Know when your car's next service is due

Who it is for

• People who forget service dates or only find out when they are overdue.
• People who want all their car's service dates in one ordered list.
• People who know the interval they want for an item and prefer to set it themselves.

How to use it

1. Add your car. The maintenance plan is built automatically.
2. Log the last service for each item you know, so Motorak can work out when it is next due.
3. Update the odometer reading when it changes, because a due date can depend on distance.
4. Check the "Maintenance Plan" screen, sorted by how soon each item is due: "Now" for what is due, "This month" for what is 30 days or 500 km away or less, then the scheduled items after that, and "Later" for items with no date yet.
5. In an item's "Reminder settings", keep "Automatic, by Motorak" or choose "Your own interval", in kilometres, months or both.

Example

What you need

• A car in Motorak and its current odometer reading.
• The date and odometer reading of the last service, for each item you want to track.
• "Maintenance alerts" turned on, so the alerts reach you.

What it does not do

• An item with no known interval gets no due date until you set one yourself.
• An item gets no reminder until you log its last service.
• The maintenance alert arrives when the service falls due, not before. The plan shows upcoming dates before then.
• Motorak only knows your odometer reading from what you enter. It reminds you to update it 30 days after your last reading.
• Until Motorak learns how far you drive each month, it may show only the odometer reading at which the service is due, with no expected date.
• The dates are guidance and do not replace your owner's manual or a qualified technician.

Availability and price

Motorak is available on iOS and Android and is free to download. The maintenance plan and its reminders need no payment, and the published version currently has no in-app purchases.

Where do the intervals come from?

For each item, Motorak uses the first of these that is available:

1. Your own interval, if you set one.
2. The interval for the product type you chose when you logged the service, if the item has product types.
3. A schedule for your car's model that Motorak's AI collected from public web pages, if it covers this item. The source may be the manufacturer or another website.
4. A general interval Motorak uses for that type of item.

We do not present these intervals as your manufacturer's schedule. If they differ, follow your owner's manual or a qualified technician, and set the interval that suits you.
