Nothing like using an Old School tool to maintain Modern Muscle

Talk about thorough. What do you do for a living?

 

Cool, I never have seen that!
I just keep a Spreadsheet to keep track of All Maintenance & even every tank of gas for MPG since I got her.

 

LOL!

Sometimes annoyingly thorough ... even to myself.

I'm wrapping up a nice career in advertising and sports sponsorship .... though I'm currently looking for a gig. I was in the process of launching my own business earlier this year when the Covid lockdown reared its head. Yeah. There's that.

 

Well ... Mopar doesn't make it easy to find.

IF you have registered your vehicle on Mopar.com (or through Dodge.com/owners) then you go to the Menu stack on the far right. Really is a pretty good site.

Then under the My Vehicle section there's a link for Maintenance Records. That will take you to a page where you should see dealer work that has been performed and you can Add A Record. Though, today, my previous records and my dealer warranty repairs aren't showing.

 

Mine are in there...but then again, I let the dealer do it all for now.......

Yeah, may be cheaper if I do it, but it's once a year....not that much money really.

 

LOL! You sound a lot like me when I was younger! Luckily, nowadays I don't need to be so anal. Makes my life WAY easier! Either way, I feel your pain brother, and appreciate your attention to detail! I used to have log books (one per vehicle) on not only my cars but all my family's cars as well as the In-Laws cars! I performed (and tracked) ALL the maintenance and repairs on approximately a dozen vehicles for decades! Luckily, nowadays I only take care of three vehicles!

 

I kind of envy people that can truly treat their car as just transportation. I won't even tell you how much time I've spent down the YouTube rabbit hole watching other people detail cars.

My hat's off to you. You were logging WAY more cars than I do. I'd have had to retire a long time ago to keep up with a dozen. I just handle basic maintenance on my '15 Challenger SRT 392, our '17 Durango R/T, and recently what was my mom's '05 Monte Carlo LS -- now has a whopping 38K miles since I started using it as my shopping lot car. But they all share the same trusty clipboard and legal pad plus getting logged online.

Oh ... and our daughter brings her '12 Ford Edge SEL home for oil changes. It's definitely the easiest to service. Lots of clearance and drain plug and oil filter are easy to access. Not too messy at all. Certainly not nearly as messy as the Durango.

 

When I was taking care of the family cars, I was the fleet manager of a huge limo company in Princeton, NJ. So I had a large service facility at my disposal. I'd just swap cars with family members and either do the work myself or rotate them to local dealerships when needed. Later, I had my own shop and continued the same process. Did that for years but it got to a point where I simply didn't have time for it and quite frankly all the car swapping was annoying. Nowadays, I'm more than content to let someone else do my repair and maintenance work. It's not like I don't love my chiropractor but I'm supporting enough people as it is. He doesn’t need another motorcycle!

 

I've posted this before but the Mopar Maintenance Records that Wizard of Iz described is also available as a phone app called "My Mopar". You can enter your exact VIN number so it'll track all dealer service work and you can enter any other work done by others. It's listed by mileage. THe app also gives you recall info (for your exact car), your warranty info, vehicle equipment list (for your car), maintenance schedule, owners manual, etc. I have four Mopars logged in, makes it real convenient to check on stuff.

 

HUMPH...not available in Canada!!!
