Expanded OEM Info Helps Shops Explore Related Service Opportunities
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Nov. 10, 2026 – Mitchell 1 introduces ProDemand+, a powerful add-on to industry-leading ProDemand® software that brings OEM mechanical and collision repair information together in one platform to help shops navigate today’s increasingly complex vehicle systems.
ProDemand+ adds OEM procedures and specifications covering body and structural repairs, materials, adhesives, and paint and refinishing to ProDemand’s comprehensive mechanical diagnostic, repair and maintenance resources.
“Today’s vehicles are more interconnected than ever, and the line between mechanical and body-related repairs continues to blur,” said Cami Hermann, marketing director for Mitchell 1. “ProDemand+ helps mechanical and collision repair shops identify related repair requirements upfront, confidently tackle more complex repairs, and reduce costly rework. This creates opportunities to improve efficiency, expand services and get customers’ vehicles back on the road faster.”
For mechanical repair shops, ProDemand+ supports body-related work they routinely encounter, such as replacing bumpers, mirrors, sensors and other body-mounted components. These repairs often involve advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that require precise sensor positioning and calibration. Technicians can research OEM procedures, assess job complexity, and determine which repairs their shops have the equipment, training and expertise to handle in-house.
For collision repair shops, ProDemand+ provides mechanical repair information to help technicians look beyond visible body damage and develop more complete repair plans. For example, replacing a damaged bumper may require researching electrical connections, mounting specifications, ADAS sensor locations and calibration procedures. Having this information alongside OEM body repair procedures helps technicians address related vehicle systems without switching between separate platforms.
