The Challenges involved when the vehicle comes to a halt in unexpected circumstances are many. In such an adverse situation, user may not exactly know the location to find the nearest available mechanic. The goal is to develop an Android application that will help the user to avail help by installing the application and get access to the nearby mechanic and thereby contact them using the internet facility and the application. Generally, when the user is struck in such an adverse situation, the first step undertaken is to enquire with the people nearby and find the location of the nearest mechanic and get the repair process working. The proposed system developed is an Android based application which can run on any of the compatible Android devices, be it a Tablet or a Smartphone. The app will enable the vehicle owner to search and communicate with any service center’s mechanic in the vicinity. The user gets access to the mechanic’s location and the mechanic in return gets access to the user’s location, through the application using the Google map facility thereby saving a lot of time in such an complicated situation Henceforth, the proposed system goes hand in hand with the new age technology and characterizes –user friendliness, informative and time saving.
