Shop system plus data, or one vendor for both
Shopmonkey sells the shop system and plugs in outside labor data. Mitchell 1 sells the data, diagnostics and wiring diagrams, and its own shop system beside it. Shopmonkey publishes a comparison page against Mitchell 1 on its own site, which is worth reading as one vendor's view.
For truck work, ask Shopmonkey what the Heavy Duty add-on costs for your unit mix, and ask Mitchell 1 for a written price on TruckSeries plus Manager SE Truck Edition.
