Track your vehicle's service history, upcoming maintenance, and costs in a simple, searchable log.
Step-by-step guide
6 steps
- 1
List the services you want to track
Common entries: oil changes, tyre rotations, brake inspections, fluid top-ups, MOT/annual inspections, and repairs. Decide if you track by mileage or time.
- 2
Describe the log to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build a car maintenance log with service entries (date, service type, mileage at service, cost, mechanic/garage, notes), upcoming services (due mileage or date), and a total spend dashboard."
- 3
Enter your vehicle details
Add your car (make, model, year, VIN, current mileage). If you track multiple vehicles, add one profile per car.
- 4
Log past services
Enter recent services from your records or memory. Include the date, what was done, and the cost. The historical record becomes useful when selling or diagnosing issues.
- 5
Set up upcoming service reminders
Add entries for services due in the next 6-12 months: "Oil change due at 75,000 miles" or "Annual inspection due in March 2027". The dashboard surfaces what is coming up.
- 6
Update after each service
After every visit to the mechanic, add a new entry. Over time, you build a complete service history that protects your car's resale value.
