The Car Care Planner | Car Maintenance Log and Checklist for ADHD and Autistic Adults | Printable PDF
The registration expired last month. The oil change you did "recently" was over a year ago. There's a little orange light on the dashboard you've decided not to think about, and the call to the mechanic has been on your list for three weeks. 🚗
A car comes with a lot of invisible admin, and ADHD and autistic brains don't love invisible admin. The Car Care Planner puts it all on paper: the dates, the upkeep, the weird noises and the phone calls, so you don't have to carry it in your head.
What's inside (13 pages):
- My car at a glance: plate, VIN spot, tire size and pressure, oil type, where the spare key lives
- The paperwork calendar for registration, insurance, inspection, license and roadside renewals
- My upkeep rhythm: copy your manual's service schedule once, plus a 10-minute monthly walk-around
- Maintenance log, so "I think I did that last spring?" becomes a real answer
- Weird noise diary with a word bank (squeal, clunk, pulls left...) to describe it to a mechanic
- Mechanic scripts: booking, describing the problem, asking for a price first, asking for time to think
- The car kit checklist, with room for your comfort extras (earplugs, sunglasses, a safe snack)
- If something happens: calm steps for a breakdown or a small bump, and a details-to-swap table
- Car money tracker, a road trip check, and cut-out glovebox + dashboard cards
Good to know:
- Instant download: ZIP with US Letter and A4 PDFs plus a READ ME
- Print it, or fill it in on a tablet in GoodNotes, Notability or any PDF app
- Personal use for your household
- An organizing tool, not mechanical, legal or insurance advice. Follow your owner's manual and a qualified mechanic.
