Software for Vehicle Maintenance?

[Desk Jockey]

Is anyone using a software program to keep track of vehicle maintenance?

I'd like one that isn't expensive....Christmas is coming and I need to buy Odin a blanket! :roll:

Heya Ricardo M.

Tony W. and I were looking for a solution a couple of years ago. I found one that was free, but it was a pain in the butt to use so I dumped it. I still haven't found anything better or easier to use than a wall calendar marked out a year in advance along with a log book.

Yea, there are some out there but I don't want to spend thousands.

We used Outlook as a reminder but it's doesn't work well to keep a record for each truck.

write the info on the side of a non-fat burrito. That way you will always look at it and know you can't touch

This is a serious question and for you to add in your immature, childish comments is just, well.......too Richard like! :shock:

Grow up....well, no you're too big already, get smaller...like yo brain!

Richard, what are you looking for in such a program? do you need it to remind you when to maintain or just keep track of them? I'm just curious

Both, I would like the reports so I can tell when repairs are getting to us and it's time to look at purchasing a new truck.

I found this one it looks pretty good and it's cheap.

Richard - can it also track truckmounts and associate equipment within the truck(s)?

a excel document would be the easiest

pending what all your looking at tracking

we track all mileage.. gas ......machine hours...ect,ect

and any work that is done buy myself on the equipment or buy my mechanic on the truck...................

been working fine for us for quite awhile now...............

I guess we are old fashion! Just use a folder with a list of things to check vs. what has been done. One side of the folder is for the TM the other is for the van.

You're right, it's not that hard, especially for a vehicle or two, but I have 25-to keep track of and need to maintained and reminded of. That's what makes it a headache.
