I’ve been using the CarFAX Car Care app/website for a long time but I’m looking for something better.

It would be nice to have something I can enter my car make/model into and have it suggest maintenance but also keep track of repairs. I like uploading PDF scans of receipts too; one thing that always bothered me about Car Care is the horrible, weird compression it does on those files.

    At the risk of sounding like an oaf I just use an excel document, and these days I just keep it in nextcloud and edit it via a browser while in the driveway. Each car gets a sheet. Keeping it simple.

      I mean if it ain’t broke don’t fix it lmao we manage oil maintenance on our vehicles the same way, we have a wooden board at the back of the garage and we use a Sharpie to draw on that wooden board the mileage of the last oil change for each vehicle

      That’s my method as well. That and a folder to hold all the receipts. When I sell the car, I print out the spreadsheet and then trash the receipts.
