Prepare a pre-appointment checklist for multi-step jobs so you don't miss anything when the customer arrives.
Big jobs like timing belts, transmission work, or full brake jobs have a lot of moving parts. Use AI to build a custom prep checklist before the customer drops off their vehicle—so you've confirmed part availability, tool access, bay scheduling, and any special notes from their service history. Walking into the appointment organized makes you look professional and helps you give accurate time estimates right away.
