MyGarage: Car Maintenance Log

A car maintenance log and vehicle expense tracker in one: log every service, fill-up and expense — or photograph the receipt and MyGarage fills it in. Reminders for oil changes, tires, insurance and registration.

The rest of your car's paperwork is in a glovebox, two email threads and 400 photos. MyGarage puts it in one place: point your camera at a document and it files itself.

Registration, insurance, service invoices, inspection reports, warranties, loan contracts — photograph them once. MyGarage reads each one, figures out what it is, names it, tags it and drops it in the right folder. No typing.


WHAT IT PULLS OUT FOR YOU

Scan a service invoice and the work appears on your car's timeline — date, shop, mileage, what was replaced, what it cost. Scan a gas receipt and your fuel economy updates. Scan a tire and it reads the size, load and speed rating, and the DOT date. Scan a lease contract and the payment schedule fills itself in.

Enter your VIN once and the make, model, year, engine and factory equipment come back decoded.

Scan the dealer's service schedule and MyGarage works out what is due next from your mileage. Scan a vehicle history report — carVertical, Carfax, autoDNA — and the car's profile, its odometer history and its factory equipment list fill themselves in.


WHAT YOUR CAR ACTUALLY COSTS

Every receipt becomes a number you can see. Gas, service, insurance, parking, tolls, tires. Cost per mile, fuel economy over time, where the money went this year versus last.

Logging a fill-up is two taps at the pump. Partial fills are handled properly, so the MPG stays honest.

A parts receipt keeps its line items — oil, filters, wipers — instead of one lump sum. And a trip groups a whole journey: start one before the holiday and every fill-up, toll and parking fee joins it, with the total, the cost per mile and budget versus actual.


DATES YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS

Insurance renewal. Next inspection. Service due at 60,000 miles. Warranty expiration. Lease payment. MyGarage figures these out from your own history and tells you before they arrive, not after.


THE THINGS OTHER CAR APPS LEAVE OUT

Tires, as sets — summer and winter, tread depth, which set is on the car right now, when to swap.
Insurance policies with the documents attached to them.
Financing and leases: balance, schedule, what you've paid so far.
Where you parked, and the places you keep going back to — your mechanic, your usual gas station.
More than one car, each with its own history.
Your cars, documents and expenses in the phone's own search, where Android supports it — type “fuel” on the home screen and they are there.


YOUR DATA DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE

Documents stay on your phone. Only what you scan is sent to Google Gemini to be read — switch that off in Settings and nothing leaves the device. There's no account to create, no email to hand over, nothing collected. Lock the app with your fingerprint if you want.

Back everything up into a single file you keep yourself — on Drive, or anywhere else. Export to PDF or CSV whenever you like. Coming from another car app? Point MyGarage at its CSV export and your history comes with you.


Available in twelve languages. A car maintenance log, fuel log and expense tracker for people who keep their cars a long time and would rather not lose the paperwork that proves it.
