Work card: receipt of customer car

Structured admission, symptom description and agreement basis

Use the template at each admission. A precise symptom description saves diagnostic time, and a documented condition record upon receipt prevents disputes about scratches and damage when the car is handed back.

§2. Customer's errand and symptom description

Ask the questions and note the answers in the customer's own words — they are often worth their weight in gold in troubleshooting:

  • 01What do you experience? (sound, smell, light, behavior)
  • 02When does it happen? (cold start/warm engine, low/high speed, cornering, braking)
  • 03How often does it happen — constantly or occasionally?
  • 04When did it start and did anything happen before (workshop visit, kerb stone impact, wash)?
  • 05Are there warning lights, and when do they turn on?
  • 06May we test drive the car? YES / NO
