Car Management

Overview​

Each member can add multiple cars to their personal garage. One car can be marked as primary — used for event applications and the leaderboard car rating.

Workflow​

Step-by-Step: Add a Car​

  1. Log in and navigate to Garage (/garage).
  2. Click "Add Car".
  3. Fill in the form:
    • Make (e.g., Renault, Dacia, Alpine)
    • Model (e.g., Clio, Sandero)
    • Year
    • License Plate / Registration Number
    • Mileage
    • Color (optional)
  4. Click "Save".
  5. The car appears in your garage.

Step-by-Step: Set Primary Car​

  1. In your garage, find the car you want to mark as primary.
  2. Click the "★ Set as Primary" button on the car card.
  3. The primary badge appears on the selected car.
  4. Only one car can be primary at a time — changing primary updates the previous one.

Security Notes​

  • Ownership enforced via SpEL: @garageSecurityService.isOwner(carId, auth) — accessing another user's car returns 403.
  • All car operations require authentication (ROLE_USER minimum).
  • Deleting a car also removes associated maintenance alerts.

  • Set car as primary → primary badge shown, previous primary unmarked
  • Delete car → removed from garage
