Is there a database online for the number of shop hours a car repair should take?
I was told that there is a manual auto repair shops look up to find the
number of shop hours they charge for a job. To be fair, I'm told they all charge that many hours even if it doesn't take that many hours. For example if three jobs are done, and even if they associate with each other, they just add up the shop hours and then charge by the $200/hour that the local shops all seem to charge for their shop rate. Where can we car owners get that manual online? |

(you might find them online too) Some auto parts stores sell them. If they don't have what you want ask them if they can/will order it for you. I have done that before at an O'Reilly's auto parts store. Haynes and Chilton manuals for my 1983 Dodge van. |

You can probably find it at your local library if you have a good public library with a good set of Chilton's. If you ask nicely, your mechanic might let you look at it. >To be fair, I'm told they all charge that many hours even if it doesn't >take that many hours. Not everybody does. Some do. And then there is that car with the rust problem where every job takes twice as long as the book says. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
