I usually do all of my own work on my cars - and I have several older
cars that tend to requires quite a bit of one-time services. I'd like
to be able to keep track of basically what I've spent on the cars.
But it's a minor hassle to just record "I did this today, and this is
what it cost". The assumption is that everything's scheduled ahead of
time, which makes the interface somewhat clunky for using this as a
cost tracker.

In my ideal world, there'd be a config option that tweaked the
interface to focus on one-time events when I select the "new reminder"
button (which, to me, looks like a "new service" button; I picture a
finger with string tied on for reminders). Perhaps it would start
with the date and distance constraints collapsed + set to off (and
ideally moved to the bottom), completion defaulting to completed, with
the odometer and date defaulting to the current values.

On a related note, when I'm entering in a service I performed today,
it'd be cool if there was a "new preset from service" option or
something which would let me use the values in the current service to
create a new preset.

And, as long as we're making service wishlists, it'd be nice if there
were global presets. There are several scheduled items which I do the
same across all of my cars (seven, currently). It's a bit of a pain
to create each thing seven times, and to remember to recreate all of
the items each time I get a new car. :) I'd personally prefer that
they were all global, since skipping over a few things in the list
would be a great tradeoff against having to recreate all reminders a
bunch of times. ;)

Of course, thanks for all the essentially uncompensated work you do on
this app. Honestly, this app is the only significant reason I'm still
using a WebOS device.

Great feedback. All of it. Thank you. I'll keep your suggestions in
mind as I continue to build out the feature set. Its good to see that
some of the very same things I'm already working toward are aligned
with the things being requested.
