Clifton Park, New York (PRWEB) May 14, 2007 -- Auto/Mate Dealership Systems, ranked the highest for overall customer satisfaction in the last three NADA surveys, announced today it has received GM Auto-VIS (Automatic Vehicle Information System) certification for the company's AMPS (Automotive Management Productivity Suite) Service system. The Auto-VIS interface allows service personnel to enter a VIN in AMPS and view all vehicle information including open recalls from within AMPS.

Auto/Mate's GM dealers will save valuable time during the service write-up process by being able to execute a VIS inquiry in AMPS without having to access the Dealer World portal.

"Adding Auto-VIS to our GM Certified Interface will allow our dealers to increase their level of customer satisfaction on the service lanes," said Mike Esposito, President & CEO of Auto/Mate.

Auto/Mate has completed the required pilot phase testing of the Auto-VIS interface and will begin deployment immediately to its GM dealers at no extra charge.
