Select this type to register a maintenance service for the unit and specify its cost. This allows you to record maintenance costs and reset service intervals so that the system starts the countdown to the next service based on these intervals again.
To register maintenance work, enter the following data:

- description;
- values of mileage and engine hours counters at the moment of the event (the current values are displayed but you can edit them);

- date and time of maintenance (by default, the current date and time are displayed);
- location (press the Select Location icon and double-click on the map to specify the position or edit this field manually).
In the Mileage field, it is not possible to enter a value that exceeds 2147483 mi.
In the upper part of the dialog, you see the list of service intervals from the Service intervals tab. Check the services that have been carried out. This is required in order for the selected intervals to be zeroed and the countdown to start anew. Note that if you select any maintenance interval here, the contents of the Kind of work field changes correspondingly.
