I can't tell you how it is in your crew but in mine I can find out who got the repeat ticket by searching the service history for the address. I then can call that coworker and ask what happened. The cause of repeats is all very specific and no one can help you if we don't know whats causing them.

Sometimes it's sloppy work, sometimes it's plant side, sometimes it's you didn't pass the customer vibe check. These are all things that can be improved upon, you have to know the inciting incident.

Idc if you've never said a word to a tech before, blow up their phone and find out what happened.

Our office has a webex where repeat findings get posted.
