We’ve introduced a number of new features which we think you will like, all designed to help you manage your vehicles better and more easily. In the background this version provides some building blocks for some new features we will release soon.

Here’s a quick summary:

Additional Service Rings, All With Reminders

Our goal is to be the best possible assistant to help you manage your vehicles. Core to that is enabling your ability to set Service Rings for the maintenance items you want to track. This gives you maximum flexibility for what you want to monitor, and tailor it to each vehicle for what that vehicle needs.

Choose from a catalog of predefined Service Rings

Or create your own, set a reminder based on time or mileage

Now you can add additional Service Rings by selecting from our catalog of rings, or you can create your own custom ring. And as always, you can set your reminder intervals as you see fit, based on either mileage or time.

As you periodically update your odometer, or as time passes, or when you upload a relevant record for maintenance performed, CARPORT will update the rings and send you reminders as the set period comes to an end.

AI Comes To CARPORT, First To Market Values

We have been busy evaluating and developing features that take advantage of AI agents and models that would actually be useful to users and not just gimmicks. Step 1 starts now with a revised method for understanding market value ranges, and you’ll see more enhancements released in the coming weeks and months for market values as well as some other AI powered features.

A Fresh Look At Market Values

We’re introducing an agent that determines market value ranges for your vehicle. We opted for a “range” because vehicles aren’t really commodities where one is exactly like the other. Many factors impact value.

So v0.1 of this agent begins with presenting you a range that is influenced by your self-declaration of your vehicle condition and also taking into account what you have entered into your vehicle profile.

Classify your vehicle and note special circumstances

Set your own value, using the results as input

We at CARPORT don’t believe you can pinpoint a vehicles exact value, there are too many variables and circumstances that can make even identical vehicles have different values. In the absence of actually selling your vehicle we believe the owner understands the value of your vehicle best, so we let you peg the value of your vehicle, with our AI market ranges as just an input to your consideration.

The ai model will get better and better as we enhance it and also get feedback from users. So expect improvements happening on a regular basis as we work towards the results being a report you can use for valuation situations (selling, insurance, managing portfolio, etc.).

Revised Login Process w/ Passwords, 2-Factor

We needed to upgrade our security model to empower some of the features we have coming (keep it to yourself but it’s about sharable access). So we’ve implemented a basic password process that works with Google and iOS password managers. We’ve also added an optional two factor SMS code process.

If you haven’t already logged in since we released v1.2, you’ll be walked through a few new steps for you to establish your password. If you use Google or iOS to manage your passwords the process is integrated into those platforms, similar to what you find at most other apps and websites.

If you want even more security you can opt-in for two-factor authentication, using your mobile phone number. You can do this on your Settings tab.
