Default Handy Maintenance log App?

Does anyone out there have an app that they especially like for logging the service you do? Oil changes, oil fills, brakes, etc...? I kept mine on a large dry erase board in the garage that I had to move somewhere else.

I've just been using a spreadsheet stored on Google Drive.

Here is a good opportunity to develop such an App, if it doesn't exist.

Why not use the maintenance log book that Porsche puts in every car?

I just use a small book which is kept with each car. Saves everything.

I keep data in each car written in the back of the owner's manual or maintenance log book if available.

I use Car Care but there are others in the App Store. Its a very simple and uninspired app but it gets the job done.

Dealer and most Indy shops have good software too nowadays, you can always ask them to print or email you your service history. When I call my Indy, they always go over the history with me after asking the mileage, then recommend proper services needed, most of the time it is just oil/filter changes.

Thanks for the input. I wound up with auto care. It seems to keep everything I need and is customizable. Thanks!
