Who should stay with Mitchell 1

  • You work from Mitchell 1's ProDemand repair information and want your shop system from the same company.
  • Your counter orders parts through a catalog inside the software.

If none of those describes your shop, the difference is what you pay for the rest, and whether a finished job is kept as a sealed record.

Moving across

Customers, vehicles and your past repairs import from CSV files on Shop and Group; photographs, open jobs and payments stay behind. Each past repair needs the customer's name and a date written one clear way, such as 2024-03-12, and you see a preview before anything is saved.
