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.
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, and current mileage. Below that are six tabs:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Overview | Stats summary, quick-add for service records and track days, tire status, alignment/brake/suspension snapshots, and recent activity |
| Service | Full service history with inline editing and quick-add |
| Track Days | Track day sessions and lap times |
| Tires | Tire inventory with mounted/unmounted status |
| Setup | Brake pads, alignment, and suspension configuration |
| Parts | Parts inventory for this car |
The active tab is underlined with the car's color for a visual connection.
Editing a car
Open the three-dot menu (top right of the car header) and select Edit Vehicle. The same form modal opens, but all fields are now required -- including nickname and mileage. Changes are saved when you click Save Changes.
From this menu you can also:
- Import Service Records -- bulk import from CSV
- Delete Vehicle -- permanently remove the car and all associated data
Deleting a car
Deleting a car is a soft delete -- the car is hidden from your garage but the data is retained. This cannot be undone from the UI.
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. In edit mode, you can see which MSR vehicle is linked and unlink it if needed.
Overview tab
The Overview tab gives you a snapshot of your car's status without switching between tabs:
- Stats row -- Total service records, track days logged, and current mileage
- Quick add -- Log a service record or track day directly from the overview
- Tire status -- Shows which tires are currently mounted with tread depth and heat cycles
- Setup snapshot -- Current alignment, brake pads, and suspension at a glance
- Recent activity -- A timeline of the latest service records and track days
Each section links to its full tab for deeper detail.
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.
