Car Repair Log App for Your Service History
Written by Muneeb Rana · Last updated 21 October 2026
Quick answer: CarO is a car repair log app that keeps your car's full service history on your phone. Log oil changes, tires, brakes, inspections and repairs with the date, odometer reading, shop and cost. Your history is there at the counter when a mechanic asks what was done last, and ready to show a buyer when you sell.
TL;DR
- Log oil, tires, brakes, inspections, repairs.
- Date, odometer, shop and cost for each entry.
- Your service history, always with you.
CarO's car repair log replaces the shoebox of receipts with a searchable history for each car.
What you can record
- Oil and filter changes
- Tires: purchases, rotations, repairs
- Brakes: pads, rotors, fluid
- Inspections and MOTs
- Repairs of any kind, from bulbs to timing belts
Each entry stores the date, odometer, cost and notes . Set the next reminder straight from the entry with the oil change reminder.
Why it matters
A full service history helps warranty claims, saves diagnosis time and supports resale value (car service history). It also stops you paying twice: if a shop recommends a coolant flush, you can check when it was last done (coolant flush).
