With general car maintenance, I personally have a tip to help keep track of my maintenance visits. With part of the package you receive when you bought the vehicle, along with the owners manual comes a maintenance schedule book. The maintenance schedule book has full details with a place to enter the date, who did the work and what the work was done. Using the maintenance schedule book allows you to keep a very clean track of your maintenance visits. The nice thing about these little schedule books is that it makes a very valuable tool for when you go to sell the vehicle as you have a little document which is easy to read, it's not just a bunch of receipts and notes all stapled together. The maintenance schedule book is a very clean document showing that you've treated the car and its maintenance schedule with the most respect.
