I’ve been using the CarFAX Car Care app/website for a long time but I’m looking for something better.

It would be nice to have something I can enter my car make/model into and have it suggest maintenance but also keep track of repairs. I like uploading PDF scans of receipts too; one thing that always bothered me about Car Care is the horrible, weird compression it does on those files.

      Ahhh, I’d love it if I could tie that in with a Bluetooth OBD dongle and Home Assistant. It’d be awesome if I could set up a BLE proxy in my carport to automatically update stuff. It’d be especially handy if I could get alerted about check engine codes.

        Yeah, I’ve been looking for this as well. I’ve got a constant check engine light because the catalytic converter is dead, and that’s about the only thing on the car I don’t care about.

      Oh cool, this looks like something I’d really like. I’ve been using a paid Android app called Simply Auto which is excellent, but self hosting is more fun.

      I finally gave this a go a few days ago but wasn’t in love with the UI. I’d contribute but it’s written in .NET.

      I’ll probably build something myself. One thing I’d like to do is have it integrate with other APIs (like Paperless).
