Go to almost any independent auto repair shop in the entire country , and the friendly shop owner will show you one . I probably have one for the past 20 model years at my shop . If you want to know how much it will cost in labor to get a job done , that is my guide . Now days most of this info is found on a CD.
However, asking for the book actually doesn't mean much. The book may be outdated, and what's more, the mechanic is not really an impartial party to giving fair prices. Online estimating services, provided by sites such as www.ecarservices.com, provides a better guideline for specific repairs, broken down by labor hours and part cost estimates.
UPDATE: ecarservices.com does not seem to operate anymore - try repairpal.com or driverside.com.
