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.
I’ve been using aCar for over a decade. It’s owned by Fuelly now, but all the cloud stuff is optional.
I keep track of my mileage, fuel, maintenance, etc. I can take pictures of receipts, make notes, etc. It’s pretty easy, and I can save local backups of the data or have it sync to Dropbox or onedrive.
Haven’t used it, just know it exists.
For what it’s worth, you can replace the name in most locations: https://docs.lubelogger.com/Replacing The Logo.
Ahhh, I’d love it if I could tie that in with a Bluetooth OBD dongle and Home Assistant. It’d be awesome if I could set up a BLE proxy in my carport to automatically update stuff. It’d be especially handy if I could get alerted about check engine codes.
I would love one that would work for a fleet of vehicles/equipment, and had a webapp/android/ios interface. We have about 40 pieces of equipment and vehicles that we need to keep track of. If the phone apps had a connection to a bluetooth OBD dongle to update the odo or hourmeter, that would be pretty dope too.
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.
for receipts and such paperless ngx is good. that won’t track your repairs or inform of you of likely maintenance problems, but that and a spread sheet sounds like a good start.
