DTC scan right into the notes section of
the repair order (Figure 4). To me, this is
a huge deal because it eliminates the steps
outlined above. The beauty here is that
the scan can be initiated while the technician
is performing other tasks because
the scan doesn't require any monitoring
or post-scan operations. Additionally,
when the technician completes repairs
and clears the DTC's with the scan tool,
the new DTC report will be uploaded to
the repair order automatically.
Many of the handheld diagnostic tools
such as Autel, Launch Tech, MAHLE, and
others will output a clean PDF report that
can be attached to the work order. In some
cases, the PDF report can be customized
with your company name and logo which
can go a long ways towards elevating
your brand.
Proper documentat ion can help
in more ways than one. With new
technologies coming our way, look
for methods that will help you document
easier through the transfer of
data from your diagnostic tools right
into your repair orders automatically.
Additionally, using your smartphone
or tablet to capture video and audio
can go a long way towards helping your
clients understand more about their
vehicles and what it takes to keep them
operating properly.
