What is AutoBrain?

AutoBrain Team · 26 August 2026 · Product

Five things AutoBrain does for you and your car — in plain English.

You know that sinking feeling when the ATO asks for your logbook and all you have is a shoebox of receipts? Or when you forget whether you did the oil change yourself or paid a shop — and when? AutoBrain exists so none of that happens again.

It is the car companion that remembers everything — your kilometres, your spend, your service history, your mods — so you can spend less time hunting through old texts and more time driving.

1. ATO Compliance Logbook

A logbook that helps you keep track of your tax-claimable kilometres. If you drive for work — whether it is a daily commute to a job site or client visits across town — AutoBrain records every trip so you have the figures ready at tax time. No more guessing or scribbling on the back of a napkin. (An OBD plug-in device for automatic tracking is coming soon.)

2. Fuel & Service Record Tracking

Log every fill-up and service in one place. AutoBrain shows you how much your car actually costs to run — and helps you claim a percentage of your fuel and service costs on tax. It is the kind of visibility your accountant wishes you had.

3. DIY + Shop Servicing Records

Whether you wrench in the garage or hand the keys to a mechanic, every job goes into one organised history. Perfect for enthusiasts who love getting their hands dirty — and for anyone who just wants to know the car is looked after.

4. Car Modifications Tracker

Record every mod — what, when, how much, and why. Useful for keeping on top of your build personally, and ready whenever a modification qualifies for an ATO claim.

5. Community Garage

A space to show off your car, see other people's builds, swap tips, and ask anything — no question too basic. Whether you are restoring a classic or just starting out, this is where car people connect.


In short: AutoBrain keeps your car organised, your tax claims on track, and your passion connected. One app, everything about your car — always at your fingertips.
