Estimating – The Estimate Rates Tab

Use the Estimates Rates tab in RepairCenter to synchronize Mitchell Estimating configuration settings (Profiles, Long Expansions, Paint Tables, Hazardous Waste Table) with RepairCenter.

Shops with multiple RepairCenter workstations can share the configuration settings to ensure that all estimates are written using the same rates.

Note: You must be licensed for the Estimating module.
