Depends on how deep you want to go, but you could set up a table with common considerations and let users set frequency...
Most maintenance is mileage-dependent, so if you base your schedule on their monthly mileage, it could look like:
Repair Cost Frequency
------ ---- ---------
Oil Change $30 5000 mi
Tires $500 45000 mi
Battery $150 30000 mi
Timing Belt $1500 60000 mi
Misc $200 15000 mi
Do the math in impact/year and input that cost into your table...
- vonmoltke 12y agoTo complicate matters, some of those items are time or distance items. Oil and battery, for instance, need to be changed after a certain amount of time regardless of the miles driven. Not too hard to work into the pricing algorithm, though. If you wanted go get even more creative, you could get users to crowdsource scheduled maintenance tables for their vehicles. It's all in the owner's manual and just a matter of transcribing it.
