Summary
Check your customer's vehicle before you start to work on it. If there are any valuables in it, or any damage to the paintwork, note them on your job sheet and refer them to the customer or to your supervisor.
Protect the paintwork of customers vehicles

Take care of your tools. Whether they are your own or belong to your employer they should be clean, in good condition and safely stored when not in use.

Check your customer’s vehicle before you start to work on it. If there are any valuables in it, or any damage to the paintwork, note them on your job sheet; refer them to the customer or to your supervisor. Always use seat covers, floor mats and fender covers when working on a vehicle. Clean any oil and grease off the vehicle when you have completed the job.

Find out what procedures your employer has in place regarding the accounting for spare parts and consumables like oils and sealants. If a vehicle has been damaged in the course of its repair or there is any loss of tools and equipment, notify your supervisor.

Lock doors and windows when you leave the workshop, and always be aware of any unauthorized people in the workshop and report them to your supervisor.
