I must be a Luddite (but I work in IT).
I have a notebook in the glove compartment where I log all fuel purchases, oil added, and maintenance or repair items.
Receipts for fuel go in the glovebox notebook, and I have a manila folder in a filing cabinet for repair and parts receipts. The title is stapled to the manila folder, so I can hand the bundle to the buyer, if that day comes.

I do same. Instead of a paper notebook I use notepad on my iPhone (plain text easy to move around)

A really interesting development in this field would be an app that you can input the make/model/year/mileage of the car and it will *suggest* services and/or recommended maintenance... Presumably it could be programmed with recommended dealer maintenance intervals + peer / user input... Would take a while to build, but that would be cool... I'm assuming that doesn't exist already?

RE: Car records/maintenance logger software
The Luddite method works best, you get to touch and feel every actual receipt that you add into your record repository. Then the next person does also.
The 35 + year IT professional agrees with the former.
Though I do make entries in the Maintenance book also with notes and references to receipts in the folder.
