Vehiclez is the project-car app for DIY gearheads. Plan a build phase by phase, log every part and dollar, and radio an AI mechanic that knows your car — and can edit your build plan when you say so.

// 01 / The Garage
Roll in your project cars — year, make, model, VIN. Decode the VIN against NHTSA, surface active recalls, and keep notes, goals, and budget in one place.
// 02 / Build Plans
Break a build down the way a shop would: phases roll up to the goal, assemblies group the work, steps move from queued to done. Tasks and parts live inside the plan — not on a separate list to forget about.
// 03 / AI Mechanic
Chat with an assistant that already knows your car. Ask for a wiring diagnosis, a torque spec, or a swap plan — it can also draft new phases and steps and slot them into your plan, with your approval on every write.
// 04 / Receipts
Log every part with price and source, attach build photos, and clock work sessions against tasks. The build history pays you back the next time the question is "wait, when did I do that?"
// 05 / MCP-Native
The same tools the in-app mechanic uses are exposed over an OAuth-secured Model Context Protocol endpoint. Use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client to query and edit your garage.
// 06 / Dark-Native
Square corners, oil-black backgrounds, rust accents, JetBrains Mono. No friendly-tech-startup gloss. Built to look right next to a torque wrench, not a wellness app.
01
Open shop with email or Google. Free tier — no card, no hassle.
02
Add a car. Decode the VIN. Check recalls. The shop knows what it is looking at.
03
Spin up phases for the goal. Drop assemblies under each phase. Steps under each assembly. Done means done.
04
Ask the assistant for a plan, a spec, or a part. Approve any edits it wants to make to your build. Keep wrenching.

Vehiclez is a build-planning and maintenance app for DIY car enthusiasts. You manage a garage of project cars, plan builds as a phase / assembly / step tree, log parts and receipts, and chat with an AI mechanic that knows your specific car.
It is a Claude-powered assistant with full context on the car you have selected. It can explain parts, draft procedures, suggest specs, and propose edits to your build plan — adding phases, assemblies, steps, or parts. Every write is gated by an explicit approve-or-deny step inside the app.
Yes. Your garage, build plans, and conversations are tied to your account and not shared with other users. Authentication uses JWT access and refresh tokens; secrets and tokens are stored in the platform secure store on native and in localStorage on web.
There is a free tier with the full garage and build planner plus 10 AI mechanic messages. The paid plan is $20 / month for unlimited mechanic chat and remote MCP access. Cancel any time.
Yes. Vehiclez is built on Expo (React Native) and ships to iOS, Android, and the web from a single codebase. The web build is what you would use today; native installs follow the same flows.
MCP is the Model Context Protocol. Vehiclez exposes its build-plan tools through an OAuth-secured MCP endpoint, which means clients like Claude Desktop or Claude Code can read and edit your garage with your permission — same tools the in-app mechanic uses.
Yes. Parts attach to the step they belong to, with price and source. Photos attach to the build. Work sessions clock real time against tasks so you have an honest picture of where the hours went.
No. Vehiclez is built for the gearhead in the garage on a Saturday — first build, tenth build, doesn't matter. The mechanic assistant fills in the spec lookup and the procedural detail.
Free to start. 10 mechanic messages on the house. Bring your own car.
