Flat rate system in auto repair undermines quality and fair compensation because adjusters and systems use public shortcuts to reduce labor times, making it hard for technicians to earn a fair wage and perform thorough work.

Existing flat rate systems and adjuster practices exploit public shortcut information to minimize labor times, failing to compensate technicians for thorough, high-quality work and forcing them to cut corners to make a living.
