Clip the magnetic base into your vent, stick the included sticker to the back of your phone (or place it in the case), and you're ready to go! Just be sure to review your vents before purchasing. Anything too low down would keep your phone out of your field of vision, which isn't ideal if you're using it as a GPS.

Promising review: "One of the strongest magnets I have seen in this kind of product. Holds phone well. No complaints. I have bought several now for different cars, and when I need another one, will replace it with the same." —tshank

Promising review: "This is perfect for a mobile office or digital nomads!!!

Highly recommend!" –Deanna Holmes

Promising review: "Works great, helps to relieve some pressure from sitting. This is a great memory foam cushion for office chairs or your couch. You really can feel the difference. This is thick, and feels like it will last for a really long time. I've been using mine for a couple of weeks and already feel a little better. The cover is removable for washing, and the stitching is done really well. I recommend this to anyone who has to sit for more than a few hours." —phillygirl

Promising review: "It’s ridiculous how much I love these! The push part is on a spring so it stays closed when you aren’t pushing it, and of course it perfectly fits in the cup holder of our vehicles. Pro tip: a quart-size Ziploc is the perfect size to add as a liner and fold over the top to keep the inside clean!" —Chaos Coordinator

Get it from Amazon for $7.19+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Buy this!!! It is awesome! I love not having to touch the grungy vacuum at the car wash that has been picking up who knows what!!! This little vac works great.

You can order one for the driver's side seat or passenger's side seat.

Promising review: "I put this in last night and went to work today and everything was perfect. I did have to install the foam spacers (included) to make it a really snug fit. It would have still worked without it but I like things perfect. So now the coins go in the coin pocket and my keys and other work related accessories go in the bigger pocket. This is one of the best cheap life hacks you can get if you're a car person and/or just like being organized and neat." —R

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in two styles).

Promising review: "I purchased this one because there is no bezel that takes up space when the rear view mirror is already so small and you'll need whatever space you can get. The angle is also adjustable. Of all the ones I've purchased, this seemed to fit and look the best."—LiterOfPeter

Or try the Tile Pro if you want to extend the range from 200 feet to 400 feet.

Promising review: "I normally don't write reviews for products, but the Tile is too fantastic not to yell it from the rooftops! I am always losing my keys or my phone and with the Tile it makes it so easy to find my keys in a flash or find my phone! All you have to do is attach it to your keys and you're all set! When you misplace your keys, you go into the app on your phone (which is super user-friendly) and tap find my keys. It then rings your Tile that is attached to your keys and if they are not in an area where they can ring, it shows you the location of the tile, which is also very helpful! If you misplace your phone, you can double tap the middle button on the tile and it will ring your phone! It is such an amazing product and I am thinking about attaching them to everything in my house!!" —Brooke

Get the Tile Mate from Amazon for $19.12+.

Promising review: "Nice looking charger. The metal housing makes it feel solid, not cheap like the plastic ones. Does what it's supposed to do." —Sweetlife

Get it from Amazon for $7.61+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "This fit PERFECTLY in my car and attached snugly to the back of my center console. It's easy to reach, yet not in the way for people in backseat. The size is perfect - not too small or big. The plastic side pieces are ingenious and help it keep it's shape, making it easy to put trash in it. My daughter and I attached ours to the back of our center consoles and my husband to his back seat. We're all very happy with the purchase! I'm so impressed with the quality and thought that went into this. If you're in the market, don't hesitate to buy this." –Deb H

Promising review: "A fantastic audio cable. I was skeptical at first but the cable is highly durable and the connection from my phone to my car is solid! No static so no issues. It's very durable and I regret wasting money in the past on the cheap ones you see online and in stores. They also have a guarantee card in the box. If you aren't happy they refund it or replace. I am buying another one for my work car today!" —Christopher Britt

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

It includes first-aid supplies, a jumper cable, flashlight, screwdriver, duct tape, bungee cord, a shop cloth, six cable ties, two AA batteries, and an emergency poncho.

