Auto Care Kit

I have tried just about every mileage / maintenance tracker in the App Store and this one has been my favorite. It’s simple enough to use consistently but full featured. I would like to see the option to go ad-free, but honestly the ads are not intrusive as it’s just a small portion on the bottom of the screen.

I had another app that was very complicated and didn’t sync between devices. I liked it ok. Then, I searched for another and added all of the data from the previous one. It was very complicated and didn’t save the data when I asked it to. I could never figure out how to make it work This is actually the fourth try, but three today. This is exactly what I wanted. Simple with a place to store important info in chronological order. I don’t need to be reminded about routine maintenance, but I do want every detail to be recorded…every issue that goes wrong, every fender bender. Thank you to Larry for reading my mind. Bu the way, I am using it for trailers and golf carts also.

This is right up there with all the others in this apps category. It does job but doesn’t stand out from the rest. I want an app like this to be more intuitive. The VIN number tells you everything you need to know about a car. Yet even though I enter in VIN I have to still say what make, model, year. That should get auto filled based on VIN. And this app is missing Trim and color which others have. Photos of car would also be nice. As far as maintenance records go. Me entering in check boxes is not good enough if you ever need to file an auto warranty or insurance claim. They want receipts. An option to take a photo scan, like “Office Lens” iOS app by Microsoft does, of receipts and attach to the service record would be ideal. And ability to dump out to PDF of all records with images of receipts for a date range to use with insurance or warranty claims would also be ideal! My quest for the ideal Auto maintenance tracker app is still on going. This app unfortunately doesn’t fill the need for me.
