Verified labour times. Smarter inspections.
MOTOR-sourced labour data, with an AI inspection assistant on top — built into AutoSoftWay’s full repair-shop platform.
Year / Make / Model
Engine & transmission optional — more detail = better accuracy
Group 1 · Brake Service
The Labour Guide modal — vehicle-specific labour times sourced from MOTOR Information Systems, with an AI inspection assistant and one-click service grouping.
Verified data — not AI-generated guesses
Most platforms ship “AI labour times” that are quietly guessed by a language model. AutoSoftWay’s labour times come from MOTOR Information Systems — the industry-standard repair database used by major dealer groups, manufacturers, and insurance estimators.
Industry-standard repair data
Every labour time you see in AutoSoftWay is sourced directly from MOTOR Information Systems — the same data trusted across the industry for decades.
- Verified hours for millions of operations across every make & model
- Updated continuously with new vehicles, recalls and procedures
- OEM-grade job descriptions on every line item
- Defendable in front of any customer — it’s the standard
- Clearly labelled “NOT AI GENERATED” — right inside the app
Times invented by a language model
Many newer platforms quietly use AI to guess labour times — with no source, no verification, and no guarantee the number matches what the job actually takes.
- No verified source — the number is generated, not looked up
- Can change wildly for the same job between sessions
- No defence when a customer challenges your quote
- Inconsistent across vehicles, vintages and operations
- Looks modern — until you have to back up your number
Pick the vehicle, get the right hours
Year, make, and model is enough to get started. Add engine and transmission for even tighter accuracy — the more you tell the Labour Guide, the more precise the times.
“What else should I inspect?”
One tap and AutoSoftWay’s AI looks at the vehicle, the symptom, and what’s been quoted so far — and surfaces related operations you might have missed.
It’s a second opinion built into the Labour Guide — smart suggestions on top of the MOTOR data, never replacing it.
Build the job the way you sell it
Group multiple operations into a single line item on the estimate — “Brake Service”, “A/C Repair”, “Full Inspection”. The customer sees one tidy charge; you still track every operation underneath.
