Haven't used it, just know it exists.
I'm running it. It's good. Tracks fuel mileage, PMs and repairs and can remind you of things either by time or mileage.
- Keeps track of taxes(registration, going fast tax, etc)
Lmao
Oh cool, this looks like something I'd really like. I've been using a paid Android app called Simply Auto which is excellent, but self hosting is more fun.
Ahhh, I'd love it if I could tie that in with a Bluetooth OBD dongle and Home Assistant. It'd be awesome if I could set up a BLE proxy in my carport to automatically update stuff. It'd be especially handy if I could get alerted about check engine codes.
Yeah, I’ve been looking for this as well. I’ve got a constant check engine light because the catalytic converter is dead, and that’s about the only thing on the car I don’t care about.
Looks great but that is not a good name for an application
For what it's worth, you can replace the name in most locations: https://docs.lubelogger.com/Replacing%20The%20Logo.
Where has that been all my life!
At the risk of sounding like an oaf I just use an excel document, and these days I just keep it in nextcloud and edit it via a browser while in the driveway. Each car gets a sheet. Keeping it simple.
That's my method as well. That and a folder to hold all the receipts. When I sell the car, I print out the spreadsheet and then trash the receipts.
I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it lmao we manage oil maintenance on our vehicles the same way, we have a wooden board at the back of the garage and we use a Sharpie to draw on that wooden board the mileage of the last oil change for each vehicle
I do something similar but with Grist
for receipts and such paperless ngx is good. that won't track your repairs or inform of you of likely maintenance problems, but that and a spread sheet sounds like a good start.
I would also be interested in such a thing. :)
I’m at the point where I want to just build it but it’s a matter of free time (I’m a full time web developer with a side business). Also, I wouldn’t know where to source car maintenance schedules.
Maybe an API of some sort. A quick search found michelins solution: https://ddi.michelin.com/en/preventive-maintenance-api/ and this one https://vehicledatabases.com/vehicle-maintenance-api
I would love one that would work for a fleet of vehicles/equipment, and had a webapp/android/ios interface. We have about 40 pieces of equipment and vehicles that we need to keep track of. If the phone apps had a connection to a bluetooth OBD dongle to update the odo or hourmeter, that would be pretty dope too.
I have a Bluetooth OBD-II scanner that works with Android/iOS but the app I use kind of sucks. Others I’ve found that claim to be something of a maintenance app suck as well.
Sometimes I wish I were an iOS developer.
I've been using aCar for over a decade. It's owned by Fuelly now, but all the cloud stuff is optional.
I keep track of my mileage, fuel, maintenance, etc. I can take pictures of receipts, make notes, etc. It's pretty easy, and I can save local backups of the data or have it sync to Dropbox or onedrive.
