A5 car maintenance log inserts for service, tires, fuel and costs

This A5 car maintenance log is a set of 20 undated insert pages for A5 ring binders, Half Letter binders and discbound planners, designed as two-page spreads. You receive an A5 PDF and a Half Letter PDF, plus print-and-cut versions for A4 and US Letter paper that fit two pages on each sheet. It downloads instantly, and nothing is shipped.

Keep the details in one tidy place and walk into the garage knowing exactly what was done last time.

How the A5 car maintenance log keeps you organized

Fill in the vehicle profile spread a single time: oil grade, filter part numbers, tire size, even where the second key lives. Copy the recommended intervals from your owner's manual, then record each oil change, repair, tire rotation and tank of fuel in lined tables with columns for the date, the mileage and what it cost.

A month by month cost table, renewal reminders for insurance, registration and inspection, and a roadside spread with what to do after an accident and who to call make the paperwork feel manageable as well. Nothing is dated, so print the oil, fuel and repair spreads again whenever they are full.

Who this car log is for

• Anyone using an A5 6-ring binder, a Half Letter binder or a junior discbound planner who wants car records alongside everything else
• New drivers and first-time owners figuring out what the car needs and when
• Households sharing one or two cars who want service dates and costs in a single spot
• Drivers who want a complete service history ready to show when they sell or trade in

Insert design and printing

• Elegant and minimal: white pages with soft blush pink details that go easy on ink
• Roomy margins, so nothing is trimmed by a home printer
• Two portrait page sizes, A5 at 148 by 210 mm and Half Letter at 5.5 by 8.5 inches, plus print-and-cut sheets for A4 and US Letter
• No dates, so begin whenever you like and reprint any log once it fills
• Margins that switch sides: a 14 mm binding margin on the left of odd pages and on the right of even pages, with 8 mm at the outer edge
• Rows and writing lines spaced 6.5 mm or more and text no smaller than 8.5 pt, so a small page stays easy to use
• The print-and-cut sheets carry a dashed line down the middle and small cut ticks, so a single cut gives you two pages
• Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it

Good to know

• These PDFs are made to be printed. They are not a hyperlinked digital planner, though most note taking apps will let you import the file and write on it.
• This is a digital product, so nothing physical is shipped.
• Printed colors can look a little different from your screen.
• Personal use only. Please do not share, resell or redistribute the files.
• Digital files cannot be returned. If a file does not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
• Ring spacing varies from brand to brand, so the pages carry no punch marks. Punch the wide inner margin with your own A5 6-hole, junior or disc punch.
• This log is for keeping your own records. It is not mechanical, legal or insurance advice, so always follow your owner's manual and your mechanic on service intervals and safety checks.
