Overview

The Repair Service App is designed to streamline the process of managing repair requests for mechanics. It allows mechanics to view and manage repair requests assigned to them, update the status of requests, and communicate with clients efficiently.

Features

1. Mechanic Home Screen: Displays new repair requests and completed requests.
2. New Repair Requests Screen: Lists repair requests that are pending or on hold, allowing mechanics to update their status.
3. Completed Repair Requests Screen: Displays a list of repair requests that have been marked as completed.
4. Task Tiles: Customizable tiles for displaying repair request details and options to update their status.
5. Real-time Updates: Utilizes Firestore's real-time database to ensure mechanics have access to the latest repair request information.
6. Confirmation Dialogs: Dialog boxes for confirming actions such as marking a repair request as completed.
7. Responsive Design: Designed to work seamlessly across different screen sizes and orientations.

Architecture

The Repair Service App follows a client-server architecture, with the client implemented using Flutter for cross-platform compatibility and the server-side logic managed by Firebase Firestore.

• Client-Side (Flutter): The client side of the app is built using the Flutter framework, which allows for efficient development of cross-platform mobile applications. It handles the user interface, user interactions, and communicates with the Firebase backend.

• Server-Side (Firebase Firestore): The server side of the app is managed by Firebase Firestore, a NoSQL cloud database provided by Google Firebase. Firestore stores and syncs the app's data in real-time, enabling mechanics to receive instant updates on repair requests.
