Great Apps For Cars

There are many useful apps for cars. You can find the least expensive gas, keep all yourcar maintenance records, monitor fuel economy, remember where you parked your car,watch your engine performance, find places to park, and keep track of the time left on your parking meter all from your phone.


Here are some of the most highly rated car phone apps, some exclusive to iPhone and some to Android. You can download them from the links we provide or by searching for them in your favorite App store.


Our Favorite Apps:


Note: Free apps generally have advertising associated with them. Apps you pay for have less (or no) advertising and tend to have better import/export features.


Pellman’s Automotive Oil Change Punch Card App

Did you know we offer a buy 4-get-1-free oil change reward program? Even better, if you’re one of those people who struggle to keep track of all your loyalty paper punch cards you’ll love our new green alternative, Punch that keeps tracks of your punches on your phone.


Punch is easy to use. Simply download the app (
iPhone, Android) to your smartphone. When you come in for an oil change open up the app and we’ll scan your punch. The app will keep track of your “punches” and after you have 4, we will redeem your fifth oil change for free.


If you need help, we can show you how to download Punchd when you come into the shop. One easy way is to use a scanning app that reads our QR (quick response) code. If you don’t have a scanning app we recommend 
Red Laser. This enormously popular bar code scanning application is available for iPhones and Androids. It lets you scan bar codes and QR codes, get comparable prices at nearby stores, find books in libraries, check food labels for nutrition and food allergy information, just to name a few of its many uses.


QR Code 101

Have you noticed those square boxes with the black and white geometric lines in them popping up all over the place? (You can see ours in the photo above.) They are called QR or quick response codes and are a type of bar code that is becoming more and more popular because of their fast readability.


QR codes serve a multitude of purposes. If you’ve seen someone board a plane by holding up their phone it’s because a QR code serves as their boarding pass. QR codes are being used by businesses to give information, offer discount coupons, and in our case, make it convenient to download a new app.


If you have a smart phone you can try it out right now. Open a scanning app (like Red Laser), scan our code from your computer screen and you’ll be taken to GetPunch where you can download the software for our oil change punch card.
