GarageHub vs Fuelly — which one fits how you wrench?

You don't start from an empty garage. Export your Fuelly services from the vehicle's Log Book and choose the file on the GarageHub web app. GarageHub matches the columns for you, and you check the rows before anything is saved. Fuel logs from Fuelly are coming soon. No file? Snap photos of old receipts, or tell Rev what's been done and it drafts the entries.

• Export your history as a CSV and upload it on the web app. Match the columns once, and duplicates are skipped.
• Or snap photos of your old service receipts — GarageHub's AI drafts each entry for you
• Or tell Rev, GarageHub's AI mechanic, what's been done — it drafts the entries from your answers
• Check the drafts once, then save them. Free for up to 50 entries, unlimited on Premium.

Fuelly has been around for a long time and does one thing very well: tracking real-world fuel economy. You log fill-ups, it calculates your MPG over time, and you can compare your numbers against a large community dataset of the same make and model.

That community angle is genuinely useful when you're shopping for a car and want to know what owners actually get at the pump, or when you suspect your own economy has drifted and want a baseline.

Maintenance is a side feature, not the core. You can log services and set reminders alongside fill-ups, but there's only a basic parts list, no prioritized issue list, no build tracking, and nothing that helps you figure out what to actually do when something's wrong.

GarageHub is for people who work on their own cars. Fuel is one line item. The real work is the service history, the parts on the shelf, what's due next and getting unstuck mid-repair.

Rev, the AI mechanic, is the core of GarageHub. It reads your service history and knows your car's year, make, model and mods. So its answers fit your own car, not a forum thread about some other one. Send a photo of a leak and Rev tells you what it sees.

If you're looking for the best car maintenance app for DIY work — not just an MPG log — GarageHub covers the whole garage.

Answers that start from your car's history

Fuelly has no AI features. Rev, GarageHub's AI mechanic, reads everything in your garage first: your cars, service logs, parts and open issues. Ask "when should I change my timing belt?" and Rev checks your mileage and service history before it answers.

Maintenance first, fuel second

In Fuelly, maintenance sits beside the fuel logs. In GarageHub, it comes first: service logs with cost, mileage, parts and photos, a schedule with reminders, and a to-fix list by priority, so the backlog doesn't live in your head.

Know which parts you already have

GarageHub tracks every part you own: what's installed, what's on the shelf and what you still need. When you log a job, the parts you used come off your shelf. Fuelly's aCar app keeps a basic parts list for future purchases, nothing more.

Plan the build and know what to fix first

Building a project car? Plan it in stages, track progress and keep a to-fix list sorted by critical, soon and someday. Fuelly is designed around fuel economy for daily drivers, not builds.
