Medium-Tech:
If you have a moderate amount of computer skills, you can keep information on your vehicles in one of two ways:
Scanning Keeping the original of vehicle titles is very important. Keeping a scanned version on hand is great for back up purposes. I would recommend putting the originals in a safe deposit box or fireproof container. It is possible to obtain a lost title, but it requires extra time, work and money.
Many records can simply be scanned and kept in PDF format on your computer. You can create a folder for “Autos” and sub-folders for each vehicle and store the information there. You can even subdivide it by year (if you want to go that complex). Neat Receipts scanners from Neatco not only scans your receipts and keeps them neat, but their organizing software offers advantages to store and search not only auto records, but other paperwork as well.
Spreadsheets Some auto information can simply be kept on a spreadsheet. This can help you at tax time because all the information you need is in one easy location. While you can’t keep your car title on a spreadsheet, you can keep track of oil changes, fuel records, mileage, etc.
