[PLUG] vehicle repair software

[Chad Vogelsong <csv@gamebox.net>]

PLUG,

I'm looking for some software to manage the maintenance of my car(s).  
I'm looking for something that can:

1. Manage multiple cars  (at least up to 5-10.  i don't run a shop or 
anything.)
2. Has some reporting features (what PM is due when?  vehicle service 
history?  cost of all services last year?  etc.)
3. Can input my own maint. operations (i.e. time to add gas additive) 
that aren't "normal" PM operations.
4. I would prefer OSS software, but as long as it runs on Linux or is 
web based, it's OK.

I've been using Car Companion  
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/car-companion ) for about 1.5 years 
now, and it does OK.  It's an OSS Java thick client app that works on 
OSX, Windows & Linux.  It's pretty good software and fills most of my 
needs/wants.  However, the last release was August 2005, so I think the 
guy has stopped development.

The only other one I could find was Vehicle Service Tracker 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/vst).  However, VST hardly has any of 
the features that Car Companion has.

Does anybody on this list use software to manage the repairs on their 
vehicles?  What do you use and why?

Thanks,
Chad
