POWAY, Calif. — Mitchell 1 has released updates to its ProDemand auto repair information software to improve the user experience.
"The latest release of ProDemand includes some significant updates that have been requested by our users," said Gary Hixson, senior market manager for ProDemand, Mitchell 1. "The new look and feel of the search results, along with the additional content, will be especially helpful and save technicians time as they seek out information to repair vehicles more efficiently."
The 1Search results page has been simplified to show the "OEM Plus" results and the real-world SureTrack results side-by-side in two easy-to-view columns, the company said, noting it makes it easier to find the relevant repair information for a selected vehicle. After typing in a search term, users will have access to everything in the Mitchell 1 database relating to that search term for the selected vehicle, in an intuitive, user-friendly format, the company said.
The Mitchell 1 editorial team has added to the connector end view diagrams in ProDemand to include all vehicles covered from 2002 to present. In conjunction with wiring diagrams and test procedures, the connector end view diagrams help technicians to properly diagnose a component and identify the correct pin for the wire, the company said.
Additional updates include:
- Smarter results for older vehicles with non-SAE codes, giving auto repair technicians additional information and allowing them to select the correct code for their situation;
- The Common Repair Procedures Graph that comes up with every search in ProDemand has been updated to deliver a more granular view of when components are replaced based on the SureTrack database of real-world repair records; and
- Improved tracking of SureTrack Community member activity, such as asking questions, replying and answering questions.
