Online Car Maintenance Service
Overview
Eslah is your one-stop solution to all the hassles that come connected to the servicing of your vehicle. It stimulates the work of car workshops and provides you with all your car's needs, such as repairing faults, maintenance, and spare parts. An app connects the customer to the service provider. The customer requests to fix the car with images, and the interested service provider will send a quotation to complete that service. Users can order any parts for a car which are available in-app for sale. Another exciting feature of this app is that if you have a garage business and want to expand through advertisement, this app has an explore functionality where you can request your garage advertisement admin. Eslah provides a seamless car service experience at the convenience of a tap.

Client Requirements
This project aims to develop a mobile application that will help connect people in need of car repairs and spare parts with willing sellers. With an app, they wanted to give car owners a seamless, professional, yet affordable car service experience at their doorstep through service providers when they seek out car repair and maintenance service. More they want to help in reducing predatory prices that are found in some repair shops. On the other hand, service providers can also earn money with their skilled car repairing work. He came to Hyperlink InfoSystem to develop an application for car maintenance. After some team discussion and research, we have added some unique features and developed two apps: Eslah – for customers and Provider Eslah- for a service provider. The application will help to level the field for the repair shops as well as for customers.

Challenges
To manage changes in Developed Functionality:
During development time, we discussed with the client regularly for new changes and requirements. As per the client's demand to change in functionality was difficult as we need to change the whole thing from app design to API calling and database entry that is already implemented earlier. But we overcame this problem after proper discussion with the team and implemented client demand in the way that changes can do efficiently. And in the future, if any more changes will come, we able to do it very quickly.
