Abstract
The vehicles care system (VCS) is developed with a service interval schedule and general guidelines for the regular maintenance of several vehicles, such as cars, mini vans, pickups and tractors. This work tends to control the process of serving vehicles that require regular maintenance. The novelty of this work is about utilizing the Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates to determine the past distances for each vehicle. This can be useful to estimate the expiry of tires, oil engine, air filter, and filter of oil engine based on the past distance after a last service without a need of using Google Map or Google Earth software. To reduce the running costs for the GPS service; an offline saving records service for the GPS coordinates is offered. Utilizing the outcome of this service provides the ability to generate another useful report between two dates/times, such as speeds, routes, and estimating the consumed fuel.
