VT, not sure if Honda has anything like GMVIS or not, but our advisors are SUPPOSED to VIS every vehicle before they write it up. I say supposed to, because most of the time they ignore that rule. "C" - customer pay is the default, "W" is warranty, "S" is extended warranty. Each has it's own labor and parts mark-up set-up in intial settings.
For example, 'W' has a $79/hour door rate, and parts mark-up is fixed at 40% (we have to manually override powertrain stuff like transmissions and engines, GM won't pay 40% on them). It's all set-up in accounting on the Service side.
