Park a project. Log the work. Pull your crew in. VEHICLEZ is a build journal and crew floor for DIY gearheads — restoration, swap, daily-driver maintenance, anything on the lift. Your garage. Your builds. Your people. // THE GARAGE Add every car you're working on. Year, make, model, VIN, mileage — the whole VIN plate. One tap to switch which build you're tracking. // THE BUILD PLAN Break a project down the way it actually goes: ■ Phases — "Engine bay refresh," "Interior teardown" ■ Assemblies — "Cooling system," "Wiring harness" ■ Steps — the actual wrench-turning, with status, notes, parts, and photos ■ Parts — what you bought, what it cost, where it came from ■ Sessions — clock in, log what got done, clock out // THE CREW Add friends by username. Discover other gearheads and their builds. Get a feed of every wrench-turn, photo, and session log from your crew — no algorithm, no ads, no public likes treadmill. Just the people you actually wrench with, showing each other what they pulled off this week. // XP, STREAKS, BADGES Every session, every completed step, every part installed earns XP. Hold a streak by wrenching on a regular schedule. Pick up badges for milestones. Optional, but it keeps the momentum. // THE AI MECHANIC Chat with an AI mechanic that knows your specific car and your specific build plan. Ask diagnostic questions. Get torque specs. Plan a swap. The AI can also propose changes to your build plan — new phases, status updates, parts to order — and nothing touches your data until you tap Approve. Free tier: 10 AI messages to try it. Subscribe for unlimited. // WHO THIS IS FOR - Project-car owners deep in a build - Restorers tracking a years-long teardown - Daily-driver wrenchers who want one place for receipts and notes - Crews who want to see what their friends are wrenching on // WHAT THIS ISN'T Not a forum. Not OBD-II diagnostics. Not a marketplace. It's a shop floor for your builds — with your crew watching when you want them to. Built by a gearhead, for gearheads. Get under the car.
