What is Pitlog?

Pitlog is a service, fuel, and repair log book for people who maintain their own vehicles. Every oil change, fill-up, and repair goes into a per-vehicle record with date, odometer, cost, shop, notes, and a receipt photo. The garage holds cars, trucks, motorcycles, and lawn or marine equipment side by side.

The dashboard turns those records into answers: what each vehicle costs this year and per mile, how spending splits across fuel, service, and repairs, and where your fuel economy is trending. A service forecast projects what is due next from your logged intervals and your actual driving rate, so the most urgent job is always at the top.

Records live on your device — no account, no dealer database. Units and currency are set once by you and never silently changed, and your history exports to a clean PDF or a generic CSV whenever you want it.

Features

Ownership dashboard

This-year spend, lifetime spend, and a live cost-per-mile figure for every vehicle, with a fuel-versus-service-versus-repairs breakdown.

Service forecast

Upcoming services are projected from your intervals and recent mileage, ranked by urgency with clear countdown bars.

Fuel log with MPG trends

Log fill-ups and read rolling fuel-economy and cost-per-mile trends, charted so one noisy tank doesn't mislead you.

Date and mileage reminders

Set reminders by time interval and odometer threshold — oil every 5,000 miles or 6 months — with quiet local notifications.

Multi-vehicle garage

Track cars, trucks, motorcycles, and equipment, each with its own service-interval presets and history.

PDF and CSV export

Print a clean service-history PDF per vehicle for resale or warranty, and move records in or out with column-mapped CSV.

How it works

Add your vehicles

Enter make, model, year, current odometer, and your units — the garage holds as many vehicles as you maintain.

Log as you go

Record each service, fill-up, and repair with odometer, cost, and a receipt photo. Any date, any mileage, fully editable.

Read the dashboard

Pitlog synthesizes your entries into cost of ownership, spend breakdown, MPG trends, and a ranked list of what's due next.

Keep proof forever

Export a service-history PDF or CSV whenever you need it — for a buyer, a warranty claim, or your own files.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a vehicle log book app?

It is a digital replacement for the paper booklet where owners record service, fuel, and repairs. A good one adds what paper can't: reminders, cost totals, and fuel-economy trends. Pitlog does all of this on your iPhone and keeps the records on the device rather than in someone else's cloud.

How do I keep track of car maintenance on my iPhone?

Log each job as it happens — date, odometer, what was done, and what it cost — and set recurring intervals for routine items like oil and tires. Pitlog stores these entries per vehicle, reminds you by both date and mileage, and shows a forecast of what's due next across your whole garage.

Is there an app to track maintenance for multiple vehicles?

Yes. Pitlog is built around a multi-vehicle garage: each car, truck, motorcycle, or piece of equipment has its own service intervals, history, and cost summary. The dashboard and service forecast span all of them, so one screen shows the most urgent job in the fleet.

How do I calculate the real cost of owning my car?

Add up fuel, scheduled service, and repairs over a period, then divide by the miles driven in that period. Pitlog does this continuously from your logs, showing this-year spend, lifetime spend, and a live cost-per-mile figure, plus a breakdown of where the money actually goes.

How can I track my car's MPG over time?

Record every fill-up with the odometer reading and fuel amount; the math falls out from consecutive entries. Pitlog computes MPG or liters per 100 km automatically and charts a rolling average, so you read the trend rather than a single noisy tank.

Can an app remind me when my oil change is due by mileage, not just date?

It should, because oil intervals are really mileage intervals. Pitlog reminders fire on whichever comes first — the date or the odometer threshold — and the forecast estimates the due date from your recent miles per week, so 'in 1,500 miles' becomes an actual week on the calendar.

Does a service history help when selling a car?

Yes — a documented maintenance record is one of the strongest signals a private buyer can get, and it supports your asking price. Pitlog exports a clean, dated service-history PDF per vehicle that you can hand over or attach to a listing.

Can I add old maintenance records with past dates?

In Pitlog, yes. Entries are free-form: any date, any odometer reading, editable later if you spot a mistake. You can back-fill years of paper receipts and the totals and trends recalculate.

Can I import my maintenance history from another app?

If the other app can export a CSV file, yes. Pitlog imports generic CSV with column mapping, so you match its columns to date, odometer, type, and cost regardless of how the source app arranged them. Export works the same way, so your records stay portable.

Where is my vehicle data stored — do I need an account?

Pitlog stores everything locally on your iPhone and requires no account at all. Your records are not a dealer database entry and never leave the device unless you export or share them yourself.

What maintenance records should I keep for my car?

At minimum: oil changes, tire rotations, brake work, fluid changes, and any repair, each with date, mileage, and cost. Receipts matter for warranty claims. Pitlog captures all of these fields plus a receipt photo per entry, so the proof stays attached to the record.

Can I track maintenance for a motorcycle or lawn mower too?

Yes. Pitlog's garage isn't limited to cars — motorcycles, boats, mowers, and other equipment each get their own record with intervals that fit them. Hour-based or seasonal gear can be tracked with date-interval reminders.
