Just wondering on how you guys keep maintenance records. Currently, I just list all items on an Excel spreadsheet and stick all of my receipts in a filing cabinet, but this is far from the most organized method.

 

just looking at my car lets everyone know i take car of it..

 

3 ring binder

 

I keep a little notebook in my drivers door pocket. I log in every time I get gas, trip miles, odometer miles, amount of gas, and milage per tank. Whenever I have maintenence done it goes in there too. I also keep any records in a filing cabinet with the rest of my important stuff.

 

I right it down on a sheet of paper that I keep in my glove box

 

Easy there Cracker

I just kep a copy of everything in a folder. someday I want to look back and see how much cash I blew...

I put the receipts in the paper folder that came with the car, it's a little bigger than the owner's manual. Acutally there's probably no reason to do so because the only work I did was oil changes and 60k tune-up, everything else is warranty work. There must be (I kid you not) over 20 invoices at n/c. That probably would cause a prospective buyer to back out.

 

No thank you.. I try and forget how much I spend all the time

 

Keep everything (receipts, hand-written notes, etc.) in a folder in my file cabinet.

 

i have a nice little leather folder thingy in my glove box that has all the reciepts in it...i can look back and find the first oil change, the wiper blade replacements...everything.

 

Me too. Every receipt goes in the back of the folder so everything is in order. Probably not the most organized but definately the easiest.

 

Excel spreadsheet for what I do, mileage and when, file cabinet for all the receipts.

 

I have this little book I keep in the glove compartment, it has sections for mileage, maintenance, and repairs. I also keep all the receipts for the routine service visits (15k services) in an envelope. I usually stuff that pocket above the ash tray full of my gas station receipts and then empty it when it gets full. I emptied the tray last week, and found receipts from 1999!
