Owner

This the worst customer service i have ever seen in years. This company is fraud and be aware of sales people.

Risk Analyst 

I enjoy the ease of use Alldata has compared to other repair programs. I also enjoy that Alldata gives you OEM part numbers on the same page as it shows you labor times for that part.

owner

Some of the exploded diagram pictures are blurry or hard to understand. Not all information is avaliable on every part of a vehicle.

Field Operation Lead

We can quickly get information needed to complete repairs on most vehicles. The level of detail given to help our mechanics complete repairs is impressive.

Bookkeeper

Failure to return phones calls in a timely matter or not at all. Be sure to consider negotiating you monthly charges.

Service Department Dispatcher Shop Foreman

It helps with a busy shop to improve productivity and efficiency.

Consultant

It was very easy to implement and their customer support team is incredibly helpful.

When i questioned them prior to purchasing this product they said it will be available shortly.seven months later still no upgrade.

Office Manager

The feature I like most is that its easy to use when finding repair hours for a vehicle by entering the VIN. You just key in the part and it pulls everything you need to know.

This is software for Auto Repair shops. I love the fact you can look up step by step instructions on how to do a repair.

We've had problems with system updates and accessing the latest vehicle information.

If I ever have difficulty or questions I call and they are so professional and help me right away.

Helps to streamline our workflow and as you know, time is money.

Alldata user friendly, intuitive and uncompliacted.

I've used Alldata for the last 15 years. The software is easy to learn and use and provides valuable information necessary to our business.

Ease of use:  Was ok but did not offer any confirmed fixes to issues we were trying fix. Customer service:  Overpriced and ridiculous.

Manager

This format is confusing and hard to read. The font for the final dollar amount is so small it seems slightly deceptive.

Human Resources Supervisor

The database of vehicles and parts list from the dealers is comprehensive and my go to guide for parts pricing. I am able to customize my software to best fit my company's needs.

The folks in accounting at Mitchell1 can't even figure out how to run a credit card without calling our shop and being very rude and unprofessional.

General Manager

Customer tracking was great, recommended work/revisions are easy to track.

Mitchell has been there for me every step of the way and I have been able to build and maintain a solid database of loyal customers.

secretary

User friendly, quality features, and friendly customer service when needed. We also use the bolt on package along with it.

Now they call me every few days from an attorneys office threatening to sue for the full 3 year contract. I never should have agreed to sign up with the salesmen but I did to give it a try.

Service Manager

Good part finder and labor times, good to have the recall info on the main screen.

manager

Fairly easy to use and navigate, diagnostics is pretty good. Middle ground between alldata and identifix.

We went away from this product to a cloud based product so that we could be more mobile. That  was the missing element.

I love the integration with Snap On diagnostics software, color coded wiring diagrams and factory information.

Mitchelle manager the best choice for the middle ground.

The product over all was easy to use and met our needs. It was easy to train employees on it and it upgraded the way we worked on the computers.

Office manager 

It could be hard to navigate and stay organized, much harder to navigate. Even now we have access to the history, but you can't look up by customer name.

Nowhere to put photos, or hide labor/parts cost to show quotes.

The software platform is always evolving and updating with new features. Best feature of all: Integration with the digital inspection platform Bolt On Technology.
