Maintenance Reminders help you stay on top of your car’s most important services, so you never miss an oil change, filter replacement, or even insurance and license renewals. You can choose from a list of common services or create your own custom car-related reminders to have them all in one space.
How do Maintenance reminders work?
When you set a reminder, the OBDeleven app will send push notifications before the service is due: that’s 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day prior. You’ll also see status labels in your Garage, making it easy to spot what’s coming up:
All good – no pending services
Due soon – approaching tasks
Needs attention – overdue items
Who can use Maintenance reminders?
The feature is currently available for iOS users with version 17.0 and above, including CarPlay support for viewing set reminders.
Android support, including Android Auto, is in development.
How to create Maintenance reminders?
Open the OBDeleven app and tap Garage in the bottom menu. If your car is already connected, you can select Maintenance Reminders, then tap the blue + button to add a new reminder. If not, firstly select your vehicle and continue to Maintenance Reminders.
You can choose from preset tasks or create a custom reminder with your own description.
Date-based reminders
Toggle Remind by date to activate notifications
Enter the last service date
Reminders have pre-set ranges for upcoming services (e.g., 12 months), but you can choose to manually add the service period and next due date
Mileage-based reminders
Enter your current mileage and the mileage at the last service. This data can also be read from the last scan you ran on your car
Set the next service due after a specific distance
The app calculates how many kilometers remain until the next service
Note: reminder notifications are based on the date you set. Mileage status appears as a label in Garage.
OBDeleven 3 device will update the mileage automatically as long as you run a scan on your car once in a while.
Logging services
You can also log completed services to maintain a full car service history, including:
Service date
Mileage at time of service
Cost and service location
Parts used
Custom notes
When you log a service in the app, the reminder is automatically updated. The logged service date is set as the new last service date, and the app recalculates the next due date based on the service interval you originally selected.
The same applies to mileage reminders: once you record a service, the system restarts the mileage countdown using the mileage you entered.
This means you don’t have to manually reset your reminders every time – just log the service, and the app adjusts future reminders for you.
Managing reminders
Reminders appear on the main Maintenance Reminders screen with their status. To edit a reminder, open it, click on the data you want to edit, and make the changes. To delete a reminder, press “Delete” on the bottom of the screen.
Tips
Connect your OBDeleven 3 device to your car and run diagnostics occasionally to accurately track mileage
Keep in mind the labels in your Garage – they will give you a quick peek about upcoming services before receiving notifications or checking the reminder screen
Logging each service gives better insights into your car’s condition
