Getting Started

Clutch is free for personal use. Create an account with your email address and a password, verify your email, and you're in. The rest of this guide covers what you can do once you're set up.

What's included, free

Add Your Vehicles

Add the vehicles you own. Cars, trucks, motorcycles — all in one place, organized and searchable.

Full Service History

Log every oil change, repair, and tune-up. Attach receipts and invoices. Never argue about when something was last done.

Parts & Warranty Tracking

Record every part you've installed. Clutch tracks time- and mileage-based warranties and tells you exactly when coverage expires.

Upcoming Service Reminders

Set a due date on any service record and Clutch keeps it on your radar. No more guessing when the next rotation or filter change is due.

AI-Powered Diagnostics

Credits required

Describe a symptom, paste in an error code, or ask about a repair — the AI knows your vehicle's make, model, and service history and gives you specific, actionable answers. New accounts get a free credit balance to start. Additional credits are available for purchase.
