My take on service logs after a close call with a repeat system failure

I nearly missed a pattern in a customer's AC issues because I didn't jot down notes from my last visit. Some guys say thorough logs are key for diagnostics, but others skip them to save time. What's your method for keeping records without slowing down the job?

Skipping notes is how you get guaranteed repeat business. Can't say I hate the extra callback money.

Ah the old "break it so they call back" method. Classic move, always a solid business plan.

At my last job, the manager fired a tech for skipping notes. The refunds from his mistakes wiped out any callback profit.

You think skipping notes is a good plan? That's crazy lol. It might bring more callbacks, but it also ruins your rep with customers. I'd rather take a minute to write stuff down and avoid the hassle later.
