Resolution

Estimated Release Date: Closed
Proposed Resolution: MOTOR stated:
After review, according to the MOTOR Guide To Estimating, Reported times include one test fit of a component and normal adjustment procedures within the range of motion permitted by the fastener(s) or component to ensure proper fit of the individual new part being replaced.

Second or subsequent fitment of a component to the vehicle, for any reason (including verification of dimensional accuracy or adjacent part alignment). This is not included in the estimated work time applied to the Bumper.

Please note: The procedure that is being referred to would not be included as the Bumper would be removed for a second time to perform the operation. MOTOR estimated work times are to remove and install and align one time only. An on-the-spot evaluation would need to be performed and agreed upon by both estimators to perform the additional aligning.
