Mitchell's Connect™ now integrates seamlessly with OEM procedures

The US technology provider has announced a new, seamless integration between its Mitchell Diagnostics™ scanning system and the OEM repair procedures in Mitchell's TechAdvisor™ database. Technicians using Mitchell's scan tools can link directly from the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) on a scan report to the corresponding OEM repair procedures.

This enhanced level of integration gives collision repairers the OEM repair procedures when a given DTC appears, saving them time and providing easy access to information to help facilitate a proper and safe repair.

Mitchell has simplified the repair workflow dramatically and delivered a best-in-class solution for vehicle diagnostics

"Prior to this integration, upon completion of the pre-scan, technicians and repair planners often spent hours researching OEM repair information to develop the repair blueprint," said Jack Rozint, Vice President, Repair Sales, Auto Physical Damage, Mitchell. "By systematically linking DTCs to OEM repair information in the cloud, Mitchell has simplified the repair workflow dramatically and delivered a best-in-class solution for vehicle diagnostics."

Designed specifically for the collision repair and automotive claims process, Mitchell Diagnostics combines appraisal and repair workflow applications with Bosch's state-of-the-art aftermarket scan tools. This allows collision repairers to quickly and cost-effectively perform in-house scanning, diagnostic repairs and recalibrations for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). With Mitchell's TechAdvisor system, repairers have access to a comprehensive database of OEM repair information and procedures that span 30 years.
