Anyone like an app for keeping track of routine maintenance?

Carfax has an app. I think some of the self reported maintenance can show up on some carfax reports

I'm old school and still stick oil change stickers on the windshield since I run different intervals than what the computer expects

Owners manual log. Save receipts in a file folder, especially if you wanna sell it private vs trade in.

I use https://lubelogger.com/ but it is open source, you have to host it yourself.

I went down this rabbit hole a few years ago, and I use the paid version of fuelly. I believe it's eight dollars a year. I logged my mileage, maintenance, and can snap a picture of receipts.

LOL what a problem to have.

I have three vehicles, and it's stressful when all three converge on an oil change alert or tire rotation alert. I can't imagine dealing with that 3-4x over. Labor of love.

I tried to get set up as a "shop" with them to avoid that hassle but couldn't ever get through the process fully. It'd be really nice to get self maintenance to show up on Carfax reports consistently.

It basically allows carfax to act as a virus to crawl your data and get VIN numbers and certain keywords for service that it thinks /interprets that the shop did. Sometimes very poorly too.

For example if it says "tech removed right front tire and checked ball joints for wear and damage to boot". It will say "right front tire replaced" incorrectly. Along with something about tie rods. A regular person would think that the guy hit a curb or something.
