Source: Motor Age

Mitchell 1 has signed an Internet affiliate agreement between its Mitchell 1 DIY program (aka eAutoRepair.net) for automotive do-it-yourselfers and CARQUEST, a premier supplier of automotive replacement products, accessories, supplies and equipment. Under the terms of the agreement, CARQUEST will display the Mitchell 1 logo on its Web site with a direct link to the Mitchell1DIY.com Web site.

Mitchell 1 DIY provides professional instructions and illustrations that guide subscribing users through step-by-step mechanical repair procedures, complete maintenance information and service schedules, and the latest factory service tips, including recalls and 86,000 technical service bulletins (TSBs) with 197,000 supporting graphics. Mitchell 1 DIY gives instant access to over 169,000 repair articles and more than 3.9 million supporting graphics in the database, and the ability to print the very latest in auto repair.

The Internet-based service covers all domestic and most import cars, light trucks, vans, mini vans and SUVs, with more than 13,000 vehicles in the database for model years 1983-2008. Vintage models are available via DVD.

“The new agreement between the Mitchell1DIY.com database and CARQUEST is mutually beneficial for both Web sites as it will help draw additional traffic to each site, as well as provide brand recognition for the car-savvy, do-it-yourself repair devotee,” says Dave Rady, senior account manager, business development, Mitchell 1.

Yeah great, being one that has dedicated my career to this industry and has given back to it so much, I am completely offended that the 3rd party information service providers like Mitchell and AllData have decided to whore themselves out like this. This is a kick in the face to anyone who is a true automotive service industry professional!

Hello: Ok, for twelve bucks I can use the mitchell 1 database on any one vehicle. How long does that subscription last? A month? Doesn't really say on the web page, just 11.99 fee. Lets see, I use my Mitchell 1 on an average of five vehicles a week and that translates to about $240 a month. Not too bad, I wonder if Mitchell 1 is going to give us smaller shops an ala Carte option instead of the flat rate? norm
