Keep a Maintenance Log in Your Glove Box

The Problem

You can't remember when you last changed the oil, rotated tires, or replaced brakes.

The Hack

Keep a small notebook in your glove box. After every service, write: date, mileage, what was done, cost. Review every 3 months to check what's coming due.

Why It Works

A documented maintenance history proves the car was well-maintained — increasing resale value 10-15%. It also prevents skipping scheduled maintenance because you forgot when the last service was.

Pro Tips

• Include: oil changes, tire rotations, brake service, fluid flushes
• App option: Drivvo or Simply Auto (free) track digitally
• Buyers pay more for a car with full service records
• Review every 3 months to see what's due next
