UX for Home Mechanics Helping mechanics stay on track

Sammanfattning

Home mechanics services their own vehicles instead of handing them to a professional mechanic. Professional mechanics have a set of recurring service items put forth by the manufacture of the vehicle. The home mechanics may follow the same schedule or may have their own way of doing things. This project created a UX for those home mechanics to keep track of what service work they have completed and when for their different vehicles. Within the scopes of the project the type of home mechanics was ones working on their own motorcycles. The UX has nothing stopping a mechanic from using it for any other kind of vehicle, but the focus group used to test it had motorcycles as their point of reference.The UX was created from scratch, going from hastily drawn diagrams to mockup images, and finally an interactive digital prototype built with Node.js and VueJS. The final iteration of the prototype allows the user to set a recurring schedule and registered that an instance of a service has been carried out, without getting stuck or committing major errors by the user testing group.
