1Garage

Service history, reminders & value — for every machine you own.

Everything you can do in 1Garage

1Garage is the logbook for your vehicles and equipment — what oil it takes, when service is due, your fuel and mileage, the title and receipts, and what it's worth. This guide walks through every feature and exactly how to use it.

💡 The one shortcut to remember: press and hold any machine (or its photo) for quick actions — log a fill-up, log service, move it, or edit it — without opening menus.

🚀 Getting started

Use it with or without an account

Everything — your machines, history, specs and reminders — works on your device with no account. Signing in is optional and only adds syncing across your devices and sharing a garage with family.

Sign in to sync

Tap Sign in (bottom bar) and continue with Apple or Google. Your garage then syncs to every device you sign in on.

Install it like an app

Get it from the App Store or Google Play, or add the website to your home screen. It runs offline and opens full-screen.

🚗 Adding & organizing machines

Add a machine

Tap Add in the bottom bar, choose the type (car, truck, motorcycle, ATV, trailer, mower, tractor, boat, generator, equipment…), then enter the make/model — or scan/type a VIN to auto-fill year, make, model and engine. 1Garage fills in oil and specs where it can.

Add a photo

On the machine page tap Add photo, or pick a factory color for a studio render on supported vehicles. Tap the photo to view it full-screen.

Edit or delete

Open the machine and tap the ✏️ edit button to change details, the powertrain (gas / diesel / hybrid / electric) or units, or to delete it.

Organize into garages

Group machines into garages (Home, Work, The Barn…) from the Garages tab. Move a machine with the 🚪 button on its page or its press-and-hold menu.

Reorder your list

In a garage, use Reorder (or press and hold) to drag machines into the order you want — it sticks and syncs across devices.

🔧 Logging service & fuel

Log an oil change

On the machine, tap I changed the oil on the Oil card. It stamps the date and mileage and resets the next-due reminder. Tap Undo if it was a mistake.

Log any other service

Tap Log service (or press and hold the machine → Log service). Add a title, tags, notes, parts, cost and the odometer reading.

Log a fill-up or EV charge

Press and hold the machine (or its photo) → Log a fill-up (or Log a charge for EVs). Enter the odometer, gallons and cost. 1Garage figures your MPG, cost-per-mile and efficiency automatically — and shows your MPG right after you save.

Update the odometer

Tap the odometer/hour-meter reading at the top of the machine to set the current number — it drives mileage-based reminders.

📋 Specs & quick reference

The oil card

Drain-plug wrench size, oil grade, capacity and filter — tap any box to set it. 1Garage pre-fills these from public data, owner contributions and AI, so verify and tweak as needed.

Quick reference

Tap Add on the Quick reference card for specs like spark plug gap, antifreeze, hydraulic fluid, tire size or torque — or tap ✨ Look these up to fill them automatically. Drag rows to reorder.

A quick note on auto-filled specs

Pre-filled specs are a helpful starting point, not the final word — always confirm against your owner's manual or a professional before buying parts or doing service.

🔔 Reminders, renewals & recalls

Oil & service reminders

Set a reminder by months and/or miles (or hours) when editing a machine. 1Garage warns you before it's due — and counts live miles if a connected car is linked.

Renewals & expiry

In the Renewals card, add dates for registration, inspection/emissions, insurance and warranty (plus the license-plate number). You'll get a heads-up before each one lapses.

Safety recalls

Open recalls for your vehicles surface automatically in the Safety recalls card — no lookups needed.

🛞 Tires, battery, parts & trips

Tires

In the Tires card record size, cold pressure (front/rear), install mileage, tread life and brand, and snap the receipt for the road-hazard warranty. Your tire pressure also shows at a glance in Quick reference.

Battery

Track the model/part number, install date and warranty length, and keep the receipt — so you know if a dead battery is still covered.

Parts to buy & trips

Keep a running parts shopping list per machine, and log trips for mileage or business records.

📁 Documents

Keep every document in folders

Open the Documents card to see folders — Title, Insurance, Registration, Receipt, Manual, Other — each with its count. Tap a folder to see just those documents.

Add a document

Inside a folder tap Add and choose Take a photo, Choose from gallery, or Browse files (images or PDF). It's saved into that folder.

View, zoom & save

Tap a document to open it full-screen — pinch or use +/− to zoom, drag to pan, and tap Save to download the original.

💰 Value & selling

See what it's worth

Vehicles show a live estimated market value. Pick the condition (Excellent / Good / Fair / Rough) for a closer number.

Share or sell

Use the 🔗 share button to turn on a public, read-only page (with a QR code) a buyer or mechanic can open without an account — plus a printable sell sheet and windshield sticker that pull from your service history.

👨‍👩‍👧 Sharing a garage

Invite family

From the Garages tab, open a garage's menu and invite someone by their Apple or Google email. Choose Viewer (read-only) or Co-owner (can log & edit). They sign in with that email and accept.

⚙️ Sync, backup & settings

Sync across devices

Sign in with the same Apple or Google account on each device and your garage stays in sync.

Back up everything

From Account → Back up everything, export a full copy of your data any time.

Make it yours

Pick an accent theme (or match your device's light/dark setting), and set units (miles / kilometers / hours) and powertrain per machine.
