Labor Estimating

The ChiltonLibrary Estimator Tool allows patrons to answer the following questions related to vehicles from 1981 to current models:

• How long will the repair take?
• What will the repair cost? (Multiply labor time by the hourly labor rate)
• How do I better understand the professional estimate for my vehicle repairs
• How much time would it take to do related repairs together? (Combined time)

Chilton provides one of the most trusted Labor Estimator Tools on the market. Because all labor times are not the same, Chilton’s professional technicians draw upon their experience and access to technical information to calculate times that take into consideration skill level, tools, and variables such as the age and condition of the vehicle.

There are three times calculated in the Labor Estimator Tool:

Chilton labor times include three components: the manufacturer warranty time (OEM), the regular time, and the severe service time. Warranty times are often based on time studies and are the length of time the carmaker says it should take a trained dealer technician using dealer tools to perform a job. This is the labor time the carmaker will use to reimburse the dealer for warranty work. Chilton “Regular” labor times, work from the manufacturer warranty time, while drawing on professional experience and other factors to calculate the time it would take a technician in an independent shop to perform the same procedure. Chilton pioneered the use of “Severe” service times, which are for conditions where wear, age, rust, dirt, etc. make service more difficult and so more time is needed to complete the job.
