Vehicle maintenance, made exact

Know what to service, when to service it, and why it matters.

We are building a maintenance intelligence platform for `2000-2026` vehicles using official manuals, government data, and an interval-first foundation that future services can trust.

Volkswagen

Only scrape what can defend itself.

The maintenance interval database should prefer sources that are official, government-backed, or clearly attributable. Dealer blogs and forum posts can help later, but they should not define the truth layer.

Toyota

Toyota Owner's Manuals and Warranty & Maintenance Guides

Use maintenance guide PDFs and owner manuals as the authoritative maintenance interval source.

Ford

Ford Owner Support and Scheduled Maintenance Guide PDFs

Primary source for normal and special operating schedules; scrape by make, model, and year.

Honda

Honda Owners Manuals and Maintenance Minder references

Use manuals plus Maintenance Minder guidance where schedules are usage-based instead of static mileage tables.

General Motors

GM Owner Center Manuals and Maintenance Schedules

GM manuals and warranty booklets include brand-specific scheduled service requirements.

Nissan

Nissan USA Owner Manuals

Owner manuals and supplemental maintenance guides are the source of inspection and replacement intervals.

Subaru

Subaru Warranty and Maintenance Booklets

Warranty and maintenance booklets are easier to normalize than full owner manuals for Subaru.

Maintenance scope

Track the parts and fluids that actually extend vehicle life.

The product should revolve around maintainable items, not generic specs. Every record should answer the same question: what should be inspected or replaced, at what interval, and under which driving conditions?

Fluids

Track replacement and inspection intervals for the fluids that directly affect engine, brake, cooling, and drivetrain life.

Fluid neglect is one of the fastest ways to shorten component life, especially on engines, transmissions, and AWD systems.

Engine oil and filter
Transmission fluid
Brake fluid
Coolant
Power steering fluid
Transfer case and differential fluid

Filters and ignition

Surface the wearable items that quietly reduce performance and efficiency long before a failure happens.

These items often look minor, but they affect fuel economy, drivability, emissions, and long-term engine health.

Engine air filter
Cabin air filter
Fuel filter
Spark plugs
PCV valve

Drivetrain and transmission

Separate lifetime-marketing language from practical service intervals for transmissions and driveline components.

Transmission and driveline repairs are expensive enough that even conservative service guidance can save owners thousands.

Automatic transmission service
CVT fluid service
Manual transmission fluid
Rear differential service
Transfer case service

Chassis and wear items

Keep recurring wear items visible so owners can prevent secondary damage and preserve safety.

Wear items compound. A small neglected part often creates a larger repair when its condition is not tracked over time.

Brake pads and rotors
Tires and alignment
Serpentine belts
Wiper blades
Battery
Suspension inspections

API-first foundation

An interval API before a massive crawl.

Keep the public shape simple: vehicles, service items, interval rules, operating conditions, and citations.

Authoritative source ingestion

Pull interval truth from OEM manuals, warranty booklets, and government APIs before trusting community or dealer content.

VIN-first normalization

Decode VINs to resolve platform, engine, drivetrain, and trim so interval guidance maps to the exact vehicle a user owns.

Interval-first product shape

Center the system on service items, mileage/month thresholds, severe-use conditions, and citations that other tools can reuse.

Human-friendly maintenance UX

Make the system understandable for non-mechanics with simple service intervals, severe-use warnings, and clearly sourced recommendations.

Contract shape

Every interval record should be crawler-ready and citation-safe.

The contract is now concrete enough for scrapers to target directly: a service item, an action, a vehicle fitment, a condition, and a citation. That keeps future ingestion and future products pointed at the same truth format.

First seed set

Start with the highest-demand nameplates.

The first release should concentrate on popular vehicles so interval extraction, QA, and API contracts harden on cars people actually own.

Build sequence

Move from trustworthy PDFs to a dependable experience.

1. Crawl official interval sources

Start with owner manuals, maintenance booklets, and OEM support portals. Use a per-brand extractor that can turn PDFs and pages into interval records with citations.

2. Normalize by service item

Map every interval to a service item, make, model, year, engine, drivetrain, and severe-use condition. VIN decoding becomes the matching layer for real users.

3. Publish through a clean API

Expose a simple contract for fluids, wear items, transmission service, conditions, and citations so future services can build on top without scraping again.
