Tracking maintenance and repairs

[danf]

Dumb question, do you guys track your maintenance and repairs?

I never really thought about it until recently as now I have four vehicles and can't remember when I've done maintenance A and B or repairs or...

Spreadsheets aren't really suited to this task. Nor is a word processing document.

I see that there are apps for the phone for this but I would rather not store this stuff in the cloud. I hate using a phone for pretty much any data entry. Nor do I want to pay...

If you'd want to track this type of information, what would you track?

I'll have to do some more thinking about this...

my forum posts are how I track my repairs.

I just have a little notebook that I keep in the glove box of each car. Whenever I do work I write date, miles, and enough details about what I did to jog my memory. Pretty simple and efficient.

i typically keep my digital reciepts stored away, but plan to do what Teranfirbt does.

Seconded, this is exactly what I do.

Well, I currently keep track of finances in an application. So while I track cost of parts etc this really doesn't help track everything about the car (thinking of no purchase of parts to repair a vehicle.)

Maybe if I get bored I'll write an application to track this stuff for me. I hate cloud based crap because at some point they'll sell your info.

I have a not app on my phone that i keep notes of what i have done and when. I used to keep a note book in the glove box but sometimes would forget. The other positive is i always have the information to refer to. I currently track 8 different cars kinda hard to remember it all.

Yeah, that's why I was thinking I'd like to track it. I could write a local web app if I got bored. We'll see how bored I get.
