Protect booked workshop time
When service bays are booked, missing consumables create avoidable interruptions. Group the gloves, chemicals, cleaning items, fasteners and other products your team uses most into a repeat list. Specialist requirements can be added when a job needs equipment outside the normal workshop range.
Make specialist tool enquiries precise
For engine, timing or brake work, include vehicle details and the specified tool reference where available. Photos and component markings can help establish the requirement. CSK can check sourcing options; the workshop remains responsible for following the vehicle and equipment procedures relevant to the repair.
Separate routine orders from genuine urgency
Highlight whether an item is needed for a vehicle already in a bay or for a future booking. Send the postcode and latest useful delivery time so Sam can check the route. A clear deadline helps avoid an order arriving after the job has already been rescheduled.
