Use AI to prepare a clear walkthrough script before training a junior mechanic on a new repair procedure.

When you need to teach a newer tech how to do a repair they haven't done before — whether it's replacing a timing belt, diagnosing an ABS issue, or doing a transmission flush — walking in with a clear training script helps you stay organized and makes sure you don't skip important steps. Instead of winging it or trying to explain as you go, you can use AI to build a step-by-step teaching guide in minutes. **Step 1:** Open ChatGPT or Claude and describe the repair or procedure you're about to teach. Include the vehicle type if relevant, and mention any tricky steps or common mistakes you want to emphasize. **Step 2:** Ask AI to create a training walkthrough script — written like you're talking to someone learning the job. Tell it to break the repair into clear steps, highlight safety warnings, and note where mistakes usually happen. **Step 3:** Review the script and add your own shop-specific tips, tool preferences, or shortcuts you've learned over the years. This is where you make it yours. **Step 4:** Print it out or pull it up on your phone, and use it as a guide while you walk the tech through the job. You'll stay on track, the trainee gets a clear lesson, and you can hand them the script to reference later. **Step 5 (Optional):** Save the script in a folder on your phone or computer. Next time you train someone on the same repair, you've already got it ready to go.
