The great thing about Waze is that it not only does the basic GPS navigation, but it also is capable of rerouting you when there are changes in traffic. It is also capable of learning your preferred routes to your frequent destinations, such as on your commute. Best of all, it warns you of impending street cameras and speed traps.
Car Maintenance: RepairPal

Although with RepairPal you have to sign up for a free account, the extra time is definitely worth it. This app can keep track of your car maintenance history as well as help you find the best repair shops in your area or nearby when you are on a road trip. It also provides price comparisons between the different shops for common repairs such as replacing brake pads or oil changes, so that you can educate yourself on what price ranges are reasonable before approving a repair.
Car Accident: iWrecked
Available On: Android, and Apple
Hopefully, you will never have to use this app as it is designed to help guide you through what information you need to put together a claim after an accident occurs. However, it is definitely a good app to keep handy as you can call your insurance company directly from the app, find a tow company, take as many pictures of the damage as you want, and organize the insurance information of anyone else involved in the crash.
TextBuster
Available On: Android
We decided to add this program to the Top 5 Apps For Your Car article because it puts an end to teen texting. Texting while driving is almost as detrimental as drunk driving so we felt TextBuster deserved mention here. This Android-only app requires a $179 piece of hardware be installed into your car’s power source. This device sends instructions to the TextBuster app that deactivates all data transfer with the exception of voice and map GPS software. It makes your teen safe without you being big brother. It’s a smart balance between safety and freedom.
Below is a video explaining how the hardware gets installed in your car.
