Why I Am Loving Zubie ... & Why I Think You Will, Too!

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



Remember before Christmas how I told you about this cool new device we were getting to help us monitor our teen drivier and keep our vehicle at optimum performance?  Well, we got all signed up with Zubie and have been using it for a little while now so I wanted to give y'all a little update.  The Zubie key you see Sydney holding in that photo is easy to install and register -- just download the app, give them a little bit of info about your car, plug in the key, and start driving.  {The instructions in the package make the process a breeze.}

You can adjust the settings to tell you what kinds of alerts you want to receive.  My favorite is the My Places tab.  I entered several locations that we travel to on a regular basis -- the high school, the church, friends' houses, and my husband's workplace.  When the car arrives at one of those locations, I get a little message on my iPhone so I know that they are safe and sound.  That will be especially nice when Miss Sydney begins driving solo in a few months, but it is also nice to know that Brent is safe at work every morning!



Another thing I love about having Zubie service is being able to see where my car is on a map at any time.  A few weeks ago I took a nap on a Saturday afternoon.  When I woke up I was all alone in the house.  That is the weirdest feeling!  I was grateful that my family had let me sleep, but I didn't know where they had gone without me.  I could have sent my husband a "Where R U" text, but if he was driving he couldn't respond right away and I'm never sure if he has his phone with him or not. Instead, I pulled up my Zubie app and saw that the car was at the library.  Easy cheesy.  No need to worry!

My husband's favorite feature of Zubie's service is the engine diagnostics.  I mentioned in my first post that neither of us are mechanically inclined so it is really nice to be able to see that everything is working as it should be -- or not, so we can get it fixed!  If we do happen to need repairs, Zubie will even tell us how serious the problem is and what we can expect to pay.  Unbelievable!




We are super excited to keep using Zubie and figure out some more of the cool things that it does and see how it will help us as a family.  Now is a great time for you to get in on the action as well.  Have a Zubie New Year!  order today with code SAVE20JANand SAVE 20% on one year of Zubie always-connected car service and a free Zubie Key. {Offer good through February 28, 2013.
