Simply having a good record of your car issues can help you predict problems and even prevent them. However, with the crazy every day schedule you probably have, you have to admit that you are having a hard time keeping track with all the vehicle whatnots that you need to remember.
This is where this app comes in handy. You no longer have to try cram all this information into your memory. The app keeps records of such things as the last time you had your tires rotated and how long it has been since you changed your oil. It can also track your fuel consumption for you, so you can concentrate on doing what you do best, putting all your car problems behind you.
It is designed specifically for iPhones and will cost you $2.99 to get it.

For the Android users, this is the app for you. It is also a vehicle tracking app, that will not only keep records of your car issues, maintenance schedules, repairs and the likes, but will also record for you the cost incurred with these operations. It helps you keep a much better watch on your car and its costs. Best thing about it? It’s free!

FUZZYCar allows you to connect the diagnostic computer of your car to the internet so that you can get an idea what exactly your car is trying to tell you. All you need is your smartphone, a WIFI scanner, and of course the app, which will cost you $4.99.
