Curated tiles for the 20 most common services — oil, tires, brakes, coolant, transmission, plugs, filters, alignment, battery — plus a searchable full catalog with auto-fill defaults.
Carfax-style history grouped by year, with verified-by-chip-tap badges, photos, costs, and the shop that did the work. Filter by service category in one tap.
Every entry can include the price, the shop / mechanic, parts used, and notes. Aggregate cost-of-ownership chart shows lifetime spend at a glance.
Snap the receipt, the worn brake pad, the bottle of fluid you used, the sticker on the windshield. They live attached to the entry forever.
Branded service packet with cover page, full timeline, photos, costs, and open recalls. Hand it to a buyer, an insurance adjuster, or a shop foreman.
"Hey Siri, log oil change on the F-150." Custom Siri Shortcuts and Google Routines hit signed deep links — no extra app, no menu surfing, hands-free.
Reminders, recall ribbon, OBD-II Bluetooth, and the new check-engine code library — together they turn maintenance from reactive to scheduled.
Set "every 5,000 mi" or "every 6 months" — or accept the OEM intervals we pre-fill from the VIN decode. Push notifications fire the morning of, on every device you've installed Chip.IT.
NHTSA campaign data is auto-checked on every vehicle. Open recalls show as a pulsing ribbon at the top of the page with the campaign name, the fix, and a one-tap "I've handled this".
Pair a $20 ELM327 dongle and Chip.IT pulls VIN, odometer, distance-since-clear, and any active DTCs. "Sync now" updates current mileage and logs / resolves codes automatically.
Type any P-code (P0420, P0171, …) into the DTC tool and we surface the plain-English meaning, common causes, urgency, and recommended next steps — no Reddit dive required.
Paste any 17-character VIN (or scan it with the camera using the native barcode reader) and we auto-fill year, make, model, trim, engine, transmission, drivetrain — straight from NHTSA vPIC.
Dashboard shows what each vehicle needs RIGHT NOW — registration expiring, recall open, mileage stale, photo missing — and a celebratory all-clear when you've nailed it.
Family cars, fleet trucks, friend's bike — Chip.IT handles real-world ownership.
Invite your spouse, your kid, your business partner by email. Each gets editor or read-only access to specific vehicles — service log + reminders on every device.
Selling? Transfer the vehicle + chip + history to the buyer's account in three taps. They get every record, every photo, every receipt. You stop getting their reminders.
Flip a stolen vehicle to "report" mode. Anyone who taps the chip — at a parts store, a buyer's driveway, an impound lot — sees a public recovery page with the police report number and your contact info.
Floating "Garages" switcher chip on every page. Personal, work, dealership inventory, family fleet — keep them logically separate but one tap apart.
Two layers: a PIN to even open the app, and a separate PIN to authorize edits. So a chip tap from a stranger always opens read-only.
Every record carries a badge: chip-tap-verified, OBD-II auto-logged, VIN-decoded, manually entered. Buyers and insurance adjusters see provenance at a glance.
Progressive Web App means it installs to your home screen with one tap, runs full-screen, and works offline at the back of the shop.

Theme toggle in the topbar. Splash Studio lets you upload your shop logo, your project car, your kid's drawing — pick the entrance animation and lighting effect.
