4 Auto Maintenance Pro Version 11
1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
Auto Maintenance Pro makes it easy to track and organize preventive and repair maintenance
information on your vehicles. However, it is flexible enough to allow you to track as little or as much
information as you like.
Along with helping you organize your vehicle information, Auto Maintenance Pro will also automatically
calculate and report maintenance due for your vehicles. When you start Auto Maintenance Pro,
automated and color-coded PM (preventive maintenance) alerts instantly show you which vehicles and
are due for service at all times.
In addition to pre-defined maintenance services, ranging from changing the oil to performing an engine
tune-up, you have the flexibility to define your own PM services and set their desired intervals. When
maintenance is performed on a vehicle, it can be recorded and saved to the history so you can easily
monitor PM, repair, parts, and overall operating costs to help prevent future problems and increase your
resale value. Print detailed reports and specify report-filtering criteria to analyze only the data you need.
Auto Maintenance Pro also tracks vendors, fuel purchases, insurance data, registrations, purchasing
details, and loan/lease information. Auto Maintenance Pro is very flexible and it is also very easy to use.
2. System Requirements
To use Auto Maintenance Pro, we generally recommend the following minimum requirements:

2 Getting Started
2.1 Introduction
Welcome to Auto M aintenance Pro! This section is designed to help you get Auto Maintenance Pro up
and running quickly. If you have already used Auto Maintenance Pro and have an understanding of how
the program operates, some of the information in the "Getting Started" section may be skipped.
Although, there are a few tips included in this section that are beneficial and will save you time.
Therefore, we encourage you to step through the Quick-Start Guide regardless of experience.
Auto Maintenance Pro ships with a small amount of sample data. We recommend using the sample
data provided to try some of the popular features included with Auto Maintenance Pro. After you have
a good understanding of the program, the sample data can be manually deleted.
The first sections will discuss the Main Menu and the Equipment Manager, which are the primary
screens of the program. Then, we will step through the procedure for setting up the program and
entering your vehicles. Finally, we will cover some of the more common features of the program such
as recording maintenance performed, viewing maintenance history, and reporting.
Click the "Add" button to add new vehicles. Corresponding menu command: File/Add...
Click the "Edit" button to modify or view the selected vehicle's general information that was entered

The menu commands are located in a row across the top of the main menu screen and provide access
to all of the features included with Auto Maintenance Pro.
File - Add, edit, duplicate, or delete vehicles. Also includes database backup / restore features and
access to program options.
Setup - Edit PM schedules, vehicle categories, vendors, and drop-down choices lists.
Equipment - Vehicle specific functions such as recording maintenance performed, viewing maintenance
history, etc.

Window - If applicable, options in this menu allow you to tile and/or cascade open windows on the
screen.
Help - Supplies online help, common help issues, technical support information, contact information,
version information, and website information here.
2) Choose the meter type of the new vehicle: Mileage, Kilometers, or Hours.
3) Enter the Year, Make, Model, Current Mi/Km/Hrs, Base Mi/Km/Hrs, and Base Date.
Note: The base information is used to initialize the PM service's Last Performed Date and Mi/Km/Hrs
data which is used when calculating maintenance due. This last performed data can be adjusted for
accuracy after the new vehicle/equipment is added, if needed. You will see this in Step #5. Also, the
"Base Mi/Km/Hr" figure is used when calculating Cost Per Mi/Km/Hr. For example, if you are just
starting to track maintenance on a vehicle with 30,000 miles, enter 30,000 miles into this field. If you
have old maintenance records you plan to enter into Auto Maintenance Pro prior to 30,000 miles, enter
in the earliest mileage for which you have records (ie: 2,300 miles).
Note: We have just entered all of the required inform ation. You can enter as m uch or as little inform ation in
the other fields as you like.
Custom Fields:
There are a total of 28 custom fields you can define on the vehicle information tabs. Tabs that contain
the custom labels are "General" (5), "Specifications" (18), "Purchase" (2), "Expirations" (2), and "Loan/
Lease" (1). All custom fields read "(click to define)" when you are adding a new vehicle. Simply click on
the "(click to define)" text to define the label. An input box will be displayed showing the current label
name. Alter the name to your liking and then click "Ok".
TIP: Once the custom labels are changed to your liking, they can be saved as defaults by checking the "Save
Custom Labels as Default" checkbox on the bottom of the screen. They w ill then be used as defaults for each
subsequent vehicle you enter.
5) Lastly, you will be asked if you wish to configure the PM services at this time. Clicking "Yes" will take
you to the "PM Setup" screen for the selected vehicle. From there, you can add, edit, or delete any of
the default maintenance services. You should also ensure that the "Last Performed" date
and/or mi/km/hrs is accurate. Again, the "Last Performed" data is used when calculating maintenance
due. You should tell Auto Maintenance Pro when the services were last performed, or let Auto
Maintenance Pro assume the Base Date and Base Mileage figures for the last performed data. To
learn more on the "PM Setup" screen, see the "PM Setup" help topic. Note: If you choose "No", You
can always configure the "Last Performed" data at a later time by clicking the "Last PM" button on the
main menu screen.
