Maintenance and Refit
Why keep a maintenance log and how should it be organised?
A maintenance log converts directly into money at sale time: it is the cheapest document available for reducing a buyer’s uncertainty, and it is one of the items that lifts a valuation. Keep it simple — date, work done, parts used, who did it, invoice.
Why it works this way
Compared against the engine’s ECU record, the log’s internal consistency also becomes visible. A log that matches the engine data is worth considerably more than one that does not.
