One ledger for every car in the household

The family SUV, the commuter hatch, and the weekend project car do not share one maintenance schedule — but they often share one junk drawer of receipts. Households with multiple vehicles need per-car history, not one blended note called "car stuff."

Separate timelines, shared habits

Give each vehicle its own profile: make, model, VIN if you like, photo for quick recognition. When anyone logs fuel or service, they pick the right car first. The habit takes a week; the payoff lasts years.

My Car Journal puts the active fleet up front and moves sold cars into history — so the garage screen stays calm even if you have owned eight cars over a decade.

Who logs what

You do not need everyone on a shared spreadsheet. One person can be the primary logger; others forward photos of invoices to add later. What matters is that entries land on the correct vehicle with date and odometer — not which phone typed them.

Household-level insight

Pro unlocks unlimited active cars and unlimited sold cars in History — same logging and statistics, without hitting a limit. Garage-wide stats show total spend, category breakdown, recurring costs, and biggest expenses across every car you track.

Free is enough to start

Free includes one active car, one sold car in History, all log types, and spending insights within those limits. When you add a second car, the app shows a clear upgrade screen — not a generic popup. Same workflow after you go Pro.
