My comments,
guess who pays for some of the warranty labour?
Some manufacturers down load some of the labour repair times onto the dealers,
who then, in turn, expect the mechanics/auto body repair crew, to absorb the
cost.
Sometimes the allowed repair times are simply cut in half, so the crew is
expected to work for less.
My 2 cents.
