The company is headquartered in Poway, California, and its ownership is currently held by Snap-on Tools, Inc. (85%) and NAPA (15%).

Mitchell 1 and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence are sponsors of the ASE Technician of the Year award. In August 2009, the North American Council of Automotive Teachers (NACAT) recognized Mitchell 1 with the 2009 Friends of NACAT Award.
