1. A system, comprising:
- a modular device with a wireless communication port for establishing a communication with a mobile device, and a connector for coupling the modular device to a vehicle'"'"'s Diagnostic Link Connector to transmit and receive data from the vehicle'"'"'s controllers;
a mobile application that is installed and executed on the mobile device'"'"'s operating system;
a Cloud Service that comprises one or more database, Application Program Interfaces (APIs), Business Logic, and an intelligent learning engine, where the Cloud Service is connected to third party services including push notifications, short messages and automated call services;
wherein the modular device receives requests from the mobile application to collect the vehicle'"'"'s data and transmits the data collected from the vehicle to the mobile application;
wherein the Cloud Service triggers the mobile application at a specified interval to initiate data collection from the vehicle;
wherein the mobile application sends the data collected from the modular device to the Cloud Service and the Could Service analyzes the data, stores the data and generates a message if the data matches a rule defined in the Cloud Service or by vehicle'"'"'s driver; and
wherein the Cloud Service sends the messages to the mobile application through a push notification service and the mobile application alerts the vehicle'"'"'s driver.

Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method and system for collecting and evaluating powered vehicle'"'"'s status utilizing vehicle'"'"'s on-board diagnostic, controllers, time and location. The present disclosure creates one or more databases where identifiable behavior or evaluative characteristics can be analyzed or categorized to inform, alert and assist the driver with voice assistance to avoid or fix specific issues. The evaluation can include prediction for future events. The database can be correlated or evaluated with other databases for a wide variety of uses.
