Not that "tip's" is a valid abbreviation for "tip is," anyhow. EDIT: Sorry. Don't know what I was thinking. I will refrain from deleting this comment so as to not leave future readers wondering about replies, but I would appreciate if it's not up- or down-voted any longer.
" Just $29 per wash, tip is included " isn't great wording, certainly, but is there anything wrong with saying "tip's"? I mean, certainly it's not formal, but then neither are pretty much all contractions in English. "Your tip's included in the bill" would sound fine, no?

#12At least in the state where I live, there are regulations that require car wash locations to recycle the runoff water. I don't see how this would be possible with this model.

Is "is" even required? "Just $29 per wash, tip included"

#14I like the idea, but I wonder why most US service owners seem to assume that all their website visitors are from the US. I tried looking in the "Help" and "Terms" sections, but after ~3 minutes of searching I can't confirm that the service is available only within the US... I'm pretty sure it is, but would have liked to know without having to read all the fine print, especially since it says "park anywhere".

#17It's amazing how the obvious in some countries is, sometimes, a novelty in others. Another example: I found out a couple of months ago that, in Chile, there's simply NO ONE offering lockers on beaches. Meaning you have to drive to the place and leave your stuff in the car, or simply not take a wallet/cellphone/etc when you're out to surf...

#18Also, more insight regarding the materials your service utilizes (ie soaps, brushes, mits, wax, compound - if any, etc) would be great. If this is on the site already, I apologize, I did not register nor did I really dig around (Maybe I wanted to know a bit more to justify my time spent registering).
People dish out serious amounts to pamper their automobiles. Some take this very seriously and can be critical of the process.
Once established, there is plenty of room to both deepen and widen the product offering here - premium services: compound treatment for swirl marks, waxing, 3m clear bra, paintless dent removal, and so on.
I'm assuming you may be trying to create a labor network of sorts and started with basic car washes. Either way, I believe there is a market here, more details on the execution would be great.
*Provided these are hand washes and you're targeting a middle-upper class market, the price point is actually perfect. In my area (NY) I pay ~$30 for a hand wash, and I have to bring it in. I will not bring my car to a regular car wash, even so called "brushless" as they are terrible for your paint. If you're targeting the general public, it may be a bit high.
Given the whole, "we come to you", makes me think of washing the car in the office parking lot, which could indicate a White Collar demographic. I also see homes, but personally I'd just do it myself if I had a house and driveway.
One more question, how do you handle water at an office building?

#20While there is a claim in there about ecofriendly solvents and methods being used, I am somewhat skeptical and concerned about the potential ecological damage and waste of water. At least in the state where I live, there are regulations that require car wash locations to recycle the runoff water. I don't see how this would be possible with this model.
