Anyone use an app to keep track?
 
Does anyone have a helpful app or something they use to keep track of the maintenance they do to their car? I know there's several ones out there but wanted to see what people thought :)

I've been using mysubaru.com

It's pretty basic and if I lose my phone won't lose my records.

I just keep everything in an Excel spreadsheet. Makes it nice and easy if I need a hard copy to just be able to print it without having to worry about whether an app has a print capability or not.

Google Drive spreadsheet.

How I keep track:

Fuelly: keep track of gas mileage for every fillup
Excel/Google Docs: tracking expenses + purchases
Binder: keeping copies of receipts
MySubaru.com: I only log on so I can get rid of the reminders that they keep emailing me

In reality, you use whatever tool(s) you are comfortable with. Receipts are a must if you do your own maintenance and care for your warranty coverage (and resell value of the car)...

Gas Cubby. It syncs your info via the cloud so you always have your data and you can have it on multiple devices. I make my wife input fuel data when she fills up. Good for tracking overall cost, too. I should probably put my insurance cost in there to get a true cost/mi.

This is what I use as well. Also keep a binder with all the receipts just incase they need proof.

mysubaru.com, but I also just write everything down that I do, and since I do not go to the dealer for oil changes , I keep every receipt.

App for android called "Car Maintenance Reminder".

The myCARFAX app is a very good method. It tracks service history, allows you to set your own intervals (or use the manufacturers ones), updates you with any new recalls, and more. Check it out! https://www.mycarfax.com/carmaintenanceapp
