Does a list exist that gives an estimate for how many hours a service department should charge for typical repairs? For example, how long to do a front control arm or change a timing belt, that sort of thing. The dealers have to be going by some list in order to give us their price estimate, right? Even old information would be interesting to see (since most of us have older cars anyway ).

 

It comes from a standard labor time guide which may be incorporated into other estimating software they use.
