Local Couple Opens 1-800 Radiator's Seventh North Carolina Location

New Outlet Will Serve Asheville and the Surrounding Locations

ASHEVILLE, NC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 23, 2007 -- Local husband and wife team Ron and Jennifer Adams recently opened 1-800 Radiator's seventh North Carolina location. With the opening of the new outlet the Adamses bring 1-800 Radiator's signature same-day service and lifetime warranty to customers in Asheville and the surrounding areas.

1-800 Radiator delivers radiators and cooling components directly to auto shops and do-it-yourselfers across the nation. With over 150 distribution centers, the company can do this quickly and efficiently. In many metropolitan areas customers receive the parts within several hours of placing their order. The company's quick delivery, reasonable prices and lifetime parts and labor warranty have earned them a loyal following and a good reputation in the industry. Local owners like Ron and Jennifer Adams maintain this standard of service, providing their own communities with personalized and dedicated attention.

Ron Adams has been interested in cars for many years. He grew up working with them and is excited to enter the automotive industry. "We want to work with the automotive shops to bring them a type of service that they have not really had access to before," says Ron. "With our inventory and local delivery we really will be filling a vacant niche in Asheville's auto parts market." With the opening of Ron Adams' 1-800 Radiator outlet this "vacant niche" is filled by a local, family-owned business with a nationwide support system.

1-800 Radiator of Asheville opened on Monday May 14, 2007. The outlet is located at 40 Collier Avenue in Asheville and can be reached at (828) 255-2012.
