Getting the most out of PitPulse
Last updated August 2026
PitPulse is a paid membership: your vehicle schedule, recalls, service history, garage, export, maintenance reminders and weekly mileage check-ins unlock after checkout. The setup wizard keeps your answers in this browser for up to 24 hours until payment confirms; there is no free plan or trial.
Your reminders
You'll get an email about two weeks before something's due, and again two days out if it's still open. That's it — no daily nagging, and nothing sends until something's actually coming up on your car's schedule.
Your weekly check-in
Once a week, open a vehicle and choose Update mileage. Enter the current odometer and the miles you drove during the last seven days. PitPulse refreshes the forecast from that real reading, while your existing monthly or annual membership keeps the schedule, reminders and records available. If you miss a check-in, PitPulse sends one email after seven days and one final nudge after fourteen; then it waits for you to update the vehicle instead of sending an endless stream.
One tap when it's done
Every reminder email has an “I already did this” link. Tapping it logs the service, resets that interval, and asks you to confirm your odometer — no login, no app to open. That confirmed odometer is also what keeps every other projection on your car accurate, so it's worth the five seconds.
The severe-duty schedule
If you told us this is gig work — rideshare, delivery, anything with constant stop-and-go — your intervals are already tightened to the manufacturer's own severe-duty schedule, roughly half the normal mileage for oil, brakes, filters and transmission fluid. If a mechanic or your own experience tells you a specific interval is wrong for your car, edit it — the defaults are a starting point, not a fixed fact.
Logging a service yourself
Don't want to wait for a reminder? Open a vehicle from your garage and use Log a service — three taps: what, when, and the odometer. Cost, shop and notes are optional, but adding cost is what powers your cost-per-mile number once you've logged a few services.
Multiple vehicles
Your plan isn't capped at one car — add every vehicle you drive from your garage, and each gets its own independent schedule and reminders.
Billing
Manage or cancel anytime from your account menu, which opens Stripe's billing portal directly. We offer a 7-day refund on any new subscription, no questions asked.
