Your Garage
Garage Management
The Garage is your home base in TrackOut. It displays all your cars and gives you quick access to service records, track days, tires, setup, and parts for each vehicle. The Garage is the first thing you see after signing in.
Adding a car
Click the Add Car button to open the vehicle form. Required fields are Year, Make, and Model -- all other fields are optional during creation.
Vehicle fields
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | No | 17-character Vehicle Identification Number -- decode to prefill year, make, model, and trim |
| Year | Yes | Model year (1955 -- present) |
| Make | Yes | Manufacturer, with autocomplete suggestions |
| Model | Yes | Model name, filtered by selected make |
| Trim | No | Trim level like "Competition" or "GT3" -- helpful when you run multiple variants of the same model |
| Nickname | No | A short name like "Track Beast" or "Daily" -- defaults to Make + Model if left blank |
| Mileage | No | Current odometer reading -- can be updated later |
| Color | No | Color name with a visual hex picker for display |
| Photo | No | Upload and crop a car photo (supports zoom and aspect ratio selection) |
Car limits by plan
The number of cars you can add depends on your subscription tier: Arrive & Drive (free) allows 2 cars, Club allows 5, Pro allows 10, and Factory allows 50.
Decoding a VIN
If you have your car's VIN handy, you can skip typing the year, make, model, and trim. Paste the 17-character VIN into the VIN field at the top of the form and click Decode (or press Enter). TrackOut looks the VIN up in the public NHTSA vPIC vehicle database and prefills the Year, Make, Model, and Trim fields for you. If the Nickname field is empty, a suggested nickname (like "2022 Porsche Cayman") is filled in too. NHTSA doesn't return a trim value for every VIN -- older or less-common vehicles may leave it blank, in which case you can type it in yourself.
A green "Decoded" confirmation appears below the VIN field when the lookup succeeds. Editing the VIN afterward clears the confirmation so you always know whether the current VIN has been validated. The VIN is optional -- you can always enter year, make, model, and trim by hand instead -- and it is saved on the car so you can refer back to it later.
Upload a window sticker
If you have the Monroney window sticker handy, use the Upload window sticker panel near the top of the Add Car form to pre-fill the form automatically. Accepted formats are JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, HEIF, and PDF up to 20 MB.
TrackOut extracts the following fields when present on the sticker: VIN, year, make, model, trim, exterior color, interior color, engine, transmission, MSRP, and optional equipment packages. When a 17-character VIN is extracted, TrackOut also runs it through the NHTSA vPIC database as a fallback to fill in any fields the sticker couldn't read.
A confirmation appears below the upload panel once extraction succeeds: Details extracted -- review before saving, or Details extracted + VIN verified -- review before saving when the VIN fallback fused additional data. The upload is non-destructive -- any field you have already typed into is left alone, so you can safely use the sticker to fill in the fields you haven't edited yet.
OCR allowance
Window sticker extraction shares your monthly OCR allowance with receipt scanning, so each sticker upload counts against the same quota.
Photo upload
When adding or editing a car, you can upload a photo. The built-in cropper lets you:
- Zoom in or out with a slider
- Choose an aspect ratio -- Original, 4:3, 16:9, or 1:1
- Re-crop an existing photo without re-uploading
In edit mode, photo changes are saved immediately. In create mode, the photo is uploaded after the car is created.
Navigating your garage
Desktop
Your cars are listed in the sidebar on the left. Click a car to select it and view its dashboard. The selected car is highlighted with a checkmark.
Mobile
On smaller screens, a car switcher appears at the top of the page. Tap it to open a dropdown with all your cars. You can also add a new car from this menu.
Car dashboard
After selecting a car, you see the vehicle header with the car photo, name, year/make/model, current mileage, Edit details, and Share car actions. Below that are four tabs:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Logbook | The full Maintenance Records Logbook -- a sortable table of every service record on the car, with search, a multi-select Type filter, color-coded service dots, per-row actions for Edit / Repeat / Merge / Delete, plus toolbar buttons for receipt scanning, logging service, and the Smart Import / CSV Import / Export CSV menu |
| Setup | Build sheet, plus brake pads, alignment, and suspension configuration, and current tire status |
| Parts & Consumables | Parts inventory for this car, organized into All / Parts / Consumables / Detailing sub-tabs with data-focused tables |
| Documents | Files attached to the car, including window sticker and other uploads |
The active tab is underlined with the car's color for a visual connection.
Next Service banner
A persistent Next service banner sits directly above the tabs on every car -- visible whether you're on the Logbook, Setup, Parts & Consumables, Profile, or Documents tab. It shows:
- The next due service reminder with its description.
