Car Maintenance Log: a fuel, service and reminder record for every vehicle you own

A useful maintenance app needs three things in one place: a fuel log that produces a real MPG number, a service history tied to the odometer reading at the time, and reminders that work off mileage rather than just a calendar date. Car Maintenance Log - Service covers all three: 14 service job types, a fuel log with an automatic economy calculator, and mileage-or-time reminders with on-track, due-soon and overdue status. It is free for one vehicle on iOS and Android.

You record the volume and odometer reading at each fill-up and mark which ones were full tanks. Car Maintenance Log then works out the distance covered and the fuel used between two full tanks to produce MPG, or L/100km if you use kilometers. Because the number comes from your own logged fill-ups rather than a manufacturer estimate, it reflects how you actually drive that vehicle.

Yes, as a Pro feature. You set a reminder by mileage, by months, or both — for example every 5,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. Recording the matching service resets the reminder from that date and mileage, and the home screen shows its status as on track, due soon or overdue with the miles or days remaining, plus a notification when it becomes due.

The free version covers one vehicle with unlimited fuel and service entries, fuel economy, full history and spending totals. Pro removes that limit, so a household with a car and a truck, or a commuter car and a weekend vehicle, can keep each one's mileage, service history and reminders completely separate under one account.

Fourteen built-in types are ready to pick: oil change, tire rotation, tire replacement, brakes, inspection, registration, battery, coolant, air filter, transmission, wiper blades, alignment and car wash, plus a custom label for anything else. Each entry stores the date, odometer reading, cost, shop or mechanic, and notes, and you can edit or delete any past entry.

Yes, as a Pro feature. You can export the full service and fuel record of any vehicle as a CSV file, which is useful for handing a complete history to a mechanic doing a pre-purchase inspection, dropping it into a spreadsheet, or giving a buyer proof of how the vehicle was maintained.

Yes. The free version covers one vehicle with unlimited repair and fill-up entries, fuel economy calculation, full history and spending totals, and shows ads. Car Maintenance Log Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription that adds unlimited vehicles, mileage-or-time maintenance reminders with notifications, CSV export, and removes ads.

No. Car Maintenance Log - Service is a personal record keeper, not a substitute for a qualified mechanic's inspection. It tracks what work was done, what it cost and what is due next based on your own mileage and service history — for an actual mechanical problem, always consult a professional mechanic.

The app works in miles or kilometers and the currency you choose, so the fuel economy calculation and cost totals match how you actually measure distance and spend. Switching units does not require starting a new vehicle record.

The core logging — adding vehicles, fuel fill-ups and service jobs, viewing history and the fuel economy calculation — works on your phone without needing a live connection for every entry, since each vehicle's data is tied to its own record. An internet connection is only relevant for downloading the app, receiving reminder notifications and future updates.