Promising review: "This pack came with absolutely everything needed for a good go kit on a weekend or seasonal adventure. With everything from first aid, car jumping, and a good quality light to give you a good vantage in the nighttime when jumping cars (Montana winter/spring is dark in the evenings quite quickly), this kit has helped me out personally quite a few times. For the cost of what it is, I'm surprised at the result." —Alexander

Get it from Amazon for $45.

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in six styles).

Promising review:"Amazing for the price! There are four sections total, so I did two in the front, one on either side, and then there are two under the front seats facing toward the back, so the back seats can see them also. They work great I still can't believe it for the price. Very happy." —Jeepet76

Promising review: "I work in the medical and rescue field and have to say this is a great product to have on your keychain. One of the concerns I had when buying this was the breakaway portion of the device itself but that was an unfounded fear. This is something that will save your life if you are ever trapped in your own vehicle as it will stay connected to your keys in the ignition which means that you will be able to reach it without a major issue. It will not easily detach without you pulling it off which means will be available where you want it when you need it. I have nothing negative to say about this and have bought one for my wife as well to have." —Aizrec!

Get it from Amazon for $9.84.

Promising review: "This inexpensive washable wool blanket should be in every car, truck, and RV as a “just in case” item. Be sure to wash it several times before use and tumble dry low. It will shed a lot, but makes the blanket nicer for use. I have one for my dog’s bed as she seems to like the feel of wool to lay on." —Chris J.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "I was panicked when I went to my car the other night and had a flat tire. I had no idea how to change my tire, as my husband always takes care of stuff like that. Luckily a passerby had a small tire inflator, like this one, in his car. We inflated my tire and I was able to get home safely. The next day I got on Amazon and ordered this one. I immediately tested it and it worked great. It appears to be very well-made and comes in a very nice bag that I tucked away in the back storage compartment. Hopefully, I won’t have to use it any time soon, but if I have another flat tire, this time, I’ll be prepared..." —McintireP

Get it from Amazon for $28.49+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

Comes in multiple sizes (depending on your make and model) with a money-back guarantee.

Promising review: "This is super easy to use. Open and put in in the window, can't get any easier than that. My GMC Denali sits outside in the Southeastern NC sun all day and this really made a difference. When I get into my truck I can actually sit on the leather seats without being burned. It also keeps the sun off my dash which is important down here in the Southeast. I would definitely recommend it.' —Sharon

Promising review: "I know very little about cars but I do know quite a bit about saving money. I went to get my airbag replaced this past month and they recommended I replace my cabin air filter. It was going to cost $60 and $40 for labor!! I YouTubed a tutorial and it looked so simple. I bought one on Amazon (same brand) for less than $20!!! For a 26-year-old (completely inexperienced with cars) who spent 10 minutes on YouTube and an extra 10 minutes in installation, I saved over $80!!! I probably would have had to wait at the dealer more than the 20 minutes it took me overall and would have had to pay an extra $80. No thank you!!" —Vanessa C.

Get it from Amazon for $9.97.

Promising review: "Super impressed with this product. I’m always skeptical of things like this that say they’ll perfectly fix scratches. I was worried because I randomly found three visible scratches on my front bumper. I could feel the scratch with my hand so I figured it was too deep. Well this product totally fixed it. As I was drying off the product I literally couldn’t even tell where the scratches were. Would totally recommend trying this first before anything else. Wish I took a before and after but wasn’t expecting it to be good enough for one." –Tom V Weekes

This "As Seen On TV" product even fits around your seat belts and moves with the seats if you adjust them!

Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat!" —Tessa Forbes

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $24.99.

