Logbook

A logbook is like a diary, but instead of writing about your day, you document important information about something else, like your car. For car owners, a logbook is a place to keep track of when regular maintenance should be done, like oil changes and tire rotations, and it also serves as a record of any problems that come up so that a mechanic can fix it properly. Logbooks are also used for airplanes, ships, and other large machines with lots of parts that need to be monitored and kept working properly.
