     32-3-51.15.   Costs included in damage disclosure statement--Retail value of labor. The dollar amount of damage to a motor vehicle required to be disclosed pursuant to § 32-3-51.8 shall include the costs necessary to return the damaged motor vehicle to its predamaged condition. Such costs include parts, labor, paint, and frame work done on the damaged motor vehicle. If the retail value of labor has not been determined by a purchase in the ordinary course of business (for example, the labor is performed by the owner of the vehicle), the retail value of the labor is presumed to be the product of the repair time, as provided in a generally accepted autobody repair flat rate manual, multiplied by thirty-five dollars.
