Great software for keeping up with your car maintenance

We live in a hectic world. Like most people today I am often challenged to find the time to keep up with my car maintenance responsibilities. Between taking care of the kids, working, home maintenance and a myriad of other duties we all face on an every day basis, its hard to remember to get the oil changed every three thousand miles or check the air filter in the family car. Its especially overwhelming if you have several vehicles like me to do the needed car care on a regular basis.

Recently I found a wonderful product named Automotive Wolf car maintenance software that makes it very easy. It will track all your maintenance, repairs and even send you email reminders when a service item is due. You can configure your car maintenance schedule requirements in seconds and then just let it do its thing. Every time you enter a maintenance or fuel record it will also calculate how many miles you are driving per year which lets it begin to predict very accurately when a maintenance item needs to be addressed even if you have not actually used the software in months. It also tracks operating costs and compiles a parts list for you as you add maintenance records. Another awesome feature is that it will let you connect to Infotraxx Automotive Data Services to check for recalls and technical service bulletins. Basically its a total car care package and it really works great!

I have been tracking three vehicles for four months now and the cost analysis shows you clearly which vehicle costs you the most to keep on the road. The reports it produces are also very useful when you want to sell the vehicle so you can present any prospective buyer with a detailed maintenance log which can ultimately increase your cars resale value. Overall its a great car care program that save you alot of money on repairs and I highly recommend it.
