I just keep a log book to track all maintenance and repairs and any other notes to help me next time. I then track the intervals using a separate log page to identify what requires changing / inspection when. For example I know when my plugs were changed and at what mileage they will require replacement. The log also has phone numbers of mechanics and other helpful nuggets I have found along the way. Simple things for simple minds....mind you I don’t have 4 vehicles to tend to.
