Maintenance Log App?

Anyone recommend one for Android? Kind of surfing around for them and most I down load are built 99% around tracking your fuel usage. I must be the only one on the planet that does not log every ounce of fuel I use and obsess about how far I can go on it...........

Anyway - I have a very detailed spreadsheet I keep these things for all my cars, but want an app to enter things in when I am in the garage doing them and also be able to look up when I did what while I am at the parts store, etc.

Just a basic service log is what I am looking for aimed at the DYI guy.

Any recommendations?

I did the same as you a long time ago.
I'm surprised that there is still nothing out there.

I'd like one too. I've got an Xcel spreadsheet going at the moment, but always looking for something nicer.

I am kind of checking out the car fax app now. Asked for a sign in and I deleted it, but I reinstalled it and now playing with it some. Not too shabby so far.

I use AUTOsist on iOS. Not sure if there is an Android version. Good Luck.

Using Excel.
Tab for service record, tab for bolt torques, tabs for general info (wiper lengths, paint code, various part numbers ...), tab for bulbs (base type, wattage, measured current, LED equivalents ...), tabs for valve clearances and adjustment results ...

Excel as well - an app would be great.

I can't help you with your question - I've tracked fuel consumption with my Prius and ELR in the past, but I tired of it quickly, so I know what you mean, especially in Hybrid circles, about obsession.

I do like the color scheme of your car and thought I'd share my 2008's pic:

Very nice! I like the white tan combo and spent time searching for it. A clean example took me awhile to find!

Another "excel"er user. I have Fuel Monitor (iOS) which tracks service and repairs as well as fuel. But I find that excel is still better so I end up tracking fuel on the phone only.

iOS only here, but for the benefit of other iPhone users who skim this thread, I use Car Minder and am very pleased. Logs fuel and mileage, but also repairs and tracks and reminds for periodic maintenance at intervals the user specifies. I have no financial interest, but would recommend to anyone.

I used Drivvo for a bit but it seems to be better for fuel logging vs maintenance
