Garage App Social

I downloaded the app after hearing about it on instagram thinking it might be a good way to explore some different scenes in the community. Unfortunately this is not the place to find cool events because this app is merely a money grab. There are plenty of places to find car meets without having to pay $50 per year. I am aware that there are other functions to the app but as far as the route sharing goes that is something you can just as easily do by looking at a map. Moral of the story is that you don’t need to pay to see cool cars and be in the community. This is not why car culture exists. The whole purpose of the community is to support people and make them feel welcomed so that we can project a better image to other motorists and people.

I got this expecting there to be some type of thing i have to buy to use all the features thats expected with apps like this. But to even have a account on here and use the app you have to buy their membership when this is supposed to be about bringing the car community together and make it easier to meet other car enthusiasts but instead you trying to take our money when these meets are free and already posted somewhere for free. This app is a money grab and whoever made this app is an embarrassment to the car community just tryna make some money of everyone instead of bringing them together. Maybe make a free version or no subscription needed. No one wants to pay to see a free car meet that was already posted on instagram for free ten times.

Guys, I know it’s 2026 and everything is a hustle, but locking your whole experience behind a paywall is not the move. At minimum give a free plan that has ads. I’m not paying $50/yr to find events that are not always free themselves. The $50/yr MIGHT be worth it if the application membership could grant access to paid events, but even then it’s a stretch. Many passionate community-driven car guys (and gals) are broke already given the expensive nature of this hobby. We don’t need another expense here. Do better.
