Turn a customer's vague complaint into a structured diagnostic plan before you touch the vehicle.
When a customer says something like 'it makes a noise' or 'it just doesn't feel right,' you waste time guessing what to check first. Use AI to turn that fuzzy description into a step-by-step diagnostic plan before you even pop the hood. This saves you from chasing symptoms in circles and helps you quote a realistic diagnostic time to the customer upfront.

“Act as an experienced diagnostic technician. A customer just dropped off their vehicle with this complaint: [paste or type the customer's exact words here, like 'my car makes a grinding noise when I turn left']. Create a structured diagnostic plan that includes: (1) the most likely causes ranked by probability, (2) a step-by-step checklist of what to inspect or test in order, (3) any special tools or conditions needed for each test, and (4) estimated time for each step. Write it so I can follow it in the bay without guessing what to check next.”
