## Core maintenance scheduling capabilities

### Schedule service by mileage and time

Set recurring intervals by mileage, weeks, months, or years. MyCarTracks checks due state automatically as usage and time progress.

*   • Recurring intervals by mileage or time
*   • Automatic due-state checks
*   • Flexible setup for different service types

### Get notified before maintenance becomes urgent

Configure pre-warning thresholds so teams get alerted early and can schedule service before it turns into downtime.

*   • Time-based example: alert 1 week before due date
*   • Mileage-based example: alert 500 miles/km before interval
*   • Clear Due Soon status for proactive scheduling
