Vehicle Maintenance

Read full description

RideCheck is a car and motorcycle maintenance tracker. It keeps every service record in one place and estimates when each part is due next, based on your odometer mileage and the date of your last service. Set an interval by distance, time or both, and get a reminder before the next oil change, tire replacement or brake service. HOW MAINTENANCE WORKS • Add your vehicle: a sedan, SUV, MPV or other car, or a motorcycle or motor scooter, with its current odometer reading. Any make works, from Toyota and Mitsubishi to Honda. • Set up components: engine oil, tires, brakes, battery, fluids, filters, spark plugs and more, or add your own. Give each one a service interval in kilometers or miles, in months, or both. • Log each service: when a part is serviced or replaced, record the date and odometer reading. The part starts counting again and the entry goes into that vehicle's service history. • See what is due: each component shows its estimated remaining distance and time, based on your last service, your interval and the mileage recorded since. The vehicle screen shows every component's status on a 3D view of your vehicle. Estimates depend on the odometer readings and trips you record, and do not replace an inspection or your manufacturer's service schedule. Electric vehicles (EV) work too: skip engine oil and track the tires, brakes, battery and other parts your electric car or motorcycle needs. TRIP TRACKING Every recorded ride, from the daily commute to a weekend lifestyle ride, adds distance to your odometer so the estimates stay current. • Auto-Track detects drives in the background and records them. • Manual Track lets you start and stop a trip from the app, a Home Screen widget or Control Center (iOS 18). • Each trip shows the route on a map with distance, duration and top speed, and can be shared as a summary card. • A Live Activity shows the current trip on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. GPS detection may occasionally record a walk or a bicycle ride; you can delete those trips. FREE AND PRO RideCheck is free to download. The free plan includes one vehicle and component tracking with distance and time intervals. Components marked as important can be logged as serviced once. RideCheck Pro adds: • More than one vehicle • Auto-Track and Manual Track • Service reminders when a component is nearly due Pro is offered as a 6-month subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. The 6-month subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage it in your Apple Account settings. MORE DETAILS • Widgets: Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show component status and can start a manual trip. • Backup: sign in with Apple or Google to back up your data and restore it on another iPhone, or start as a guest and link an account later. • Offline: records are saved on your iPhone first, so the app works without a connection. • Workshops (Indonesia): find and contact nearby workshops. At a RideCheck partner workshop, scan the QR code so the mechanic can update your service record, then rate the mechanic who worked on your vehicle. • Languages: English, Indonesian, Malay and Japanese. • Fleets: businesses that run a vehicle fleet can use the RideCheck fleet dashboard. Contact us at +62 896-8382-7010. • RideCheck focuses on maintenance. It is not a fuel log or an expense tracker. PRIVACY RideCheck uses your location to record trips and, in Indonesia, to show nearby workshops. Background location is used only while Auto-Track is on. Your records are stored on your iPhone and, if you sign in, in your RideCheck backup.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Speedometer ⋙ at none against Vehicle Maintenance's 3. Speedometer ⋙ also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Vehicle Maintenance's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 months). On price there is nothing between them.
