### 4/5 — No longer updated 😞

*2026-04-05, version 1.67*

I have been using this app for years and never considered switching to something else. I lost all of my data when my phone crashed a year ago and the Genius Bar had to force a restore of iOS. After spending about 15 minutes trying to get the app to actually save my VIN and a photo of my vehicle, I’m considering switching to another app that is actively updating at least annually. Three years is a long time to let something sit and pray that it will still work and not lose my data again.

### 4/5 — CarCare

*2025-10-24, version 1.67*

I’ve been using this app for years and as of yet, have not found a better app for tracking service, repairs and gasoline purchases. Otherwise it’s a fantastic app which is why I rate it four stars. It would be nice if we can input the details about the repair and see them without having to edit the entry details.

### 2/5 — Nice app but

*2025-09-04, version 1.67*

No support!!

### 4/5 — Please update this app

*2025-08-05, version 1.67*

This app needs an update. Some of the featured are bugged.

### 3/5 — No dark mode

*2024-12-01, version 1.67*

This needs a dark mode app icon.

### 2/5 — Needs update!!!

*2024-11-28, version 1.67*

Been using this app for many years but less and less continues to work. Has this app been abandoned? I used to really love this app. Please give it some love for iOS 18 ❤️

### 3/5 — LONG-time user on multiple platforms, first time reviewer

*2023-05-11, version 1.67*

I’d really like to give this a 5-star review but with my last few vehicles I’ve noticed there is always one service reminder I cannot find (I track performance and mileage, etc. on both mine and my wife’s vehicles and have for over 10 years+). If 4 are showing as due, I can only find 3 in red in the app. I always rotate my tires with oil changes and I add a PTFE engine additive during oil changes as well. On every other oil change, I also have the tires balanced (in addition to rotating them). The obvious service reminders show, but one is always invisible. Why is that and where is it and how do I fix it? Thanks in advance.

### 4/5 — Send information

*2022-10-20, version 1.66*

Wish we were able to send the information and hold to someone else to choose in the app or when you move a car to a child

### 2/5 — Stops tracking fuel fill entries

*2022-09-01, version 1.66*

I’ve used this app for years with no issue, but it’s suddenly stopped keeping track of fuel entries. I’ve lost the last 2 months worth of entries.

It saving some of it - the mileage I enter is current, but the fuel fills stopped saving, which makes it useless for fuel efficiency.

### 5/5 — Does what it says. I use it weekly and have for a few years. Thank you!

*2021-07-24, version 1.66*

Does what it says

### 2/5 — 保养记录

*2021-05-22*

编写的规则有点乱，搞不清楚。

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-06, version 1.66*

Works great, been using it for 5-6 years now.
i track 3 cars, a lawn mower, 2 generators on it (maintenance)

*2020-11-01, version 1.63*

▢ 20201102 追記　メモ欄改善願います。

以前の不具合はほぼ解消されました。ありがとうございます。

メモ欄の不具合改善お願いします。
給油記録・整備記録のメモ欄のコメントが改行されず、全てのコメントが表示されません。
メンテナンスの詳細を後から確かめられなくて困りますので、メモ欄のコメントが改行されて全文表示されるように改善願います。

▢ まだバグ！20200116現在 まだ改善されていません。このままでは使えません。早急に対応ください。

1．記録の詳細メモ欄がキーボードの候補欄重なり記入文字を確認出来ません。　
このバグは以前にもありました。
同じ事繰り返すのは経験を活かせていないです。デベロッパーとしてもっと意識を高く持ってください。

2．記録の詳細メモ欄ほバックが白、文字も白。記入した文字がみえません。文字色黒にしてください。

3．項目の詳細欄。バックが黒。文字がダークグレー。非常に見にくいです。
文字明るくしてください。

4．そもそも無理にダークモードに合わせる必要ありますか？　ダークモードとノーマルモードと選択できるようにしてください。バグが収まるまでそちらで通常使用できるようにしてください。

5．今回のアップデートはバグが多すぎます。しっかり検証してからアップデート公開してください。ユーザーが必要としていないダークモードアップデートでバグを被ってかなり迷惑です。

6．ピットストップ時間の項目無くなってます。地味に面白い機能だったので復活させてください。削除する意味わかりません。

### 3/5 — データのインポートに問題がある

*2020-09-14, version 1.63*

When I enter data into a website and then import it into my iPhone, the date is shifted to the previous day.
If you are correcting a date that is out of alignment, you have to go back a day, and then back another 3 hours or so to get the correct date.
I think the system is taking into account the time difference.
I had to change 30 items to correct all the data for one year.
I don't plan on changing cars for a while, but I'm afraid I'll be deflated the next time this happens.
Please revamp the import system.
By the way, I use App in Japan.

### 4/5 — Reminder pop ups?

*2020-08-31, version 1.63*

Love and used this app for years. But recently I’ve noticed I no longer get reminder pop ups for services due. Just downloaded the latest update, but no change.

### 4/5 — Additional features suggetion

*2020-07-06, version 1.62*

In my opinion, there should be additional buttons for different gasoline grade not just premium or regular gas (didn't know if it has diesel options), also it could be nice if you can take pictures of the gas / maintenance  receipt,  photos of damage and print them. 
In any case, this  apps works good.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2021-07-01, version 1.66*

This App is terrible.  Can not go back and see previous fuel entries and no way to update them.  Would like my money back before I delete this app.

