LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yoshi, which provides the most widely used subscription service for on-site car maintenance and gas delivery, announced today that it has significantly expanded its Los Angeles service area due to explosive demand for its service from consumers and businesses.
Originally in Downey, Inglewood and Downtown LA, Yoshi is also now serving the Pasadena, Santa Monica, Burbank, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and West Hollywood areas – more than doubling its service area. The company has expanded its local truck fleet in order to handle increasing customer volume in LA.
Yoshi delivers gas, oil changes, car washes, and other car maintenance services directly to customers’ cars while they are parked, eliminating the need to stop for gas or track and schedule routine maintenance. Prices are competitive, and Yoshi’s service is a favorite of many daily commuters across the country - in addition to Los Angeles, and the service is currently operating in the San Francisco Bay Area, Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Cleveland, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Nashville, St. Louis and Tampa/St. Petersburg.
“Yoshi has been really popular in LA because there is such a high volume of car commuters and traffic is a challenge, so people want to avoid additional stops at the service station,” said Yoshi CEO Nick Alexander. “We are seeing rapid growth in demand for Yoshi service here, and great reviews from customers. We’re excited to expand our coverage here in LA so more people can experience the convenience of on-site car maintenance.”
Yoshi offers service to individual car owners in LA and many LA-area employers are offering Yoshi subscriptions to their employees as a benefit.
“I’m so happy I found Yoshi- it’s so easy to book,” said Carter B. of Los Angeles. “I get immediate customer service via text, and they are always on time and professional. Thanks to the AAA gas prices I actually end up saving not only time, but also money. I really love the additional service options too and the fact that I never have to go to the gas station again.”
Earlier this year, General Motors Ventures and ExxonMobil led a $13.7M Series A round of funding for Yoshi, which is using the funds to accelerate geographic expansion. To learn more about Yoshi’s services, visit https://www.startyoshi.com/.