There are two methods you can use to access the PM services for your vehicles/equipment. After adding
a vehicle into Auto Maintenance Pro, you will be asked if you wish to configure the PM service's for the
vehicle. If you choose "Yes" the "PM Schedule Setup" screen will display. For a vehicle already added,
select the vehicle on the main screen. Then, you can gain access to the "PM Schedule Setup" screen
To add a PM service:
2) You can enter the Service Name and set your desired date and/or meter interval values.
In order to save time when setting up your maintenance schedules, you can import PM services from
other schedules. Some of your schedules may differ only slightly from others and importing would
eliminate re-typing the same PM services you already entered in another schedule.
5)Of the left side of the screen, choose the schedule you wish to import from using the "Import From
Schedule" drop-down list. The PM services associated with the selected schedule will be populated in
the "Services Available" box.
6)In the "Services Available" box, click on the service(s) you wish to import. You can select multiple
services by using the Ctrl-Click or Shift-Click methods. If you wish to import ALL services, click the "
Select All Services" check box below the source list to highlight ALL maintenance services in the
source list.
7)Click the button to add (import) the selected service(s) to the "Current Schedule" on the right side
of the screen.
For additional information on the import screen, see Import Maintenance Services screen help topic.
You will notice in the screen above that one vehicle is highlighted "red". This red highlight indicates the
vehicle is due or overdue for service. A yellow highlight would indicate that the vehicle is soon due for
service. The color coded indicators automatically appear when the vehicle is due or soon due for service
based on the preventive maintenance schedule settings you define for your vehicles. The configuration
of preventive maintenance schedules was discussed in an earlier section.
In addition, by clicking the " +" indicator to the left of the vehicle, the vehicle row will expand to show the
exact PM services, repairs, and vehicle expirations that are due or soon due as seen in the image
below:
The vehicle listing displays the vehicles/equipment that are currently loaded into Auto Maintenance Pro.
When you click on a vehicle in the list, its corresponding vehicle information is loaded into the tabs on
the right. For each vehicle, there is a "General", "Specifications", "Purchase", "Expirations", "Loan/
Lease", "Insurance", "Photo" and "Notes" tab to maintain information about the vehicle. The tabs are
discussed in more detail below.
Vehicle Information
The vehicle information section contains all the descriptive details about the selected
vehicle/equipment separated into 9 pages (tabs) of information. For each vehicle, there is a "General",
"Specifications", "Purchase", "Expirations", "Loan/Lease", "Insurance", "Photo", and "Notes" tab to
maintain information about the vehicle. Each tab is briefly described below.
"General" tab screen - contains information most significant to the vehicle such as year, make, model,

5)If you need to add maintenance tasks that were performed, click on the button. Choose a PM
service or Repair item from the list and if desired, indicate parts and/or labor costs that were involved
and click "Save".
6) We have entered the minimal information on this screen. You can enter additional details if you like.
At the moment you click the "Save" button, provided all due (or soon due) maintenance has been
satisfied, the vehicle will not longer be color shaded on the "Equipment Manager" screen. The
maintenance data has been updated for the tasks performed, and the date/meter values will be
automatically advanced to the next respective due date/meter. In addition, the maintenance entry
details will be recorded in the maintenance history for the vehicle.
Expirations:
Vehicle expirations such as registration renewals, MVI notifications, emissions, etc. may be updated
from the Equipment Manager screen by right clicking on the expanded service list and selecting "Update
Expiration". A calendar will be displayed for you to select the next expiration date.
1) Select a vehicle.
There are 4 tabs located on the history screen: "History Entries", "Maintenance Tasks",
"Repairs", and "Parts"
The "History Entries" tab displays the history records logged for the chosen vehicle on the "Equipment
Manager" screen. You can see greater detail for an individual history record by selecting a particular
history record and clicking on the other tab screens to view PM details, repairs, parts, etc. In addition,
multiple history records can be selected on this screen by using the <Ctrl> or <Shift> keys. As you
select multiple history records, the PM, Repairs, and Parts tabs will be populated with the details of ALL
selected records..
On the bottom of the screen, you will notice date interval viewing parameters and totals for all PM,
repairs, parts, and labor:
The date interval settings allow you to view the history between a certain date period. Check the "Enable
date range" check box and use the calendar selection controls to adjust the dates accordingly. The
date interval parameters can also be set in the program options to maintain the same date interval
settings each time the maintenance history screen is displayed.
