To avoid unrealistic customer expectations, what should be done at check-in?

Setting definite expectations at check-in is crucial for maintaining a positive customer experience and avoiding any misunderstandings later on. When you clearly communicate what the customer can expect regarding timelines, costs, and the scope of the service provided, it allows the customer to have a realistic understanding of the process.

This practice helps to build trust and ensures that the customer is well-informed about what to expect during and after the repair process. It can also prevent dissatisfaction that might arise when customers have inflated expectations about the speed of service or the results of the repair. Therefore, being specific about expected timelines and service details lays a solid foundation for effective communication and enhances overall customer satisfaction.
