Anyone know where to look for a guide to how the repair places determine the number of hours for a given repair?

CoolToy, I found the ones you posted, previously. But I did not find a link or guide to the hours allotted. The estimated cost of the repair yes, but not the number of hours. Did I miss something?

No you did not.

I could not find the hours either, but was not sure if you saw the other ones, or if they would be any use to you.

ALLDATAdiy.com Leading Source of Factory Automotive Repair Information

It appears to be a subscription site, so I don't know how useful it will actually be.

$16.95 1 vehicle, 1 year

$29.95 1 vehicle, 5 years

Most use either Alldata or Motors, both of which are subscription based services for shops. My post above this one has the link to the DIY side.

Hope this helps.

Probably as good as it gets. Thanks
