Keep every oil change, tyre swap and repair in one dated list with odometer readings and costs, so your service history is complete when you need it.
Everything you add is saved in this browser only — no account, no server, no sync.
Keep a household's cars separate, each with its own history and totals.
Costs add up automatically, so you can see what the car actually costs to keep.
Record the next due date or mileage and see how close each service is.
Log the service while the receipt is still in your hand and the odometer is still in your head.
A car's service history is the closest thing it has to a medical record. Missing entries are the single most common reason a private sale gets negotiated down, and gaps in the record make it genuinely difficult to know whether a belt, fluid or filter is overdue. Keeping the log takes a minute per service and pays for itself the first time you sell.
Most wear-based maintenance is measured in distance. Recording the odometer at each service is what makes intervals meaningful.
The log tells you what happened; receipts prove it. Photographing them into a folder alongside this log is a good habit.
A steadily rising annual spend is one of the clearest signals that a car is approaching the end of its economic life.
Wiper blades, bulbs and air filters barely register individually, but they build the complete picture a buyer wants to see.
Questions about intervals, odometer readings and resale value.
Two reasons. It tells you what is actually due rather than what you vaguely remember, and a complete documented history measurably raises what a used car sells for.
Follow the interval in your owner's manual, since modern engines and synthetic oils vary widely. Many manufacturers specify somewhere between 10,000 and 25,000 km, or once a year for low-mileage cars.
Yes. Mileage-based intervals are far more meaningful than date-based ones for most maintenance, and a mileage history also documents the car's usage pattern for a future buyer.
The date, mileage, what was done and what it cost. Adding the garage name and any part numbers in the notes saves a lot of guesswork later.
