Car Minder is an application for managing all your car maintenance needs, logging repairs and tracking fuel economy. Keep track of multiple cars, services and repairs. Keep track of oil changes, tire rotations, and other maintenance tasks for all your cars. Never have to wonder again when your car needs its next oil change or the last time you replaced those squeaky windshield wipers. Detect potential problems early by tracking your fuel consumption. Taking care of your car by following recommended maintenance intervals prolongs the life of your car, keeps it running better and increases fuel economy so that you use less gas. Use Car Minder to get the most out of your vehicle.

Car Minders easy and beautiful interface lets you record services, fillups and repairs in mere seconds and lookup when a service is due just as fast.

Car Minders new Gas Log lets you easily track your gas consumption By displaying your average mileage, most recent mileage and a graph of all your fillups. In addition, Car Minder displays a nice gauge to help you easily identify how your last fillup compares to your average.

Car Minder keeps a complete record of your car and allows you to email those records to anyone.

Every time you sync with iTunes, Car Minders database is backed up to your computer and can be restored if you lose or break your phone.

Pros and cons of Car Minder Plus - Car Maintenance and Gas Log (MPG) app for iPhone and iPad

Car Minder Plus - Car Maintenance and Gas Log (MPG) app good for

Does what it claims to do! Beautiful color display, keep up the good work!

Car minder is an excellent app. I recomend this app to anyone with vehicles. I use it every time I fill up or do services to my vehicle. It does all the thinking fir me and reminds me of all services when they are due. Thanks car minder, you are my I hand service partner, my friend.!!!

Great app for keeping up with all car info. Only problem, lost info when upgraded to os5. Should have a sync. for computer. Well worth the coin.

This is a wonderful app. The only improvement would be to be able to enter distance in miles and get mileage in L/100k. Thanks

I have tried many but this one is best general app that allows for the most information that you want to see.

Good app but totally useless without metric units!! Hoping for an update soon!!

Some bad moments

This is a good app. Now Ive upgraded to a 4GS and I have no way to move the data over to my new phone. Not impressed

iPhone 5 sw 6.0.1 vehicle icon/picture fix not resolve problem. Need a way to backup records, switched to new phone, lost all data entered on old phone.

This applicatipn is useless I want my money back It does not have a predefined list of car models and required services Is ridiculous This is a theft

Auto care is way better than this app... Check for yourself...

Great app however, it could really improve by saving the data to iCloud in case the device ever needs to be formatted or be able to be automatically be synced through iCloud or an email account and an export feature. On the iPad it just shows up as a small iPhone size that you can make bigger by pressing the 2X button but doesnt look as nice. Would be good to have an iPad dedicated app as well.

Deleting this app. Had a neat system for tracking all maintenance that was completely ruined once I tried to use the mileage/fuel consumption feature. Any errors in logging your mileage here result in the app suddenly throwing off all service record interval warnings. And it appears there is no way to fix this without starting all over. Ill start all over with someone elses app or maybe a little moleskin notebook and maybe a pen.
