Well, the counter says "labor hours" and in the automotive repair industry that is simply a calculation on how long it *should* take, not how long it actually takes. That's how bodymen and car painters make money. My dad owns a body shop and his employees get paid by labor hours. The insurance company says it takes 8 labor hours to paint a car. One of my dad's employees gets it done in 4 hours and he gets paid for 8. So the labor hours aren't necessarily the actual time it took to do the job.
