# TemplateVault

> TemplateVault (https://templatevault.io) is a VIN-based vehicle records platform and AI-powered SaaS for DIY auto owners and independent repair shops. Every oil change, repair, and inspection is anchored to a vehicle's 17-character VIN, creating a permanent, searchable service history. The platform layers AI tools on top of those records: a free repair-cost estimator, vehicle intelligence reports (recalls, known failure points, maintenance schedules), pre-purchase inspection analysis, an AI work-order narrator, an AI inspection summarizer, and a Shop Pro AI Wiring Assistant with I-CAR-referenced repair guidance.

## What TemplateVault is

TemplateVault helps two audiences keep accurate, VIN-anchored vehicle records:

- **DIY owners and used-car buyers** use free AI tools to estimate repair costs, check recalls and known issues, run pre-purchase inspections, and track maintenance and IRS-deductible mileage.
- **Independent and small auto shops** use a VIN-aware CRM to create work orders, generate 80+ repair and shop forms, track service history per vehicle, and sync with QuickBooks and FreshBooks. Shop Pro adds the AI Wiring Assistant and I-CAR-referenced electrical diagnostics.

AI synthesis is clearly labeled wherever it is used. A direct OEM data pipeline is in active development.
