The subject explains itself.

We have a case where we have cars as a custom object and cars have a property called “Last service time”. We would like to run automation that sends reminder emails to clients when X amount of time has passed after the last service time.

Contact automation has this already. The company version is coming and has [its own post](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Workflows-centered-on-date-property/idi-p/204120). Also, there are similar discussions about Deal automation [here](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Create-Center-on-a-date-or-Center-on-a-date-property-deal-based/idi-p/396436) and [here](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Date-based-deal-workflow/idi-p/317803).

Date-centered and date property-based workflows are necessary for multiple of our clients. And this kind of automation is needed for custom objects also. This helps our clients to deliver a **better customer experience**.
