Automotive apps • telemetry • diagnostics • closed testing

Practical vehicle apps for telemetry, diagnostics, tuning, and maintenance.

ShoddyTechGarage LLC is a builder-focused product hub for real Android vehicle workflows (Vortec 4200 centric): launcher tools, diagnostics, audio tuning, and maintenance tracking built around real devices and real vehicles.

Start with the projects if you are new here. Join testing if you already want access to the current closed-testing tracks.

Proof Real screenshots from current builds

The public site shows actual product screens instead of generic mockups or concept renders.

Access Closed testing is active now

The apps are already being shared with testers instead of sitting as roadmap-only ideas.

Fit Built for real Android hardware

Phones, tablets, head units, and odd in-car environments are part of the actual design target.

Credibility Public timelines stay visible

The Dev Hub and update pages keep release history and technical progress easy to verify.

Hero products

ShoddyDrive is the primary product. ShoddyScan (including MicroTune) and ShoddyHub (Hardware) are the second-tier hero lanes. The rest of the stack supports those core tracks.

Primary product

ShoddyDrive

Driver-facing launcher track for readable telemetry, quick route/media context, and head-unit-friendly in-car layouts.

Closed testing Beta build Telemetry In-car UI

Best if you want a cleaner driver-facing Android experience with live data and fast access to useful vehicle controls.

See ShoddyDrive

Secondary hero

ShoddyScan

Diagnostics lane for transport-aware live data, assistant-supported analysis, and safer MicroTune workflow boundaries.

Closed testing Alpha build Diagnostics MicroTune

Best if you care about adapter behavior, session stability, and deeper diagnostics beyond a generic code reader.

See ShoddyScan

Secondary hero

ShoddyHub (Hardware)

Hardware research lane covering host platforms, interface quality, bench validation, and safer integration boundaries.

Research track LL8-first validation USB and Bluetooth Safety-first

Best if you want the physical architecture behind the software stack, including what is active, limited, and experimental.

See ShoddyHub

Supporting products

These lanes are important to the ecosystem, but they are supporting tracks rather than the primary hero products.

Supporting lane

ShoddyAudioLab

Audio lane for install-aware setup, fast daily adjustments, and deeper Builder Mode tuning when you need more control.

Closed testing Audio tuning Builder mode

Best if you want a real-vehicle audio workflow that scales from quick tune changes to more deliberate install-aware tuning.

See ShoddyAudioLab

Supporting lane

ShoddyMaintenance

Maintenance lane for build-aware setup, service history, quick mods, and ownership records that stay useful over time.

Closed testing Initial release build Maintenance Ownership history

Best if you want maintenance records tied to the actual vehicle instead of a generic reminder list with no build context.

See ShoddyMaintenance

Supporting lane

ShoddyBuild

Build-planning lane for project timelines, parts tracking, task boards, spend visibility, and export-ready records.

Preview track Project planning Parts and costs

Best if you want one lane for project history, install notes, waiting-on-parts work, and budget visibility.

See ShoddyBuild

Proof from current builds

A representative screen from each core or preview track keeps the homepage grounded in real software instead of abstract promises.

ShoddyDrive dashboard

Telemetry, route context, and media controls laid out for quick in-vehicle reading.

ShoddyScan health trends

Health trend summaries and reliability cues show ShoddyScan is built around real diagnostics workflows, not a generic scan screen.

ShoddyAudioLab dashboard

Workspace mode, preset selection, and Quick Tune controls laid out for fast in-vehicle tuning without hiding deeper builder tools.

ShoddyMaintenance vehicle setup

ShoddyMaintenance starts with real vehicle setup, build context, and maintenance model choices instead of a generic service log template.

ShoddyBuild projects

ShoddyBuild keeps project setup, timeline history, parts tracking, tasks, and export-ready build records in one shell.

Why it matters

This stack is aimed at real ownership workflows, not isolated feature demos.

Who it is for

Daily drivers who want a cleaner in-car interface with quick access to useful vehicle information.
Android head-unit and tablet users working around awkward hardware, screen sizes, and rough in-vehicle Android environments.
Builders (Vortec 4200 centric) who want telemetry, diagnostics, audio tuning, maintenance history, build planning, and future hardware expansion to feel connected instead of scattered.

Why the site feels different

The projects are already in closed testing instead of being pure concept pages.
Each track has real screenshots, real update history, and a visible technical trail.
The platform is being shaped around practical automotive use instead of generic mobile-app assumptions.
