Car Maintenance Reminders Reviews

don’t use CarMaintenanceReminders

Will not let me into my previous vehicles that I had logged in

I’m so upset! I had all my car data wiped out with the latest update. Now I have no idea where I’m at with maintenance.

Reminders come in the form of icons rather than a list. You have to guess at what the icon is or open them up individually. I’m not into a scavenger hunt every time I open CarMaintenanceReminders . Prefer a list form.

I get reminders regularly to update a specific car I entered; however, NO vehicles I added to CarMaintenanceReminders show when I open CarMaintenanceReminders from CarMaintenanceReminders or from the reminder.

I previously used Carminder before they disappeared with an iOS update. I am looking for something else. I spent a whole 5 minutes on CarMaintenanceReminders. I entered a car, I get a bunch of overdue information, and I can’t clear it. There is a “reminder” button that doesn’t work.

Every month I would check the maintenance items CarMaintenanceReminders recommended and store the results. Today, when I opened CarMaintenanceReminders to update my car’s mileage I saw that all maintenance records had disappeared. Even my car information was gone. I will be moving on from this car maintenance app to a more reliable one.

I eventually deleted CarMaintenanceReminders . I would have my car in there and randomly I would open CarMaintenanceReminders and there were no cars listed. I read my car and everything is fine again except I had to start over. Then it would happen again randomly. It’s happened about 5 times. The last time I got a notification that my car was due for maintenance and I opened CarMaintenanceReminders yo see no cars listed once again.

I used CarMaintenanceReminders frequently to keep track of my car’s needs. I even spent time creating custom reminders and tasks. As a visual person, CarMaintenanceReminders was amazing to use. However, I was saddened when all of my data and custom reminders were wiped clean after an update. I am more than happy to change my rating if I can recover this data.

I was looking for a program to track my maintenance on my vehicles. I tried a few and liked this one the best. This program allows you to enter multiple maintenance items in one service (which most of them don't). The layout of the program is very simple and easy to use. You can change or add services to fit your car and also change the service time peroids It allows you to track multiple cars and gather a fair amount of data on your cars. One thing I would like them to add is service center. So you can track who worked on your car. This program works very well, but could be more extensive.

Love this! I like how you can change/add/delete maintenance items by car since they’ll have different service requirements. Would be nice to have a “master” list so you can edit the interval presets/defaults, then when they are added to a new car you don’t have to go in and update again. Would also be nice to go straight into adding a maintenance item from the overdue screen.

If you were to add services you did in the past, I noticed the number of the calendar day on the left is always the actual calendar day you create the record despite of the date your entered under General Information.
Is there any way to do “retro” records with the original date?

Loving CarMaintenanceReminders. It’s everything I want that’s missing from CarFax Car Care. It’s got super customizable reminders and records which has been a huge pain point with Car Care. One thing I’d love to be added is pdf attachments for records and iCloud backups for data. All of my records are pdfs and screenshotting them to add them to CarMaintenanceReminders is a bit annoying. Backup is also super important since I’d hate to have all of my records and reminders disappear with an app update.
Also if the dev ever wants to stop making updates. Pleaseeeee make this open source. I need CarMaintenanceReminders to stay up and up to date forever. Thank you so much for this.

I have long needed a way to get a reminder for my cars maintenance. CarMaintenanceReminders is great for that. I just wish that it also had a way to remind me to get my plate sticker as well.

I was wanting an app with exactly this functionality. I’m really glad I didn’t need to write it myself :)

I loved my old car reminder app, but the developer stop supporting it a while ago. I have been looking for a new one ever since. I think I like this one even better!

Exactly what I was looking for! Interface is very intuitive. I like the reminders feature based on time and mileage.

I had a small issue with data sync and had reached out to the developer. Got prompt response which helped resolve the issue.

I love the similarity to the native iOS Reminders app interface. Simple. No unnecessary user accounts, data collection, or subscriptions.

Similar to a previous review, I would love a way to export data as a .PDF or .CSV for backing up or sharing maintenance history with someone. I was using the “Auto Care” app for years, but it has evaporated from CarMaintenanceReminders store recently. Luckily I have the exports that app allowed me to make.

It would also be great for the “Additional Comments” field to be a user defined service title, and an additional long text field for detailed service notes.

Are those possibly in the future?

Those two items aside, bravo. Very grateful for what CarMaintenanceReminders already is. Thanks!

Great application, this is exactly what I was looking for. It’s clean, simple and stores data locally. A few opportunities to improve; 1. Add an “other” category; some reminders that are added may not fall into the ones already provided. 2. After selecting miles as the unit of measure, when editing the distance for reminders the unit still reflects as kilometers this should reflect miles.

Update**

I recently opened the car maintenance application and all of my car maintenance records have been wiped - this is without updating the application. The only thing that was done recently was update to iOS 17.0.2

I’ve found this to be easy to use. Hope future updates continue.
