Evolution of Auto Repair

Auto repair has come a long way, from manual workshops to modern high-tech service centers. Previously, maintaining internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles was relatively straightforward: mechanics used hand tools and basic diagnostic equipment for routine tasks like oil changes, filter replacements, and belt inspections.

However, the rise of electric and hybrid vehicles has drastically changed this landscape. These cars are equipped with complex systems—from electric batteries to inverters and energy recovery systems—requiring entirely new approaches to diagnostics and repair.

The introduction of advanced technologies like data management systems, AI, and machine learning has become critical to quickly and accurately analyzing the condition of all vehicle components. These systems not only detect malfunctions but also predict potential failures before they occur.

Under Oleksandr Stozhok's leading role, CARSTO AUTO SALES LLC has embraced these cutting-edge technologies, making it one of the leading auto services for electric vehicle (EV) repairs. By implementing battery monitoring systems, precise diagnostic programs, and restoration techniques, the company significantly reduces customer expenses and extends vehicle lifespans.

Oleksandr Stozhok is a highly qualified technical engineer and an active member of prestigious international engineering associations, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). As a Senior Member of IEEE, he contributes to the development of global standards for electric transportation and AI-integrated diagnostics in the U.S. automotive market. His MIET designation with IET allows him to collaborate with experts in the U.K., focusing on sustainable technologies that improve vehicle efficiency and safety.

In addition to his professional affiliations, Oleksandr has published influential research in leading engineering journals, contributing valuable insights into electric and hybrid vehicle technologies. His works often address battery restoration techniques and the environmental impact of hybrid systems, establishing him as a thought leader in the field.

Oleksandr has also showcased his expertise at international exhibitions and conferences, presenting innovative solutions for automotive challenges. Furthermore, he has served as a jury member for prominent competitions like the Globee® Awards and the Innovation Time Award, evaluating technological innovations and their impact. His involvement in these events highlights his authority and influence in advancing the automotive industry's transition towards sustainability and technological innovation.

As a recognized expert, Oleksandr's work has influenced the adoption of sustainable practices, emphasizing the importance of using AI and machine learning to optimize repairs and minimize downtime. He sees the future of auto repair as heavily reliant on these technologies, making services faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly.

The implementation of AI, machine learning, and specialized software has taken EV diagnostics to a new level. These technologies enable real-time analysis by collecting data from sensors across critical vehicle components, from batteries to inverters. This allows the detection of minor deviations in electrical system performance before they escalate into major issues.

Oleksandr Stozhok actively utilizes these technologies, ensuring precise diagnostics and accurate prediction of potential malfunctions. One of the most effective tools is battery monitoring, a software that tracks charge levels, cell health, and the overall electrical circuit performance. This approach not only improves diagnostics but also helps clients avoid costly repairs.

Additionally, machine learning technologies play a pivotal role. These systems "learn" from historical data on vehicle maintenance, enabling the identification of common issues in new vehicles. This significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy, reducing repair times as mechanics can focus directly on likely problems rather than engaging in time-consuming troubleshooting.

Moreover, the integration of data management in service processes allows repair shops to predict when battery replacements or other component updates are needed. This ensures timely maintenance and prevents unexpected breakdowns, minimizing the risk of major repairs in the future.

One of the most important developments in auto services has been the automation of diagnostics and inventory management. AI-powered solutions employed by Stozhok streamline service operations while eliminating unnecessary costs. Predictive maintenance, based on machine learning, reduces the likelihood of unexpected failures, which is particularly crucial for hybrids and EVs.

Introducing these new technologies not only improves service quality but also contributes to reducing carbon footprints. Battery restoration, a practice championed at CARSTO AUTO, significantly decreases the amount of waste associated with battery replacements.
