App for logging maint/services.

[Nick_rp]

I'm going to start off by saying I'm not affiliated with this app, I just genuinely like it so much I wanted to share it.

Woke up this morning with a wild idea to look for an app to track service and maint.

I was using excell to track parts, part #s, service intervals etc and storing it in the cloud. And a notebook in my center console to log performed services, mileage/date, troubleshooting findings, note any quirks/issues I'm experiencing etc. (Sort of a personal carfax)

I found an app and I'm in love with it. It's called "aCar" made by "Fuelly", the guys who made that fuel consumption tracker. Figured i would share. I've spent most of my break periods at work today inputting part informations



Everytime I'm at the parts store, i forget what's what and spend 5-10 standing in an aisle googling capacitys, part numbers, bulbs or whatever. Learned the hard way the information stored in the part store computer is usually wrong.
2 clicks and I'm at my parts page now.

You can set service reminders, store important vehicle information, track fuel consumption, make notes etc



Anyway, if you guys are already caught up with the rest of the digital world, my bad but for those who are slow, like me, give it a try.

Cheers

ACar is great...if you have android. They have fuelly on iOS but it costs you monthly. I use AUTOsist. It’s pretty good but I did like aCar better.

I love acar. It's the only app I've ever paid extra for the "pro" version. Great way to keep track of mileage, but even better, upcoming maintenance. I copied my Charger's maintenance schedule from the owner's manual and use it all the time.

I use Car Minder. Like most of these apps, it depends on how well you keep up on inputting info.

Thanks for that great info. I will have to look it up and give it a try.

I just use the MyRam app to log my maintenance records. I may look into this also, it seems to have more information. Thanks.

It's nice to be able to track details. I've had to refer to the app quite a few times for my vin or plate number.

There is an issue with the app right now that whenever I try to edit the details of the truck the app crashes. I accidentally put crew cab instead of quad, so instead I wrote it in the notes at the bottom
