ALBANY, NY — Cengage Learning (formerly Thomson Learning), a provider of training and information materials, has released the Chilton 2008 Labor Guide Manuals and CD-ROM. These updated versions include hundreds of new labor operations such as maintenance services and electronic system diagnosis.
Available in CD-ROM format (1-44283-2041-5, $199.95) or as a Domestic and Import Manual Set (1-4283-2035-0, $199.95), the Chilton 2008 Labor Guide covers cars, trucks, vans and SUVs for model years 1981-current year.
The Chilton 2008 Labor Guides include labor times for Standard, Severe and OEM warranty situations. Accepted by most insurance and extended warranty companies, Chilton labor times consider the real-world environment in which technicians work. Vehicle makes and models conform to current Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association standards, making the Chilton Labor Guide up-to-date with today’s repair industry standards. Each OEM is arranged alphabetically by section for easy reference.
The Chilton 2008 Labor Guide CD-ROM automatically calculates labor charges, taxes and additional parts accounting for total job estimates. Professional estimates for customers and worksheets for technicians can be created and printed at any time. The Chilton Labor Guide CD-ROM also keeps track of prior customers and estimates, and allows users to enter time and rates for their own parts or service packages.
The Chilton 2008 Labor Guide Manual Set is split into two volumes: domestic and imported vehicles. Users will find referencing easier with tabs displaying contents by manufacturer and model, two indexes — labor operations and systems — in each model group, and page numbering that includes the manufacturer code.
