Hartford Changes Labor Pricing from Flat Fee

The Hartford, Conn.-based Hartford has announced that effective October 10, 2007, it will change the way it prices labor for windshield replacement. The company will now pay $40.50 per NAGS hour, as opposed to its $110 flat fee.

Following is a chart that shows how this will affect pricing for the top-10 most popular NAGS parts. (The chart also takes into effect changes in NAGS prices since the May 2007 Calculator. Parts are priced at 37 percent off NAGS, as noted in both The Hartford's January and October faxes. It does not take into account prices for urethanes, mouldings or kits.)
