01 / Stay ahead of repairs
Why you need it:
maintenance is cheaper than repairs
Small services done on time prevent the big failures. Oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brakes and tires all wear out on a schedule; when the schedule slips, the repair bill grows.
About $100
saved per shop visit by keeping up with routine maintenance.
Estimate from AAA Approved Auto Repair facilities, 20152 million tows
for engine trouble and 600,000 for transmission failure in a single year.

A schedule you don't have to keep in your head.
CarKept keeps a schedule for every vehicle, due-soon and overdue badges, one email digest, and mileage nudges — so the next service stays on your radar.
Intervals are general guidelines — follow your owner's manual.
02 / Keep the proof
Warranties only pay
if you can prove it
Batteries, alternators, starters, brake parts, tires and extended service contracts often carry warranties measured in months and miles — and they are only worth money if you know they exist and can show the receipt.
Know what's still covered.
Every part, tire set and vehicle warranty in one Warranty tab, with days and miles remaining and a warning before it expires.
Proof of purchase in your pocket.
Photo or PDF of each receipt attached to the part or service, so it's there at the counter when you need it.
Protect your factory warranty.
Per the FTC, routine maintenance by an independent shop or by you does not, by itself, void your warranty. Keep all service records and receipts: a claim can be denied if improper maintenance caused the problem.Federal Trade Commission consumer alert: Auto Warranties, Routine Maintenance, and Repairs
