Project overview

This was a 3 week, group project, completed as part of a UX/UI bootcamp. The goal of this assignment was to research, prototype, test, and validate an idea for a new mobile application.

Our app concept, WheelWise, is your trusted companion to stay ahead of car maintenance tasks without the stress and uncertainty of not knowing what you don’t know. Our app aims to empower the average car owner with the knowledge to stay on top of their maintenance and aims to keep their vehicle running at peak performance for years to come. 

The problem

Car maintenance is a complex world where you often have to take the experts' word, and trust they have your best interest in mind. Many car owners neglect their automobiles care because of the headache that comes with overwhelming amounts of resources without much community knowledge.

Initial solution

Create an app for car enthusiasts to connect with others who share their interests and share their knowledge.

(After reviewing data from our initial interviews, and looking at the time frame we had, we turned away from the car enthusiast community and began exploring what an app for the average car user might look like.)

Revised solution

Create an app for the average car user that helps them track maintenance and find good deals on service in their area. This could be useful to car owners whether they do their own maintenance or take it to a mechanic.
