Parts Inventory

The Parts Inventory lets you track every part you own, want to buy, or have installed across all your cars. Navigate to Parts in the sidebar to open the inventory.

Tabs

Parts are organized by status across five tabs, plus a Groups tab for named collections:

Each tab shows a count of matching parts.

Part statuses

Every part has a status that determines which tab it appears under:

You can change a part's status at any time. Moving a part from Want to Buy to In Stock is done with the Mark Purchased action.

Adding parts

Click the Add Part button to create a new part entry. The form includes:

• Name -- What the part is (e.g., "Front brake pads")
• Manufacturer -- Brand name
• Part number -- OEM or aftermarket number
• Category -- Assign to a system or custom category
• Description and notes -- Free-text details
• URL -- Link to the product page (metadata is auto-fetched)
• Purchase price, date, and vendor
• Status -- Initial status (defaults to In Stock)

For quick capture from the garage, open Quick Add, choose a car, then select Add Part. Enter the part name, manufacturer, and part number to save a basic part entry tied to that car. Use the full Add Part form when you need category, URL, price, vendor, status, install details, or notes.

AI upload

Click the amber Upload button to extract part data from a photo or PDF (e.g., a receipt, invoice, or product label). The AI reads the document and pre-fills the add part form with name, manufacturer, part number, description, price, and vendor.

Add Product on the Detailing sub-tab

When you're on a car's Parts tab and switch to the Detailing sub-tab, the toolbar's primary action changes to Add Product. Clicking it opens a streamlined version of the add form:

• The title becomes Add Detailing Product
• Category is pre-set to Consumables & Detailing
• The new part is saved as a consumable (shared across your whole garage) rather than a durable part assigned to one car
• The install-on-car section is hidden -- detailing products are reusable inventory, not per-car installations

The Parts and Consumables sub-tabs keep the original Add Part / Add Item flow unchanged.

Categories

Parts are organized into categories for filtering. The system includes built-in categories, and you can create custom categories to match your workflow. Use the Category filter dropdown to narrow the inventory to a specific category.

Part types: durable vs. consumable

Every part is either a Durable part or a Consumable part. The type controls which fields and actions TrackOut shows for that part.

Consumables live under the built-in Consumables & Detailing category. Parts you create from a detailing service record or a consumables receipt are automatically saved as consumables.

On a car: the Parts & Consumables tab

On the Car Detail page, the Parts & Consumables tab is the per-car view of everything attached to or shared with that vehicle. It opens on a segmented sub-tab strip at the top:

Each sub-tab uses a data-focused table layout with columns appropriate to the row type -- mileage and install state for durable parts, usage count and last-used date for consumables, and application areas for detailing products. Click any row to open the part details, or use the Add button on the right (label changes per sub-tab: "Add part", "Add item", "Add product") to create a new entry directly in that section.

The iOS app also includes the car-scoped Parts & Consumables view, including usage metadata and actions for adding related punch-list tasks.

Installing and uninstalling

Install a part

From a part in In Stock status, use the Install on Car action. You will be asked to:

1. Select which car to install it on
2. Optionally record the mileage at installation
3. Optionally add notes

The part status changes to Installed and the installation is logged in the part's history.

Batch install

Select multiple in-stock parts and click Install on Car to install them all on the same car at once.

Uninstall a part

From an installed part, use the Uninstall action. The part moves back to In Stock and the removal is logged with an optional mileage reading. The part tracks total mileage accrued across all installations.

Install history

Each part maintains a full installation history. Click View History on any part to see:

• Every car the part has been installed on
• Installation and removal dates
• Mileage at install and removal
• Mileage accrued during each installation
• Notes from each install/uninstall

Product links

When you add a URL to a part, TrackOut automatically fetches the page title, domain, and preview image. This gives you a visual link card in the inventory.

Use Refresh Link to re-fetch the metadata if the product page has changed.

Filtering and sorting

Search

Type in the search box to filter by part name, manufacturer, part number, or car nickname.

Filters

• Car -- Show parts for a specific car
• Category -- Show parts in a specific category

Sorting

Use the sort dropdown to order parts by name, category, car, price, date added, or status. Click column headers on desktop to sort and reverse direction.

Batch operations

Select multiple parts using the checkboxes, or click Select all to select every visible part. Available batch actions depend on the selected parts:

CSV export

Click the Export button to download the current filtered view as a CSV file. The export includes all visible columns: name, manufacturer, part number, category, car, status, price, vendor, and mileage data.

Desktop vs. mobile

• Desktop -- Sortable table with columns for name, category, car, status, price, mileage, and actions
• Mobile -- Card-based layout with the same information in a compact, swipeable format

Both views support selection, batch operations, and all part actions.

Part groups

Groups are named collections that hold parts and service records together. Think of them as a build sheet, a maintenance bundle, or a shareable wishlist. Open the Groups tab on the Parts page to see your groups.

Creating a group

Click New Group, give it a name (e.g. "Suspension refresh", "Summer track day build"), and optionally a description. The group is empty until you add items to it.

Adding parts and services

Open a group and use the Add part or Add service buttons.

• Add part -- Pick any parts you own from a multi-select list. Selected parts are added all at once.
• Add service -- Pick a service record. Any parts already linked to that service are automatically added to the group too -- you don't have to add them twice.

Removing items

Use the checkbox on each row to select one or more items, then click Remove from group. This only removes them from the group; the underlying parts and services stay in your inventory untouched.

Renaming and deleting groups

Open a group and use the More menu (••• icon) to Rename the group or Delete it. Deleting a group removes the collection itself -- the parts and services inside it remain in your inventory.

Sharing

Any group, individual part, or service record can be shared via a public read-only link. See Sharing for the full workflow.
