Real-Time Labor Guide®

When the original Real-Time Labor Guide® was first released in 1994, we revolutionized the industry…and with Real-Time Labor Guide Online we did it again.

We help you earn more by:

GIVING YOU OPTIONS by letting you choose from a range of labor times.
SAVING YOU MONEY with the low cost of our exclusive service.

Real-Time Labor Guide is created by Real-World mechanics!

Our focus is on the Auto Repair Industry. That’s who we work for and who we build services for. We have always thought of ourselves as an important tool that every mechanic needs but shouldn’t have to strain to pay for. We know that the cost of some shop tools can rival the cost of some medical equipment. We know the cost of certifications – both in dollars and time. We know that our economy keeps rolling only because of the time and money that you invested in your choice of profession. We are here for you – we want to make sure that you don’t lose money because your labor guide just doesn’t work in the real world.

That’s why the Real-Time Labor Guide take into account factors like:

Condition of the vehicle
Experience of the mechanic
Availability of specialty tools
Testing time
