SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - May 26, 2010) - Mitchell International, Inc., a leading provider of information, workflow and performance management solutions to the Property & Casualty claims and Collision Repair industries, today announced that True2Form Collision Repair Centers, one of the largest collision repair companies in the eastern United States, has selected RepairCenter™ TechAdvisor for use across its entire network. Using TechAdvisor as a fully integrated component of the Mitchell RepairCenter now enables True2Form to efficiently access accurate new vehicle repair data from a single integrated solution, improving vehicle repair workflow and shop profitability.
"True2Form was looking for the best solution in the market for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) repair reference data. We selected RepairCenter TechAdvisor because of its comprehensive coverage of model-specific structural repair procedures needed to properly repair today's complex vehicles," said Mike Schaffer, True2Form's Vice President of Operations.
Schaffer added, "True2Form especially values RepairCenter's scalability and its ability to provide right-sized functionality to fit our future needs. The integration of TechAdvisor in RepairCenter saves time, helps ensure accuracy, and is more convenient than working with separate systems. With the help of RepairCenter TechAdvisor, we can further our commitment to best-practices when it comes to performing quality and safe repairs, and increase customer confidence by demonstrating strict compliance with OEM repair guidelines."
With each model year, vehicle manufacturers offer more sophisticated electronic systems that improve vehicle safety, drivetrain, and infotainment systems, as well as enhanced vehicle designs that promise greater structural strength at reduced vehicle weight. These technological advancements are making the vehicles more complex and difficult to repair and put added pressure on repairers to keep up with OEM repair know-how.
"Mitchell shares True2Form's commitment to utilize best practices to safely, effectively, and efficiently repair increasingly complex vehicles," said Jason Bertellotti Vice President of Repair Solutions for Mitchell International. "True2Form's choice of RepairCenter validates Mitchell's commitment to develop a single Workspace that helps shops manage the repair, the customer, and the business in a robust scalable solution able to grow with our shop partners while meeting the industry's changing repair standards."
