Vehicle-specific repair database (e.g., 2TR-FE engine)
Prioritized checklist from cheapest to most invasive fix
Mechanic locator with reviews for recommended shops

Target Users: DIY vehicle owners and shade-tree mechanics with older vehicles (2010-2020 models) in cold climates

Revenue Model: $4.99 per diagnostic report or $9.99/mo subscription with unlimited reports
