Consider these scenarios; at least one is probably going to sound familiar to you:
I have to admit,..I have experienced more than one of the scenarios above. I bet most of us have.
One of the coolest things about the Information Hub is that I have it backed up on my Google Drive, so I can access it from my phone. So even if I find myself at a different mechanic than I’m used to dealing with, and they have no records of my car’s maintenance history, I can still access all of this information on the go.
Keep reading to see all of the things that are included in the Vehicles Section!
This section includes details such as:
There is room to keep all of these details for every one of your vehicles:
You could use this flexible section for whatever you want. Possible ideas might include: a copy of your driving records, accident photos, a copy of your owner’s manuals, a copy of roadside assistance contracts, etc.
Our vehicles are SO IMPORTANT!
We depend on our vehicles to get us to our jobs so that we can earn money to support our families. We want them to be safe and reliable, whether we’re going to the doctor’s office 10 minutes from home or making memories on a road trip to grandma’s house in another state. They might tow a boat to the lake every weekend, or facilitate toddler potty training stops every 2 miles.
Regardless of what we are using our vehicles for, we need to be sure they are receiving the maintenance they need in order to remain reliable.
Our time and energy should be spent on our loved ones; not on inefficiency and stress. Every time we go hunting for information that we have already looked up in the past, we are just wasting time. Maintaining vehicle records streamlines the necessary process of vehicle care.
If you have a pile of papers and receipts in your glove compartment (or maybe sliding around on your dashboard), it’s time to get organized!
Even if you have a file with all of your receipts in it, I highly recommend transferring the information to the Info Hub so you have a snapshot of the exact services that have been performed on your vehicles.
I love that not only are all of our car maintenance records in one spot, but so is our auto loan information, our license plate numbers, VINs, auto insurance information, etc. Whether I’m calling the e DMV or our mechanic, I know exactly where to go to get the information I need.

There is no timeline for completing every section of the Information Hub, but you will feel so prepared and organized once you’re done. Just remember, one section at a time. Maybe even one page at a time. It’s well worth the effort!
Having a system in place for storing documents is essential. This is how to easily organize your medical information the right way without losing your mind.
Financial papers feeling a bit overwhelming? You need a great system to help organize your financial information. Know what to track and how to keep it handy.
If you struggle to remember basic info for everyone in your family at inconvenient times, it’s time to finally organize your personal information. The Information Hub has a section for that!
