What are people using to track the service work you are doing on your cars. I am looking for a product that helps track everything, I want to stay away from apps.

Pen and paper? Spreadsheet? Not sure what you're looking to accomplish here.

I use Oil Change Brain, it took me along time to find something. You can grab them online for cheap.

Either use an app which would be easiest or the owners manual pages for service records. They are blank 80% of the time. LOL

Default 2013 XC70 strange noise

Hi,

I'm new and this may be the wrong thread.... While driving over surface streets
there is a noise like a "tennis ball in a can being shaken " almost like a bushing is missing between the shock and frame. Any thoughts on how I can describe this to service or what it may be would be appreciated.

On my other cars (Volvo to new) I use a flash card with services on the left side and the millage I wish to do said services, I then circle the millage which indicates that i have done it. I don't care about dates and times it's just about millage. The sits in the glove box and I glance at it every so often to keep on track.
