ROLE PLAYS/FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR TECHNICIANS 1. You are the third mechanic they sent for the same problem. Are you going to fix it this time? This is under warranty isn t it? I ll check my CN3 device to find out your repair history. I ll check the unit. I ll inform you of the repairs. 2. Please explain why this part you installed last month is so expensive. Mechanics are not involved in pricing, but I ll call your Account Manager and he or she will check the price to make sure there are no mistakes and get back to you. 3. Where is the quote I asked for over two weeks ago? Let me contact your Account Manager to find out where it is and why you have not received it yet. I m sorry for any inconvenience. 4. I called over four hours ago; where have you been? I apologize for the delay. I ll check on your equipment right away. I ll call dispatch and find out what the mix up was on the call. 5. Why do I have to pay for a truck charge? This makes my first hour over $150. All our customers are charged a one-time truck charge. This is used to service and maintain our vehicles in order to expedite the time we can get here. 6. How much is this one going to set me back? Let me go up and take a look. Once I have diagnosed the problem. I ll be able to give you an estimate. If it is something major, I can give you some options.
7. Why didn t you catch this problem on the maintenance? Isn t that why I pay you to do a preventive maintenance on my equipment? Maintenance usually takes care of the lager problems, but some problems may still occur. Let me look at the system, and if I find that it s a maintenance-related problem, I ll let you know. And if not, we can discuss what to do to solve the problem. 8. Can you look at this too? This always happens after you have filled out your work order, posted your time and had the customer sign it. Yes, would you like to make another tag or should I incorporate this work in the current order? I can also generate another tag and you can sign both of them upon completion. 9. Why are you so expensive? We are fully equipped to serve your needs. Our mechanics are the best trained in the industry, and we have the best warranty in the business. 10. Why should I have to do the job when Brand X can do it cheaper?

Your company was here three times this week and my air still doesn t work. Let me take a look at it. If it is a problem we have dealt with before, it s covered under warranty. 12. Why do I have to pay for your time to get the part? There are too many parts to be able to carry them all on each truck. Our goal is to minimize your down time by making the repair as quickly as possible. 13. Why do I have to pay for your time to fill out the invoice on your CN3 device? The work order is a history of labor done and materials used. It is a good record for us and you. It s also used for the billing process.
