FAQs

Q: Does this tell me how often to do each job?
A: No. Intervals vary by make, model, engine and how you drive, so the list leaves them out. Your owner's manual or a mechanic gives the schedule for your vehicle.
Q: Are my ticks saved?
A: Yes. Ticks are saved in your browser on this device, so they are still there when you come back. They are not sent anywhere and do not follow you to another device or browser.
Q: How do I start again?
A: Untick the items. Clearing your browser data for this site also removes the saved ticks.
Q: Can I use it for any vehicle?
A: It is a general list of common car jobs. Electric and specialty vehicles may skip some items and need others.
