Worth, D.C., Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Nashville, Raleigh-Durham, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, St. Louis, Tampa/St. Petersburg, and Warren can subscribe to the service.

The company boasts that when you join forces with the service, you’ll be able to save $240 on gas each year, 33 hours of time (based on the time you’d normally give to car service appointments and gas station stops), and three trees.
