Review summary

Garage App Social is praised for helping automotive enthusiasts connect, locate local car shows and meets, and coordinate with others through groups and events. Users appreciate its ease of use and social features. However, onboarding friction—sign-in and account creation problems—repeatedly hinders first-time use. Some reviews also mention messaging-related bugs and occasional instability. Overall, the app shows strong community-building potential but needs fixes to onboarding flow and chat reliability to reach broader adoption.

Pros

Connect with other car enthusiasts and make new friends.
Find car shows, drives, and meetups in your area and across brands.
Easy to use with strong functionality for organizing groups and events.

Cons

Onboarding issues: sign-in and account creation problems (year field validation error and inability to create an account).

2026-08-20	Ru*****	Download this app after seeing a post on instagram only to be severely disappointed. I go through the process of creating an account, adding my car and its details. Only to be hit with a “if you want to use this app you have to pay”.

2026-08-17	12*****	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.

2026-08-12	Fr*****	Trash! First they make you sign in with all sorts of information then they try to charge you a fee just to see if they’re any events around🤦🏽‍♂️

2026-08-08	Р5*****	The registration process is complicated and stupid, and at the end, they issue an invoice without even letting you explore the features and capabilities.

2026-07-30	Gr*****	One of the worst experiences when onboarding when I first got on the app. I then tried to pay for the free trial and for some reason payment via Apple Pay and even card information would not work

2026-07-30	Mh*****	I understand it’s a free to download app, but the fact you have to pay to even see a “feed”….. that’s just straight up buns. Was going to use this for when I go down to the south over the winter but immediately deleted my account and I’ll just use Facebook and other apps. Waste of time. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

2026-07-26	an*****	Why require a user to signup and waste our time and end up needing to pay or risk getting a trial. I anonymous (no signup required) free preview would be great. Why would we want to pay or risk forgetting to cancel subscription for something we don’t get a quick preview of… give us a preview of your app’s capability before forcing us on getting a trial

2026-07-25	la*****	The app is great. You can share routes and post and it has a navigation feature, but it would be better if they had option where people could post pictures of the or show the street view of the route too. I get that they don’t want to give a bad experience but a ad version would be give a option for people who don’t want to pay, but also if you have a few bucks laying around and you’re willing to pay its worth it for any person who’s a car enthusiasts.

2026-07-22	Ro*****	It’s a money grab. Can’t even look at the app without making an account and giving them money. It’d be one thing if a yearly subscription was 10-20 bucks but at 50 it’s just a joke. It’s a shame because an app like this would greatly improve the car community, it can be so difficult to find meets these days but it’s not impossible if you’re willing to spend an hour on instagram and facebook. You say you charge so much because you want to make the app a good experience but it looks like it was made with chatgpt.
