[QUOTE=red-beard;5107702]Javadog, how long would it take your technicians to do a timing belt?[QUOTE]
You know, its been too long for me to remember. The guys could always beat the flat rate from a Chilton, or similar flat rate manual. Not always by a lot, it depended on the job. The Honda flat rate was what they paid for warranty work and it was considerably less than the other manuals. They had a very hard time equalling that, especially for jobs they only did a few times. After 8 or 10 trys, they could get down to Honda's times. Honda was cheap. I wouldn't work for the flate rate they paid.
One other thing to think about, there's at least 15 minutes used up for a technician to be assigned a job, go get the car, get it on a lift, get the parts needed, test drive the car, return it to the lot, complete the paperwork, etc.
It's not an easy living.
