Service reminder: meaning and examples
A service reminder is a notification that something is coming due, such as a service, an inspection, registration or an insurance renewal.
How it works
A service reminder tells you something is coming due. It might be a service, an inspection, a registration renewal or an insurance payment.
The best reminders match how the item is measured. A renewal is a date. A service might be a distance or hours, which you convert into a likely date from how much you drive or run the machine.
Turning an interval into a date
Illustration: Toyota's 2023 US Corolla guide asks for an oil and filter change every 10,000 miles or 12 months. If you drive about 1,000 miles a month, 10,000 miles takes ten months, so a repeating reminder every ten months fits. If you drive less, use the 12 months.
For machines, the same sum works with hours: at 10 hours a week, 100 hours takes about ten weeks.
How to track it in Loggy
Loggy reminders go off on a date you choose and can repeat. They are set by date, so they do not trigger from an odometer or engine-hour reading. Pick the date from how much you usually drive or run the machine.
- Open the menu and tap Reminders, then the red plus.
- Choose the vehicle, add a title and notes, then pick the date and how often it repeats.
- Tap Save. Loggy notifies you on that date.
Loggy is a free maintenance logbook app for iOS and Android. The free plan has unlimited vehicles, reminders, PDF export and vehicle transfer, and no ads.
