Evercar is a tool dedicated to helping you maintain and enjoy your cars.
Today, Evercar enables you to make better plans (from carefully crafted templates) and reminds you of what you've got to do to your cars next.
You can keep a log of things you've done, and to observe symptoms that you'd like to fix, building a rich history along the way.
You can also keep to-do lists for each car, and shopping lists for all cars so that you you do fewer part orders.
Spreadsheets work well, to a point. But the reality of working on cars is that the phone always to hand, while the computer is not - and spreadsheets are not well suited to phones.
For me, I knew I'd outgrown spreadsheets when I had notes strewn across various apps and pieces of paper, which never made it into the spreadsheet; information I though is now redundant proved to be something I'd like to have later on and when I realised I wasn't tracking symptoms well at all.
And, of course, with Evercar, you can collaborate with others. For example, your mechanic can feed the work they've done straight into Evercar
For starters, when the time comes to sell, Evercar is the most comprehensive history you could ever hope to show to a customer. Complete with the ability to search, it can help to tell a story much better than a stack of invoices ever could.
When the car is sold, simply transfer the history to the new owner. You can choose to permanently censor personal details, while still giving them the history of the car they now own.
In the long-run, Evercar will mean your car breaks down less, and retains its value more. But in the short-term, you will do fewer part orders, and be more efficient with anything you do to your car. Have you ever left the workshop realising you forgot to ask for something small to be done? Have you ever had the sinking feeling of a car breaking down and knowing exactly what's broken, angry at the fact that you've been meaning to change it for over a year.
My name is Alex Velkov. Since getting my licence I've run Toyotas, Nissans, Alfas, Porsches and BMWs - sooo many BMWs. I've driven them close and far, slow and fast, through snow, mud, rain and sunshine. I've raced them, broken them and fixed them again. Over 20 years of maintaining cars has made me really clear on what I need - and since I couldn't find it, I built it.
My day-job involves building, maintaining and running enterprise grade software. I aim to bring the same rigour to Evercar, ensuring it truly becomes the history archive for great cars.
Today, I am developing Evercar alone. My priority so far has been to establish the basic functions and to make sure the application is secure and stable. If Evercar proves as useful to others as it is to me, and it starts to pay some bills, I will invest siginificantly more resources to making it look great and be more useful. Stick around and this thing will improve faster than an Adenauer through Aremberg.