Promising review: "My family goes on the road for numerous trips over the course of a year and last year we got a new puppy who LOVES the car. This past summer, we were about to go on a 16-hour drive and needed a solution so that he wouldn't decide to jump and startle whoever was driving. Enter this little gem. The net is a high-quality item for the price. The top-end opens so it's not just a barrier, but a typical cargo net so you get even more storage for your vehicle while adding a layer of safety." —Daigs

Get it from Amazon for $15.80 (clip the coupon on the product page to save 10%).

Promising review: "Very easy to use and gets dust out of air vents and other areas in the car that I often struggle to get. I love detailing my car and this is a must needed item now for me to get my car extra clean." —Matt Boles

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "These are the perfect size and color for my F150 cup holders. I wish they had a tab to get them out but thats just a super minor issue. No more nasty cup holders from spills or condensation – they're nice and thick, non-slip, simple to rinse off and put back if needed." –Vincent

Your dad can use his phone to pick his favorite scents (from popular brands you know) which will then emanate through the car.

Get it from Pura for $34.99.

Promising review: "Our dog Homer already enjoyed riding in the car with us but this booster seat made his ride more comfortable. He seems to like having his own place to sit or sleep where he is more secure. He will curl up and sleep in the seat if we are on the road for very long. The instructions on the pictures on Amazon were very clear and it was easy to install. It is also easy to uninstall when needed." —Angie T

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save 20%).

Promising review: "I’m extremely fussy about keeping my Ram 2500 clean — I do some type of detailing every morning before leaving for work because the truck lives outside, and there is so much dust and pollen here that there’s always a fuzzy coating on it. The Ultimate Car Duster does an amazing job of lifting the dust away while being gentle on the paint. Get the large size with extendable handle if you have a large vehicle — it’s worth it. I’ve got a collection of different brands of dusters, and the Ultimate does the best job — removes the dust instead of pushing it around." —Robert M.

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two styles).

Screen shows incoming call numbers, voltage levels in car battery, volume, FM frequency, and song name. It also supports Siri and Google Assistant so you can enjoy voice control while driving with it connected to your phone.

Promising review: "This thing saved me from playing radio stations that only know an hours' worth of songs and then repeats them. Again. And again. Depending on your area you may have to adjust the station on rare occasion, but overall, it works very well when you find a station that is empty. Very happy with this purchase." —JT JOHNSON

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in six colors).

The digital display shows the exact reading, so no guesswork involved! It has a simple push button control to turn on, and it automatically shuts off after 30 seconds to save the batteries. A soft, non-slip surface means easy, comfy gripping.

Promising review: "I have used many tire pressure devices over the years. All have been semi-awkward to use, giving unstable measures, allowing air to escape easily, and not very reliable. I am impressed by this unit; it has a light to illuminate the tire pressure valve stub (good if you are in a dark garage), but the most important aspect was that the pressure measures were stable- no multiple attempts to take the pressure was needed. I confirmed the pressure levels with a gas station that had a very expensive unit, and the values were right on. I am a very happy camper. It may cost a buck or more than the cheapest units, but very well worth it." —Dr. H.

Get it from Amazon for $9.87+ (available in two colors).

Each kit includes one precision Wipe-It infused with Wipe New solution, one professional Lens Polishing Pad, one pair of nitrile gloves, and one microfiber towel to give your headlights a streak-free finish. One application is expected to last your headlights for years!

Promising review: "I still can’t believe this product worked as well as it did. My 2012 headlights were oxidized beyond and super cloudy. I followed the directions and the results were incredible! They look brand new again!! Highly recommend. Make sure you fully remove the oxidation before applying the final cloth. This requires multiple passes with the sand paper and a sore arm afterwards, but the results are worth it!" —Casey

Promising review: "I have used every product that you can find on the shelves of your local store. When I sprayed the cleaner on the light beige interior of a 25-plus-year-old car, the interior turned to its original color. After years of detailing, I had assumed at this point, the color was set and that's it — not with this stuff. While cleaning it I literally said out loud, 'No way, no way,' because I was in disbelief at how amazing it worked, and the results are in the compliments I receive from friends." —Andrea Garcia

