The garage logbook I wanted for my own cars

A clean system for the vehicles you actually care about.

Keep service history, mileage, parts, costs, and upcoming maintenance in one place — so you always know exactly what was done and what needs attention next.

Stop maintaining cars from memory.

If you've ever stood in the garage wondering whether you changed that fluid 5,000 miles ago or 15,000 miles ago, this is for you.

  • "I think I did it around 120k."
  • Receipts in the glovebox.
  • Notes scattered across your phone.
  • A spreadsheet you forgot to update.

Time to Wrench keeps the whole story attached to the vehicle.

Log it. Keep it current. Know what's next.

Step 1

Log the work

Add maintenance or repairs while they're fresh: mileage, cost, parts, provider, notes, and the services that were performed.

Step 2

Keep mileage current

Update the odometer in seconds so mileage-based maintenance stays useful instead of becoming another stale reminder system.

Need someone else to send you the mileage? Give them a check-in link. No account required.

Step 3

See what needs attention

Time to Wrench keeps the history behind you and the maintenance ahead of you in the same place.

Want the full walkthrough?

I'll show you exactly why I built it and how I use it in my own garage.

Know exactly what was done.

I'm the kind of owner who wants to know exactly when the timing belt went in — not roughly, exactly. Time to Wrench gives every vehicle a service timeline you can actually trust.

  • Date and mileage
  • Services performed
  • Parts used
  • Cost
  • Provider
  • Notes

Date, mileage, or whichever comes first.

Some maintenance ages out. Some wears out with miles. Time to Wrench can track either — or both — and surface what actually needs attention without turning into a notification machine.

Low-noise reminders. No spam.

Keep the odometer current in seconds.

Mileage reminders are only useful if the mileage is current. Quick check-ins make that easy — including a shareable check-in link when somebody else has the keys.

"What's the mileage on the Cruiser?"

Send link → enter odometer → done.

When you own more than one vehicle, remembering each maintenance schedule is where things get stupid. Keep every vehicle together and see which one actually needs attention.

Public history links

A service history you can hand to the next owner.

Maintenance records are valuable when they are organized, readable, and easy to share. Time to Wrench lets you create a clean, read-only public history for one vehicle when you want to show the story behind it.

Receipts, dates, mileage, and notes in one place

Show what was done without forwarding screenshots, PDFs, or a messy folder of invoices.

Private until you choose to share

Your garage stays private. Share links are generated one vehicle at a time and can be revoked or deleted.

Helpful for selling, buying, or proving care

A documented history can answer buyer questions before they ask and make a well-kept vehicle easier to trust.

Why I built it

I wanted a better record for the cars I actually care about.

Time to Wrench started as a tool for my own garage. I wanted one place where I could pull up a car and know exactly what had been done, what parts I used, what it cost, and what was coming due next.

I couldn't find anything that worked quite the way my brain wanted it to, so I built it. It is the same kind of documentation mindset I bring to my own vehicles and the builds I share on JJ in Motion.

If you're the kind of owner who cares whether the timing belt was changed at 89,412 miles instead of "sometime around 90k," you're probably the kind of person I built it for too.

This is the same tool I use on my own cars — not a separate demo built for the landing page.

Your maintenance history should stay yours.

Private by default

Your garage, service history, and mileage records are visible only to you unless you deliberately share them.

Sharing is opt-in

Public vehicle-history links are created one vehicle at a time. You can revoke or delete a link at any time, and set it to expire.

You control your vehicles

Remove a vehicle from your garage whenever you're done with it.

You can delete your account

Account deletion is available directly from your profile settings, anytime.

Pay once. Keep your garage.

No subscription. Pick the number of vehicles you need and you're done.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription?

No. Time to Wrench is sold as a one-time purchase based on how many vehicles you want in your garage — $20 for 1 vehicle, $60 for up to 5, or $150 for unlimited. There's no recurring charge.

Is my garage public?

No. Your account, garage, and service history are private by default. If you want to share one vehicle's history — for example when selling it — you can generate a public, view-only link for that vehicle. You can revoke or delete that link at any time, and optionally set it to expire.

How do mileage-based reminders work?

A maintenance item can be due by date, mileage, or both. When both are set, Time to Wrench tells you which threshold is coming up first, and repeat notifications are spaced out so you get a heads-up without being spammed.

Can I use it for more than one car?

Yes. The Solo plan covers 1 vehicle, Garage covers up to 5, and Unlimited has no vehicle limit at all.

Can I use it from my phone?

Yes. Time to Wrench is a responsive web app designed to be usable from the phone you already have with you in the garage. There's no separate native app to install.

What happens when I sell a vehicle?

You can generate a public, read-only history link and hand it to the buyer, then remove the vehicle from your garage whenever you're ready. There isn't currently a feature to transfer a vehicle's history to another Time to Wrench account.

Can a shop use Time to Wrench?

Yes, if what you need is a clean way to maintain vehicle histories. Time to Wrench is not full shop-management software — it doesn't try to replace repair orders, scheduling, invoicing, or a CRM.

Why does my receipt say Apex Solutions LLC?

Payments are processed for Apex Solutions LLC, so that name — rather than "Time to Wrench" — may appear on your receipt or card statement.

Stop trying to remember everything.

Put your maintenance history in one place and know exactly where every vehicle stands.
