Service advisors often quote incorrect labor times by omitting extra steps required for repairs, leading to disputes and inefficiencies in the auto repair industry.

Existing flat rate systems rely on service advisors to manually include all necessary labor steps, but they frequently miss steps like removing an A/C pump when changing an alternator, causing underquoting and conflicts.
