Oil Change Reminder: AutoFrist

AutoFrist is the oil change reminder and car maintenance tracker that keeps every date for your car in one place. Set the interval once and get a heads-up before service, oil, tires, registration renewal or insurance are due.

YOUR GARAGE
Car, motorcycle, RV or trailer: every vehicle gets its own deadlines, each with its own interval. Inspection, registration renewal, insurance, service, oil change, tires, first aid kit expiry, plus as many custom deadlines as you need. A fuel gauge bar shows at a glance how much time is left, and whatever is due first sits at the top.

TAP DONE, SEE WHAT'S NEXT
Back from the shop? Tap Done and the car service tracker suggests the next date from the interval. Add the cost, the odometer reading and a note if you like, and it all lands in your car maintenance log, which Pro turns into a car expense tracker with yearly totals. Your oil change reminder runs by date, for example every 6 or 12 months.

REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY ARRIVE
A car maintenance tracker is only as good as its reminders. Pick a lead time of 7, 14, 30 or 60 days and the time of day. Reminders fire even if you haven't opened the app in months, and they survive a phone restart.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your vehicle maintenance tracker stays private: no sign-up, no cloud, no tracking, no ads. Your data lives only on your phone. The internet is only used to buy Pro.

FREE AND PRO
Free forever: one vehicle with every deadline and every reminder, plus the German license exchange calculator.
AutoFrist Pro is a one-time purchase with no subscription. Pay once, keep it forever:
• unlimited vehicles
• full service and cost history with yearly totals, so it doubles as a car expense tracker
• a second reminder on the due date itself
• CSV export of your car maintenance log
Backup as a file (Settings, Data) is free: save your vehicles and service log, restore them on a new phone.
Already bought Pro? You keep it on every device.

SHARE THE OVERVIEW
Send a vehicle's deadline overview from the car service tracker to anyone who drives it too.


GERMANY MODE
For drivers in Germany. It switches on automatically on German devices and can be turned on or off in Settings.
• Main inspection (HU): enter month and year from the inspection sticker and pick a 12, 24 or 36 month cycle. After a passed inspection the next date counts from the inspection month; there is no backdating.
• Overdue HU: if the date is missed by more than 2 months, a tiered fine can apply. The app warns you (details in the official fine catalog linked below).
• Driving license exchange: German licenses issued before January 19, 2013 must be exchanged for the EU card license in stages (§ 24a FeV with Annex 8e). The calculator finds your deadline from your birth year (paper license) or year of issue (card license).
• Tire changes from October to Easter are added automatically.
• Car insurance: for policies that follow the calendar year, November 30 is the usual switch deadline (your policy terms decide). The app reminds you before that date.
• First aid kit: an expired kit counts as a defect at the HU. The app reminds you before it expires.
