Car Trak description
An automitive application that tracks different aspects of a vehicles features
Car Trak is a Windows software that tracks automotive vehicle mileage, maintenance, expenses, and fuel economy.
Car Trak provides the "average" person with an easy to use interface and presents a full analysis of Fuel, Maintenance, Repairs, and Other expenses in a concise "summary" fashion, while keeping the full "detail" entries always available for examination or edits (if necessary).
Here are some key features of "Car Trak":
· Version 3 includes the option to use U.S. (miles, gallons, MPG) ·OR· Metric (kilometers, liters, L/100km) ·OR· U.K. (miles, liters, miles per liter) measurements.
· You can enter as much or as little as you want in order to track the "categories" that interest you. (For example, if you're only interested in tracking your fuel economy and expenses you can ignore the other categories and their corresponding functions.)
· Any data displayed in the various 'data grids' can be exported to a CSV (comma separated values) text file for later import into a spreadsheet or other CSV-enabled application. (Reports can also be exported... see below.)
· You can easily switch between vehicles in the Car Trak system using a convenient drop-down listing.
· The program's Summary tab folder will furnish you with a "snapshot" of your current expenses to date, along with key calculated and "comparative" fields which help you determine if
your vehicle is developing a problem or needs service.
· Scheduled Maintenance and Inspections, as well as user-defined Inspection Groups, can be set up for each vehicle in the system. Once set up the next due and last performed information will be automatically maintained by the program, allowing you to print a Scheduled Maintenance Due report (or a Work Order for your mechanic) whenever you wish. *Scheduled maintenance can be set up and tracked using any combination of dates, odometer, and/or engine hours.
· The Fuel Log tab folder not only displays your individual data entry "detail" but also calculates the distance driven since the previous Fuel entry, cost per gallon/liter, and miles per gallon (or L/100km or MPL) for each item entered. Additionally, a line graph plotting the MPGs (or L/100kms or MPLs) for the last 10 fillups is displayed.
· The Maintenance/Inspection entries are simplified by letting you add the respective service items performed from a listing of the vehicle's "scheduled" items. (You can manually add a "non-scheduled" item if necessary.)
· The Repairs/Other tab rounds out the "categories," allowing entry of non-scheduled services/repairs and miscellaneous items.
· Reports include Scheduled Maintenance Due (as a report or 'work order), Scheduled Maintenance List, Fuel Log/Expense, Fuel Log Summary, Fuel Log Summary by Fuel Type, Fuel Log Summary by Month/Year, Service Log/Expense, Service Log Summary by Month/Year, Total Expense Summary, Total Expense Summary by Month/Year, Vehicle Listing, and Vehicle Statistics & Summary.
· Full print preview with three report styles, user-selectable fonts, and user-selectable paper sizes. ALL reports can be output to the printer or exported to RTF or HTML files.
· A Custom Record Filter allows you to design your own 'search criteria' to view (and optionally print) only the data you want to see.
· To help you review the various features/functions of the program a Sample Vehicle File is included.
· Context-sensitive Help, as well as pop-up What's This? help, is always available.
