Next Challenge: What’s your disruptive primary packaging design for a skincare product line (exclusively for E-commerce)? |

Getting your car repaired can be a confusing and frustrating process for many of us. To better understand the biggest friction points in the car repair process, we recently conducted a number of qualitative interviews to learn from the experiences of car owners who had recently gotten a vehicle serviced. Our research focused on key findings from three specific stages a consumer goes through when getting a car fixed.
- Arriving at the shop
- Waiting for services (when dropping the car off and returning later is not an option)
- Service walkthrough (when you get an overview of work to be done or an explanation of work that was completed on the vehicle)
The image below highlights the key friction points our research uncovered for these three stages

For this challenge, we'd like you to help us come up with solutions to address one of the key friction points from the image above. Think about times you had to go into a shop to get your vehicle serviced, and propose ideas for how the experience could have been better for you!
Please focus your solution on at least ONE of the key friction points in the image above:
1) Which key friction point did you pick?
2) Propose a product/service/technology solution to reduce or eliminate the friction point you chose.
- Describe the solution in detail - what are the features and how would it work?
- What is the customer's main problem that would be solved by your solution?
- Explain why your solution is better than what is available today
