On-Line Maintainence records
 
Just wondering how many of us use the on-line maintainence log on the Mazda Website?

http://www.mazdausa.com/

Click on "Owners" and you can enter your car and maintain a service/repair history.

I can understand that many people wouldn't want to list non-OEM mods on the Mazda site, but I was trying to get a feel for how many owners actually use the service.

I use that feature of Mazdausa.com

I use it as well. Just need to update it though.

I use it.

Only problem for me is, the majority of my entries are labeled under the "Other" category. I e-mailed them suggesting that they make the description field viewable on the maintenance history page so that I could actually make use of it in a complete list form. :)

I use it..good to have as a history of what you did to your car..granted, you have to remember to log-on and do it :p

I keep a small notebook in the car, and record service (and other interesting events) in that. I've been doing that for decades. Always nice to have a logbook right in the car.

I have a file folder at home where I keep all of the invoices, plus related stuff like the brochure, magazines with reviews, DIY's worth printing, etc.

I used to use it. Probably logged in 3 entries. After that, i was like forget it. I kind use excel spreadsheets to log in all maintaince items, plus i get to write more specific notes.....:)

I use it too. But I need to back track on previous owner records. I think I'll have the dealer print out a record to get exact date and place.

There's also room in the owner's manual for notes, but I like to keep a spotless owner's manual. I used to keep a notebook in the glove compartment, but the kid kept doodling in it when she was very young, to the point where I kind of let it die. When I got my 8, I wanted to revive the practice, then I found the on-line log.

I use it, but the dealer uses a different site for their notices and such. My spreadsheet's the main repository of info; I just copy basic stuff to the others occasionally.

Like many have mentioned, I use an Excel sheet.
That way I can have more detailed notes.
I also track my fuel mileage in this sheet

I have been using it. Has a few useful tools, lets you know if there are any recalls, and if you manual gets damaged/lost its has your years in pdf format.

It would be nice if the user could change the car color on the page. It's always red.

I use it regularly too, and I wish that they would do this as well. Some of the services and repairs that I have done on the car just don't fit into the general categories, and some of my services start with an oil change and end with a replaced starter motor. The details section is the interesting part.

I use it. Very handy.
