What is the Importance of a Car App? 

In-vehicle apps help you make the most of your drive by letting you control your vehicle virtually with a simple touch of a button from anywhere. Their secure, easy-to-navigate, and intuitive user interface makes your life easier and your drives more comfortable. Many new cars from brands like GMC, Chevrolet and Buick now come with their respective mobile apps — myGMC, myChevrolet and myBuick — allowing you to always be in the driver’s seat even when you’re not in your vehicle. For many newer GM vehicles, you also have the OnStar Basic Plan or any paid OnStar service plan, which offers enhanced safety, entertainment, and driver-assistance features. Read on to learn more about the benefits of in-vehicle apps and how they make your life easier with our Budds’ Chevrolet Buick GMC experts.
