Subject:August, 1999 Labor Time Guide Updates

Models:1994-2000 Passenger Cars and Trucks



This bulletin addresses changes to the published General Motors Labor Time Guides. These changes (new or revised) are the result of new time studies and/or dealer "Requests For Review" being handled by the GM Service Operations Group. They are effective upon receipt. All changes will appear in the next printing of the Labor Time Guide.

Important: Please retain any changes made to the A, B, D and L Car Labor Time Guides as these vehicles have been discontinued since 1997 and the Labor Time Guides will not be republished. Changes to the P/H Truck Chassis should also be retained. The vehicle was discontinued in December, 1998. Please note: Labor Time Guides for these discontinued vehicles will not be republished.
