Car maintenance tracking, answered.

Everything people ask before they start logging: free plans, project car build logs, selling with records, and what Wheelscribe actually tracks. The full feature set is on the features page; plan details live on pricing.

What is Wheelscribe?

Wheelscribe is a log for keeping track of your project car: a web app for recording every oil change, repair, and modification with mileage, dates, costs, photos, and receipts. Each car gets a searchable service-history timeline, and the whole record exports to Excel.

Is there a free car maintenance tracker?

Yes! Wheelscribe's free plan covers one car with unlimited maintenance and mod entries, VIN decode, search, and the history timeline. Free forever, no card required.

Is the free plan really free, forever?

Yes. One car, one photo per car, one attachment per log entry, and free with no time limit and no card on file. The paid plans exist for capacity and export, not to unlock the basics.

Can I track modifications on a project car, not just maintenance?

Every entry is tagged maintenance or modification, so the build log and the service log share one timeline. Filter either way; parts, brands, costs, notes, and photos are all searchable.

How do I keep maintenance records for my car?

Record five things for every job, as it happens: the date, the mileage, what was done, the parts used, and the cost; you can even attach the receipt. Wheelscribe structures every log entry automatically, so the record stays complete without extra effort.

How do I show proof of maintenance when selling my car?

Hand the buyer a dated, mileage-stamped service record instead of verbal assurances. Wheelscribe's Enthusiast and Business plans export a car's complete history as an Excel workbook you can print or email.

Can I export my maintenance history to Excel?

Yes. On Enthusiast (2 exports per month) or Business (unlimited), one click exports a car's full history to a formatted Excel workbook: entries, mileage, costs, parts, and attachment filenames.

Does Wheelscribe decode my VIN?

Yes. Paste a VIN and the year, make, model, and trim fill in automatically from NHTSA data. Adding a car takes seconds.

Is my garage public?

No. Every car and every log is private to your account by default. No public profile, no shared timeline.

What happens to my data if I downgrade?

Your records stay yours; nothing is ever deleted. If you drop to a plan with a lower car limit, everything stays readable and editable; you just can't add more cars until you upgrade or remove one.

Can I track multiple cars?

The free plan covers one car. Enthusiast ($5/month, or $50/year with 2 months free) covers up to 5 cars: the project car, the daily, and the parts car in one garage, each with its own timeline. Business ($25/month or $250/year) removes the limit entirely for shops and small fleets.

How is Wheelscribe different from a maintenance spreadsheet?

Wheelscribe removes all the friction of formatting and managing a full maintenance spreadsheet. A simple UI lets you add a full detailed report to your log directly from your phone or laptop, and the receipts and photos are stored inside each log.
