  • receiving, from a second computing system, a message identifying a symptom of a first vehicle;

    identifying first stored data associated with the symptom and a component of a second vehicle that exhibited the symptom;

    identifying second stored data associated with the symptom and a component of a given vehicle;

    selecting, from a plurality of stored phrase templates, a first phrase template and a second phrase template;

    generating a first phrase describing a first procedure performed on the second vehicle, wherein generating the first phrase comprises inserting the first stored data into the first phrase template, and wherein the first procedure performed on the second vehicle yielded a result insufficient to determine that the component of the second vehicle associated with the symptom is defective; and

    generating a second phrase describing a second procedure performed on the given vehicle, wherein the given vehicle is either (i) the second vehicle or (ii) a third vehicle that also exhibited the symptom, wherein generating the second phrase comprises inserting the second stored data into the second phrase template, and wherein the second procedure performed on the given vehicle yielded a result sufficient to determine that a component of the given vehicle associated with the symptom is defective, and wherein the component of the given vehicle is equivalent to the component of the second vehicle;

    generating a repair tip comprising the first phrase and the second phrase; and

    sending, to the second computing system, the repair tip including the generated first phrase and the generated second phrase.
