With the mass popularity of smartphones, most of us have the world at our fingertips. An endless amount of apps, tools and information can fit into our back pocket, but admittedly, a lot of us mainly use our smartphones for tweeting and playing Flappy Bird. With so many apps out there, it's hard to sift through and find the ones that we might actually need. Luckily, your friends at Westway Ford have done the legwork and found three apps that are must-haves for anyone with a driver's license.
Find cheap gas with Gas Buddy. No one likes to feel like they're overpaying for gas, and nothing is worse than filling up your tank only to find cheaper gas right down the street. Gas Buddy gathers pricing information on all the gas stations within a certain radius of your current location, allowing you to choose the station that can save you the most money. It also allows you to search by fuel grade (including diesel) and gives directions to the gas station of your choice.
Keep track of your vehicle's maintenance history with Car Minder Plus. Although everyone realizes the importance of regular vehicle maintenance, it's not always something we actively think about - and that makes it difficult to keep track of. Car Minder Plus makes it easy to track the maintenance history and fuel economy for multiple vehicles, allowing you to keep all your records in one place. Just input your vehicle's maintenance schedule and you'll be reminded to schedule an appointment when the time is right.
Eliminate smartphone distraction with DriveSafe.ly. If you just can't go your entire trip without responding to text messages or phone calls, DriveSafe.ly is for you. The app works as your personal assistant, reading your text messages aloud and responding to them automatically. You stay in the loop while your phone is out of reach - allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
These apps are available on both iOS and Android devices, and they all cost less than three dollars. Do you know of any other smartphone apps that make your life as a car owner a little easier? Visit our Facebook, Twitter or Google+ page and share your tips!
