Better service reminders

Thomas 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 0

Service reminders could be improved in Fuelio.

However, they're the strong point of Simply auto. I suggest you take a look at how they work.

Here it is:

The first time we add a service entry (e.g. oil change at 86 235 km on 2020/04/10), we create the "oil change" service task if doesn't exist and set it as recurrent.

Then we can set the mileage and/or days/months/years before the next reminder (e.g. 15 000 km and 1 year for oil change).

After the first of these is reached, we get a reminder. To reset that reminder, we add a new service entry with the already created "oil change" service task.

Since we enter the date and total mileage, the app can reset automatically the reminder and check when to set the next one.

When we add a service entry, we can select multiple service tasks at once (e.g. oil change, spark plugs, air filter...) by checking checkboxes in front of each one).

No need to add one service entry for each service task we made that day on the car.

Here's what the service task selection screen looks like:

Service tasks

[x] Oil change (last time: 2019/04/01)

[x] Spark plugs (last time: never)

[x] Air filter (last time: 2017/05/09)

[ ] Coolant change (last time: never)

Implementing the service reminders that way would make Fuelio bulletproof and very user friendly in that regard.
