Behind the scenes, a team of former technicians, editors, and engineers are constantly updating our terminology and metadata associated to search results to further optimize information lookups.<\/p>\n<p>Information is returned in a card format according to a diagnostic workflow. The information returned helps you to build a diagnostic strategy, gives you testing information to perform diagnostics work, and provides repair information to replace defective components, all in one lookup.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchell1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Module-1SearchPlus-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52281 \" src=\"https:\/\/mitchell1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Module-1SearchPlus-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"611\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Estimate Guide Module<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This module provides information needed to complete an estimate including labor times, part prices, and fluid types and capacities. Mitchell 1 creates our own labor times, and in fact when Glenn Mitchell founded the company, the first product was a labor time guide. OEM part pricing matches OEM part pricing that you would find at a dealership. Fluid types and capacities come straight from the owner\u2019s manuals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchell1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Module-EstimatingGuide-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52284 \" src=\"https:\/\/mitchell1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Module-EstimatingGuide-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"336\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quotes Module<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Quotes module works closely with the Estimate Guide module to build an estimate.

This includes mileage, time, interval and conditional maintenance services. Select the maintenance items needed for the task, then print to the technician worksheet for a checklist of all maintenance items. Mileage intervals have been extended in most cases to 300,000 miles to account for realistic driving patterns.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchell1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Module-Maintenance-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52290 \" src=\"https:\/\/mitchell1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Module-Maintenance-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"381\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>SureTrack Community Module<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you need help with a difficult to diagnose code or symptom?
