Every oil change, every repair, every inspection — tied to your VIN and in your pocket.
Whether you're a DIYer logging your own work, an owner keeping records straight,
or a shop that wants customers to trust you for life — TemplateVault is the vehicle's permanent memory.
You did the timing belt yourself. You know you did it right. But three years from now, will you remember the mileage? Will whoever buys this truck?
You've got receipts in the glove box, a folder on the counter, and a shop that closed two years ago. When your mechanic asks what's been done — you guess.
Self-employed? Track business miles for your IRS deduction — right alongside your vehicle records.
Your customer leaves and their history goes with them. The next shop starts from scratch. You never get credit for the work you did.
You drive for work — deliveries, client visits, job sites. Every mile is a potential tax deduction. But you're logging it in a notes app, guessing at year-end, or not tracking it at all. The IRS wants mileage logs. TemplateVault keeps them — automatically, tied to your vehicle, ready for your accountant.
Search or scan your VIN. Log your work — or let your shop log it. Oil changes, tires, inspections, repairs, photos. It all lives on the vehicle record, not on a receipt or in someone else's software.
Every record is anchored to the vehicle — not the shop, not the owner.
DIY or shop-logged — inspections, repairs, photos, and dates all in one place.
Sell the car and hand over the full history. Visit a new shop and give them access. You're always in control.
Built for DIYers, owners, and shops — all on the same VIN.

All functions run as Firebase Cloud Functions. No server to maintain.
Shop Pro adds an AI Wiring Assistant that reads your VIN's circuit data and walks you through electrical fault trees — plus AI repair guidance with direct source links to I-CAR Repairability Technical Support (rts.i-car.com) so techs can verify against I-CAR. AI inference runs on Google Cloud Vertex AI with Claude as fallback. Outputs are clearly labeled AI-Assisted vs Source-Referenced. The direct OEM data pipeline is in active development.
Per-VIN circuit interpretation. Pick a complaint (no-crank, parasitic draw, lamp-out, CAN-bus, intermittent short) and the Assistant proposes the next test, the expected reading, and what each result implies. Snap a photo of the harness — OCR reads wire colors, connector labels & pin numbers off the picture for a more accurate assessment. Google Cloud Vertex AI with Claude fallback.
AI-generated mechanical and collision repair procedures with direct source links to I-CAR RTS so technicians can cross-check against I-CAR's published material. Outputs are clearly labeled AI-Assisted vs Source-Referenced.
OEM data pipeline in progress
AI-assisted ADAS calibration guidance (static vs dynamic, trigger conditions, equipment expected) and zone-based collision estimates (parts, labor hours, sectioning, calibration flag) — with I-CAR source links where I-CAR has published procedures.
OEM data pipeline in progress
Straight talk on Shop Pro: the AI Wiring Assistant is live today and runs on Google Cloud Vertex AI with Claude as fallback. I-CAR-related guidance is currently AI-assisted with cited I-CAR source links — we surface what I-CAR has published rather than republishing OEM data. The direct OEM data pipeline is in active development. We'd rather under-promise and ship than mislead a shop on a write-up.
