December 8, 2008: Parker Hannifin Now Offers Tire Hazard and Roadside
Assistance Plans to Complement Nitrogen Tire Filling Operations

Haverhill, MA –Haverhill, MA: Parker Hannifin, the world leader in nitrogen tire inflation equipment, is pleased to announce they now offer tire hazard and roadside
assistance packages. Cap kits and tire protection plans present a wide variety of options for the dealership, allowing them to expand their nitrogen inflation
offering from primarily a service lane option to one that is successful in PDI or F&I as well. Dealerships can use these packages to present a good-better-bestapproach to the nitrogen driver, ultimately increasing the incremental revenue and profitability and
improving customer retention.

There are currently three primary offerings: Tire Hazard 150, Sign and Drive Roadside Assistance and a
combination of both. These plans provide the nitrogen driver complete protection on an annual basis. Other plans, that offer higher value or longer term protection will also be available.

Each of these protection plans is supplied with access to an internet based customer marketing and
retention tool. This provides customized monthly or quarterly newsletters to tire protection plan clients,
including personalized coupons and timely communication (i.e. winter driving tips) with the logo of the
dealership. Customers respond well to the newslwetter & coupon format, drawing them back to the
dealership for other services. It can also be used to solicit plan renewal automatically for the dealership
when the protection plans expire.
