IssueSummary//In our opinion the current database labor allowance for sectioning of the rocker, center pillar and uniside is insufficient. The current sectioning time in Audatex pays the same labor to install the left rocker by itself or to install a complete section of Lt Rocker Panel, Lt Center Pillar and Lt Uniside. (10.2)

ProcedureSteps//R&I Lt Fender, R&I Lt Front Door, R&I Lt Rear Door, removal of old center pillar, Lt Rocker and front section of lt rear uniside. installation of centerpillar, lt rocker and section of Lt uniside.

SuggestedAction//Please review and increase labor allowance for this sectioning procedure to a minimum of 20.6 as it is a accurate reflection of the time required to complete this operation.

Resolution:
The repair operation being done in the provided estimate is not support in the Audatex database.

The SECT,CTR PLR & RCKR PNL operation is to replace this part as a complete assembly.

The operation being done according to the estimate is to replace the outer skin only using thesalvage part as a donor part. The separation of the outer skin from the salvage part is not accounted for in the Audatex labor time. The seperation time would need to be negotiated between the involved parties. No changes warranted at this time.
