Chances are, if you’re terrible at keeping track of things like credit card bills, receipts, and mail, you perform similarly at keeping track of your car repairs. Fortunately Your Garage Online, a new vehicle management website, might be able to help you out.
Like so many of us out there, the site’s creator was frustrated with trying to stay on top of his car repairs and services using only a stuffed-to-the-brim glovebox. So, Your Garage Online was born. The site lets you enter in your vehicle information (make, year, and model) along with the option of including your plate, state of registration, and VIN number. Once you’ve done that, start taking out the yellow carbon copies from your car’s glovebox, backseat, console, etc, and start entering them into your new personalized online garage. For each receipt, you can enter in the mileage, date, cost, and name of facility where your car was serviced. You can store information for up to three vehicles in your account, which you can sign up for free of charge.
YourGarageOnline.com In Their Own Words
“Remember the last time you were driving down the road, and your transmission started making a clanking sound, or the air conditioner stopped blowing cold air? Was your next thought, “Didn’t I just get that repaired?”
Answering that question, at least for me, used to involve searching through a large file folder of thin, yellow, carbon copy paper slips from various repair shops; or worse, trying to find a receipt from the auto parts store for some random component I had installed myself in my driveway. Sometimes the slips were in chronological order, sometimes not. There had to be a better way. Thanks to Your Garage Online, that better way is here!”
Why YourGarageOnline.com It Might Be A Killer
Your Online Garage definitely offers a better way of managing your car’s repairs and maintenance costs than simple rifling through dozens of receipts every month when it’s time to pay off your credit card. Even if you know nothing about cars, this site won’t seem intimidating; none of the information required is anything beyond what even a 16-year-old who just got his or her license would know. For that exact reason, this site would be an excellent method of teaching your child how to manage vehicle expenses responsibly.
Some Questions About YourGarageOnline.com
Why does this site have to confine itself to car repair management? Could they capitalize on their idea and expand to home repairs and academic expenses as well? That way, they could cover the majority of most households’ expenditures. It would also be great if, by entering in your car’s VIN number, you could simultaneously access information about your car’s inspection, registration, and repairs that often are made available online by DMVs. Entering in all of your car’s information manually could become tedious.
