Shop Repair Software

No not an FSM.

Was wondering if you guys can give me some ideas on what software would include labor hour calculations and what not. I have no clue. Thinking some old Chilton software had them but not really sure.

Would rather something that is not vehicle specific but includes pretty much anything. But Toyota and BMW would be a good start at least.

Thanks for the help guys. If this is in thw wrong section please move, but did not seem to fit into the Computer forums to me.

Alldata, not good doesn't that require an online subscription? Oh and yeah forgot about the mitchel stuff, I think that's what I was talking about with the chilton. But I don't believe the mitchell stuff has software right?

ok thanks, I didn't realize Alldata had other software other than their repair guides which is the one which requires the monthly.
