Car Diary

Your Car’s Story.
All of It, in One Place

Every car has a story. Yours is scattered across a glovebox of receipts, a folder of photos, and memory. GarageHub keeps it in one timeline per vehicle — every service, note, and photo, from purchase to today.

The Problem

Your Car's History Is Scattered

When did you last change the diff fluid? Which pads did you buy two years ago — and did they squeal? The answers exist, but they're spread across shop receipts, a parts-store account, three photo albums, and your own memory. Every repair starts with reconstructing what already happened.

A car with no record also sells like a car with no record. Buyers pay for documentation — and "trust me, it was maintained" isn't documentation.

The Timeline

One Record, in Order

Open any vehicle and the first thing you see is its diary — everything that ever happened to the car, merged into one chronological timeline.

  • Services and repairs — every log with date, mileage, cost, parts used, and photos.
  • Fixes, opened and closed — the rattle you noticed in March and the bushing that ended it in May, both on the record.
  • Notes and photos — quick observations, before/after shots, and anything worth remembering later.
  • Mileage updates — every reading, so the timeline knows when things happened in miles, not just dates.
  • Paperwork renewals — registration, inspection, and insurance dates sit in the same record, and warn you before they expire.
Effortless Entries

Write One Line. It's Part of the Record.

A diary only works if writing in it is easier than not writing in it. Type a line the way you'd say it — "oil change at 87,450, Mobil 1, new drain plug washer" — and it becomes a structured entry with mileage, cost, and parts filled in. Snap a receipt and GarageHub reads it into the log for you.

Already have years of history somewhere else? Photograph the shoebox of receipts or import a CSV from another app — your diary starts from the day you bought the car, not the day you installed GarageHub.

When You Sell

A Diary Today Is a History Report Tomorrow

When it's time to sell, your diary becomes proof. Premium turns it into a shareable, verified history report — one link a buyer can open, with mileage history and every documented service. You control what's visible: costs, shops, photos, and VIN are yours to show or hide, and you can revoke the link any time.

A documented car is worth more than an identical undocumented one. The diary you keep for yourself is the same one that closes the sale.
