POWAY, Calif. — Mitchell 1 has added school buses to its trouble code repair information product, Repair-Connect.net, providing access to complete engine diagnostic repair information for all of the most common school bus types, company officials said.
By entering a VIN number or year/make/model, Repair-Connect will return all the information necessary to help technicians repair the vehicle quickly and accurately, including full-color scalable wiring diagrams, electrical component locator, and detailed component test procedures, according to the company. Repair-Connect is designed to anticipate the detailed information required to fix the vehicle based on the diagnostic trouble code and retrieves it in seconds. Service times are shortened as no additional lookup of repair information is required to complete the service correctly, company officials said.
“We’re delighted to offer engine diagnostic information for the school bus sector of our industry, expanding the extensive data already available in Repair-Connect.net for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles,” said Scott DeGiorgio, general manager of Mitchell 1’s commercial vehicle group. “For the first time, school bus technicians have access to engine codes and repair information to help them work more efficiently.”
