Lugbook is the simple, private way to track everything that happens to your car. Built for DIY owners and anyone who wants a clean record of their vehicle's service history. Log an oil change, brake job, tire rotation, or wash in seconds — with the date, mileage, cost, and a photo of the receipt. Your whole maintenance history lives in one organized timeline you actually own. Track fuel costs and MPG history by logging fill-ups at the pump. WHY LUGBOOK • Maintenance log — Record any service with notes, mileage, cost, and photo attachments. • Cost tracking — See what you've spent at a glance, with a breakdown by vehicle and by service type so you know exactly where the money goes. • Smart reminders — Set recurring service schedules or one-time reminders for things like inspections and registration. Get notified before each is due, snooze with a tap, and view everything that needs attention across all your cars in one place. Reminders are local to your device. • Recall alerts — Look up open safety recalls for your vehicle straight from the NHTSA database. • VIN decode — Enter a VIN to auto-fill make, model, year, engine, and trim. • Receipt & photo storage — Attach receipts and photos to any log so nothing gets lost. • Service schedules — Start from a suggested maintenance schedule or build your own. • Export & transfer — Export a clean PDF of a vehicle's history, or hand a vehicle (and its full record) to a new owner in-app. • Dark mode — Light, dark, or follow your system.