- The trigger summary -- a date, a mileage threshold, or both (for example, "Mar 1, 2026 or 55,000 mi").
- A live miles-remaining readout when the reminder has a mileage target, color-coded green when there's room and red once you're past due.
- A Mark complete action that opens the completion dialog for the reminder.
- A Maintenance schedule link that opens the full maintenance plan sheet for the car.
When nothing is due, the banner shows "All caught up -- no services due." with the Maintenance schedule link still available.
On iOS, the car Home view also shows scheduled service and urgent punch-list previews so the next maintenance item is visible without opening the full Logbook.
The Edit details drawer
The Edit details button in the car header opens a right-side drawer with the full car editor -- photo, identity, insurance policies, track-day insurance partner links, build-sheet customization, and public profile settings. The Share car button opens the public profile share dialog, where you can preview the page, copy the link, and choose a profile style. See Sharing.
Editing a car
Click Edit details in the car header to open the right-side drawer and edit the car photo, nickname, mileage, specifications, insurance, build-sheet rows, and public profile settings. See The Edit details drawer for the full list of what you can change from this surface.
Deleting a car
The "..." overflow menu in the car header holds a Delete Car action. Clicking it opens a confirmation dialog -- you'll see the car's nickname (or year/make/model) and a summary of what gets removed. Confirming archives the car (soft delete) and returns you to the garage; the car is hidden from your garage but the underlying data is retained.
Soft delete vs. permanent delete
Delete Car from the three-dot menu is a soft delete -- the car is hidden from your garage but the underlying data is retained, so contact support if you need to recover a car you deleted by mistake. To permanently remove a car and every associated record (track sessions, laps, telemetry, brake-pad notes, tire events, service records, todo items, research, and AI advisor history), use the Danger Zone at the bottom of the car detail page. See Permanently deleting a car below.
MotorsportReg integration
If you have connected your MotorsportReg account in Settings, TrackOut can discover vehicles from your MSR profile. When unlinked MSR vehicles are found, a discovery panel appears at the top of the garage.
From the discovery panel you can:
- Link an MSR vehicle to an existing car in your garage
- Create a new car pre-filled with MSR vehicle data (year, make, model, and photo)
When adding a new car, a dropdown lets you optionally link it to an unlinked MSR vehicle. If MotorsportReg provides a vehicle photo, TrackOut carries that photo into the new car so it appears in your garage immediately. In edit mode, you can see which MSR vehicle is linked and unlink it if needed.
Quick Add
Use the Quick Add command palette from the garage to add common items without opening the full feature page first. If you have more than one car, choose the car first, then pick what to add:
| Mode | What you can save |
|---|---|
| Log Service | Service type, optional description, mileage, date, and an optional receipt for processing |
| Add Tire | Brand, model, and storage or mounted location |
| Add Part | Part name, manufacturer, and part number |
Quick Add is designed for fast capture. Use the full service record, tire inventory, or parts inventory forms when you need every available field.
Permanently deleting a car
The Danger Zone at the bottom of the car detail page lets you permanently remove a car along with everything attached to it -- track sessions and lap data, telemetry, brake-pad and tire history, service records, parts links, todo items, research sessions, and Crew Chief AI advisor messages for that car. Once confirmed, the deletion cannot be reversed.
To start the deletion, click Delete car forever. A confirmation dialog opens that requires you to type delete forever (lowercase, exact match) before the destructive button enables. After you confirm, TrackOut drains the associated records in batches behind the scenes, then redirects you back to your garage.
This is irreversible
There is no undo and no support recovery for a permanently deleted car. If you only want the car off your garage list, use Delete Car from the three-dot menu instead -- that is a soft delete and your data stays intact.
Beta feature
The Danger Zone is currently rolling out to a subset of users. If you don't see it on your car detail page, soft delete is your only deletion option for now.
Logbook tab
The Logbook tab is the landing page for each car -- a full-width sortable table of every service record on the car. It highlights:
- Search -- Match records, parts, and vendors as you type
- Type filter -- Multi-select dropdown with per-type counts and a Clear filter action
- Sortable columns -- Date, Mileage, Service, Vendor, and Cost; default is most recent first
- Row actions -- A three-dot menu on every row for Edit, Repeat, Merge, and Delete
- Toolbar actions -- Receipt scanning, Log service, and a more menu with Smart Import, CSV Import, and Export CSV
For the next due service, look at the Next Service banner above the tabs -- it stays visible whichever tab you're on.
Upcoming events bar
At the top of the garage, an Upcoming Events bar shows your next scheduled event. Click the bar to view event details, or use the Add Event button to create a new one. See Events & Calendar for more details.
