WORKFLOW AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
When it comes to diagnostics, I know
firsthand how much time it can take
to properly address an issue. In some
cases where we've taken in a client's
vehicle for the first time that
may have had previous unsuccessful
repair attempts, our front office
staff will perform some preliminary
research such as reviewing TSBs and
other service information resources
before dispatching it to a technician.
With the goal of expediting the diagnostic
time, the office staff can place
links and or documents right into the
notes section of the work order so
that the technician doesn't have to
look it up.
With all the rich technology service
providers have access to, it's still
sometimes difficult to find the right
information in a timely manner.
Developing your own best practices
around managing and accessing this
information should be front and center.
Additionally, service training assets are
more available than ever and knowledgeable
service personnel can go a
long way towards running an efficient
service center leading to a stronger
bottom line.
