Labor-Time Estimating Simplifies the Shop
Mitchell 1 says its new TruckLabor is the first comprehensive labor-time estimating product for medium and heavy trucks. For the first time, it adds, truck repair professionals have access to mechanical labor times from a single source.
With TruckLabor’s Standard Repair Times (SRTs), technicians, service writers and shop management have instant access to the information they need to determine how long a repair will likely take for any medium- or heavy-duty truck — meaning class 4 through 8. With this knowledge, they can accurately determine when the vehicle can be back on the road and how to best manage shop workflow to optimize available capacity.
It’s a cloud-based system, so labor-time data is automatically updated and the shop’s latest estimates are auto-saved for quick retrieval. Technicians always have access to the most current information available, knowing their estimates are accurate and secure. “Intuitive” navigation guides the user through the steps to quickly generate an estimate: identify the vehicle by selecting a year/make/model, choose the labor operations and add parts if applicable, then print the estimate.
Key features also include: coverage of all makes and models of Class 4-8 trucks; the estimator tool allows customization of labor rates for different customer types or service operations; and saved estimates automatically organized in one location.
