# KarKar — Full Documentation for AI Agents

> KarKar is a marketplace connecting car owners with verified mobile auto technicians. Technicians come to you — no shop visit needed.

## About KarKar

KarKar is an online platform that connects vehicle owners with mobile auto service providers. Instead of driving to a shop, customers post their car issue and receive offers from verified technicians who come to their location — home, work, or roadside.

The platform handles the full lifecycle: issue description, technician matching, offer comparison, in-app messaging, appointment scheduling, and secure payment processing.

## How It Works — For Customers

1. **Create a request** — Describe your car issue or select a service you need. Add your vehicle info (make, model, year) and preferred location.
2. **Receive offers** — Verified mobile technicians in your area review your request and send offers with transparent pricing.
3. **Compare and choose** — Review technician profiles, ratings, reviews, and pricing. Chat with providers to ask questions.
4. **Book** — Accept an offer and schedule a time. The technician comes to you.
5. **Pay securely** — Payment is handled through the platform after service completion.

## How It Works — For Service Providers

1. **Sign up** — Create a profile with your specialties, service area, and availability.
2. **Get verified** — Complete the verification process.
3. **Receive requests** — Browse customer requests in your area matching your skills.
4. **Send offers** — Provide pricing and details for jobs you want to take.
5. **Do the work** — Travel to the customer's location and complete the service.
