cost of purchasing, leasing and maintaining their vehicles," said Tarry Shebesta, ACS president and founder. "With AutoFleet.com, comprehensive fleet information dedicated to `not-so-big' companies is readily accessible. Until now, very few, if any, alternatives were available to this group -- especially over the Internet." Message Forum Answers Questions; Highlights Ways to Save AutoFleet.com's Message Forum provides an opportunity for fleet decision-makers to ask questions, exchange ideas, learn the latest industry news, and share their experiences with others. AutoFleet.com's Fleet Advisory Team closely monitors the Forum. Advisory Team members have years of fleet management experience, and access to the most up-to-date information. "The Message Forum area is one of the site's best features," Shebesta said. "It provides fleet managers with a place to gather unbiased information from professionals who know the `ins and the outs' of the fleet industry." The site also features a dealer locator to help business owners and fleet managers find "fleet minded" dealers near them. Also available are discounted fleet services like universal fuel cards, vehicle maintenance, and "Fleet Connect," a free quote service. Advisory Team Ready to Help AutoFleet.com's Fleet Advisory Team is ready to add a personal touch to the fast and efficient technology available through the Internet. Team members will assist business owners and fleet managers with every aspect of the decision-making process. "The service provided by our Fleet Advisory Team, coupled with the power of the Internet, makes AutoFleet.com the Internet's premiere fleet site for small to medium-sized companies," Shebesta said.
