WRITE TO THE SHOP DESK

The BaySlip editor reads every message. The most useful ones come from people who write repair orders for a living — when a figure here is off for your market, say which page, which job, and what the counter actually charges.

• Shop software, parts and tool vendors: a feature, plan or figure on one of our comparisons that has changed, or a product we have not covered yet.
• A labor rate, book time or job cost on one of our guides that does not match what you see on your own repair orders.
• A question about an estimator, checklist or shop form — a number that will not add up, or a field your shop needs.
• Partnerships and working with us on shop paperwork and cost data.