The "Totals" section is calculated based on the history entries being viewed. If you have a date
interval setup for the current year, the totals will only be calculated for the current year. The cost per
mi/km/hr (located just above the "Totals" section) is calculated in the same manner.
All of the reports can be activated from the "Reports" drop-down menu on the main screen. The reports
are categorized so you can easily find the report you are looking for. In addition, many of the screens in
Auto Maintenance Pro contain a "Print" button where you can generate reports that are associated with
that screen.
When you choose a report to be printed, the following screen will appear:
Depending on which report you choose, the available filtering controls will be displayed on this screen.
Auto Maintenance Pro lets you define the data you wish to be displayed in the report by providing
filtering criteria. Depending on the report you select, there will be filtering and sorting options that will
appear on this screen. The filtering and sorting options for each report vary by the type of report
being printed. For example, a report that does not have any date criteria available will not display the
date filtering options.
If the selected report is equipment based (i.e. history), the equipment filtering options will be
displayed:
This feature allows you to print by equipment selection. The choices are:
"All Equipment" - prints the selected report for all of your vehicles.
"Selected equipment only" - prints the selected report for the selected vehicle on the "Equipment
Manager" screen. You may multi-select vehicles on the "Equipment Manager" screen. .
Date Filtering
If the selected report contains date information, the date filtering option will be displayed:
Check the "Print records where..." check box to enable date filtering for the selected report.
Then, if there are multiple date fields in the report, choose the date field for which you wish to filter. In
the example above, "Date Completed" is the chosen date field.
Next, to save time, Auto Maintenance Pro provides a quick list of available date filters (i.e. Current
Year, Current Quarter, Last Year, Last Month, ...etc). Choosing one of these quick filters will
automatically fill in the date boxes with the appropriate dates. You can also adjust the dates manually
if you like.
If you need to be more specific, Auto Maintenance Pro also provides an area for you to filter by
essentially any field in the report. Just check the "Specify additional filter criteria" check box to
enable this section. Then, choose the "Field" you wish to filter by, the "Condition", and finally the "
Value".
Sorting Options
You can sort your report using up to three fields. Each report has its own default sorting fields which
will be displayed in this area automatically. Therefore, you don't have to choose a sorting method
unless you want to sort your report differently than the default settings.
TIP: Keep in m ind that grouping in a report's design can interfere w ith the sorting fields you choose.
Use the sort field drop-down lists to choose each sort field. If you don't want to sort by any particular
field, choose "(none)" from the list.
Other Options
"Print" - Choose "Print" to print the report directly to the printer. You will be provided with a print
screen that allows you to select the printer, copies, and other options prior to printing the report.
"Preview" – Choosing preview will preview the report on the screen prior to printing. The preview
window also provides options for searching, e-mailing, and other view options. A print button is also
provided in order to print directly from the preview screen. To get additional help on previewing
reports, see the "Print Preview" help topic.
This concludes the Auto Maintenance Pro "Getting Started" section. There are many additional features

9 Reports
1. Printing Reports
There are two methods by which to print reports in Auto M aintenance Pro:
1) You can print reports from many of the data screens in Auto Maintenance Pro. Screens that contain a
print button will generate a report for the data on that screen. When you click the "Print" button a
popup menu will allow you to choose from the available reports for that screen. Once you choose a
report, a screen will appear that will allow you to provide filtering to the data (if desired). For additional
information on filtering, see "Data filtering methods" in the "Tips & Trick s" help topic.
2) On the main menu, click on the "Reports" drop-down menu at the top of the screen and choose a
report. Once you choose a report, a screen will appear that will allow you to provide filtering to the data
(if desired). For additional information on filtering, see "Data filtering methods" in the "Tips & Trick s"
help topic.
All of the reports can be activated from the "Reports" drop-down menu on the main screen. The reports
are categorized so you can easily find the report you are looking for. In addition, many of the screens in
Auto Maintenance Pro contain a "Print" button where you can generate reports that are associated with
that screen.
When you choose a report to be printed, the following screen will appear:
Depending on which report you choose, the available filtering controls will be displayed on this screen.
Auto Maintenance Pro lets you define the data you wish to be displayed in the report by providing
filtering criteria. Depending on the report you select, there will be filtering and sorting options that will
appear on this screen. The filtering and sorting options for each report vary by the type of report
being printed. For example, a report that does not have any date criteria available will not display the
date filtering options.
If the selected report is equipment based (i.e. history), the equipment filtering options will be
displayed:
This feature allows you to print by equipment selection. The choices are:
"All Equipment" - prints the selected report for all of your vehicles.
"Selected equipment only" - prints the selected report for the selected vehicle on the "Equipment
Manager" screen. You may multi-select vehicles on the "Equipment Manager" screen. .
Date Filtering
If the selected report contains date information, the date filtering option will be displayed:
Check the "Print records where..." check box to enable date filtering for the selected report.
