I've recently upgraded to Mitchell from Activant (Epicor) Service Writer. What I've noticed is that when you are trying to quote a job for scheduled maintenance, I am able to easily see the amount of labor that is quoted for the job, however, the inspection items and replacement items are left off the invoice. I find this terribly frustrating as I need to be able to justify to my customer WHY the 105,000 mile service for their 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5L costs $900 but I can't tell him which components are being replaced at that time.
I purchased this program with the thought (and reassurance) that it would make my life easier, however, it appears that I have to do a whole bunch of other work in order to quote jobs accurately.
Please resolve this!
Thank you,
Sherman Riddick

Re: Add Parts List To Maintenance Schedules
I can't compare to other programs since I've been using Mitchell long enough that I don't really remember. Having said that, when I want to quote on a mileage maintenance schedule I open the 30/60/90 option and click on the mileage. Transfer all the information to the order and check my vendors for the best price / quality.
never argue with a fool, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
