Every car's maintenance and recalls, handled in one spreadsheet
Set each service item's interval from your owner's manual and update the odometer; Milewren shows what is overdue, due soon or OK for each car, whichever comes first, miles or months. Service and fuel logs give MPG, cost per mile and yearly costs, and a recall-check log reminds you to look up every VIN every 6 months. Included: a 10-page guide to the last 12 months of US vehicle recalls, built from NHTSA data, with how to check your VIN and get a free repair.

How it works

FAQ
Why not a single-car log template?
The $9.99 and $11.99 Gumroad trackers log costs and mileage. Milewren is $9 and adds a schedule by miles or months for 5 cars, MPG, recall checks and a recall guide.
Why not a car app?
Many need an account or a plug-in device; this is a private file for all your vehicles.
Is the recall data current?
The guide is a dated 12-month snapshot; always check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the live answer.
Are the service intervals right for my car?
They're common placeholders; replace them with your owner's manual intervals.
