Default Labor Manual

Hey does anyone have a labor manual for the GS 300 or know where I could get one? It would be interesting to see some of the times in there for certain repairs.

i was hoping to get the manual myself but I guess since i can't right now, here's one. The dealer told me 7 hours to change the camshaft oil seals but a garage that my dad goes to all the time said the book only says 4 hours. What does the Lexus manual say?

I have the Factory Service Manual. I want the labor manual. The one that tells how many hours a certain job takes.

are you a tech? that's how the mechanics make good money, right? do they let the techs stack up say 20hrs in an 8hr day? I think the labor book has been detrimental to customers pocket for a while. not just at dealers either.
