Your Garage — Track Every Car You Own

Catalog every car in your garage, log mods with cost and dates, post updates, and share build pages with the world.

Last updated 2026-04-30·Open My Garage

Your garage on SPOOLED is the private — or public, your call — record of every car you own and every mod you've done to each. It's a build tracker, a mod-cost ledger, a dyno history, a parts log, and the source of truth that powers your public build pages. Built for daily-driver owners and full-tilt project builders alike.

What lives in /garage

  • Vehicle list — every car you own. Sold ones can be archived (kept for history) or deleted.
  • Mod log per vehicle — brand, part, install date, cost, who installed it, photos, paired mods. The same data drives the install count on the catalog page for that mod.
  • Dyno history per vehicle — every pull recorded with whp, wtq, fuel, dyno facility, mod state, and date.
  • Total spend — automatic cost rollup across all logged mods. The number you don't want to admit to.
  • Maintenance log — oil changes, fluid services, brake jobs, scheduled maintenance. Useful at sale time.
  • Visibility toggle — public, private, or unlisted-link.

Public vs private builds

Every vehicle in your garage starts private. You can leave it that way — your garage is a useful tracking tool even if you never publish — or toggle it public and it becomes a build page anyone can find. Public builds:

  • Get a permanent canonical URL: /build/[id]/[slug]
  • Are indexed by search engines
  • Surface on each mod's catalog page as a verified install
  • Earn PSI for posts, mod reviews, and how-tos written about the build
  • Are visible to people who follow you

How owners actually use the garage

Two patterns dominate:

  1. Daily-driver power-add. One car. Public build. Mods logged as you install them. A dyno pull every six months. Show & shines and wrench-day posts attached. Total spend on the build page becomes its own kind of trophy.
  2. Multi-car project builder. Several vehicles in the garage at any time. Some private (in-progress projects, the daily, the wife's car), some public (the show car, the track car). Maintenance logs on the boring ones, full posts on the interesting ones.

Maintenance log discipline

The maintenance log is the underrated feature. Logging oil changes, fluid services, and timing-belt intervals takes 10 seconds each and turns into a complete service history when you sell the car. Buyers have a way of believing a maintenance log with dates and odometer readings; they have no way of believing "I've been good about it."

Frequently asked

Can I track multiple cars in one garage?
Yes — the garage holds every vehicle you own. Each gets its own mod log, dyno history, and maintenance log. You can toggle visibility per vehicle, so your daily can be private while your project car is public.
Is my garage private by default?
Yes. Every vehicle starts private. You explicitly toggle it public when you're ready to share. Private vehicles are visible only to you; the rest of the platform doesn't see them, and they're not indexed by search.
How is total mod spend calculated?
Sum of the cost field across every mod you've logged for that vehicle. Optional — you can leave costs blank — but most owners fill them in because it makes the build page more useful (and the total an honest accounting of where the money went).
What happens to my build page when I sell the car?
You can archive the build instead of deleting it. Archived builds stay on your profile under a "previous builds" section, with everything intact — mod list, dyno history, posts. Useful both as personal history and as social proof when you start the next project.
Is the maintenance log searchable at sale time?
Yes — when the build is public, the maintenance log is visible to anyone viewing it. You can also export the full vehicle record (mod list, maintenance log, dyno history) as a single PDF for prospective buyers, useful for high-end or vintage car sales.
