Car maintenance checklist

Vehicle jobs follow different clocks: some repeat by date, others depend on mileage. Keep a list for each vehicle and use its service schedule to decide when work is due.

Separate dates from mileage

Use a calendar reminder to review the odometer for mileage-based work. Add the mileage at completion to task notes; these examples do not provide automatic odometer tracking.

Your starting checklist

Open a task for an example setup and a reason to track it. Adjust these suggested frequencies before adding tasks to your routine.

Illustrative schedules, not universal maintenance recommendations. Follow manufacturer instructions and adapt intervals to your home, equipment, pets, and local conditions.

Keep the routine going with Donetick.

Once you have chosen the jobs that fit, create a task for each one in Donetick. Set its first due date, choose a recurring schedule, and assign it to yourself or a household member. Use labels to keep related work together.

For calendar-based routines, repeat from the due date. For jobs that should wait a set interval after the work is done, repeat from completion. Mark each task done to keep a record: Basic includes 30 days of history, and Plus includes full available history.

A few more answers.

Can Donetick automatically track vehicle mileage?

This template is a manual planning aid. Add mileage information to your tasks and check the odometer yourself. Follow the service schedule for your vehicle and your local registration requirements.

Can I add this whole template to Donetick?

Not automatically yet. Copy this checklist for reference, create a Donetick account, and add the tasks you want with your own dates and recurrence.

Can I change these suggested schedules?

Yes. These are starting points. Choose intervals that suit your household and follow the relevant equipment instructions. Tasks based on conditions or mileage need your own review rather than a fixed calendar interval.