Then, if there are multiple date fields in the report, choose the date field for which you wish to filter. In
the example above, "Date Completed" is the chosen date field.
Next, to save time, Auto Maintenance Pro provides a quick list of available date filters (i.e. Current
Year, Current Quarter, Last Year, Last Month, ...etc). Choosing one of these quick filters will
automatically fill in the date boxes with the appropriate dates. You can also adjust the dates manually
if you like.
If you need to be more specific, Auto Maintenance Pro also provides an area for you to filter by
essentially any field in the report. Just check the "Specify additional filter criteria" check
box to enable this section. Then, choose the "Field" you wish to filter by, the "Condition", and finally
the "Value".
Sorting Options
You can sort your report using up to three fields. Each report has its own default sorting fields which
will be displayed in this area automatically. Therefore, you don't have to choose a sorting method
unless you want to sort your report differently than the default settings.
TIP: Keep in m ind that grouping in a report's design can interfere w ith the sorting fields you choose.
Use the sort field drop-down lists to choose each sort field. If you don't want to sort by any particular
field, choose "(none)" from the list.
Other Options
"Print" - Choose "Print" to print the report directly to the printer. You will be provided with a print
screen that allows you to select the printer, copies, and other options prior to printing the report.
"Preview" – Choosing preview will preview the report on the screen prior to printing. The preview
window also provides options for searching, e-mailing, and other view options. A print button is also
provided in order to print directly from the preview screen. To get additional help on previewing
reports, see the "Print Preview" help topic.
This concludes the Auto Maintenance Pro "Getting Started" section. There are many additional features
included with the program which we did not cover. Other features include the tracking of vendors, fuel
usage, and more. For additional information, please view the online help provided with the program or
obtain the full manual from the CD-ROM or web site. Please visit w w w .mtcpro.com frequently for the
latest updates and information.

Each grid that supports advanced filtering methods will contain a button in each column of the grid
display. For example, the "Parts" screen contains a filtering button on each column.
By clicking the button in the "Name" column, we may be presented with the following:
The listing includes all possible name choices for the parts. To only view the "10-30wt oil" part, click on
"10-30wt oil" and the "Parts" screen will only display parts with a "10-30wt oil" date in the "Name"
column. To view all parts, click the again and choose "(All)".
Another method of filtering is a "Custom" filter. Once again, click the button on the "Name" column
and then choose "(Custom...)". The following "Custom Filter" screen will be displayed:
Using this screen, you can filter the data by certain criteria. There are numerous filtering functions on
this screen that can be used to filter your data.
You may also filter the data grids by checking the row filter checkbox located on the bottom toolbar of
some screens:
This will show a filter row that you may enter filtering criteria into:
In this example the filter will display all parts with the name "Air" in them.
To export the data in a particular grid, RIGHT click on the grid display and choose "Export..." from the
pop up menu. The following screen will be displayed:
Export To - Choose a destination for the export from the options listed above. The following exports are
supported:
Text File
Microsoft Excel (XLS)
HTML File
XML File
Export Options
Export all records - Exports ALL records listed in the grid. If certain records are not listed due to
filtering methods that have been applied (See the Filtering Data topic for more information), those
records will not be exported.
Export selected records - Exports ONLY the selected record(s). Some grids support single
selection and others support multi-selection. To multi-select in a data grid that support multi-
selection, hold down the <Ctrl> key while clicking on the rows you wish to be selected.
Column Separator/Delimiter - This character will be used to separate the column data when it is
exported.
Begin/End symbol strings for cell values - Specify symbols to be used at the beginning and end of
each data value in a column.
When you are finished setting your options, click the "Export..." button. You will be prompted to select
a location for the file using a save dialog box. Select a location and type the name for your file. Click "
Save" to export the data.
Using Auto Maintenance Pro's report filtering features, you can create batch reports based on selected
equipment, or all equipment. The "Selected equipment" choice will print the equipment that are selected
on the "Equipment Manager" screen. To multi-select equipment on the "Equipment Manager" screen,
hold down the <Ctrl> key while clicking the equipment for which you wish to have reports.
You can also generate batch reports by selecting the equipment for which you wish to generate reports
on the "Equipment Manager" screen. Then, click the "Reports" menu item on the top of the main menu
screen. Choose a report from the drop-down menu to generate a report based on the selected vehicles
on the "Equipment Manager" screen.
You can multi-select entries on the "History Entries" tab as well. When you do this, ALL PM, repairs,
and parts will be displayed for the selected entries. This can be useful to see how much is spent on a
particular maintenance service for the year. To do this:
This can be done with any tab on the history screen. You can also view "Cost Statistics" for your PM
Services. This will detail how much was spent on each PM service within a specified date period. See
the "Cost Statistics" topic for more information.
