A decision aid, not a maintenance manual.
The first month with a car brings paperwork, questions and new routines all at once. First Car does not try to answer vehicle-specific questions for you. It helps you see what you have, find out where the right answers come from, and decide what to do next.
- KNOWWhat you have
- Write down what you actually have: the car, the paperwork, the keys, and what came with it.
- VERIFYWhat to confirm
- Note what needs confirming and where the authoritative answer lives—your owner’s manual, insurer, registration authority or a qualified professional.
- PLANSource-backed next steps
- Turn what you have confirmed into a short list of next steps, each tied to the source it came from.
- KEEPRecords you can find
- A map of where documents, contacts, dates and receipts live—not a vault for originals.
Built for the first month
Designed for first-time car owners in their first weeks of ownership. It helps with:
- Seeing what you have before deciding what to do
- Separating what to verify from what to assume
- Planning next steps from authoritative sources
- Keeping important records findable
Deliberately limited in scope
To stay accurate, the workbook is clear about what it is not. It does not provide:
- A generic maintenance schedule
- Warning-light interpretation
- Diagnosis or repair instructions
- Roadworthiness or safety claims
- Legal, insurance or repair advice
- A safety certification
Vehicle-specific, safety, legal, insurance and repair questions are routed to the appropriate authoritative source or qualified professional.
Privacy-conscious by design
The workbook does not ask you to write down your full VIN. KEEP pages note where important information lives rather than collecting it all in one place.
