A motorcycle service book in PDF that buyers and shops accept
Telling a buyer or a shop about your service history is not proof. A PDF they can open and keep is.
Garagely turns your logged service history into a PDF service book you can save to your device or email straight from the app. It covers the bike's current status and key details, generates on the server in a moment, and is free to export up to three times a day.
Why a spoken history does not close a sale
- A buyer cannot check your memory. A document they can open settles the question a story never does.
- A shop you have never visited before has no reason to trust a verbal summary of what was serviced and when.
- A screenshot of the app on your phone is not something a buyer can keep or forward to their own mechanic.
- At trade-in, a dealer values a real service record over a rider's recollection.
Myth vs reality
The myth
My logged history in the app is already proof enough.
Why people believe it
Every service is right there on your screen, dated and itemized, so it feels like proof already.
The reality
A buyer or a shop wants something they can keep, not a screen you show them once and take back. A PDF is a document; an app on your phone is not.
What to do instead
Export the service book and hand over the file itself: saved to a device, or sent straight to an email address.
Riders like you
Has a buyer who wants proof of maintenance before agreeing on a price.
Exports the service book PDF on the spot and sends it to the buyer's email, and the price stops being a debate.
Books a service at a shop that has never seen the bike before and asks what has been done to it.
Hands the mechanic a PDF with current status and key details instead of trying to recall three years of work from memory.
Wants the dealer's trade-in offer to reflect a bike that was actually looked after.
Prints the service book ahead of the appointment, and the offer is built on a document, not a guess.

Questions riders ask
Is the service book PDF really free?

Do I need an internet connection to export it?
Yes. The document generates on the server, so you need a connection at the moment you export.
What is the difference between the service book and the full report?
The service book covers current status and key details and is free. The full report covers everything on record for this bike and is a Pro, email-only export.
How many times can I export in a day?
Up to three exports a day.
What happens if I try to export again with nothing new logged?
The app tells you nothing has changed and lets you confirm Save anyway or Send anyway.
