Faster Repairs

Helps technicians find information faster than ever before. Users find everything they need in a single look-up, thus saving time and getting cars out of the bays faster. Mitchell1 ProDemand™ returns the information that is needed for the specific repair so technicians don’t have to search through multiple pages of results for the appropriate information. As soon as the technician begins typing, Mitchell1 ProDemand™ generates a list of components to choose from. The repair module includes procedures, specifications, locations and diagrams relevant to the component or phrase that the technician is searching for.

U

Smarter Diagnostics

Technicians may navigate easily from repair procedures to TSBs to specifications to wiring diagrams. Mitchell 1 Prodemand™ brings all the information to the technician so they focus their attention on the vehicle and not searching for repair data. Mitchell1 ProDemand™ generates a filtered list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) before the technician finishes typing. Select the code and Mitchell1 ProDemand™ navigates directly to the relevant test procedures, components, wiring diagrams and specifications.

More Intuitive Maintenance

Mitchell1 ProDemand™ creates a list of required maintenance items based on mileage, indicator, timed and additional services. Technicians may also access the maintenance information as part of a lifetime services view in order to see the full task list. In Mitchell1 ProDemand™, fluid specifications and capacities are a click away, saving even more time. In addition, an intuitive automotive thesaurus prevents technicians from having to learn if the vehicle manufacturer called a component an “oxygen sensor,” “O2 sensor” or anything else the manufacturer may come up with today. Mitchell1 ProDemand™ intelligently cross references thousands of component names and allows techs to save time and work smarter.
