I’ve been using the CarFAX Car Care app/website for a long time but I’m looking for something better.
It would be nice to have something I can enter my car make/model into and have it suggest maintenance but also keep track of repairs. I like uploading PDF scans of receipts too; one thing that always bothered me about Car Care is the horrible, weird compression it does on those files.

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.
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.
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
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.
