There are plenty of apps out there that can actually help
you with your own car maintenance. They don’t actually do the work (not yet
anyway), but remind you when you need work done and help you keep track of what
has happened.
This
app is all about detail. You will load the basic info for your car such as the
make, model, year and mileage and then you will need to add oil and oil
preference as well as tire specs and air filter preference. You will log all
activity that is relevant to your car which includes filling up the tank as
well as major repairs. All this data comes in handy when you do need work done
or maintenance, but the app has one issue: it doesn’t remind you of scheduled
services.
For $2.99, this app will
help you keep track of mileage for fuel efficiency and cost as well as for work
tracking. It will let you log all your services and, best of all, remind you
when a new one is needed. The reminders are based on the info you put into it
but it will remind you of all regular services including oil change, tire
rotation, alignment, filter change, fluid flush, brake pads and timing belt
replacement. It will also remind you about car registration, part numbers for
your car, and phone numbers for your mechanic.
Most tech-gurus give this
app the highest grade, an “A” because it features all the essentials that the
others above have but also gives your quick reference to your scheduled
maintenance and displays the information compared to all other maintenance
essentials. For example, your brake pads need to be changed, and the graphic is
red and down below it, your timing belts are yellow. So, you can change both at
the same time rather than making another trip later.
This is
a basic and free app that will teach you what you need to know when it comes to
basics for your car. This app is for anyone who doesn’t know how to check
engine oil, and coolant.