Promising review: "No worry about dirt, dander, or claw marks on my car anymore! Used it for several days while car traveling with my husky, and it worked perfectly. Finally found something durable to protect my car, so I can drive anywhere with my buddy. This was just what I needed, and I couldn't be happier." —kyra

Promising review: "Absolutely love this phone car mount. Incredibly secure hold not only on the dashboard, but with my phone. I like that it has an opening at the bottom so that I can run my USB charging cord to the phone when my phone is mounted. I tried the vent one, but the mount wouldn't stay in the vent. The CD kind was not an option for my car. Plus, this holder's ability to pivot 225 degrees made all the difference. I can keep it in eyesight without it taking up too much of my vision out." —crimscrem

Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (clip the coupon on the product page to save 25%; available in three versions).

Includes two washable, reversible, and reusable microfiber cleaning bonnets and a mesh storage bag. A pivoting triangular head makes it easy to adapt to curved surfaces.

Different accessories/attachments that make getting those stubborn bug stains off your windshield. I'd definitely recommend this product to family and friends." —MegaDave

Promising review: "Device fits snuggly in the charging port and has 2 USB ports leading to plenty of charging ability. My devices have charged just fine with no issues. The fact that it is low profile is nice too. Seems to be made from quality materials. Overall am happy with this little device." –R. Lieberum

Promising review: "Thankfully I have never had to use this yet, and hopefully will never have to, but this is still great. It has everything you need in it. It’s also pretty compact so it doesn’t take up a lot of space in your car. I have a small Toyota Corolla so trunk space is pretty limited and this being in there does not hinder my ability to fit a lot of stuff in my trunk. I love it!" —Amazon Customer

You must run your engine while using this. This is good for small ATV's, trucks, SUV's, and sedans with tires up to 33" in size.

Promising review: "This air pump is the real deal, it inflates really well. The only thing you need to know is you will lose a small amount of air pressure when you unscrew the connector from the valve stem. The remedy for this is to add a pound or two more air then required so when you unscrew the connector the air you lose will be compensated for. Also, the instructions tell you to start the engine before turning on the pump — this is a really good idea as this air pump draws a lot of voltage." —DWM Jr

Get it from Amazon for $76.75.

Features a comfortable, two-handle design so your arms don't get tired while using. Includes a 6 in. random orbit waxer/polisher and one foam applicator bonnet. Runs on a random orbit at 4,4000 orbits per minute.

Promising review: "For the price, this is a good option. It is good for waxing/buffing your vehicle, as long as it is a basic job. I wish I would have bought something a bit more powerful for the specific need I have, but for the price I can't complain. For the regular home use, it's perfect. Black & Decker seems to put out decent options on tools at an affordable price. They always seem to be good for the average user who doesn't use the tool for professional daily use, but rather is perfect for at home repair/maintenance jobs." —Scandaljoe

Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

It comes with a microfiber applicator!

Promising review: "I have only had to use the spray twice in a month and a half and the only reason for the second use was I put my car through an automatic car wash. If it wasn't for that I would still be on one use. My friend thought I never drive my car because the tires look brand new every time I see him. I also use it on the plastic parts on the outside of my car and it's just as amazing. Definitely buying again when I run out." —A. Glaza

It comes with straps to attach around the headrest and the back to keep it in place. There are also hooks to attach the bottom so that doesn't slide up either. It plugs directly into the cigarette lighter.

Promising review: "I was skeptical of how well this would work. It is amazing! I'd gotten into an accident recently and had a rental car with heated seats. I fell in love with them, so thought I'd see if Amazon sold seat warmers. YES! ABSOLUTELY! Chose this one after reading reviews. Excellent choice. The fabric is very soft, velour-y, and it heats up immediately, like the factory warmers. I have only had it on low and it's plenty warm. I am thrilled with this. Hope it lasts a long time!" —Molly G
