Wrong parts, repeated purchases
Buying the wrong part again because the last repair details were buried in memory, photos, or a note somewhere else.
Why Garage131 exists
Garage131 started with a simple frustration: too many machines, too many receipts, too many half-remembered service details, and too many spreadsheets pretending to be a system.
The original problem
Buying the wrong part again because the last repair details were buried in memory, photos, or a note somewhere else.
Trying to remember whether the truck, the boat, or the mower got the battery, the tires, or the last big repair.
Spreadsheets can hold data, but they do not naturally hold the receipts, reminders, photos, and maintenance context around it.
What Garage131 does today
Garage131 is built to centralize service history, parts, receipts, reminders, and equipment context in a way that feels practical for day-to-day use.
01
Keep service records, notes, photos, and supporting details attached to the machine that actually needs them.
02
Garage131 is meant to handle the messy real-world mix: vehicles, equipment, tools, and the assets generic software often ignores.
03
What starts as better personal record-keeping can expand into team use, shared reservations, shopping lists, and full VRS operations as your needs get heavier.
What makes it different
Track a truck, a generator, a mower, and a dirt bike without pretending they belong in separate systems.
Built around the way people actually remember work: what was done, what it cost, what part was used, and what comes next.
Organizations on higher-tier plans can set machines as reservable, manage badged or full user access, and run check-out, check-in, and service request workflows — all connected to the maintenance record.
What is already built
The Vehicle Reservation System is live for organizations on higher-tier plans. Shopping lists let you track what each machine needs before it turns into an emergency parts run. More tooling for larger organizations is on the way.
The goal
If that sounds like the problem you have, start free. If your needs are heavier, there is a path for that too.
