Self service log/history app?

Any suggestions for a service history/log app/program to track self-service as well as any dealer services?

I want to be able to log my own oil changes, tire changes etc... as well as any maintenance done at the dealer.

 

I've been using Road Trip for over 10 years. Great App.

Welcome. Create a Toyota owners account and use the Toyota app.

 

I use the Toyota app. Dealer services are added to the account automatically, and I can add services I do myself.

 

This takes me back (cue the goofy flashback sound effect). I’m severely dating myself but back in the day I used a program on my Palm Pilot called TealAuto. It was great. The app that Texas4Runner mentioned above allows exporting of data. That’s great. TealAuto didn’t do that and I lost years of data when I transferred from the Palm Pilot to the iPhone.

A three ring binder

 

Ditto - Toyota app is good. Easy to add your own records and - as mentioned above - dealership records are auto-added.

 

I've been using Carfax. The self-service doesnt report as 'official' (of course not), but it works.

 

O man, yes. I still have my Palm Pilot that I just replaced the battery (Tungsten C) maybe ill switch from my manila folder with all my service/maintenance receipts to the Palm.

 

+1 carfax carcare app. it’ll pick up service entries from participating centers

 

I use an app called Fuelio to track my fill-ups, oil changes, etc. It's free and lets you set reminders and everything.

 

How did you guys got your connected Service to work. I have 2021 4 Runner Limited, paid subscription, connected service works because I can start/stop engine, close and open doors. It says it is compatible with connect service for maintenance reminders, etc but I don't see anything in the app.

 

Same, I've been digging around trying to figure out what I'm missing here. Thought maybe it was another one of those "not available in Canada" things

 

Interesting, not just me than. The irony being that the app itself show it should have it, my permissions are set to accept, etc, manuals, FAQs, all point that it should work.

 

I just write mine down in the back of the owner's manual on the page with the heading "Maintenance." Old school.

 

that would mean I have to open a book.

 

It’s easy on the app. On the home screen, click on “service appointments”, then click on “service history” in the next screen. From there, you can add a manual record.

 

I use Simply Auto

 

Is this different than

Is this on a different app?

 

Scheduled Maintenance should be the same tab.

 

Looks like same app, but have no option for Service Appointments. I though maybe it would be under Schedule Maintenance but it only gives option to call dealer to schedule maintenance...

 

I use an Excel spreadsheet. I may upload to the Toyota owner's site at some point but it really doesn't matter as I'm going to be the only one who owns it.

 

Strange, no clue why I'm missing the functionality. Best guess is due to regional differences

 

You can also log into https://www.toyota.com/owners/ and enter the information in via web.

 

I click "service appointments" on this screen...



Which takes me to this screen...



Then I click "service history" which takes me to this screen...



Then I click "add a record" which takes me to this screen...



I haven't added any yet on the 4Runner, since my last one was still Toyota Care. I've used it with the other cars though.

 

Yeah, mine has none of that. When clicking on my apps version of "service appointments" (named "Schedule Maintenance" on my app) it only gives me an option to call my preferred dealer. I'll just have to do what I always did before and write them in the manual. Too bad, I was looking for a handy place to have anytime access to the info. Maybe I will look into one of those other apps for this.

Another funny thing I noticed is that the preferred dealer in my app is a Toyota dealer, which is different then what I put into my infotainment system.

 

Nice, envious I (we) can't have that in Canada.

 

I used the Carfax website for my 2011 Tacoma but was debating on getting some kind of hand written log book for the 4R. Think I'll check out the Toyota app now though.

Edit: I've decided to create a Google Sheet and log it in there.

 

This is the easiest way, if you have the app. If not, just login online and add it via the Toyota Owners website. Both work and make it easy. It also provides documentation, if a warranty service is needed. Just make sure to add the notes on the same day that you complete the service.
