New: maintenance with an expected end date

A car that goes to the workshop with no one knowing when it will be back is a common cause of bookings that cannot be honoured. So Miftahly now asks for an expected end date whenever a car is moved to maintenance or accident status.

What changed

  • The expected date is required when moving a car to "Maintenance" or "Accident", along with the reason.
  • The car is blocked in the calendar until that date, so it does not appear available for new bookings during maintenance.
  • The date can be changed at any time if the workshop runs late or finishes early.

Why the car does not become available automatically

Because passing the date does not mean the repair is actually done. The car stays "Overdue" until staff press "Maintenance done" and note what was fixed; then it returns to "Available". This way no car is handed to a customer while it is still at the workshop.

Alerts on the home page

Overdue maintenance shows on the manager's home page, so it can be followed up with the workshop before it affects the coming days' bookings.

The result

  • Realistic bookings based on cars that are actually ready.
  • A clear record for every maintenance: when it started, why, when it ended and what was fixed.
  • Easier follow-up on workshops and overdue cars.
