FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About MOTOR Labor Guides

Simply enter your shop’s hourly labor rate in AutoSoftWay. When you select a MOTOR labor operation, the system automatically multiplies the MOTOR-provided hours by your rate to generate the labor cost — no manual math required. The result is added directly to the estimate or work order.
