Smart Vehicle Setup

Enter a few details — AI fills in the rest.

When NHTSA data is missing — common with the Year/Make/Model path, imports, or older vehicles — Google Gemini fills the gaps: body type, fuel and powertrain, engine cylinders, and displacement. Estimated values are clearly marked as AI-estimated so you can confirm them, and they're never used silently in cost or advisor math. Your vehicle's type then tailors the service, accessory, and modification pickers — a motorcycle, truck, or EV sees the options that actually fit it.

  • AI completes missing specs from year, make, model & trim
  • Detects vehicle type and powertrain — car, truck, SUV, van, or motorcycle; gas, hybrid, or EV
  • AI-estimated values are clearly marked and never feed cost or advisor math unconfirmed
  • Only fills empty fields — your own entries are never overwritten
  • Service, accessory & modification options tailored to your vehicle type
  • Always falls back to manual entry
