StateFarm announced in an email May 7 to its Select Service collision repair centers in Ohio that it will begin testing the use of the Mitchell estimating platform for writing estimates and sourcing parts within the Select Service program. The test, beginning soon, will be limited to a portion of Select Service repairers in Ohio.
In July 2017, Mitchell announced the major upgrade from UltraMate to Estimating Cloud that would allow cloud-based estimating across multiple devices and permit a user to have more than one estimate open at once.
As with CCC, the labor notes do not appear on the printed estimate. You must pay close attention to these notes during the preparation of the estimate. If the estimate has been generated by another person, you may need to have the generator of the estimate pull up those labor notes and share them with you. Labor notes that you are unaware of or that you choose to ignore, may result in inaccurate estimates that fail to capture all labor operations associated with the repair. As with all three estimating systems, the Mitchell estimating system relies heavily on P-pages for the preparation of complete and accurate estimates.
The Mitchell P-pages can be accessed within the estimating program via the button by the graphic. They can also be accessed online within the Mitchell website, or you can click here for the direct link to the Mitchell Collision Estimating Guide or Replacement Assemblies Estimating and Reference Guide.
