AutoAide: a car-care app for owners and technicians

Two kinds of person, chosen on the last step of onboarding. The vehicle owner keeps one or more cars in a garage, each with its VIN, its model and its mileage, and comes back for the next service date, the last repair, a receipt or a part. The automotive technician, an individual or a shop owner, becomes a professional, earns a badge on the profile and posts step-by-step how-to videos that owners watch from a schedule or the video listing. Shops sit between the two: the Shop tab lists shops to buy spare parts and repair shops near me, each with a rating and a distance, and a repair shop page carries a booking form.

The whole app, front to back, as the screens show it. Sign-in by email or phone with a one-time code, sign-up, forgot and reset password. A four-step onboarding: add the vehicle, when it was last serviced, what was repaired, and what defines you best, each step skippable. Home with a search bar, a daily tips card and Create cards for a new service schedule, a new vehicle, the service guide, the how-to guide and My Vehicles. My Garage with the vehicle card, recommended spare parts, Reminders, Logs, Video and SOP, and a Capture Receipt card. Vehicle details with Upcoming and Past service tabs. New and Edit Service Schedule. Reminders as a dated list, vehicle logs as service or repair records with a date, a time and a mileage, vehicle SOPs, and receipts as named photos. The Shop tab with shops, parts and a booking form. How-to videos with a step-by-step guide, and a New Video form with a clip and a description per step. Trivia, ten questions at a time. A profile, the Become a professional forms, a subscription plan, and settings with notification and location toggles, the legal pages and account deletion.

One long form under the primary car. The service type, the current mileage and the reminded mileage, the date, the items to be repaired as removable chips, additional notes, then self service or service from outside, the items required, a row of how-to videos and the Create Schedule button. Edit Service Schedule is the same form with the fields filled. Beside it, the vehicle's record keeps an Upcoming Service and a Past Service tab, and Reminders is a dated list of its own.

Because an empty garage has nothing to remind anyone about. Step 2 asks when the car was last serviced, with the date, the time, the odometer mileage and when the next service is due; step 3 asks what was repaired, as chips. The first schedule then has a car, a last service and a list of parts to start from. Each step can be skipped, so a person who wants to look around first can, and the same forms wait behind the Create cards on Home.
