#Quick Updates (Readings + Expenses)

Quick Updates are fast entry forms that let you log real-world events without digging through long detail screens.

Use Quick Updates to:

• Update odometer readings (vehicles)
• Log service / expense (fuel, service, parts, other)
• Log fluid observations (vehicles)
• Log tire pressures (vehicles)

#Where to find Quick Updates

You can open Quick Updates from a few places:

• From Vehicles & Gear: long-press an item card → choose the action you want
• From Garage Details: open an item’s ⋮ menu → choose what you want to log
• From Asset Details: use the shortcuts/cards for readings and related actions

If you don’t see Quick Updates, you may have viewer (read-only) access for that item’s garage.

#Before you start (common patterns)

#Time and timestamps

• You’ll usually pick a time in your device’s local timezone.
• GearOS stores the event as a precise moment in time and will display it back in your local time.

#Optional odometer field

Many Quick Updates include an optional odometer field. If you enter it, it helps MaintenanceFreak:

• Build better maintenance schedules
• Interpret fuel/expense and service history more accurately

#Update Odometer (vehicles)

Use this when you have a new odometer reading.

1. Open Quick Actions for a vehicle (long-press the card)
2. Choose Update Odometer
3. Enter the reading
4. Confirm the timestamp if shown
5. Tap Save

#Log service / expense

Use this when you spend money on the vehicle or gear item (fuel, service, parts, etc).

1. Open Quick Actions
2. Choose Log service / expense
3. Select the category:
   • Fuel
   • Service
   • Parts
   • Other
4. Fill in the form
5. Tap the save button for that mode (for example, “Save fuel log”)

#Fuel

Typical fields:

• Fuel type
• Amount paid
• Quantity + unit
• Unit cost (optional; may autofill)
• Location (optional)
• Notes (optional)

#Service

Typical fields:

• Amount paid
• Category/summary fields (as prompted)
• Location (optional)
• Notes (optional)

#Parts

Parts logging is more detailed because it can track:

• Which parts were used
• Quantities, packaging, and cost
• Leftover handling (when applicable)

If the form asks what to do with leftovers, you may be able to:

• Put remainder into garage inventory (only when the asset is assigned to a garage that supports it)
• Mark remainder as discarded

#Other

Use this for expenses that don’t fit the other buckets (fees, parking, tolls, etc).

#Log fluid observation (vehicles)

Use this to record a fluid level check (oil, coolant, etc).

1. Open Quick Actions
2. Choose Log fluid levels / Log fluid observation
3. Select the fluid type
4. Select the observation level (Empty → Full)
5. (Optional) Record quantity added + unit
6. Tap Save

#Log tire pressures (vehicles)

Use this to record tire pressures for one or more tires.

1. Open Quick Actions
2. Choose Log tire pressures
3. Enter the readings requested (front/rear, or individual tires depending on the form)
4. Tap Save

#After you save

You should see a confirmation toast like:

• “Odometer updated”
• “Saved fuel log”
• “Update succeeded”

Your logged entries may surface in:

• Monitoring charts (if enabled)
• Asset history/summary views
• Task planning and reminders
