Explain repairs so customers say yes
Turn mechanic notes into a plain-language explanation with a clear 'urgent / can wait' label.
The problem
Customers distrust what they don't understand. Clear explanations get more approvals and fewer arguments.

Template and prompt
I'm a mechanic. Turn these notes into a message for the car owner: for each item, explain in one plain sentence what it is, why it matters, and label it URGENT / SOON / CAN WAIT. Don't add problems not in my notes, don't use scare tactics. Notes: [paste]
