Car service history connected with real costs

A useful service history answers four questions: when the work was done, at what mileage, what the workshop changed and how much it cost. The invoice stays with that event instead of disappearing into a folder.

  • Keep each repair connected with its date, odometer, work and invoice.
  • Date, mileage, work performed and cost explain what happened at each visit.
  • Invoices and reminders keep past work connected with the next due action.

Details worth saving after a workshop visit

Memory rarely preserves the exact mileage, parts and labour from an old repair. A service entry keeps those details beside the invoice and the vehicle that received the work.

  • date and odometer at the workshop
  • work performed, parts and total cost
  • invoice or photo attached to the matching entry

See how service changes the ownership cost

Service is often less frequent than fuel but much more expensive. Keeping workshop costs beside mileage shows which month was exceptional and whether one repair has started to repeat.

Keep the invoice with the repair

Free keeps photo attachments locally on the device. Premium can synchronize photos, PDFs and other supported files, with 500 MB of server attachment storage.

Turn completed work into the next reminder

After saving the completed work, add the next interval from the vehicle manufacturer’s guidance. The record then explains both what was done and what should be checked next.
