Every car owner knows that it is very difficult to find a reliable provider of automotive maintenance and repair services from a vast number of shops that advertise themselves. One has to waste a lot of time looking for information in specialized forums and listening to the advice of their friends - which often contradict each other - before they manage to find an auto shop that can be trusted to perform a high quality maintenance or repair of a vehicle. It is not surprising that the car owners are often not too happy with the quality of the work done by the auto service they picked.
Our goal was to develop a system that would help car owners to resolve those issues. The main functionalities of the system were:
For a car owner:
- an online manual on the maintenance schedule recommended by the car manufacturer;
- an option to make an appointment for the regular maintenance at a dealership of the given make of the vehicle;
- a personal service consultant;
- a user profile in which all cars owned by the user are listed;
- the ability to find a service closest to the user’s geographic location;
- an option to receive automotive service-related ads and offers;
- a tool for making an appointment for the car wash/tire service closest to the user’s geographic location;
For a dealership:
- a tool for creating a customer order queue for the regular vehicle maintenance;
- viewing the queue and the information about the vehicles;
- viewing the customer requests for complex repairs;
- an opportunity to take part in auctions for cars sold by the clients;
- an service advertising platform
The project was implemented based on the model “website+mobile apps”, that is, it included a website for the system administration and for dealerships, as well as the user apps for iOS and Android platforms.
One of the main client requirements was to meet a tight deadline.
The project was completed within 6 months.
The project team consisted of 10 people: the team lead, a technical writer, two designers, and six developers.
