Mitchell Inventory Service

Asset FFE Equipment, Tools, Parts Inventory Annual and Buy/Sell, Appraiser and Consultants. Whether you are the buyer or the seller, a parts inventory and fixed operations equipment specialist is a resource essential to protect both parties. These are complicated transactions and often fixed assets and parts inventory investments are overlooked. These assets are often the dealer’s second highest cash at risk properties in the overall value of the operation. Our job at Mitchell’s is to let the buyer and seller know all parts, fixed assets, and tools that are physically present. We establish a fair market price on these assets and report them according to the terms of the acquisition or dissolution contract. We work with the manufacturer to maximize termination returns for both parties. Most of these transactions include assets that fall outside the parameters of the contract. We record and report these items and work with the buyer and seller to create the best options for cashing out of these investments. For training we focus on service personnel and how they affect the customer and the organization. We establish standards to hold Managers, Advisors, Techs and support personnel accountable for their individual positions. Our training easy and effective.
