#2It appears to be (quite literally) impossible to determine which areas they cover without signing up for an account.

#3Remove the apostrophe from "tip's". It may well be that you meant "tip is included", but it could also be interpreted as poor grammar.

It's also impossible to determine which areas they cover after signing up for an account. I've gone through the process right up to the credit card form and there's no indication that any less than the entire US is covered. There's no information about coverage on their Zendesk either.
A November article about the startup's launch mentions 20 washers hired in San Francisco. The fact that the website lets me order (and presumably pay) a car wash in Pennsylvania is strange. Why have a state dropdown if you only serve one state?

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.

#6Interesting to me that they were able to get that domain name, being such a small outfit.
Particularly, I would have thought there'd be porn or some other domain-specific thing that would have grabbed that up and held it.

It's not?

Unfortunately, the Wayback Machine http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.cherry.com/ is down right now, because I had the same thought and was wondering who used to operate the domain.
Was surprised it wasn't the keyboard people, to be honest. (It turns out that they live at http://www.cherrycorp.com/)

#9I love the idea ("Uber for carwashing!") but I have some doubts.
The price point is too low for me to believe they'll do a decent job. There are already mobile car detailers here in Portland, and a good exterior detail costs around $100. That's because the companies are licensed and bonded. If I'm going to go cheap on a car wash, I'll do a $6 drive-through special at Washman on my way to the grocery store.
Not knowing the coverage area before signing up is a problem for me as well. My email address and phone number are private - I'm not giving them up until a company gives me something in return.

"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?
