Hi.

Spent the day yesterday working on a canned job to describe a full diagnostic repair.  Heres what I wrote.

(Perform)

Great thread.  Thanks allot!

How did you end up re-describing the canned job or jobs?

Mine read  (work requested) Computer Scan Diagnostics

                (work performed) Scan for codes and record all codes found.

I'm trying to have a proper, professional, description.  Using those keywords, "Troubleshoot", "Analyze" and "Testing".    I also think it is important to include a road test before and after in the work performed section. Sometime I will road test for a technician for an hour or more to confirm a fix if we feel it necessary. (Or reproduce an intermittent issue)

I need to remove and replace the word diagnostic from front end inspections, and other areas also.

I appreciate your input.

Interesting read on estimates and diagnostics.
