Car maintenance, handled

Scan your car once. Never guess again.

AutoEase is a free car maintenance app for iPhone and Android. Scan your VIN, enter your mileage, and see at a glance whether your car needs anything: green, yellow or red. It reminds you before a service is due and checks for safety recalls. No account, no ads.

Set up in about a minute

Three steps. Then it watches for you.

No owner’s manual, no spreadsheet, no remembering when you last changed the oil.

  1. Scan your VIN

    Tap Get started and point your camera at the VIN barcode on the sticker inside the driver’s door. Or type the 17-character VIN.

  2. Enter your mileage

    Type the odometer reading from your dashboard. AutoEase sets up your schedule from there.

  3. Allow notifications

    Say yes, and AutoEase tells you before a service is due. Then you’re on your car’s dashboard: green, yellow or red.

What it does

Everything your car needs you to remember

For people who see their car as something that should just work. AutoEase does the remembering.

Scan once, done

Point your camera at the VIN barcode inside the driver’s door, or type the VIN. AutoEase looks up the year, make and model for you. No manual, no forms.

Green, yellow or red

One lamp tells you if your car needs anything. Each service shows how many miles or days are left before it’s due.

Reminders before, not after

A heads-up about a week before a service is due, and right away when a mileage update makes one due soon. Notifications are about your car only.

Safety recall alerts

When you open the app, and whenever you pull down on the Garage, AutoEase checks the U.S. government’s NHTSA recall database for your car’s make, model and year.

Service log

Tap a service and Mark as Done to reset its clock. Each job is saved with the date, mileage and, if you like, what it cost.

Export your history

Share your service log as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. Handy when you sell the car.

Fuel and MPG log

Log a fill-up with the odometer, gallons and cost. AutoEase works out your real miles per gallon.

To-fix list

Jot down the rattle or squeak you noticed so you remember it at your next visit. Tap it when it’s fixed.

Weather nudges

Optional and off until you turn it on. Get a heads-up to check tire pressure before a freeze, or coolant and battery before extreme heat.

On-time streak

Keep up with your services and a streak badge on the dashboard shows it. Recognition for good habits, not just nagging.

Backup to your own cloud

On from the start: automatic backup to your own iCloud (iPhone) or Google Drive (Android, once you link it), plus a backup file you can save anywhere. Free.

No account, no ads

No sign-up, no email address, no ads and no tracking in the app. Your car’s data stays on your phone.

How the status works

What green, yellow and red mean

Each service is checked against both miles and time, whichever comes first. The big lamp on your dashboard shows the most urgent one.

Good

Nothing to do. You’ll see how many miles or days are left.

Soon

Due within 30 days or 500 miles. Time to plan ahead.

Overdue

At or past its interval in miles or time. Book it now.

What it tracks

The schedule AutoEase starts with

Conservative intervals that suit most cars, with the oil change adjusted for makes that differ. Your owner’s manual always has the final word.

AutoEase’s starting intervals. Each service is due at the miles or the months, whichever comes first. * Oil change is 10,000 mi / 12 months for Toyota, Ford, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and 5,000 mi / 6 months for Nissan and Subaru.
