📌 Project Overview
The Vehicle Breakdown Assistance Management System is a web-based application developed using PHP and MySQL that helps vehicle owners quickly get roadside assistance during breakdowns.
The system connects users, service providers (mechanics/towing services), and administrators on a single platform, ensuring faster response, better tracking, and efficient service management.
This project aims to reduce response time, improve customer experience, and digitize roadside assistance operations.
🎯 Problem Statement
When a vehicle breaks down:
Users struggle to find nearby mechanics or towing services.
There is no proper tracking of requests.
Manual communication causes delays.
No centralized system to manage service providers.
