CAR MAINTENANCE-CHEVY
CODE WITH CLAUDE
DAY 9

Car Maintenance Tracker

Ever dig through a shoebox of crumpled receipts trying to remember when you last changed your oil? This build solves that problem with a full-stack web application that tracks every service, repair, and maintenance task for your vehicle. Sign in with Google, snap a photo of your receipt right at the shop, and everything syncs to the cloud instantly. The app calculates when your next oil change is due, reminds you about seasonal maintenance like snow tires, and keeps a running total of what you've spent keeping your ride on the road. It's accessible from your phone, tablet, or computer - wherever you need it.

This project showcases the power of modern cloud services by integrating Firebase authentication, Firestore database, and cloud storage into a clean, responsive interface. We built two versions: a public demo on Wix for anyone to explore, and a fully secured personal tracker on Netlify with user authentication and private data storage. You'll learn how to connect frontend interfaces to backend services, implement real security rules to protect user data, handle file uploads, and deploy a production-ready app. Whether you're tracking a car, motorcycle, bike, or any equipment that needs regular maintenance, this build gives you the complete pattern for creating personalized tracking apps that actually solve real problems in your life.
