Frequently Asked Questions

The Wrench is built for owners who want a clear, organized approach to what they own and what it costs over time. From your first big purchase to a full collection, it helps you stay on top of maintenance, control expenses, plan ahead for major costs, and keep every record in one place.

Start by adding what you own in the Fleet section, with the details and current usage for each. From there, head to Maintenance to set up your recurring tasks, and visit Financial Planning to start saving for upcoming expenses. The Dashboard pulls it all together at a glance.

Absolutely. The Wrench includes plain-English content on how your equipment works and what it needs. The guided setup walks you through adding what you own and building its maintenance schedule. You don't need to be an expert. You learn as you go.

The Wrench provides maintenance tracking, financial planning with compound interest projections, inventory management, document storage, usage logging, a calendar, expense tracking with analytics, and educational resources on how your equipment works and what it needs.

A few ways. Savings goals with compound interest projections help you plan ahead, so steady saving offsets future maintenance costs. Our education content builds the confidence to handle routine work yourself, saving time and money and catching small problems before they get expensive. You can also track tax-deductible expenses for anything used in business.

The Wrench goes beyond basic maintenance tracking by pairing service schedules with financial planning, and it teaches you what you're maintaining and why it matters. It's built to help you plan ahead and manage what you own with confidence.

Our content focuses on the common systems your equipment needs regular care for. We keep expanding the library based on user feedback and requests.

The Maintenance Schedule is for larger projects, anything worth budgeting for or handing to a professional. The Usage Tracker ties tasks to hours or miles and updates automatically as you log use. The Checklist is for routine upkeep on a set cadence, the smaller, inexpensive jobs that rarely need a pro.

Yes. You have full control over every maintenance interval. For usage-based services, set the exact number of hours or miles between them, and adjust any service as you learn what your conditions actually demand.

Yes. You can add and manage everything you own, each with its own maintenance schedule, inventory, and financial tracking. The tiered plans you may see are built around boats for now. How plans will work for other categories is something we're still shaping, and your feedback helps decide it.

We're continuously expanding The Wrench into new ownership categories, with the long-term goal of covering everything you own and maintain. Our vision is to let you upload a product or owner's manual and automatically generate a recommended service schedule. Your feedback plays a key role in shaping what we build next.
