Every service, every mile.
One car maintenance record.
Oil changes on the odometer, fluid flushes on the calendar, tires as parts with their positions and pressures — and a service history worth showing the day you sell. Cars, trucks and motorcycles.

WHY DRIVERS AND RIDERS USE IT
A service history that holds its resale value
Running like new is a schedule kept. Oil and filter at 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Tires rotated every 6,000 so all four wear evenly. Engine and cabin air filters yearly. Brake fluid at 24 months, before it absorbs water and loses its boiling point. Coolant at 60. Registration each year. Add your own — a detailing season, the fluid you prefer — and every record carries the odometer and the receipt. Years of that and the history becomes the asset: export the vehicle, photos included, and the care is visible to anyone who asks.
WHAT YOU TRACK
A service history in plain vehicle words
Pick the automotive type and the app drops the aviation vocabulary entirely — services and service records, not squawks and tach time.
- The thing
- VehicleGrouped into your Garage, each with its own make, model, year and VIN.
- Something is wrong
- IssuesA fault, a noise, a warning light — logged with a photo and a priority, tagged to the part that has it.
- Something recurs
- ServicesOil changes, brake service and other scheduled work, due on miles or on months.
- Something was done
- Service recordsWhat was done, by whom, at what odometer reading — with the invoice attached.
- Who did it
- MechanicsYour shop, your ASE-certified tech, or you in the driveway.
- What it is made of
- PartsThe engine, and each tire with its position and normal PSI.
Recalls and TSBs are yours to record against the vehicle — a place to keep what the manufacturer has told you, alongside the work you have actually had done.
STARTER SCHEDULE
The maintenance schedule, already filled in
Add a vehicle and these come with it. Keep them, change the intervals to match your manual, or turn off the ones that do not apply.
| Service | Comes due | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil & filter | 5,000 mi or 6 months | Whichever comes first. Check the manual for the oil grade and the interval that applies to your engine. |
| Tire rotation | 6,000 mi | Evens out wear across all four tires. Cars and trucks only. |
| Engine air filter | 12 months | Sooner on dusty roads; a clogged filter costs power and fuel. |
| Cabin air filter | 12 months | Keeps the ventilation clean. Cars and trucks only. |
| Brake fluid flush | 24 months | Brake fluid absorbs water over time and loses its boiling point. |
| Coolant flush | 60 months | Long-life coolants run further — confirm the interval in the manual. |
| Registration renewal | 12 months | Annual in most places; adjust to your state or province. |
| Chain lube & adjustmentOff by default | 500 mi | Motorcycles with a chain final drive. Sooner after rain. |
Recommendations, not authority — your owner’s manual wins every time, and every interval here is editable. Anything it does not cover is a service you add: a detailing season, a track-day check, the fluid you prefer.
ODOMETER
Miles or months, whichever comes first
One meter that matters
The odometer. You log it as you go, and every service record keeps the reading it was taken at — so the history is mileage-stamped rather than a list of dates. The dashboard shows the current reading and how many records the vehicle has.
Reminders before it lapses
A service recurs on miles, on months, or on whichever lands first — the way the manual actually writes it. Due-soon and overdue reminders arrive before the date, and anything that puts the vehicle off the road sits at the top of the list.
SETTING ONE UP
What it asks for, and nothing it does not
The vehicle
Make, model, year and VIN. Nothing else is required — a bike with no VIN plate and a 1972 project car both fit.
What hangs off it
The engine, and the tires as a set: each one with its position — front left through spare — and its normal PSI, so the pressure you are meant to run is recorded where you will look for it.
Does it work for motorcycles as well as cars?
Yes — one vehicle type covers both. The starter schedule includes chain lube and adjustment for chain final drive, and marks the services that are cars and trucks only, so you keep what applies and turn off what does not.
Can a service come due on miles instead of a date?
Yes. A service recurs on the odometer, on calendar time, or on whichever comes first — an oil change at 5,000 miles or 6 months behaves the way the manual describes it.
Can I keep more than one vehicle?
Yes. Every vehicle is its own record with its own odometer, parts and schedule, grouped into your Garage. The car, the truck and the bike each keep their own history.
Can I prove the service history when I sell?
Export the vehicle and you get a ZIP with its full history as a PDF, a CSV and a spreadsheet, with every receipt and photo you attached. Each service record carries the date and the odometer reading it was logged at.
EVERYTHING ELSE YOU OWN
The garage is not the only thing with a schedule
One account, one app. Each type brings its own vocabulary, meters and starter schedule.
