Introduction

The RepairSolutions2 app redesign reimagined how drivers understand and act on vehicle diagnostics. Faculty Studio transformed a complex, data-heavy experience into one that feels approachable, intelligent, and reassuring. By surfacing clear insights and real-time feedback, the app empowers drivers to make confident decisions about their vehicle’s health and performance.

What problem were we solving?

Innova’s app offered powerful diagnostic capabilities but lacked the clarity and cohesion drivers needed to trust and engage with it. Complex data, fragmented navigation, and overly technical language made it difficult for users to interpret results or take meaningful action. Our challenge was to turn a tool built for experts into an experience designed for everyday drivers.

What were the goals of the redesign?

Our goal was to make automotive diagnostics feel simple, human, and trustworthy. We set out to unify trip data, diagnostics, and maintenance into one cohesive experience—helping drivers understand their vehicle’s health at a glance while building a scalable design system to support future features and growth.

Dashboard Architecture

Reimagined the dashboard architecture to prioritize live data and actionable insights.

Trip Analytics & Reporting

Designed trip analytics and driving behavior reports for a more contextual understanding of vehicle health.

Waze SDK Integration

Integrated Waze SDK for real-time navigation and issue detection.

Unified Design System

Established a unified design system for consistent patterns across app modules.

The Dashboard

The trip dashboard delivers key driving insights—distance, fuel economy, and driving score—through a clean, easy-to-read layout that helps users understand their performance at a glance.

The redesigned dashboard integrates complex trip data into a clean, card-based layout that highlights key metrics like distance, duration, and driving score. Color-coding and clear hierarchy make insights easy to scan, while real-time driving reports ensure accuracy and give users actionable feedback to improve their performance.

The home dashboard balances detailed trip insights with crucial vehicle diagnostics, ensuring that users are well-informed about both their driving habits and vehicle status.

Vehicle Health section emphasizes ease of use, allowing users to view and plan for their car’s maintenance needs at a glance.

Vehicle Health

The Vehicle Health section turns complex diagnostics into clear, visual insights. Real-time updates and color-coded alerts help drivers quickly understand their car’s condition and take action with confidence.

The Vehicle Health flow was redesigned to make scanning and understanding diagnostics effortless. A guided scan process, clear status indicators, and prioritized issue summaries help drivers quickly identify problems and take action with confidence.

Waze Integration

Seamless Waze integration brings real-time navigation and driving insights together in one place. Drivers can track their trip details and switch between Innova and Waze with a single tap for a smooth, uninterrupted journey.

The Waze integration lets drivers search for nearby gas stations or points of interest without leaving the app. A streamlined interface delivers turn-by-turn directions and fuel stats in a clear, easy-to-read layout.

A landscape analysis of various navigation UI’s. The revamped UI displays trip history with intuitive mapping, making it easy for users to review their recent journeys at a glance. Each trip is presented with clear markers for start and end points, along with trip details such as time and distance.

Design System Integration

A scalable design system unified the app’s expanding features, creating visual consistency and accelerating development across teams.

The design system was custom-built to unify Innova’s suite of automotive tools, creating a consistent language between diagnostics, navigation, and reporting. It provided the foundation for clarity and trust—helping complex data feel approachable, intuitive, and distinctly Innova.

The full app ecosystem was documented in detail, covering every flow from onboarding to diagnostics. Clear specs, prototypes, and annotated screens streamlined collaboration with engineering, ensuring a seamless and accurate handoff.

Redefining how drivers connect with their vehicles.
