Utilization of these technology standards and best practices allows the auto care industry to pool resources and leverage economies of scale. NEW The Auto Care Association's widely-adopted suite of technology standards and databases has gotten even sweeter with the launch of the newly-branded Vehicle Information Portal (VIP), the most consolidated, comprehensive, cohesive and user-friendly version of the system since its launch more than 15 years ago. The culmination of more than five years of planning, the ambitious VIP platform includes a synchronization of all of the system's databases, the creation of a better user interface and the overall improvement of the user experience. VIP includes the most comprehensive, high-quality data for U.S., Canada and Mexico. www.autocarevip.com 9http://www.autocare.org/technology/ http://www.autocare.org/technology/ http://www.autocare.org/technology/ http://www.autocare.org/technology/ http://www.autocarevip.com
