  SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Mitchell International, a leading provider of information, workflow, and
performance management solutions to the automotive insurance claims and
collision repair industries, today announced the release of its Next Generation
Collision Estimating and Reference Guides. The Guides now contain valuable
Paint and Materials and Air Bag information for new model vehicles, providing
technicians and estimators with a comprehensive supplement or stand-alone
reference that gives them the tools and information they need for a more
efficient repair process.

    One of the valuable new resources included in the Guides is the Air Bag
Quick
Reference information. This information will help technicians and estimators
quickly access critical airbag procedures like disabling, activating, and system
operation check instructions, which helps shops work safely on new model
vehicles.

    Similarly, The Quick Reference Paint and Materials information refines
shoprepair processes by improving the workflow for new vehicle refinish
estimates,
even if the shop is not using an electronic estimating system. Along with
increased workflow efficiency, access to this information in the Guide will
help to minimize costly and time-wasting supplements.

    "Our goal at Mitchell is to constantly improve the products and services
that we
provide to the collision repair industry," said Peter Lovasz, Product Manager at
Mitchell International. "We're extremely proud of the fact that that Mitchell
continues to be the solution provider of choice for print Collision
Estimating Guides -- both as a primary estimating tool and as a companion to
complement our electronic estimating software."
