Uploading Receipts & Tabulations

There are several benefits of uploading your receipts and work done:

  • Digitize that pile of paper receipts before you lose or misplace them

  • Be able to search your receipts

  • Be able to tabulate the investment made in your vehicle

  • Have the ability to view or download your info at anytime

We know that uploading receipts might not be the most exciting thing to do, but we strive to make it as easy as possible, as easy as 1/ 2/ 3/

1/ Find and start uploading in any order you wish

CARPORT organizes your receipts or records of the work you did yourself for you. You don’t need to organize or sort your receipts beforehand, just start in whatever order you have them or as you find them.

Start by opening your Expense And Maintenance History Tab which will look empty to start.

Tap the + icon to add a new item.

Service Provider Name:

If you did the work yourself, you can just type in “Self” for the Provider Name.

If you use this Service Provider often, click the box to make future receipts faster to enter (and it enables other features like emailing To-Dos).

Adding mileage and date are valuable markers, and we use that info as part of your Provenance chart so you can show the care given to the vehicle.

Classify the type of expense using the check boxes. Add additional information if you would like in the Description field.

Use your phone’s camera to take a photo of your receipts. CARPORT will highlight the image and take the shot. We also scan the receipt to make it searchable whenever you want, including hand-writing.

Adding expense total. Select whatever currency the receipt was in. We convert the values to your home currency as of the date of the receipt.

2/ Segmenting Your Expenses From Past Owners

If you have entered in the date which you purchased the vehicle then CARPORT segment the expenses for you showing how much you’ve spent this year, since you bought the vehicle, and what was spent by previous owners.

To enter your vehicle purchase date, go to your Vehicles Detail page (tap your car picture or title from the main Vehicles List page") and then enter your month/year of purchase.

3/ Search & Download As Needed

Now with your service records all digital and in your pocket you can search them anytime you wish (handy when you can’t remember when a service was done or need to show your mechanic past work done).

You can also download all of your receipt history and receipt images. Just download a Vehicle Report at the bottom of the Vehicles Detail page. If you want a simple version choose option 1. If you want to have a zip file of all the receipts you uploaded, choose option 2. Both are free.

And that’s it… you’re digital.
