The service book your collection never had.

One schedule across every car you keep. Add a VIN and the factory intervals arrive drafted; from then on it tracks miles, months and tire dates across the collection — and stays quiet until something is genuinely due.

The MotorVigil dashboard on a phone: two cars overdue, the service list ranked by urgency, and the odometer check-in.
The short version
Forty-nine seconds, start to finish.

A VIN goes in and the factory schedule comes back drafted. Miles, months and tire dates run in the background. You log what a visit covered and the clocks restart from that mileage — and the app stays quiet until something is genuinely due.

Narrated, with captions on screen. Nothing loads until you press play.

01
Add the car

A VIN — typed, or photographed off the door jamb. The factory schedule is drafted for that engine in about half a minute.

02
Say what has been done

Tick what a visit covered and the clocks restart from that mileage. Old invoices go in as history without moving anything.

03
Then leave it alone

It watches every interval on every car and speaks when one comes due. If nothing is due, nothing arrives.

Why it exists
A second car doubles the cars. It squares the admin.
The intervals disagree

Every marque counts differently — miles on one, months on another, both on a third. Four cars is four schedules in four glove boxes.

The clock runs while it sits

Brake fluid ages in the garage. Tires expire on a date, not a mileage. The car you drive least is the one that surprises you.

The paperwork is the value

A documented history is part of what a collectible is worth. A folder of receipts is not the same as a record you can search.

What it does
Everything due, in one order, across every car.

Mileage and calendar intervals are ranked together by how much of each interval is left — so a car four months overdue for brakes sits above one that has a fortnight-old odometer reading.

It knows what your car needs

Enter a VIN and the factory schedule is drafted for you — decoded, dated, and editable to the last cell. Anything it is unsure of is flagged for review rather than asserted.

It watches the odometer

Every mileage forecast depends on a current reading, so a stale one is treated as a problem in its own right — ranked below real mechanical work, never buried.

It never overwrites history

Tread readings, oil levels and service records are dated and kept. Logging an invoice you found in a drawer cannot rewind the car.

Not a mock-up
The same engine, with a dial on it.

Drag the odometer and watch four intervals change their minds. The oil comes due on distance, the annual service on the calendar, and which of them matters most depends entirely on where the car is — which is the whole argument for keeping one list instead of four.

It runs the same ranking function the dashboard, the vehicle card and the nightly email all read, so it can only ever tell you what the product would.

Try it
Move the odometer.

One car, four intervals. The list below is ranked by the real engine, not a mock-up of one.

  • Annual service + brake fluid4 MO OVER
  • Cabin and engine air filters2 MO OVER
  • Spark plugsIN 6 MO
  • Engine oil and filterIN 2 MO

Ranked by how much of each interval is left, not by the raw number — which is how a 40,000 mi item can sit above a 10,000 mi one, and how miles and months end up in a single list.

From a VIN, in about half a minute
It arrives knowing the car.

Type or photograph the VIN and the factory schedule is drafted — every interval, in miles and months, for that engine and that gearbox. Nothing is locked: every cell is editable, and anything the draft is unsure of arrives flagged for review rather than asserted as fact.

What you confirm is yours. What you delete never comes back.

Where the work actually happens
Built to be used standing next to the car.

One invoice usually closes several intervals at once, so what was done is a checklist of that car’s own schedule — tick the rows the visit covered and every clock restarts at the mileage you enter. Anything outside the schedule goes in beside it, recorded without moving a thing.

Readable in a badly lit garage, one-handed, with the engine still ticking.

Logging a service on a phone: the car named at the top, then its schedule as a checklist with each interval and how overdue it is.
The clock that runs while it sits
Rubber ages on a date, not a mileage.

The DOT code says the week a tire was made, so the app can tell you a set is ageing out years before the tread does. Depths are recorded per corner and dated — a later reading never overwrites an earlier one, so wear is a line you can follow rather than a number you replace.

Every tread reading is kept and dated, so wear is a trend rather than a single number, and tire age is tracked from the DOT code.
Who it’s for
Three ways of caring about the same thing.
The enthusiast
Cars you drive, not just own
  • Track-day oil checks that reset the clock
  • Tire tread and age tracked per corner
  • Log a service from your phone beside the car
The collector
History that holds its value
  • Every invoice searchable years later
  • Storage-aware rules for cars that sit
  • One record per car, from the day it arrived
The fleet manager
Answering for other people's cars
  • Household members with their own logins
  • Your shop on the digest without an account
  • Read-only access for anyone who just watches
The part that works while you don’t
Silence is the default.

One email, weekly or monthly, and only when something is actually due. Nothing open means nothing sent — the surest way to make a reminder worth reading is to send fewer of them.

Each person chooses their own cadence and whether they hear about everything or only what is overdue. Your specialist can be on the list without an account.

On the phone in your pocket
It goes on the home screen.

No app store, no download, no account with a second company. Add it from the browser and it gets its own icon, opens full screen, and stays signed in — which matters because of where this app is used: beside the car, one-handed, reading a number off a cluster.
