How to Create and Install MAS Hard Drives.zip

How to Create and Install MAS Hard Drives.zip This is a Adobe Document explaining how to install a second hard drive to a computer to copy the MAS DVD's to it.

Labor Times Motor vs Chilton.zip Labor Times Motor vs Chilton.zip This zipped file contains an Adobe Acrobat file showing Labor Time comparisons between the "Chilton 2004" Labor Guide vs the Mitchell. The comparison was done with the electronic versions of both not the print. The comparison uses the same format as my other comparisons using 7 vehicles and the same 9 repair procedures. The comparison is pretty telling. Motor offers and average of 2.9 Hours more for these operations. That is $144 average difference. Wow. Can shops afford to buy the cheap "make believe" labor guide?

I will be making some more comparisons in the near future on other aspects of this "deceptive" competitor.

This file now includes an Excel version you can edit.
