Vehicle Service Log
Log car services with mileage, cost and next-due date.
Overview
The Vehicle Service Log records oil changes, tire rotations, brake jobs, and other car services with mileage, cost, and the next-due date. A consistent log is the difference between a car that lasts 200,000 miles and one that quietly slides into a string of expensive surprises. It also boosts resale value: a clean service history is one of the first things a buyer asks for.
Each entry captures the date, mileage, service type, cost, garage or shop, and optional notes. You can also set a next-due mileage or date so the tool flags upcoming services. The log is sorted chronologically with the most recent entry on top, and totals roll up so you can see what the car costs you each year.
How it works
Add an entry by selecting the service type, entering the date and mileage at the time of service, and noting the cost. If the service has a known interval, set the next-due mileage or date so the upcoming-work view stays accurate. The log groups by vehicle if you track more than one car.
Editing entries is straightforward, and removing duplicates is a single click. The whole log sits in your browser's local storage, so it travels with the device and stays private.
Examples
- An oil change at 45,000 miles costing $65, next due at 50,000.
- A four-tire rotation logged with no cost beyond a tip at the shop.
- A brake pad replacement with the parts and labour itemised in the notes.
- An annual safety inspection with the next due date one year out.
FAQ
Does it support multiple vehicles?
Yes, group entries by vehicle so each car gets its own clean history and upcoming-service list.
Can I export the log for a resale buyer?
Use your browser's print or save-as-PDF feature to produce a portable service record.
Does it remind me when services are due?
It highlights upcoming and overdue services when you open the page, but does not send notifications.
Should I include DIY work?
Yes, log oil changes you do yourself; the date and mileage matter regardless of who turned the wrench.
Where is the data stored?
