$c->stash->{generate_link_edit} = sub {
  my $vin = shift;
  $c->uri_for_action(
      '/auth/company/lot/vin/edit'
      , [
        $c->stash->{chained_company_id}
        , $c->stash->{chained_lot_id}
        , $vin
      ]
      , ()
  );
};

$c->stash->{generate_link_vehicle_add} = sub {
  $c->uri_for_action(
      '/auth/company/lot/inventory/add'
      , [
        $c->stash->{chained_company_id}
        , $c->stash->{chained_lot_id}
      ]
      , ()
  );
};

You should weaken the $c since that code will leak memory without
it. And yes, that's currently the best way to generate urls (that I can
think of anyway), although you can save some typing by using hash slices
instead.
