They play a pivotal role in understanding the mechanical problems with a vehicle, relaying this information to the technicians, and then explaining the required repair work to the customers. Their responsibilities also include preparing cost estimates and scheduling repair work. They must have a thorough understanding of automotive systems and parts, along with excellent customer service skills, as they frequently interact with customers.
