- Analyze case trends to identify systemic issues; recommend preventive measures and knowledge base updates.
- Support dealer workshops with structured troubleshooting steps, repair procedures, and parts recommendations to improve first‑time‑fix.
- Create and deliver technical communications and training (remote and on-site) to elevate dealer technical capability.
- Maintain accurate case documentation, including diagnostics performed, measurements, test results, and repair outcomes.
