No need know the complex web address or have to use a search engine to find a web site that’s auto industry related because all listings on these pages have been organized by category and listed by their familiar brand or company name.
Just click on the name to visit their public site.
But we didn't stop there.
Since the purpose in creating this library is to have it become your own business's "Web Portal", we have gone beyond what a normal directory provides;
The pull-down menu above will link you to the major divisions of the directory but the index on the left of each page is a detailed listing of all pages which will allow you to find what you are looking for quickly.
Beside some of the listings, you will see a link button under the heading 'More'. Left click on it and it will take you to the full directory listing of that company that contains detailed information of that company along with their message or advertisement that is focused for the BC market.
This is easy.
If you visit a site and you feel it has valuable information for others of this industry, just copy the web address at the top of your browser and paste it into the body of the contact form. We will check it out and add it to the catalog as soon as possible.
Also, if you have an idea of additional groups or categories are needed, just drop us a line with a few links on the topic.
A library is useful only if people use it and your input and your contributions to this directory will insure that.
If you are a supplier of products or services to this industry, go directly to the Supplier Pages and add your listing. Your website will automatically be installed in the Link Library once reviewed.
Occasionally a web site gets a new name or moves to a new server and we don't know the address has changed until we try and view their site with the address we have.
Periodically we will run a program to test all these links to insure they are valid, but sometimes a few get through.
If you experience a bad link in any way, please let us know immediately so we can fix it. Click Here.
Extensive list covering trade and performance magazines, with links to websites for more information.
