Mitchell 1 adds advanced search feature
A new Unit Number Search feature allows users to pull up vehicle-specific repair manuals using a fleet’s internal asset ID or unit number.

The Unit Number Search feature speeds access to repair information without requiring technicians to look up VINs or guess sub-models. Fleet customers provide Mitchell 1 with a mapping of asset tags to specific vehicles in their system. Technicians simply enter the asset tag into the search bar, and the platform automatically directs them to the correct service information. Automated synchronization between the fleet’s vehicles and TruckSeries ensures the information is always accurate.
