Included and/or Not Included Labor Operations

INCLUDED OPERATIONS:

When items or operations appear in the Guide To Estimating Pages under the "Included" heading it means that the operation is performed in conjunction with another operation. For example, Steering Wheel R&I is an individual operation, but when replacing a steering column, steering wheel R&I is also performed and therefore included in Steering Column R&R.

If an item is listed without a qualifier, it means all labor has been considered within the indicated repair procedure. If a specific qualifier (such as R&I) appears, it means only the specified qualifier applies.

NOT INCLUDED OPERATIONS:

Items or operations listed under "Does Not Include" were not considered in the development of published estimated work times. These operations may, or may not, be required depending upon the vehicle or repair process used. If any of these items or operations are required, they should be considered by the estimator. If a specific qualifier (such as R&I) appears, it means only the specified qualifier applies.
