The vehicle name I was using for my motorcycle data was there, but not the month of fill-ups and service records.

You've not donated and not registered your copy of aCar to go for Pro feature (let me know if I'm wrong). In non Pro mode, the import data functionality has some limitations which you'll be warned for before the "Import". Here is the exact text you've been shown but perhaps have not read it carefully:
"Full data import is available only to people who have donated. You can still import your data but with the following limitations:
1. Only the first ten lines of your file will be processed.
2. All your existing records will be wiped out.
Go to aCar website and donate if you want to fully activate this feature."
As you can see the second limitation, it will delete all your currently entered records before importing.

You've found a bug here! Thanks a lot for reporting :-) The bug is that "Start Restore" will bring up a never ending wait dialog (as you've already stated) instead of the warning dialog that says "Full Restore is only available to those who have donated... bla bla".
The good news is that I just released a new version (1.2.8) which fixes this problem.

Keep at it, you have a really good program with aCAr.

In Pro mode you have the option to leave the current records untouched while importing some new records. So far I haven't got any data loss report for import or restore.
