Their Challenge
Everyone has felt that moment of despair when their “check engine” light turns on. It can be frustrating not knowing what is wrong with your car, or how serious it is. Spending money on costly mechanic visits only to learn that you just needed a simple oil change can feel like a waste. On the other hand, assuming that the issue is a low priority can cost you thousands of dollars if it ends up being severe.
As Seen On Tv, Inc wanted to come up with an inexpensive, easy-to-use solution to help people understand what was wrong which their cars in order to get rid of the unease caused by the “check engine” light.
Our Solution
Micro Mechanic is a small device that plugs into a vehicle’s OBD-II port and diagnoses the issues making your engine light turn on. As Seen On Tv, Inc. came to Saritasa for the development of the device’s companion apps, which allows the user to quickly and easily see the problem and how high priority it is.
Our Approach
What Saritasa Did
Native Development
In order to unlock the full extent of each platform’s built-in features, our team used Android and iOS’s respective native programming languages to build the Micro Mechanic apps.
Bluetooth Integration
The Micro Mechanic apps were built to be compatible with both the Android and iOS apps through Bluetooth, creating an easy and reliable connection between the devices for quick updates.
OBD-II Integration
Once a user initiates a scan, the app will display the issues it found, along with information on whether the car is safe to drive or needs immediate attention. Along with displaying the issue, the app also calculates the estimated repair costs and provides automatic maintenance reminders to keep your car in top shape.
Micro Mechanic Pro
While the free version of the Micro Mechanic app allows users to check immediate issues with their car, the Pro version provides a Live Dashboard and Performance Timer which gives deeper insights into the car’s metrics.
