Why Tracking Matters

Tasks like service car are easy to forget because they're infrequent. A simple log turns a fuzzy memory into a clear record you can trust, helping you avoid missed inspections and expensive breakdowns.

The recommended cadence is every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Track it each time you complete it and you'll always know exactly when you last did it—and when you should do it next.
