Reviews for CARFAX Car Care App

I do not recommend this app for logging standard maintenance records. Once a record is entered it cannot be altered or changed if you get it incorrect whether it is not listing everything that was done at a service or getting the mileage wrong, there is no fixing the problem. Tech support is non-existent they […]

Helps keep track of the maintenance required. I like that you can go back and looks up notes from the last services. 11/21/2020, I updated the app a couple days ago. Opened it today only to find that its asking for me to log-in, at which point I had to reset the password. Once I […]

This app is cool because it auto populates when you get service or register your car or there’s an open recall. You can then edit each entry or create your own. Things I don’t like: -You can’t enter two different gas stops on the same day. -You can’t add reminder items to the dashboard. There […]

It’s a neat app, I got tired of using notepad, it shows me services dating back 10+ years. But whenever I try to add/edit the date of a service I did, or add a note, it sets the date back a day automatically which is not functional, It shows my registration due date but its […]

This app is very helpful but has 2 big issues: First, you can’t track milease on multiple sets of tires (like summer/snow). Second, you can’t print/export your records to pass to a buyer when selling your car. Lastly, just as a suggested improvement, it would also be nice to track more fluid change intervals, especially […]

Good idea, but the app falls way short. A few weeks after loading pics of 2 years of service receipts, I went back to look at one and it only loads a black screen. I can’t see any of the receipts I loaded in, they all only show a black screen. can’t add your own […]

Was going to give five stars for a great app. However, that was before I learned this app made 279 attempts to send my tracking information to Apptentive and Adobe- including my GPS coordinates!!- in the time it took me to create an account and look at my cars’ records!!! No wonder they want me […]

A pretty solid app for tracking a lot of data about your vehicles. However, it lacks the ability to not only track important metrics like spark plugs, coolant flush, fuel filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc. Additionally, there’s no way to add these variables manually. If these features are added, I’ll definitely update my review […]

Mixed. I like being able to track fuel usage / mileage. Issue #1 – I was not able to add my license plate to the record. The screen came up and let me enter stuff in. The Check ✔️ icon did nothing and just closing it would not save information. Related – The Lic State […]

Been using this app for years now. The only complaints I have against it, is that it no longer shows the “fuel tracker” chart. It keeps saying not enough data. I have data dating back to 2022. Also wish the uploaded receipts were retained by the account and would sync between multiple devices. Makes no […]

Very helpful for keeping a record but for some reason isn’t tracking my miles properly or calculated how many miles driven since last oil change. You have to manually enter your daily miles but when I do it doesn’t properly update info. For example, it has been 3400 miles since last oil change and according […]

7/1/25 – Reinstalled and App is fixed again! Progress is happening! 👍 5/31/25 – App no longer works (Android). All the cars in My Garage are no longer there and I’m not able to add them back. Uninstalled/reinstalled did not fix. Contacted Support-they’re aware of issues with no ETA for the fix. My workaround is […]

App works well enough for me; but I have two suggestions. 1) Give users the ability to create a backup of ALL CAR DATA they have entered manually–repairs, gas tracker, tire mileage, etc onto the phone’s SIM card, internal memory, or a desktop or laptop computer. Having driven the same car for years, losing that […]

This used to be a great app. I had all my vehicles stored. And I loved that when I took it in for service it was automatically updated. Got a new (to me) car yesterday and tried to add it to my garage. Got a “Oops that didn’t work”, then a “Already associated with your […]

Have alot of time and effort involved on recording the maintenance on my cars and attaching pictures of receipts. Recently I noticed one of my vehicles was no longer in the garage portion of the app. I have reached out a couple of times now to support about the issue but after over 3 weeks […]

If everyone had this app. Everyone’s Cars would last much longer. I wish the password would stay on. once in a while you have to retype it. I wish it would let you write notes without to have to enter anything for service. I would like more flexibility in fluid check section. Would like to […]

Moving from Carango. Wanted to try something different. So far so good. Wish I could track the type of fuel and the station. Once you enter a note you can’t edit it or if you forget to enter a note you can’t edit the entry. You have to create a new one and enter the […]

It occasionally wipes all manual entries. I go to a mechanic who doesn’t use Carfax, so I will enter the repair and maintenance history myself. For whatever reason, after adding a new car to my profile, it will wipe these entries after a while. It’s a good thing I saved my receipts!! Recently, it even […]

I really like the app, but it has a couple of issues IMO that I just don’t understand. Why does the app limit you to fixed choices for service intervals, both mileage and months? If they must do this, there needs to be more choices, especially for the mileage interval. At a minimum, 1000 mile […]

Excellent way to track all of your vehicle services. You can set anything in here: oil changes and you can set how frequent (3,000 miles or longer) before you need to get an oil change. The only gripe I have is that it adds miles to the car even though you haven’t gone anywhere, so […]
