Lessons learned by the Intern:

1-the first step to diagnose a problem is by doing a visual inspection not by replacing the part directly.

2-Some parts in the vehicle systems need to be checked thoroughly to identify the exact problem and not to leave it for guessing.

3-One should be careful while dealing with some certain faults in vehicle. Such as replacing the clutch disk and pressure plate .

4- If one is not sure that the source of a problem is part “X” then he should return to the Workshop Engineer who would return to the Technical support in turn.

5-the client has the right to have a look on what part has to be replaced in his car before taking any decision regarding this part.

Recommendations for future ones:

1-there should be training sessions for interns during their internship period .these sessions may discuss the usual

problems that appear a lot in the company vehicles and clients always complain about.

2-the work flow of the maintenance center should be clarified a bit because not all the interns have an internship experience before.
