When did you last change your oil? What does that dashboard light actually mean? Which workshop can you trust? Most of us can't answer basic questions about our own cars. Receipts get lost, service dates get forgotten, and warning lights stay a mystery. GarageK was built to lift that fog, a Saudi app that lets your car tell its own story. WHAT GARAGEK DOES FOR YOU A SERVICE RECORD THAT SAVES ITSELF Every service at a partner workshop is logged automatically to your car's record, the work done, the parts, the date, the invoice. No typing, no lost paperwork. Your car's full story, in your pocket. ALERTS BEFORE FAULTS GET EXPENSIVE AI reads your car's condition and warns you before a small issue becomes a costly repair. Maintenance today is cheaper than a breakdown tomorrow. DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS, EXPLAINED A light comes on and you're not sure what it means? Ask the app and get a clear, plain-language answer: what happened, whether you can keep driving, and what to do next. VERIFIED WORKSHOPS WITH TRANSPARENT TRUST SCORES Every workshop on the platform passes an on-the-ground verification and earns a Trust Score built on its documented work, not on promises. Choose with confidence and book your appointment right from the app. MAINTENANCE & PERIODIC INSPECTION REMINDERS Never miss your next service or your Fahas (MVPI) renewal, GarageK reminds you before the deadline, not after. A VERIFIED MAINTENANCE CERTIFICATE A documented history protects your car's resale value. Get a barcoded certificate any buyer can verify in seconds. A documented car is worth more. WHY GARAGEK IS DIFFERENT We don't sell promises, we sell knowledge. A real record that builds itself, workshops verified in person, and alerts based on your car's actual condition. Everything in the app is something you can verify yourself. Free to download. Create your car's profile and start its record today. Optional subscription plans unlock the advanced smart features. Starting in Riyadh, with a growing network of partner workshops. Know your car. Your car, with confidence, GarageK.

About

GeoVya Reader

Read full description

GeoVya Reader opens the GIS files you receive and shows them on a map โ€” on your phone, with no account, no upload and no sign-in. Open a file from Files, from a message or from any app that shares it, and see it on the map right away. Tap a feature to read its fields. Browse the features list, search the features' data, show or hide layers, reorder them and pick their colours. Choose a neutral canvas or a street basemap. Supported formats GeoJSON ยท KML and KMZ ยท GPX ยท FlatGeobuf ยท GeoPackage ยท Shapefile ยท File Geodatabase ยท Personal Geodatabase (.mdb) Every format opens directly or from inside a ZIP, with two exceptions: a KMZ opens directly only, not when it is inside a ZIP; Shapefile and File Geodatabase open only from inside a ZIP (a File Geodatabase as .gdb.zip). Any declared coordinate system: the file is placed where it belongs. A ZIP containing several datasets opens as one map. Your files stay on your device GeoVya Reader reads your files in place. It has no account, no server and no analytics, and it sends nothing about you or your files anywhere. Its only network use is fetching street basemap tiles from OpenFreeMap when you choose a street basemap; the neutral canvas works fully offline. Large text and screen readers (VoiceOver and TalkBack) supported. Read-only: GeoVya Reader displays files and does not edit them. Privacy policy: https://geovya.com/reader/privacy
