💡 SaaS Idea: VINGuardian — car maintenance + recall tracker with smart reminders
Hybrid mobile app where you scan your VIN to auto-pull recalls, TSBs, and maintenance schedules (NHTSA + OEM), track services, store receipts, forecast costs, and get shop quotes. Multi-vehicle and family sharing with exportable service history.
Platform: mobile
Why it's a good idea?
1. Problem & Audience Signals
- Dozens of recent Reddit threads ask for “car maintenance tracker app”, “vehicle maintenance app”, “recall reminder app”, etc. (r/Autos, r/AutoRepair, r/MechanicAdvice, r/Cartalk, r/ios, r/Ioniq5, r/foss). Each thread attracts 20-60 comments debating the best solution — clear pain-point.
- Typical complaints: existing apps are clunky, don’t import VIN data, no family-sharing, or only track oil changes. Posters explicitly request automatic recall/TSB alerts and exportable service history — exactly VINGuardian’s pitch.

=> At least one generic, non-branded keyword above the 500-search threshold with low difficulty (“car maintenance app”). Several long-tails <500 but also easy to rank/advertise on....
