Why use two sources to check mechanical labor times and parts pricing and availability? ACDelco's WISE Internet Parts (WIP) now offers users the ability to do both in one application, at no additional charge.
WIP, ACDelco's Web-based parts catalog application, provides fast parts inventory access and comprehensive parts ordering. ACDelco WIP subscribers can check inventory and order parts online anytime from WISE-enabled ACDelco Warehouse Distributors. Now, labor times also are only one click away. Using the labor time feature will help subscribing service centers to quickly create parts and labor estimates. This new feature does not apply to TurboPart WIP users.
To display labor times, users will identify and search for parts as they have in WIP previously. Build the vehicle for which the parts are needed by selecting the year, make, model and engine, or enter the VIN. Next, select the parts group and subgroup.
Once users have identified the vehicle and parts they are interested in, click on the Display Parts & Labor button or the Display Labor Only button (Fig. 6). Labor times for the selected parts will be displayed below the parts information. (Fig. 7)

The labor multiplier value used to calculate the labor times also can be changed. Click the Edit Labor Multiplier button to increase or decrease the multiplier.
The addition of listing labor times in WIP is just one of many benefits. WIP also provides:
· The ability to place parts orders anytime 24/7 with local warehouse distributors
· A direct link to local warehouse distributors using your PC and Internet connection, no additional hardware or software is required
· Access to the inventory of local warehouse distributors to check parts pricing and availability
