CallCactusJack.com Integrator User Guide FEATURED SHOP: GLENSHAW AUTO Glenshaw Auto Service 1400 Mt. Royal Blvd. Glenshaw PA March 9, 2008 Dear Mitchell, Glenshaw Auto Service started using the Mitchell Manager software in June of In the 10 years prior to June of 2006 we were using automotive software that was never updated in either features or programs, and their software support was terrible. After making the switch to Mitchell, the first thing that we noticed was the professional customer support. The in-shop set up to personalize the software and training made the transition easy. Jack's office was always available for everyday questions in learning the new software and is still just as available today. Also, the two day Mitchell Management Training Workshop was packed with useful information to help enhance the power of the software. Mitchell is constantly updating and improving the software to compliment current Mitchell customer needs and ideas. With high speed Internet access to Mitchell On Demand, you can find any repair information you may need for any particular vehicle in no time at all. From the in depth full color wiring diagrams to step by step diagnostic aids for troubleshooting check engine lights and emission repairs. With the Mitchell Forum you can either chat with fellow Mitchell users or research prior discussions in F.A.Q.'s in regards to a software question. There are many features of the Mitchell software that stand out. The creation of canned jobs and building parts kits make completing an estimate or repair order a breeze. This feature takes the guess work out of creating the order and is a great time saver, for you don't have to re-type the info into each new R.O. Another outstanding feature is the web link integration with part stores. You can check your part supplier's inventory, order the part, and place it on the R.O. in one easy step. The time savings is remarkable. We have also found that the reports are extremely useful in giving a clear picture of the business where the profits are highest and where adjustments need to be made. We also decided in Jan of 2007 to implement the Mitchell Integrator to Quick Books. Prior to this integration, we were manually imputing our daily information into separate accounting software. This feature has saved us unbelievably in time and accuracy of our financial statements. We are currently pursuing opening a second location. The use of the Mitchell software has helped with this decision because of the expandability of the program to allow for future growth such as C.R.M. and S.I.
