Today there are apps for practically everything. When it comes to your car and driving experience, you can bet there are apps for that too. Whether you have the latest model vehicle with all the bells and whistles or a vehicle that’s over 15 years old, there are apps out there to make your car maintenance and driving experience that much better.

With the right app, you’ll know things like where to pay less for gas, where the nearest parking spot is, what’s the typical cost to repair a fender bender in your area, how to get from point A to point B even if your car doesn’t have a built-in navigation system, which route to take to avoid traffic jams, as well as access your favorite music playlist for a more enjoyable driving experience.

Today’s apps can even allow you to record the journey on the open road with professional-looking video results. You don’t need a fancy dash cam, only your smart phone and the right app. You can even enjoy the driving experience of a muscle vehicle from your own ordinary vehicle with an app that’ll generate the sound of a great big engine. It follows your pedaling and breaking actions in-vehicle to reflect that of the muscle car. Hey, it’s all about the driving experience so don’t be surprised such apps exists.
