Make Driving Safer and Less Expensive with Zubie

This post brought to you by Zubie. All opinions are 100% mine.

I consider myself a pretty careful driver. I don’t speed and I’ve never caused a car accident, though I’ve been in several accidents…would you believe that they ALL involve me stopped at a red light or a stop sign and someone hits me at full speed? Crazy.

However, I am really bad about keeping up with car maintenance. Things like changing the wiper blades, putting air in my tires or getting my oil changed. My husband is forever reminding me to do these things. And the bad thing is…when you forget for too long, these things have a way of costing you WAY more money than they need to. Not good. But when you have a car, you have to realize that there are just certain things you need to take care of…and take care of in a timely fashion!

All of my husband’s nagging and my poor car care habits come to an end thanks to Zubie, a device that allows you to get real-time information on the health of your car and also tracks your driving behavior!

Now, while this would be a GREAT device for me, I think this is wonderful for families with teen drivers! The Zubie can:

• Save money on car repairs and prevent breakdowns
• Give you a low-battery alert
• Simple translations of engine codes

My favorite feature is the low-battery alert. I think this will come in handy for teen drivers because unless their parents are loaded and can afford to buy them a brand new car, they will have a car that is a little older and I know with my first car, my battery was forever dying on me.

Wondering where your teen is? No worries! You have the ability to stay in touch with secure location sharing and trip coordination features. It’s important for you to know that Zubie is a service that uses a celluar connection to keep you, your car and all of it’s on board systems in communication. This service works with the free Zubie app that is good for iOS 4+ and Android 2.3+. Watch this video for more information:
