CARFAX Car Care for Positive User Reviews
✓ Where is fuel tracking?I used the app to track numerous items. Now all my fuel tracking is gone. I’m assuming this feature has been removed. Moving to something else..Version: 3.0.1
✓ CarfaxLove the App. Easy to keep track of all vehicle maintenance records. Just suggest to have more options for oil change intervals..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Best sports luxury carI recently traded my Infiniti G 35 for the Q60 LUXE and have been very pleased with the comfort and drivability not to mention how fast this car is. Since this is my first car with a turbo engine it took some getting use to the turbo lag but now not a problem. The car has beautiful exterior styling and interior is comfortable in driver compartment. I have no problem with the infotainment system even tho I have read many negative views. It has very good gas mileage I drove 320 miles in eco mode and use less than half of tank of gas and was not in conservative driving mode. This car drives well in all modes as I don’t have any plans on taking it to a track just wanted a car with power and comfort and the Q60 fits the bill..Version: 3.6
✓ Feature RequestLove the app, would be five stars easily if: There was a missed fuel-up option, so that my mileage tracking doesn’t get skewed if I forget to track one or more fuel ups. With the option, it would just start tracking anew, I believe other fuel tracking apps have this feature. An option to track service intervals for maintenance items, like spark plugs or transmission fluid. For vehicles that don’t have a recommended service interval in the app, it would be nice to be allowed to manually input repair or maintenance items and set a mileage or time interval to keep track. Outside of just oil and tire rotations, and brake inspections, air filter, transmission fluid, coolant, belts, and other maintenance items would be fantastic if we could keep track of when those were last done and when they will need to be done..Version: 3.30
✓ Great reminder to get my car serviced on timeI love it! The app helps me to get my car serviced done on time, reminds me and tells me how many more miles until my next service and the price range for each service needed. It also finds qualified shops near me; As well as keeping track of my average mileage every time I fill up my gas tank. -Right now I’m servicing my car and my Carfax app is already showing me that the car service is done... as I’m waiting for the technician to let me know that my car is done..Version: 3.1
✓ App updateI love the app it is set up very nice and convenient to remind you when your car needs service maintenance etc. The only thing that I have an issue with is whenever your phone does an update or the app doesn’t update on your phone like iOS it does not store your DIY information regarding the maintenance do you or have done on your vehicle and you lose your information and you have to go ahead and put it back in again it is so frustrating. It would be nice if they re-engineered the app that it will allow to save everything including your DIY maintenance that you do and not lose it every time you have an update..Version: 3.21.1
✓ Great app! Has some bugs thoLove being able to keep track of all of my DIY maintenance and non reported shop services! But the fuel economy tracker is a bit buggy. If you forget to add a fill up, then go back and add it after adding your most recent, the numbers for the most recent won’t update. So all of a sudden I got 50mpg this week. If you delete it and re enter it, it works fine but it’s a bit annoying. Overall I still love it and will continue to use it :).Version: 3.4
✓ New phone, no data transferred with existing account??Would be nice if I didn’t have to RE-ENTER all the data I’ve accumulated with 5 vehicles over the past few years!!!.Version: 2.51
✓ Problems changing the intervals oil change to KM 10,000Having problems changing the intervals on oil change to KM 10,000.Version: 2.55.1
✓ Well-Integrated, Featured Tracking AppGreat choice for anyone who cares to track their vehicle maintenance, recalls and kilometres. Would like to see an option to prevent automatic kilometre adjustments and instead keep the user’s input..Version: 3.1
✓ Very nice app! There is even real people behind it!I recently left a bad review about the app, and I received a developer response by email. They helped me fixing the issue (that at the end had been an error on my side). I was able to retrieve all the data I had been uploading to the app for years, and now the service history for my car is up to date. Even if the app is free, the developer took the extra step to make an user happy. Thank you very much! Keep up the good work!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Best App for Maitnace recording and reminders.We have three vehicles and sometimes it’s hard to remember when to rotate our tires, oil changes, state inspections... I highly recommend you use the app for a piece of mind. Also when you sell your vehicle and a potential buyers sees your vehicles CarFax they will know you did your maintenance on time. This kind of record keeping will allow you to get top dollar on a trade or when you sell your vehicle privately..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Basic CarNissan Micra is a basic car, which could let you go from point A to point B without any problem. Love it so far!.Version: 3.16.1
✓ Good not greatThis is a good app for maintaining records and services. I like the fuel tracking feature. I would really love to see an added feature of having a second set of tires. (If someone has a winter set and a summer set). This would allow a user to show when they switched sets and then later on can switch back. Currently there is no way to designate this and you have to add a brand new set of tires. This doesn’t help with tracking miles and such. If that feature comes out then definitely 5 stars..Version: 3.30
✓ Great app for staying on top of maintenanceI recently discovered this app after purchasing new tires and wanting to do a better job of staying on top of rotating them more frequently. My last tires did not last as long as they should have and I know I didn’t keep up with alignments and rotations like I should have. Once I created my profile and entered my VIN number, I was shocked to see my entire car maintenance downloaded for a complete history! Now I can refer back to the last time I did each service and get notification when the next service and annual inspection is due. I have been telling others about this app and I don’t do that for very many apps. Get it!.Version: 3.27
✓ Great app is you get your car serviced at dealersAfter first setting this up with my four vehicles, I was very pleasantly surprised by how much data myCARFAX is able to automatically pull in. Very cool!!! But when it comes to manual entry, the interface is clunky and cumbersome. For example the spinner for selecting day of month (for a service date) constantly readjusts itself - so picking a date took me a full minute. Why not just let someone type in the day? If the app team did some useabity testing on the manual entry screens and cleaned up that mess, I’d easily give this 5 stars..Version: 2.49
✓ AwesomeLove this app, reminders, service item approximate costs, and it allows you to update / add service records and receipts!!!.Version: 3.4
✓ Great toolI love using Carfax car care it is a good tool to help maintain Your vehicles and keep up with the maintenance. And one nice Feature it will let you know when a maintenance is due also when you Trade out of your current vehicle for a new one the dealers look at the carfax to see if the vehicle was maintained . I recently traded my vehicle for a new one the dealer gave me the full trade value do to my carfax report highly recommend using carfax it pays off in the long run..Version: 3.29
✓ Fantastic way to track maintenanceThanks CarFax for the amazing way to track when my vehicle needs to be maintained and open recalls, as well as operating manual scheduled maintenance. I also appreciate the opportunity to track oil jobs that I complete myself.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Mileage tracker returns!Nice to see the mileage tracker back in the new version..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Overall Great App With Some BugsA great app to track what repairs you get for your car and when. It’s super helpful for remembering when and where you’ve had your car serviced. You can even see service history for your used car that predates when you owned it supported by the breadth of CarFax’s auto service history database. There are a couple of weird bugs that prevent this from being a 5-star app. I’m getting an error whenever trying to upload a PDF receipt using the Upload Existing PDF option. Also, when I write a review for a garage, the apostrophes are removed from the review. A few quirky bugs that when fixed would improve the app..Version: 3.19
✓ Really good, missing a few featuresI really love how it takes data from carfax and it combines it with manually entered data, that makes it incredibly useful. The one feature that it needs to add it is more scheduled items on the dashboard (make it configurable), I would like to see brake fluid intervals, cabin air filter, air filter, transmission, etc. Many cars don’t have maintenance reminders, even so many owners don’t follow them exactly. It would be an amazing feature!.Version: 3.12
✓ Pretty good but still needs work.I downloaded this app to track service history on an almost 20-year old vehicle. What I love is that the service and registration history auto populated after adding the vehicle to my garage in the app. It shows them by date and shop, and even lets me edit and search for the shop if it doesn’t show. The auto populate feature isn’t 100% accurate. What I dislike is that I can’t delete services that did not happen, only add others that aren’t showing. I’ll use a bit longer and just make notes under each service when it says something happened that is not on the receipt I’m also uploading..Version: 3.2
✓ First availableWhat year was this app first available on iOS or google play?.Version: 3.7
✓ Love this app, but...This app is great for keeping track of services on our 7 Toyota’s. I love how it’s intuitive enough to load a vehicle by plate number, automatically receives updated registration and/or inspection info, and does a great job of keeping up with mileage. However my two small gripes with it are: 1- I don’t like the new “confirm mileage” that seems to want confirmation weekly. 3 of our vehicles are driven very rarely and digging out keys every week to check mileage and confirm is kind of a nuisance. 2- I don’t like the maintenance schedules preloaded mileage choice. For example, tires... the choices go from 5,000 to 7,500 miles between rotations. I buy all my tires at Costco, they set a 6,000 mile rotation schedule. So I either have to choose 5,000 in the app and go “over” on mileage for rotations or choose 7,500 and risk going over Costco’s 6,000 schedule because I won’t get a reminder on my app for 1,500 more miles. On a side note, what happened to the ability to change the order that my vehicles are in in my garage? I try to order mine based on how often they’re driven so the vehicles that see more use are at the top. Tonight I added a brand new vehicle and was unable to change it out of the bottom (latest) entry..Version: 2.57
✓ Cool AppEasy used app.Version: 2.55.1
✓ Great app; one possible improvementLove this app for tracking my car maintenance. One change I’d like is to how it tracks mileage. The gas fill feature is buried and so inconvenient to access; plus it will not save a refill record unless you’re connected to WiFi or data, so I have to record each fill up manually and then enter it when I get home. Finally, the mileage recorded for a fill-up does not update the mileage for the car elsewhere in the app, so what’s up with that? If the refuel feature was better integrated with the rest of the app, this would be a perfect app. As it is, very useful; definitely recommended..Version: 2.56.2
✓ Nice Overall but Missing Key FeatureThe app has a clean and easy to use interface but it is missing a key feature. I need to be able to set more maintenance reminders than just oil and tire rotation. I want it to tell me when I need to replace coolant or an air filter and when those will be done so that I can make a to do list for myself and knock them out all at once. For example, I need the reminder to swap coolant every 3 years as recommended for my car without having to scroll through and figure out when I did it last. Add that in and this would jump up to 5 stars pretty quickly..Version: 3.3
✓ Could be betterYes, it does help keep it track of our five vehicles. But entries take forever to register with Carfax and warnings about entered service continue showing. Constant reminders to visit App Store to 'upgrade' this app are frustrating - no upgrades show as available. Easy to use, helpful, but the frustration isn't worth the effort, as today's oil change entries won't clear the warnings for a week or more, and checking to see if they've cleared only produces popups warning me to visit the App Store to upgrade my app for better service. Might visit to see what else is available!.Version: 2.36.1
✓ Gas mileage gone?App works. Sad that gas mileage tracking is gone..Version: 3.0
✓ Almost thereFirst of all, it’s free so not much to complain about there. I love the fact that it keeps up with information on the car based upon the vin. At a glance, you can see the estimated car value and any recalls that may come out on your specific vehicle. I’ve only got two things I feel would improve the app. 1. Scheduled service mileage at a glance. They give an approximate date at a glance but you have to enter a new screen to get the mileage for the next service. Small issue but a glance would be nice when I have so many vehicles in my garage. 2. A place to put part numbers for servicing of each vehicle would be great. Maybe in the “glovebox” there could be a place for oil filter number, air filter number, etc. in order to grab this, you’ll need to go to your maintenance history and find the last service done - IF you even recorded it there..Version: 3.8
✓ Best automotive service records app ever!I discovered this app after I bought a newer Ford Expedition for myself. First, you can add any VIN to pull up service records of a vehicle, so if you're car or truck shopping, it's a handy tool to look at vehicle history. Second, you can add your own service records, upload copies of receipts for parts and labor, input odometer readings, oil changes, vehicle maintenance, etc. You can add multiple vehicles to your "garage" and the app even knows when your registration is due and sends you reminders. You can also pull up open recalls, maintenance intervals, and keep track of your tire tread lifemfor all of your cars and trucks. All of this is directly linked to the nationwide carfax database. Some mechanic shops and all dealerships automatically update service records into this app, but if they don't, you can add them yourself. Give it a try, and embrace technology to make your life easier..Version: 3.0
✓ Happy CAR!!!!!I absolutely love Carfax. I know exactly what services I need and when, and also according to the age of my car and mileage, important things that need to get done before Carfax I didn’t know when I should get certain stuff done, and it made me very nervous.!!! And I bought myself a new car it was so important to me to take very good care of it and with Carfax I can absolutely do that now 100% in my car always runs great thank you Please don’t ever get rid of Carfax I would be so lost, Carfax you’re my best friend!!!.Version: 3.29
✓ CarfaxThis is an amazing app for anyone interested in keeping track of their vehicle. Only wish this app could link to my wife’s app and update on my phone using family sharing or something similar. Hope the developer decides to do this as it would make it so much better and far easier for me to track my wife’s cars needs, oil change, fuel consumption etc… from my phone..Version: 3.6
✓ A little tool the big knowledgeThis little app was awesome it help me keep my truck and car organized for fuel economy change of tires and keep track of all problems that may persist in the future.Version: 3.0
✓ Could be more flexibleMy maintenance handbook suggests tire rotation every 4 months, but the app only allows every 3 or 6..Version: 3.18
✓ Good App, but not fair it doesn’t allow mechanic service to appear on history reportsI’m a certified tech, so I work on my own vehicles. This app is good in that it lets you document your service work, except there doesn’t appear to be an option to allow these services to appear on Carfax History reports unless your a dealer. Really? Why not a paid for option for customers that take their cars to ASE certified shops to be able to record service work? The problem is Carfax history reports miss a lot of important information and are not reporting all relevant service work, which could easily be rectified by allowing car owners to upload receipts which would then put those services on history reports....C’mon Carfax, don’t just cater to “dealers” your preventing accurate information from being recorded, end users would be willing to have a paid option that would allow your data to be a lot more accurate overall....Version: 3.2.2
✓ Repair noted before my dealer saleO2 sensor causing check engine light to be on. Dealership has tried 2 sensors and a catalytic converter and still no luck with it. Sadly, I love the car, but dealership has offered to buy it back. They have gone out of their way to help fix the problem, but, the low cost and high cost of repairs ( 8 days of loner car, 2 nd. O2 sensor, testing and new catalytic converter) the check engine light was out, I drove 1 mile to the gas station and it went on again. I may be returning the car to the dealer..Version: 3.25
✓ Car careThis is not always true to each situation. It seems to be based on average driving and car care. It is always off due to the fact that my husband is an auto tech and does all the up keep and maintenance. Even when I enter the services done, I continue to get messages that there is service due. Frustrating and sad that the price of the car may be impacted y this type of information which is not always accurate.Version: 3.29
✓ Great app!I found a lot of history on my truck through this CARFAX Car Care app, including finding out the prior owner replaced the timing belt at 95,000 miles. I was buying it from a dealership at 115,000 miles. I was excited I did not have to make that large financial decision. I would not have known otherwise. I can enter in some of my own mechanical work, which is the same quality or better than taking it to a shop. Great CARFAX app for shopping for a vehicle and great Care Care app!.Version: 3.18
✓ Nothing is workingCan’t seem to find any info on my vehicles!.Version: 2.45.2
✓ Une belle découverteJ’ai découvert tous les côtés pratiques de cette application. Superbe, tant pour un véhicule neuf que pour une auto avec une longue historique!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ More car addsI wish you good add more vehicles.Version: 3.0
✓ Good but the UI should be improvedI hope for a better UI , sorting, search, visual candy....Version: 3.1.1
✓ Good app that could be betterPosting this mostly for wanted enhancements. Like that I can see when next oil change, tire rotation are due but would like this also for the following: engine air filter, coolant flush, transmission flush, cabin air filter. And be able to set the mileage increment for those things. Make it optional to do for those of us that like that. I don’t always change those things exactly according to maintenance schedule so using your schedule really doesn’t help me very much. Having this capability would. Also, give option to set own increments instead of only being able to choose from a set list..Version: 2.44
✓ Gas Mileage Tracker needs improvementVery good app for tracking basic car maintenance history events. One feature that is problematic, however, is dealing with a missing fill-up when using the Gas Mileage Tracker. Although the Gas log allows the user to delete a previous entry, there is no way to compensate for a missed entry. This leads to an erroneously large spike in fuel economy as recorded in the Gas log and as displayed on the chart when the current fillup data is entered. The app should be updated to provide an option to “delete the current MPG calculation from the data set” because it’s invalid. Another idea is to test for invalid range and added fuel quantities based upon prior averages..Version: 2.53
