First car wash place I have ever had an issue with! If you open a wash you should not get to pick and choose what vehicles are okay to enter. Ive always been respectful of business owners because I am one however when a business has a policy to turn away customers based on how dirty or clean a vehicle is they need to go do something else! Ive been going here for a while until the other day when a woman that works there comes running out arms waving to tell me I cant wash a dusty side by side at their wash. It wasnt even that dirty!! Not to mention when I do wash something dirty I clean the bay afterwards! She tells me they havent accepted OHVs for 2 years yet everyone and every time prior to this visit the staff never had an issue at at!! You would think that since I spend 2-4 X what the average customer would spend every time I bring a truck, trailer, and bike or side by side in that they would want my business but noooo! Thats fine Ill take my 5 vehicles, 6 bikes, side by side elsewhere and let all my friends know about the lack of interest in business these people have. Oh and since they also own the bottle depot we will be boycotting that place as well. I guess Canadian values mean nothing here. I suggest if anyone wants a good wash experience that they review their options! One star!! Only because I cant give them zero!!

They have a card system that works great. Load it up at the till and never deal with change. The carwash is awesome for the price. I can give my truck a quick wash for under $5. I worked in a detail shop for a few years and still enjoy scrubbing a vehicle. Love the foam brush as my white truck absolutely needs it to get clean. Touch-less doesnt do the trick. Docking 1 star for now, because I cant for the life of me figure out a decent way to dry my vehicle. Not a huge deal, and no problem in summer, as the spot free rinse works great. But the past few - 20C weeks have resulted in some icy doors. If someone has a system other then hand drying, Ill give the 5th star.

Not my first choice for a coin operated car wash in northwest calgary for sure. Often ridiculously busy and has a horrible layout that leaves customers waiting while there are empty wash bays available. Jet pressure is extremely weak and hardly any soap for both foam brush and spray soap. Timer is very short and it doesnt display time remaining before you need to put another coin in. The only reason why I even go back to this place at all is because its so close to home, other than that I definitely would not recommend if you want a thorough car wash. Try big bucket in crowfoot or even the car wash in brentwood.

-1 star. I went to this car wash on a Friday evening and it was quite busy. I got in and quickly rinsed my car off to get rid of all the salt, altogether $3. I used my credit card, for the reason that you had to spend either $2 or $4, there was no in between. A twoonie each time. Went over my credit card bill and noticed they charged me $10. That is....more than 3 times the amount I spent. Wow! How much extra money are they making off of people that use their credit cards! Please be careful and check your statements, as there is a forum online about this location charging extra on peoples credit cards....

Location is nice if youre in one of the surrounding communities.. but thats about it. Been going here for a while and dont know why I always bother going back. You might as well be washing your vehicle with warm water. The chemicals seem so watered down, and I always seem to leave with a dirty truck regardless of how much I spray it off and clean it. The floors are always gritty and muddy too. After going to a place like Top Gear Car Wash it makes it hard to justify going back here.

Greedy thief of a owner! By far the shortest time for a toonie in all of Calgary! Normally you can put a loonie in during your the first toonie time and get more time... not here. It just ate my loonie and the wash stopped. I put another loonie in but you need a toonie to start it, thus another loonie stolen. And nobody in the wash office. Left angry with half my car soapy. Never using this carwash again.

Two row file system so you wait for the vehicle in front before youre able to exit. The payment method is increments of 2$. You must pay 2$ to activate the wand and you must pay an additional 2$ to continue. The chemical concentration and wand power are less than other washes and the duration of the time payed for seems shorter than other places.

Richard Ferguson

The bays service two vehicles at a time, so you have to wait for both bays to clear before you can enter to wash your vehicle. The wands are flexible and facilitate getting the salt out from the wheel wells and other hard to reach places. It only cost me $4 to wash my truck. Much better than the Crowfoot Big Bucket Car Wash.

Use the truck bays to clean my RV. Good value and didnt have a problem with the pressure, nor did I have to wait too long. The trick is not to go in the middle of Sunday afternoon. Get there early and there is no waiting. Like that there is an attendant on staff.

Heres an update on the charges on Visa... Visa charges a fixed pre-approved amount then adjusts it once the actual charge has been submitted by the car wash. If you check your statement in will show the adjusted amount a day or two after.

Glen Arseneau

The guy that runs it was very friendly and personable. Had a good little chat and show familiarized me with their system. I would say it was just a tad more expensive than Im used to paying to wash the same vehicle.

Chris Terry

I think this car wash is average. Big Bucket in Crowfoot is way too expensive. I find Spy hill, as long as they are maintaining their equipment, it works well and they give you a fair amount of time for your money.

I put a $10 bill into the change machine and received $9 back also put my coins into the carwash and it didnt start. There was no one at reception to fix the problem.

Christopher Hurkens

Only car wash Ive seen without a visible count down timer, and wouldnt take less than $2 once time ran out (no top ups). Otherwise it was great. Nice facility.

Usually busy. I wish the timer beeped so you knew when the time was running out. Because once your time runs out you have to start over with $2 again.

Tabrays Nawab

Good place to get your vehicles washed for relatively cheap. $2 to kickoff the washing and $1 to keep going. Timer does run out fairly quickly.

Richard Yuen

Another -1 rating here. The machine displayed $3 spent, but my credit card was charged $9.95 do not go here. Its a pure rip off.

DM Harvey

Longer wash cycle than some others. Pretty busy all times. Can do car wash and bottles right beside one another.

Rex Perchard

Water here seems dirty. If you dont dry off immediately it dries spotty and streaky.
