Various rewards apps

Price: Free

Most large chain gas stations have rewards programs. You use your card when you buy gas and other items. The rewards points stack up and you use them to get gift cards, free stuff, and discounts on gas. There are several grocery stores with gas station chains that offer similar rewards. These may take a while to be effective. However, it's possible to get things like free gas and all kinds of other things over time. They're car apps worth having. In fact, everyone should have at least one of these apps. Some popular brands include Giant Eagle, Speedway, Kroger, Circle K, and others.

Your favorite parts stores

Price: Free

There are tons of stores that sell car parts. AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, and NAPA are just a few. Most major car parts chains have dedicated apps. You can use them to order parts, buy things, and surf inventory. In addition, online stores like eBay and Amazon (to a lesser extent) can be excellent sources for after market parts and parts that are hard to find. We won't recommend any one store because they all perform about as well. However, these are car apps many should have.

Manufacturer apps

Price: Free (usually)

Many car manufacturers have car apps now. They provide a variety of functions. That includes some fun stuff like remote starting your car or unlocking your car doors. You'll need to have the proper hardware installed on your car for most of it to work. Some other features include OnStar access, diagnostics, and more. Some even let you pay for your parking through the app. The range of features is vast, but also varies wildly between apps. Some of them are pretty decent while others could use some work. Still, it's worth a look at least.
