Before I began using vehicle maintenance software, I kept a little file that contained all my vehicle maintenance records, which was great if I needed a receipt, but lousy if I wanted to track maintenance history and know when my car was due back the shop. The file was messy and full of loose papers therefore, once I used vehicle maintenance software, the mess was eliminated and I had clear, printable records of my vehicle maintenance history, costs, and schedules. The best vehicle maintenance software I was able to find and try out include: Scotware's "Auto Maintenance Information System", E.C. Computing Solutions' "CarTrak", and the "Auto Maintenance Pro" by Innovative Maintenance Systems.

I tried all three of these vehicle maintenance software programs to the maximum allowed by the free trials and found that the "Auto Maintenance Information System" was the one for me. It was a tough choice, and although it has been the perfect vehicle maintenance software for my needs, everyone has different ideas of what their vehicle maintenance software should do.




The "Auto Maintenance Information System": Great for Tracking More Than One Vehicle




Between the two cars that my husband and I own, the "Auto Maintenance Information System" did the best job for managing our two cars. Out of all the vehicle maintenance software programs I tried, this one is unmatched in easily shifting between two vehicles and allows for simple comparisons and record keeping. Chances are, if you own more than one vehicle, this will be the right vehicle maintenance software for your needs.




Takeaways
  • The Auto Maintenance Information System is best for tracking service history
  • The CarTrak is great for monitoring fuel efficiency
  • The Auto Maintenance Pro is more expersive but combines features
