Turn a customer's description of symptoms into a clear diagnostic summary you can reference throughout the repair.
When a customer tells you what's wrong, they often use vague or emotional language that's hard to turn into shop notes. Before you start working, use AI to organize their complaint into a clear diagnostic summary that you and your team can reference. This saves you from asking the same questions twice, helps you track what you checked, and keeps everyone on the same page from start to finish.

“Act as an experienced automotive service advisor. I need you to turn a customer's verbal complaint into a clear diagnostic summary that a mechanic can reference throughout the repair. The summary should include: symptom description, when it happens, what the customer noticed, and any other relevant details. Format it as a short reference note I can keep with the work order. Customer complaint: [paste or type exactly what the customer said, like: 'My car makes this weird noise when I turn left, but only sometimes, and it smells funny after I drive on the highway for a while. Also the brakes feel spongy.'] Give me a clean summary I can use as my diagnostic reference throughout this job.”
