Abstract - Finding nearby garages quickly is a common challenge for vehicle owners, especially in unfamiliar locations. This paper presents a web-based solution for identifyingnearbygaragesusingpre-registeredlocationdata. Users can search for garages based on proximity while mechanicscanregistertheirgarages,enteringservicedetails andlocationcoordinates manually. The systemisbuilt using modernwebtechnologiessuchasReact.jsforthefrontendand Supabase as the backend service, enabling efficient data handlingwithoutrelyingonexternalserviceslikeGoogleMaps API. This approachenhances accessibility,reducessearchtime, andpromotesconvenienceforvehiclemaintenanceservices.

1.INTRODUCTION
Inthemoderneraofsmarttechnology,theneedforefficient vehicle maintenance services has increased significantly. Vehicle owners often face difficulties in locating nearby garages, particularly when traveling in unfamiliar areas. Traditional approaches like verbal recommendations or manuallysearchingthroughmapsarenolongerpracticalin a fast-paced, digital environment. As a result, there is growingdemandforplatformsthatcanofferconvenientand reliableaccesstonearbyrepairservices.
ExistingsolutionsoftenrelyheavilyonAPIssuchasGoogle Maps, which come with limitations like usage costs, dependency on third-party services, and the need for constant internet connectivity. Moreover, many such systems are mobile-exclusive or focus narrowly on emergency breakdown situations. This paper addresses theselimitationsbyproposingaflexibleandcost-effective web application that functions independently of external APIs, using pre-registered garage data to deliver locationbasedsearchresults.

3. METHODOLOGY
Theproposedsystemisdesignedtohelpusersfindnearby garagesbasedonpre-recordedlocationdata,eliminatingthe need for Google APIs. The methodology consists of the followingkeysteps:
Garage Registration: Mechanics register their garages by manuallyenteringdetailssuchasname,contactinformation, availableservices,andthelatitudeandlongitudeobtained fromGoogleMaps.Thisdataisstoredinadatabase.
UserLocationRetrieval:Whenausersearchesforanearby garage,thesystemdeterminestheircurrentlocationusing device-basedgeolocationmethodsormanuallocationinput.
DistanceCalculation:Thesystemfiltersthelistofregistered garagesbasedonpre-writtendistancedata.InsteadofrealtimeAPI-baseddistancecalculation,itreliesonpre-recorded distances between locations to provide nearby options efficiently.

4. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system is a web-based platform that helps usersfind nearbygarageswithoutrelying onGoogleAPIs. Instead,mechanicsmanuallyentertheirgarage’slatitudeand longitude during registration. When a user searches for a garage, the system retrieves and displays a list of nearby garages based on pre-defined distance calculations. This

approach ensures a cost-effective and efficient way to connect users with mechanics while maintaining accurate location-basedservices
5. MODULES
User Management
Users and mechanics must register to access the system. Userscansearchfornearbygarages,whilemechanicsenter their garage details, including latitude and longitude. Authentication ensures secure access and prevents unauthorizedusage.
Garage Registration and Management
Mechanics manually input their garage details, including location coordinates, services, pricing, and contact information.Thesystemverifiesandstoresthesedetailsfor easyretrieval,ensuringaccuratedataforusers.
Nearby Garage Search
Users can find garages based on pre-defined distance criteria.Thesystemretrievestheuser’slocation,comparesit withregisteredgarages,anddisplaysasortedlistofnearby garagesalongwithrelevantdetailssuchasservicesoffered andratings.
Service Booking and Reviews
Users can book services directly by contacting to the mechanicusingcontactnumberprividedinagarageprofile. A rating and review system allows customers to provide feedbackonservicequality,helpingothersmakeinformed decisions. Mechanics can update service availability and managecustomerrequestsefficiently.
Admin Panel
The admin panel manages user and garage registrations, verifies information, handles complaints, and monitors system functionality. The administrator ensures the authenticityofregisteredgaragesandmaintainsoveralldata integrityforsmoothoperation.
6.CONCLUSION
Thedevelopedgaragelocatorsystemprovidesanefficient solutionforuserstofindnearbygarageswithoutrelyingon external APIs. By manually registering garages with their latitudeandlongitude,thesystemensuresaccuratedistancebased listings for users. This approach minimizes dependency on third-party services while maintaining reliable location-based services. The system enhances accessibility,reducessearchtime,andimprovestheoverall experience for both users and mechanics. Future enhancementscouldinclude real-time availabilityupdates and advanced filtering options to further refine user searches.
