aCar for Androids

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Wow!  Let me tell you about this application that I found a little bit ago.  I was looking for a program that would be used on my Android OS phone, the Verizon Droid X, and I wanted to be able to keep up with all of my maintenance, fill-ups, repairs, and anything else having something to do with my car.

Well, I found the perfect solution.  The programmer, Armond Avanes, is a JAVA Developer that developes applications for the Android environment.  Mr. Avanes developed one hell of a program.

There are several pros and hardly any cons at all.  Some of the pros are simply these points:

  • Record all fill-ups, maintenance repairs, oil changes, and anything having to do with the vehicle.
  • Able to track several vehicles at once.
  • If you are selling a vehicle, you can send the entire service record via email to somebody interested.
  • Technical support is phenominal.  Mr. Avanes responds very promptly to emails.
  • Different type of charts and graphs to illustrate different scenarios.
  • aCar predicts when you next fill up will be based of history of fillups for particular vehicle.
  • Tracks last month, current month, and last three months of fillups.
  • Assists in budgeting monthly fuel cost without any heartache.

There are so many pros to having this program, that I don’t have the time to list them.  You can visit his site located at:

You can see some of the screenshots below.  I would definetly put this little application on my phone if I didn’t already have it.  It’s a PLUS!
