ATD Automotive Troubleshooting & Repair App
Description:
ATD is a mobile application designed to help car owners and mechanics quickly diagnose and fix automotive issues. It provides step-by-step guidance for common car problems, offers repair tutorials, maintenance reminders, and allows users to log repairs and track their car?s health over time. The app aims to simplify vehicle maintenance for both professionals and everyday drivers, combining a database of car issues with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.
Key features include:
- Car Diagnostics: Enter symptoms or use integrated sensors to detect issues.
- Repair Guides: Step-by-step instructions with images, videos, and tools required.
- Maintenance Tracking: Schedule oil changes, tire rotations, and other services.
- Parts & Tools Recommendations: Suggests compatible parts and tools for repairs.
- Community Support: Connect with other users for advice and troubleshooting tips.
UI/UX Design Process in Figma:
The design of ATD was carefully planned to ensure a smooth and user-friendly experience. Using Figma, the process included:
- User Research & Personas:
- Identified target users (car owners, amateur mechanics, professional mechanics).
- Created personas representing different levels of automotive knowledge.
- Wireframing:
- Drafted low-fidelity wireframes in Figma to map out key app screens (home, diagnostics, guides, maintenance logs).
- Focused on navigation flow and prioritizing essential functions.
- Prototyping:
- Built interactive prototypes to test user flows, including symptom input, guide navigation, and repair logging.
- Used Figma?s prototyping tools to simulate tapping, scrolling, and page transitions.
- UI Design:
- Applied a clean, modern aesthetic with intuitive icons and color coding to differentiate repair categories.
- Ensured readability with clear typography and visual hierarchy for step-by-step guides.
- Created consistent components (buttons, cards, input fields) using Figma?s component system for scalability.
- Usability Testing:
- Shared the Figma prototype with potential users to gather feedback.
- Iterated on designs to improve navigation, minimize confusion, and enhance visual appeal.
- Final Handoff:
- Organized all assets, components, and style guides in Figma for developers.
- Included annotations for interactions, ensuring smooth implementation into the mobile app.
The result is an app that balances functionality with simplicity, allowing users to fix car issues confidently, even if they are not professional mechanics.
