All our Ins. co. here quit giving feather edge & prime time , block time , cut and buff time Or mix time for my mixing bank , it doesnt matter if the panel has 6-7 hours of body work on it all I get is straight refinish time , which is a crock !!!

7-9 years ago flat rate was $25.00 a labor hour , I was making $11.75 of it and was making 80-100K a year , now we are at $42.00 a labor hour , and am making $20.00 a labor paint hour & cant sniff 50K , as the Insurance Companies have flat ruined the Business !!

I have been told by several Insurance Co. estimators that I was making way to much money , since when is it their decision to say I make way to much money ??

All I have to say is the Insurance Companies have set the Auto Industry back to the road of shoddy workmanship , beings they have gotten stingy .