### 1/5 — One of my Favorites

*2021-03-31, version 1.66*

This and Gas Buddy get a whole lot of use!
This was accurate until my link disappeared today on my new iPhone 12. 
When I touch the app it takes me to a page with thank you for your purchase and at the top “edit” not active and an active button to “add” a car. 😢

### 1/5 — Can’t Import Data to New Phone

*2021-03-12, version 1.66*

I replaced an aging iPhone 4s with an iPhone 12 this week.  Since I couldn’t import the apps and data directly into the iPhone 12, I used the Car Care export feature to save the data on a car to a tab delimited text file. I had to pay for a new version of Car Car for the new phone, but was happy to do this since my wife and I have been using the app for all of our cars. 

Unfortunately, the web-based import feature is broken and I can’t import the data collected since the car was new.  I can upload the formatted data into the KarlBecker utility with no problems. When I submit the form so I can receive an ID number and password so I can import the data into the phone, I see a mostly black screen with no information. 

While I have been happy with Car Care for many years, the inability to restore historical information after replacing a phone is a huge deal breaker.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2021-02-10, version 1.66*

Garbage. It doesn’t save the info you spend hours entering

### 1/5 — Version 1.56 broken.

*2020-05-02, version 1.62*

Car care app is amazing however the new update totally broke the ability to view entries on any of your vehicles as lines are all on top of each other so now is a useless app

### 1/5 — COMPLETELY BROKEN

*2020-02-01, version 1.58*

This app is completely broken on my iPhone 7 running iOS 13.3.1.  Older entries disappear upon editing, and attempting to re-enter them causes the app to crash randomly.  I’ve been trying for fifteen minutes to correct and re-enter four simple gas fill-ups from my previous entries and this Car Care app has fought me every step of the way.  It’s an absolute nightmare that I’m deleting from my phone immediately - not worth the headache.  This app needs A LOT of work.

### 1/5 — Well good try but no success

*2020-01-05, version 1.57*

Looks like they tried to fix the problem but no success. You can now see eateries but when adding new service can’t see the selections. Still broke and needs fixing or guess I will go looking for another application that works.

### 1/5 — Updates?!$&

*2020-01-04, version 1.56*

Your updates never work.  Newest version keeps locking up and closing app while entering data

### 1/5 — Crashes now whenever I click “entries”

*2020-01-04, version 1.56*

The app has started crashing whenever I click “entries” to view the entries for a vehicle. Help!

### 1/5 — Unusable with this version

*2020-01-03, version 1.56*

Crashes every time when selecting “entries”

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-05-20, version 1.67*

The app help me a lot with my car maintenance, Karl responds every question and fix the problems very fast. Very satisfied

### 5/5 — Love this app Pleeease Update

*2026-05-15, version 1.67*

As others have said, this is one of my essential apps also. All of its features still work for the most part despite no updates for years. I’ll be very sad if it’s allowed to die. Export your data folks just in case. One idea I also had is to add cost breakdowns for services like they have for fuel. Like tires and per month service cost so you can track service costs over time.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-07-15, version 1.67*

I've been using this for over two years, and it just keeps getting better.

UPDATE:

I'll add my voice to the long list of people complaining about the location services always being on.   Please update this to fix that problem.  And dump the pit stop feature.   It is useless.  I don't even open the app until AFTER I have filled up.

UPDATE:  11-15-16

Thanks for the update.  Now works without the warning in iOS 10.  I still love this app.

You need some way to edit the vehicle name.  I just got a Ford Transit.  The only choice in your list is a transit connect.  That is a completely different vehicle.   

I figured it out.

### 5/5 — It’s great!

*2024-09-12, version 1.67*

Been using it since 2012 and 5 different cars. Once you learn everything you can do with it it’s easy.

### 5/5 — One of my "Essential Apps”.

*2024-05-24, version 1.67*

I’ve used this app on three phones. Installing it on a new phone today prompted me to make this review. I love this app, it’s pretty simple and it keeps track of my mileage and gas purchases. The developer has made migrating the data to new devices (or even archiving it) pretty painless. I honestly don’t know what additional features I would add (maybe automatically backing up the data to dropbox, but I’m reaching). It just does what it does very well. It’s great.

### 5/5 — Excelent tool

*2022-10-26*

Simply the way to control and keep my vehicles health. It helps me to remember for past condition of the vehicles, repairs, oil change, wheels rotation and all I want to have it in control

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2022-07-16, version 1.66*

Great app to track all your gas and services/repairs. Great reminders and easily customizable for your preferences. 

Awesome support too. Had a minor issue exporting / emailing the data and the issue was answered promptly. One minor improvement I would recommend is a modification to the notes field. It’s a bit difficult to work with and sometimes the entire note is not viewable on the entry. 

But a very useful app. I’ll be selling my car soon and can give the buyer a complete report (through the export function) of the maintenance and gas!  A good thing for my sale negotiating. 😁

### 5/5 — Great app, reliable support

*2022-04-01, version 1.66*

I have used this app for years and it has been terrific.

### 5/5 — I Love This App BUT

*2022-03-06, version 1.66*

Where are the updates. I have used this forbears but unit seems like the developer has disappeared. Could use some new features and bug fixes.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2022-01-13, version 1.66*

I've been using this app since September 2008. Multiple vehicles, changed phones, updated, never lost anything. I’m a car guy. Always tinkering, and upgrading. Every part, every injector cleaner bottle, every cent is tracked on this app. I have great stats on every vehicle! I love this app. Will keep it forever! Just make an entry at every fillup. It makes graphs, charts and statistics. Update 01/22
Still working great on the latest phone. Thanks again !
