Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
If I learned that a service advisor was recommending unnecessary brake jobs to meet a sales target, I would first review his repair orders to confirm the pattern, then contact affected customers and refund unneeded work. I would also change the pay plan that rewarded volume without regard to need. Proverbs 11:1 says a false balance is an abomination to the Lord, and padding repair orders is a false balance with a customer's trust.
