Automotive RepairCompensation Management4HighMechanic$ implied

Flat-rate labor times are too low for complex jobs like radiator replacement that require disassembling multiple components, and shops often do not compensate for the extra work.

Existing flat-rate labor guides do not account for the additional time needed to remove components like grills, bumpers, and shutters before accessing the radiator, and shop management systems lack the ability to add custom labor time for these steps.
