PROMOTION FROM MONROE® BRAKES EXTENDED, CONSUMERS & SHOP OWNERS CAN STILL GET A 'SLICK' BARGAIN

Oil Change Rebate Check Promotion Popular During Summer Season, Monroe Brakes Extends Program Until the End of 2007

Monroe, MI - Due to the unprecedented popularity of the Monroe Brakes "Slick Offer" promotion, Monroe Brakes has extended it through Dec. 31, 2007. The program rewards consumers with a mail-in rebate for the price of an oil change when they purchase a qualifying set of Monroe brake pads.

Monroe brake pads are manufactured and marketed by Tenneco Inc., a leading global supplier of ride control, emission control, and noise, vibration and harshness control products for the original equipment and replacement markets.

"We started this program in June, and experienced an unparalleled level of support and success," said Sheryl Bomia, North American Aftermarket programs manager for Tenneco. "The 'Slick Offer' drove repeat business to our service dealers oil change bays while giving consumers an extra incentive to have their brakes replaced or serviced, and it will continue to do that through the busy fall and winter service seasons."

To qualify, consumers must submit their sales receipt verifying the purchase of qualifying Monroe brake products and oil change service* with the necessary redemption form to program headquarters. Redemption forms are available at www.monroebrakes.com. All receipts and redemption forms must be postmarked by Jan. 14, 2008.

The oil change rebate is valid for 60 days with the purchase of the qualifying Monroe brake pads and oil change services worth up to $29.99. The promotion is available on qualifying Monroe brake products, including Monroe Ceramics and Monroe Dynamics brake pads.

Monroe Ceramics brake pads feature advanced, OE-style ceramic friction formulations that help deliver cooler, cleaner and quieter stopping than other brake materials.

Monroe Dynamics brake pads combine the benefits of OE-preferred constant pressure positive molding technology with a variety of aftermarket engineering enhancements to help ensure exceptional stopping power while minimizing noise, wear and dust associated with many competing pads.

For additional information on the Monroe Brakes "Slick Offer" promotion, please contact your Monroe supplier, visit www.monroebrakes.com, or write to: Monroe Brakes Marketing, One International Drive, Monroe, MI 48161.
