Garage

Add your bike to the garage

Add a bike beside your cars, log rides and the jobs you do before rolling out, and get reminders for the chain, sealant and pads.

Design

Forms ask before you discard changes

Leave a form with unsaved changes and Gimme a View asks before it discards them, so a stray tap does not erase a half-written record.

Paperwork

Insurance cards for every car

The Insurance page shows each covered car as a card, laid out like the paper card in your glovebox, and Renew is the main action on a policy.

Garage

Archive a car you no longer have

Move a car you sold, traded in or scrapped out of the garage and keep its history. Archiving also stops its email reminders.

Service

One visit, several jobs

One maintenance record can complete several schedule items, so a single receipt for oil, a rotation and a filter updates all three.

Garage

Gauges and warning lamps on every car

Each car shows a service gauge and warning lamps for service, registration and insurance. Tap a status above the cars to filter the garage.

Garage

Export a car's history as a CSV

Download one car's details, service schedule, maintenance records, fill-ups, charge sessions and mileage updates as a CSV from your profile.

Vehicle data

Scan a VIN with your phone's camera

Point your camera at the VIN barcode in the door jamb, and the new car form reads it and asks you to confirm it before decoding.

Vehicle data

Look up the specs for your car, free

Public pages list the oil type and capacity, tire size and pressure, MPG and safety recalls for each model year. No account needed.

Reminders

A weekly email when something is due

One email a week, sent only when something across your garage is due or overdue: an oil change, a registration or an insurance policy.

Paperwork

Insurance for the whole garage

Track one policy that covers several cars, enter a premium for each car, and keep past policies in a history.

Paperwork

Registration renewals, tracked

Keep each car's plate, state, renewal date and cost, see its status at a glance, and renew with last year's details filled in.

Photos

Photos for every car and every job

Add photos to your car and to each maintenance record, so the receipt, the part label and the before and after shots stay with the work.

Service

Maintenance records for your car

The first version of Gimme a View: add your car, then log each oil change, repair and part with its date, mileage and cost.

Track your car for free.

Add a car, then log a fill-up or a maintenance record.
