So here's my take on ShiftLock. I've tested a bunch of towing apps and this one's definitely one of the better ones. The database of vehicle info is pretty comprehensive, and the step-by-step instructions are super useful. Saves a ton of time compared to hunting around the car. The free updates are a nice touch too. On the downside, the UI could be a bit more intuitive, and sometimes the instructions aren't as clear as they could be. But overall, it's a really handy tool if you're a towing professional. Recommended if you need to get cars into neutral quickly.

Description

Been using ShiftLock for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that helps tow truck drivers figure out how to get cars into neutral for towing. There’s a ton of info on different vehicle models and where to find the shift lock release – could be a button, lanyard, or pull tab. Pretty solid app if you’re a towing professional.

Here’s what you do: you look up a vehicle make and model, and it’ll show you the exact location and steps to release the shift lock. There’s also free updates pushed to the app, so the info is always current. And if you’re working on an unfamiliar vehicle, the step-by-step instructions are really handy.

Look, if you’re a tow truck driver, you’ll probably love this app. It’s not perfect – sometimes the info isn’t super clear – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you need a quick reference for getting cars into neutral.

It needs to be updated. I would have given it a 5 stars but it's missing alot of new vehicles
