STRAIGHT TIME OPERATION :
A straight time operation, whether it is for diagnosis, repair(s), or some other strange circumstance, are labor rates that are subject to change. These changes are determined due to the time and materials required to complete the job at hand. All labor charges are based on the actual time the technician has spent working on your vehicle/unit.
All tire damage is considered a straight time operation.
