  SAN DIEGO, CA, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
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 its collision parts
and labor reference database is now available online. Accessible through
the new "Online Parts and Labor Lookup" module, the database is now an
integral feature of the Mitchell Information Center(TM) and leverages its
built-in VIN decode and search functionality.

    Mitchell Information Center (www.mitchellinformationcenter.com) is a
user-friendly, searchable database of historical vehicle repair reference
data that spans up to 30 years and leverages Mitchell's 63 years of
collision industry expertise. The portal provides access to critical
repair information that helps collision repair facilities to efficiently
and profitably restore vehicles to pre-accident conditions in a safe and
timely manner.

    With the addition of the Online Parts and Labor Lookup module, Mitchell is
the only information provider offering customers the choice of three
mediums -- print, CD, and online -- to access the collision parts and
labor reference information they need to return vehicles to pre-accident
condition.

    "Collision repairers and insurers have trusted the Mitchell Parts and
Labor Database for decades as an impartial source for quality collision
estimating information, and we're excited to now offer it online within
the Mitchell Information Center," said Peter Lovasz, Director of Product
Management for Mitchell International.

    "Online Parts and Labor Lookup will provide our customers with more
flexibility in accessing Mitchell's industry leading collision repair and
reference data and a compelling add-on to complement the print
publications, which will still be offered," he added.

    Accessing the collision parts and labor reference database online allows
users to benefit from value-added features of the Mitchell Information
Center, such as timely updates that include new models each month and
daily price updates that help ensure that the most current parts and labor
information available are provided. All of the information -- whether
print or online -- is provided in a user-friendly format that makes
articles easy to read with bold type, large print, simple navigation,
enlarged graphics, enhanced procedure pages, and more. Mitchell's
in-house editorial staff of I-Car certified and ASE Master Techs assemble
the information to provide users with one of the most complete online
data sources in the industry.

    "Mitchell's Parts and Labor Database is the backbone of our best-in-class
estimating solution UltraMate(R), and we're proud to now offer this
information online," said Marc Brungger, Executive Vice President of Auto
Physical Damage, Mitchell International. "Making this information
available online reinforces Mitchell's status as the leading content
provider and its commitment to provide the industry with technologically
advanced value-added solutions."
