Car maintenance tracking, answered.

Everything people ask before they start logging — about 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 project car log and build tracker: a web app where you record every oil change, repair, and modification with mileage, dates, costs, photos, and receipts. Each car gets a searchable service-history timeline, and the full record can be exported to Excel.

Is there a free car maintenance tracker?

Yes — Wheelscribe's free plan covers one car with unlimited maintenance and modification log entries, VIN decode, search, and the history timeline, free forever with no time limit.

Is the free plan really free, forever?

Yes. One car, one photo per car, and one attachment per log — kept free with no time limit. Upgrade to Pro only if you want more capacity or to export.

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

Every entry is tagged as maintenance or modification, so a build log and a service log live in the same timeline. Filter either way, and the whole entry — parts, brand, cost, notes, photos — is searchable.

How do I keep maintenance records for my car?

Record each job as it happens with five things: the date, the mileage, what was done, the parts used, and the cost — ideally with the receipt attached. Wheelscribe structures every log entry this way automatically, so your records are complete without extra effort.

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

Give the buyer a dated, mileage-stamped service record rather than verbal assurances. Wheelscribe Pro exports a car's complete history — every entry, part, and cost — as an Excel workbook you can print or email to the buyer.

Can I export my maintenance history to Excel?

Yes. On the Pro plan, one click exports a car's full history — entries, mileage, costs, parts, and attachment filenames — to a clean Excel workbook.

Does Wheelscribe decode my VIN?

Yes. Paste a VIN and Wheelscribe fills in the year, make, model, and trim automatically using NHTSA data, so adding a car takes seconds.

Is my garage public?

No. By default, every car and every log is private to your account. There's no public profile and no shared timeline.

What happens to my data if I downgrade?

Your records stay yours. We never delete entries or photos. If you go back to Free with multiple cars, everything is preserved — you just won't be able to add more until you upgrade or remove a car.

Can I track multiple cars?

The free plan covers one car. Pro ($5/month) removes the limit — track the project car, the daily, and the parts car in one garage, each with its own timeline.

How is Wheelscribe different from a maintenance spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet can hold dates and costs, but it can't attach photos and receipts to a job, decode a VIN, search across cars, or produce a buyer-ready export. Wheelscribe does all of that while staying as fast to update as a spreadsheet row.
