A Typical Shift

You start by scanning the day’s repair flow and checking on open RO status, then touch base with advisors and the dispatcher to keep the schedule on track. Between quick check-ins with techs, you review productivity numbers, spot trends in comebacks or warranty activity, and make small adjustments to keep momentum. You’ll step into road tests or quick quality checks as vehicles wrap, and you’ll close the loop with customers when follow-up or a fast resolution is needed. The day ends with a cleaner, safer shop, updated reports, and a clear plan for tomorrow.
