Faster than the computer across the shop.
That's not our marketing line — it's what working dealer techs tell us. The lookup that means walking to a shared terminal, logging into the OEM system, and clicking through menus is a ten-second search on the phone already in their pocket. Some of your techs are probably using us right now.
The lookup tax, in your numbers
We won't invent a study for you — do the arithmetic with your own shop. Call a terminal lookup five minutes door-to-door: the walk, the wait if someone's on it, the login, the clicks. If a tech does six of those a day, that's half an hour of a flat-rate tech's day spent commuting to a keyboard. Multiply by your lane count and your effective labor rate — that's the number this page is about.
The phone version of the same lookup: type the vehicle, tap the job, read the time. The tech never leaves the bay.
What's on the phone
Every page is free — no accounts, no seats, no per-tech licensing, no app to install. It works in the browser on whatever phone the tech already carries.
Where it fits (and where it doesn't)
Straight up: warranty operations still get claimed at OEM warranty times through your OEM system — nothing changes there, and we won't pretend otherwise. OLP wins the rest of the day: customer-pay quoting, quick sanity checks on a time, torque values and fluid capacities mid-job, and DTC lookups before anyone walks to a terminal.
On data quality, we label instead of bluff. Every labor time carries an honest tag — verified, calibrated, or book-style estimate — and anyone can flag a number that looks wrong, which feeds a correction pipeline a human approves. How the data is built is public: openlaborproject.com/data-provenance.
Three ways to roll it out
Have them bookmark openlaborproject.com on their phones. That's the whole rollout. No procurement, no IT ticket, no invoice.
Pull labor times, specs, and fitment data straight into your quoting tools, service-lane tablets, or DMS integrations with the OLP Developer API. Business and Enterprise tiers are built for shop-wide volume — see pricing.
Multi-store group, custom integration, or questions about the data? Email us — a real person answers, not a sales sequence.
Pick any vehicle on your lot and pull a time. If it isn't faster than your terminal, close the tab.