✓ Shows HistoryI bought my vehicle used a few months ago. I got this app just so I could keep track of my maintenance and repairs. After I put my info in, I was surprised to see that my recent repair was already in there… as well as all the history the previous owner did. I loved being able to see that the car went in for regular maintenance. Definitely recommend if you have bought your vehicle used..Version: 3.18
✓ Email verification update broke appUPDATE A FEW DAYS LATER ON 5/9/23: Developers responded to my review to sign out and sign back in and that did in fact fix the issue. I had even deleted the app and reinstalled a few days ago and even that didn’t work. I changed my review from 2 stars back to 5 now that the app is fully functioning again. This app used to be a good way to keep track of your cars and to see the service history but the latest update that added email verification rendered the app unusable. When I try to view or update my vehicle service history it requires to verify email address. I’ve done this multiple times over the past 4 days since the app was updated and the verification doesn’t do anything. The email verification link opens up in the browser and says “thanks for confirming” but the app still says I need to verify my email..Version: 3.24
✓ Great App, wish I could export my data.This App is great and I use it to track the service and maintenance on all of my family vehicles, even the motorcycle. It is easy and convenient and much better than my old hand written pages in my garage. The notes field allows me to put things like filter numbers, oil type, tire sizes etc so when I shop for things I have a quick reference in my hand. The one feature I would love to have is the ability to export all the service data to a CSV file. This would allow for a backup reference of my service data for safe keeping and if I need to show it to my mechanic etc. I understand you aim to make money on your vehicle reports. However, this is my service tracking data that I am providing to you and your data base. I should at least have the ability to save it for myself and not have to pay for a report on my own vehicle. I’ve been using the App for years, but if this feature is not added, I may look to start using another vehicle service tracking App..Version: 3.29
✓ Great app, now the mileage tracker is backI really like this App and am glad they listened to their users and brought back the mileage tracker. The app keeps all of my service records at hand and provides me with useful information, the most being the mileage tracker. It has great reminders for regular maintenance, notifications for factory recalls, and a user friendly interface..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Makes car maintenance a breeze!Don’t review a ton of apps, when when an app legitimately improves my quality of life, I gotta do it. I’m terrible at remembering when I had my last oil change, when the inspection is due or even when the registration is due. Fahgettabout remembering when to rotate the tires! I would only think of checking a few times a year by checking various stickers on my or my wife’s car, and inevitably scramble to fix something a month or two out of date. If a garage didn’t have the stickers to shiw when an oil change is due, I wouldn’t go there. No garage would put a sticker for tire rotations, so they had no chance of being tracked. If I remembered to check one thing or another and was not near my car to see the stickers, I would forget it by the time I was near the car again. This app puts everything at your fingertips, and even alerts you when something is due, including manufacturer recalls!.Version: 3.10
✓ Like the new tire creature but coil be betterShould add Support of Winter Tire sets separate of the summer tire sets. Also wheel placement to track tire rotation..Version: 2.47
✓ Good but ChattyIt’s good, but it falls short and shouldn’t be relied upon entirely for your vehicle maintenance. The options err on the side of doing too much maintenance for your dollar. Spark plugs every 45K? Please, the reliability is so much better than it used to be. It also often misses aspects of the service, such as having my brakes inspected as part of a multi point inspection, leading to irrelevant recommendations. I really like the most useful feature of predicting when I’ll need my next oil change, but take the app with a grain of salt and use it as a general suggestion service rather than a guide..Version: 3.17.1
✓ No Cost trackingJust downloaded the app to track the maintenance on my car. Was pleasantly surprised with all the data already there. But I am disappointed there is no option to record the costs of all these services. There is an option to upload receipts, but that’s only for documentation. I wish there was a way to manually input the costs of services. For example, I just DIY oil and filter change and tire rotation. I would like to input the cost of the oil and filter, but there is no option for that. If there is an option for this added to the app, I will change my review to 5 star..Version: 3.17.1
✓ Good but needs more options to track maintenance scheduleWant to be able to modify default maintenance schedule. Also to set other reminder on dashboard based on that maintenance schedule. Developers - it's so close! Add these options and it'll be perfect.Version: 3.9
