The part I “GARAGE MARKETING SYSTEMS AT THE TEST BENCH” is dealing with the basic structures of the systems. There are overviews about the actual number of partners of the systems, who is steering the systems and if the systems are franchise – or agreement systems. In a “to do” part are recommendations given how to act in the future. An own research parts shows the results of a survey among systems partners and their systems and shows interesting development trends opposite a comparable research project in 1999. Finishing a detailed data base with the most important contact data of 64 systems is given.

The part II “Comparison of the garage marketing systems” consists in a data bank of 35 systems. For each system there is a detailed description which performance modules the systems contain, what are the costs and which minimum standards have to be reached.
