The customer interview is the foundation of a properly written Complaint or Concern Statement on a repair order. It begins with open-ended questions to let the customer describe the issue in their own words, followed by clarifying questions that gather critical details — such as when the problem occurs, under what conditions, how often, and whether any warning lights are present. The goal is to extract clear, relevant information without assuming or diagnosing the issue.
Once the advisor has the necessary details, they should repeat the concern back to the customer for confirmation, then document it clearly on the repair order. The statement should be objective, concise, and written from the customer’s perspective — for example, “Customer states a grinding noise is heard from the front of the vehicle when turning right at low speeds after warm-up.” A well-conducted interview results in a complaint statement that gives the technician a clear direction, supports warranty documentation, and improves communication between the customer, service advisor, and technician.
