HERE'S WHAT FLAT RATE SERVICE IS What is meant by "flat rates service?" Much discussion of this subject is heard among motor car owners, but it is evident from the nature of these conversations, that many have only a vague idea of its real significance. As a matter of fact, flat rates service, as applied by the leading auto-mobile dealers, is not definable in a single sentence. "In the first place," according to Charley Mann, local dealer for Dodge Brothers, "it means that a careful study was made of the thousands of operations that might enter into the repairing of a motor cat. On the basis of these time-studies, reasonable time allowances for every convenient service job were established, and the mechanic is required to complete each job within the allotted time. When an owner brings his car to the service station for repairs, says Mann, "we are able to quote him a positive figure for the work to be done. We are also enabled to give him a definite delivery promise." But there is an element of even greater importance to the car owner, and contrives to get it finished on time, that he may start a new job. Naturally he is anxious to make as much money as possible, and such a plan eliminates loafing. A feature of this system is the penalty that requires each mechanic to make good without additional pay, any of his work that is returned because of inferior workmanship. This precludes any possibility of carelessness on the part of the mechanic. "We have found positively," concludes Mr. Mann, "that this method not only reduces the charges to our car owners, but it improves the quality of our service work. It is the nearest thing to perfection that I have ever seen in the line of service efficiency." quires each mechanic to make good without additional pay, any of his work that is returned because of inferior workmanship.
