Mitchell on Demand

Can't Mitchell help you out? If you called them and requested some boot floppies, wouldn't they send them at a small charge if any? Seems like the least they could do for a paying customer!

Aaahhh, but what we have here is not a paying customer. I'd guess if his job really does depend on Mitchell he better call them up and get ready to part with some major dollars. Bob

What does it sell for? I have it as convenience to work on my own cars, its not worth more than $20 to me.

it's subscriber web based now. and not worth the money. get alldata. i recall the old mitchell needed a dongle also. Chip

A one year lease is appx. $2800.00

How many different vehicles do you work on in a given day?

Perhaps it is. It is also available on CD or DVD.

Each has it's strong points and weak points.

Not needed now, hasn't been needed in at least the last ten years.

The boot discs are -one time use- only, to prevent non paying people from using the information.

I am sure there is some way around that. If the right person gets a hold of it...

There is a way around it, Im the right person

None. I own a vehicle I work on every few months. My family has a few more that use it a couple times a year (if that).

I'm not a computer whiz or anything but it seems impossible to copy that boot disc. I do subscribe to Mitchell but it would sure be nice to be able to run it on my other computer. Bob

You have to have the right boot discs....which I do.

I have an older version from when I worked as a Mitchell tech support rep. I made a copy of the bootdisk using a program called Tele-Disk. When the bootdisk is used, it is written to so as to make it uninstallable again. I only used the copies for installing, and kept the originals for making new copies. And NO, I will not give them to anyone.........

Well why not.....some body needs to get with the sharing idea and start spreading the love....Mitchells is way overpriced... Too bad mechanics are not like the gamers and movie sharers..you can get anything from them.

You are right, it's hard to come by any of this stuff. I found a 13 cd set a few years back, but of course it's rapidly going out of date. It's useful for older vehicles. Whoever released it was kind enough to crack the install discs, so you can re-install it whenever you want.

Recently, I found a Mitchell labor time guide...it's quite good. You have to do some searching around, and of course, this stuff goes out of date quickly as far as bulletins and stuff like that.

Hey Ian I tried to email you and it bounced. You can get me at snipped-for-privacy@charter.net if you would. Just take out the crap. Thanks. Bob

Get an individual vehicle AllData subscription. It charges like $20 - something per car.
