I'm not very experienced with
cars...can I use Automotive Wolf ? |
|
Absolutely YES!
Automotive Wolf was designed for the average car or
truck owner. It's also a valuable asset to any home/hobby car
enthusiast or even an experienced mechanic! ONLY
Automotive Wolf uses experienced automotive professionals to provide
the Car Care tips, and maintenance advice included in the software.
We asked our team of technical experts for their best
recommendations on all the Maintenance and Inspection requirements
we use in the software. Each and every requirement can then be
disabled or modified so that you can "tailor" the software to each
vehicle you own...you can even create your own maintenance
requirements! If you have little automotive knowledge simply follow the
base recommendations and advice for each requirement and you will
keep your car in great running condition and save money on repairs. |

|
Will Automotive Wolf predict
and remind me when maintenance is due ? |
|
Every single time! Each
maintenance requirement includes an auto alarm that displays a
reminder when you start the software or even when you simply turn on
your computer if the boot-up alarm option is set. Each alarm can be
turned "off" or "on" depending on your preference. Automotive Wolf's
prediction ability is extremely accurate and is configured
specifically for each vehicle you create! The reminders can be
based on mileage, date or both and are completely user configurable.
Automotive Wolf can also display a summary of all maintenance due
for all vehicles when you start the program. |

Can Automotive Wolf really
help me diagnose automotive problems ? |
|

it's diagnostic analysis of what component may be responsible and advice on what you should do!
We even include an Automotive Systems Reference that lets you learn
more about most standard components on automobiles. |

Easily!
Automotive Wolf's "Cost Analysis" mode displays all expenses
recorded for your vehicle in both table and graphical formats. The
Reports option in the software will both display and print out
beautifully formatted reports for all expense categories
(maintenance, repairs, improvements, fuel usage, and much more). A
Cost of Ownership report will even break down your expenses into
cost/mile , cost/day, cost/year, etc for any category or all
categories combined! The Cost of Ownership reports are valuable
tools in analyzing if the cost of maintaining your vehicle has
become prohibitive. |

used on my vehicle ? |

It's done
automatically! Automotive Wolf automatically records each
part used for each maintenance or repair record you enter. All
relevant information is saved including Part description, part

down menu or view all parts for each vehicle in the Parts List. |
