Inspiration

With the rise of the automobile in the 20th century, the need for specialized knowledge and expertise to maintain and repair cars became increasingly important. Initially, car owners relied on local mechanics and repair shops to service their vehicles. With the expansion of the automobile industry and the growing number of car owners, local mechanics and repair shops began to specialize in different areas of automotive repair and maintenance. This inspired us to create AutoSick connects car owners to car experts offering a more convenient and accessible solution for car owners, allowing them to access services from anywhere and at any time.

What it does

Our app provides a one-stop solution for all the car-related needs of the users. It could work as follows:

User Registration: Car owners can sign up on the platform by providing basic information about their car and themselves.

Search for Experts: Based on the user's location, the platform can suggest nearby certified mechanics and other automotive professionals who can help with their specific needs.

Book Appointments: Users can book appointments with the experts of their choice at a time that is convenient for them.

Expert Verification: To ensure quality services, the platform could verify the credentials and expertise of the experts before they're listed on the platform.

User Feedback: Car owners can rate and review the services provided by the experts, helping others make informed decisions.

Our app brings convenience and transparency to the process of connecting car owners to car experts. Additionally, it can also provide a new revenue stream for automotive professionals and increase their visibility to potential customers.
