Keep track of your car maintenance

Car Care: Maintenance Tracker is a free car maintenance app for iPhone that reminds you when service is due and keeps each car's service history, fuel log, trips and costs. Reminders come by mileage or by time, whichever comes first. Every feature is included, with no subscription, in-app purchases or ads.

Scan the receipt your mechanic gave you and Car Care turns it into a service record. With trip detection on, each drive adds its distance to the odometer, so your mileage reminders stay accurate without you typing in an odometer reading.

What Car Care does for each of your cars

Car Care's features work together, so routine car upkeep takes little typing.

  • Maintenance reminders

    Service reminders tell you when any of the 36 built-in maintenance items is due, from engine oil, brakes and tires to inspection, registration and insurance renewals. Each renewal keeps its policy or inspection report.
  • Receipt scanning

    Receipt scanning reads a printed or handwritten receipt, or its PDF, down to every job and its price. After a service visit, one scan brings the car's service history, reminders and costs up to date.
  • Service history

    The service history keeps each visit with its date, mileage, service center and jobs, and the receipt stays attached.
  • Trip log

    With trip detection on, the trip log records each drive with its route, distance and driving time.
  • Fuel log

    Enter each fill-up in the fuel log to see your fuel economy in MPG or L/100 km and what you spend on fuel.
  • Car costs

    Your car's costs add up per month, per year and overall, and a 12-month chart splits them by maintenance category and fuel. Every fill-up, service and renewal you log counts toward what the car costs to run.
  • Multiple cars

    Add as many cars as you own, and each keeps its own records, reminders and costs.
  • Data and privacy

    Your records stay on your iPhone and sync through your own private iCloud, and Car Care needs no account.

Who Car Care is made for

  • Drivers who want oil change and service reminders from a free app, without paying a subscription.
  • Households with several cars, each with its own service history and cost total.
  • Owners of hybrid, electric and diesel cars, with maintenance items for each powertrain.
  • Anyone replacing a spreadsheet or paper logbook with a digital service book that reminds them when service is due.

Where paper or a spreadsheet is the better choice, a side-by-side comparison says so.
