# Service Records

Snap a photo of a receipt and Scout pulls out the details automatically. See your maintenance history and what your vehicle has cost you to own.

> **Status:** Draft — content coming soon.

## What you can do

* Upload a photo or PDF of a service receipt — Scout reads the line items for you
* Track maintenance against the manufacturer's recommended schedule
* See total cost of ownership broken down by category (fuel, maintenance, insurance, depreciation)
* Get a heads-up before due dates for routine service

## Getting started

1. Open a vehicle in your garage and click **Add service record**
2. Upload a photo of the receipt or invoice
3. Review the parsed details and save

## Tips

* Save receipts as you go — easier than entering them all at once later
* Records improve trade-in and resale value when it's time to sell
