Setting up work orders and estimates in Mitchell 1
Accurate estimates that convert to work orders are the core of a profitable shop, and [Mitchell 1](https://saaskart.co/software/mitchell-1) centers on them. Build estimates with correct parts, labor and hours using OEM repair information and estimating, and present them clearly so customers approve confidently. Mitchell 1 converts approved estimates to work orders without re-keying. Use canned jobs for common services to speed write-up and keep pricing consistent. Capture authorization before work begins to avoid disputes. Track estimate-to-approval rates to see how well your service advisors sell needed work. A tight estimate and work-order flow in Mitchell 1 reduces comebacks and missed charges, and it makes the whole shop run on a clear, shared picture of what each vehicle needs.
