Move your maintenance spreadsheet into an app in a minute
If your service history already lives in a spreadsheet or a notebook, Garagely does not ask you to re-type it. Download the template, fill it in the format you already use, and import it in one go.
Garagely lets you import your existing maintenance history from a CSV file instead of typing every entry by hand. Download the template, pick miles or kilometers as your odometer unit, and the import reviews every row - showing how many are valid and how many have errors - before bringing in only the valid ones.
What re-typing years of history costs you
- A spreadsheet with years of service entries takes real time to copy into any new tool, one row at a time.
- Manual re-entry is where transcription mistakes happen - a wrong date or odometer reading is easy to introduce and hard to spot later.
- Starting an app with no history means losing the exact record a buyer or a mechanic would want to see.
- The longer the switch takes, the more likely the old spreadsheet just stays the system of record, and the new app never gets the full picture.
Myth vs reality
The myth
Switching apps means starting my service history from zero.
Why people believe it
Most tools only let you add entries one at a time going forward, so a spreadsheet full of past services looks like it has nowhere to go.
The reality
Garagely's import brings in your existing rows in one pass, not one at a time. Download the CSV template, fill your history into its columns, and that is your starting point, not a raw export from wherever your history lives now.
What to do instead
Download the CSV template, drop your existing entries into it in the same shape, and run the import instead of typing years of history by hand.
Riders like you
Tracked every oil change and part replacement in a spreadsheet for years and did not want to lose that record switching to an app.
Filled the CSV template with the existing rows, imported it in one pass, and the whole history was in the app in minutes instead of retyped over weeks.
Kept a paper log by date and odometer and wanted a digital record without losing what was already written down.
Transcribed the notebook into the CSV template once, imported it, and reviewed the valid-versus-error count before confirming the import.
How importing your history works, step by step
- 1
Download the CSV template
Start from the template so your existing entries land in the columns the import expects.
- 2
Choose your odometer unit
Pick miles or kilometers; entries in miles are converted automatically, so your existing spreadsheet does not need to be reworked.
- 3
Fill in your entries
Copy your existing service history into the template's columns - date, odometer, parts and notes - matching the format the template expects.
- 4
Upload the file
Import the filled-in CSV from inside the app.
- 5
Review the results
The import shows how many rows are valid and how many have errors, so you know exactly what will and will not be brought in.
- 6
Only valid rows are imported
Rows with errors are skipped rather than guessed at, so your imported history stays accurate; fix and re-import the rest if needed.

Questions riders ask
Is importing my history free?
Yes, CSV import is free and available to every rider.
Do I need a specific spreadsheet format?
Download the CSV template from the app and fill your entries into it - that format is what the import expects.
What if some of my rows have errors?
The import shows how many rows are valid and how many have errors, and brings in only the valid ones, so a few bad rows do not block the rest of your history.
Can I import miles if my template uses kilometers, or the other way around?
Yes, choose your odometer unit during import and mileage entries are converted automatically.
Do I need a connection to import?
Yes, importing needs a connection since the file is uploaded and processed from inside the app.
