Innova RepairSolutions2

Redesigning RepairSolutions2 around how drivers understand vehicle health: plain-language findings, connected trip data, and technical detail when needed.

RepairSolutions2 presented engine codes, sensor data, and diagnostic charts in terms a mechanic could interpret. Drivers needed a different starting point: what the finding meant and how urgently it needed attention.

I led the redesign around that gap, connecting diagnostics, trip data, and maintenance while preserving access to the technical detail. The work spanned information architecture, core workflows, and a shared design system for iOS and Android.

The moment it actually has to work: a warning light, a phone, and a driver who just wants to know whether they can keep going.

Role & Impact

Led the redesign across information architecture, diagnostic workflows, and the design system for iOS and Android.

Dashboard Architecture
Organized vehicle health and live data around the information drivers needed first.
Diagnostic Results
Rewrote the post-scan result screen — severity and plain-language findings first, the raw trouble code one tap down.
Trip Analytics & Reporting
Designed trip analytics and driving-behavior reports for a more contextual read on vehicle health.
Waze SDK Integration
Designed the navigation experience around the Waze SDK.
Unified Design System
Established a unified design system for consistent patterns across app modules.

A language the driver already speaks

The visual language needed to support quick reading. I updated the app identity and typography alongside the information hierarchy, so plain-language findings were easier to scan.

I brought trip data, diagnostics, and maintenance into a connected experience, giving drivers context for how their vehicle was performing.

The screen that mattered most

The post-scan screen was the critical decision point. A result such as “P0301: Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected” identified an issue without helping a driver interpret its significance.

I organized the result around severity, the finding in plain language, and supporting evidence. A summary alone would have hidden useful detail; leading with the raw code put the interpretation work on the driver.

The same principle shaped the relationship between trip insights and vehicle health: make the summary readable, then provide a path into the detail.

Trip insights — how the drive actually went
Vehicle health — the guided scan that says whether the car's okay

Severity first. Vehicle Health used color to distinguish detected issues from a scan with none, giving drivers an immediate starting point for reviewing the results.

AfterBeforeBeforeAfter
Drag to compare — the post-scan result screen, before and after. Same data; a different order to meet it.

Plain-language findings. Each issue explained the symptom and its urgency alongside familiar checks such as brake life and tire pressure.

Technical evidence within reach. Trouble codes and sensor data remained available under “Learn More About This Issue,” supporting both drivers who wanted more detail and mechanics reviewing the result.

A reason to open it every day

I designed navigation into the experience through the Waze SDK, extending the app's use beyond diagnostic scans. It introduced integration and maintenance requirements in exchange for a useful role during everyday driving.

Consistent patterns across modules

I established shared typography, spacing, color, and components across modules. Defining these foundations early helped keep vehicle health and diagnostic states consistent as the app expanded.

What I'd carry forward

The redesign made complex information easier to interpret without removing the evidence behind it. A next step would be to study when drivers open the technical detail and whether it resolves their questions, rather than treating longer sessions alone as success.

“In our opinion, the initial design pass could be used to go live as they are, we are happy with the work.”
