Why should a vehicle be inspected when the work order is being writen?

Inspecting a vehicle while the work order is being written ensures that any additional issues are identified and documented upfront, which can prevent unexpected repairs later. This proactive approach helps to provide a more accurate estimate of costs and time required for service. Additionally, it enhances safety by ensuring that all potential problems are addressed before the vehicle is returned to the owner. Overall, this practice promotes transparency and customer satisfaction.
