This was my late grandpa's favorite car wash. I have lovely memories of him getting me to drive him here so he could treat me to a car wash. I'm not a fan of coin-operated places so when I found out they take debit/credit now, I was excited to come back to a place filled with such fond memories. I took my time and used several different things and still only spent about $10. So it's waay cheaper than hands-free places, and you get a more quality wash. I would probably only use a hands-free place again in winter to get a thorough undercarriage rinse to get the salt off. Otherwise, I'll be coming here! I recommend it. Oh, and they have vacuums out back too. I wish they lasted a little longer, but it's probably industry standard. Managed to do a thorough job of my front floors before it ran out, and that was the worst of it anyway, so I'm not too disappointed. Cost $2.
Been visiting this car wash for a few years now, and have always been happy that it doesn't get as busy as others in the area. However, I'm now driving a newer vehicle, so I'm paying closer attention to how clean the car actually is, and I'm disappointed. As others have mentioned, the water pressure (and temperature) can be hit and miss, but my biggest gripe is about the "soft water". As in, how can they call it that? I prefer not to towel dry my car and I ALWAYS have the worst hard water spots after washing here. Yet, when I wash at 2 other car washes near by, the car dries without a spot. For this reason, I won't be visiting College Car Wash anymore. But if you're simply looking for a quick, non-busy, cheap way to hose off some road grime, it'll do you just fine.
Writing this review on behalf of my husband who frequents this car wash as it is close to his work. Half the time the coin operated machine spits out his loonies that came from their own change machine. There doesn't seem to be anyone there that washes down the wash bays that are full of mud/debris. This makes it tough when you are trying to wash your own vehicle only to find the whole area extremely dirty. Once you back out of the bay to exit your tires are covered in mud and it gets splashed on to your car once you drive away. Some other car washes have someone constantly rinsing off the bays to ensure its clean for the next customer.
I am very picky about DIY car washes. I expect them to be clean with everything working properly. I don't like to see water wasted with dripping hoses, and I expect to have a clean car with a rinse, foam brush, etc. without constantly feeding the machine money. This is the perfect place to wash your car. It's striking how clean this place is every time I have been there. And, the older couple who run the place are the reason I keep coming back as well. They are kind, helpful and eager...I miss that kind of customer service. Definitely worth your car wash, time and money!
This was my favorite car wash until they decided to increase profits by cutting back on soap. I washed my car twice and it still wasn't clean. I've been going there for years and I've never had to wash it twice. When I commented to the owner that there wasn't enough soap he told me I didn't know how to wash my car. I haven't been back since.
April 20-2020. I took my two quads and pick up for a wash. The worker there started giving my a hard time after I finished washing my pickup..He said it will take him too long to clean the floor. Dude. I just spent over $100 on car wash at your place. And its a car wash and i did exactly just that. Didn't even dump any garbage there.
Washed my car using my credit card, and got overcharged. My car wash was supposed to be $8 and I got charged $20. Their system was also messed up and kept putting out soap when I was trying to rinse. Got a terrible wash that costed me more to do it myself than to go to a drive through car wash, pretty annoying! Won’t be coming back.
This place gets the job done if you're into self washing your vehicle, as I am. It has an RV bay that could likey fit a transport truck and trailer. I do not much care for the push button selector panel, I found it mildly confusing, and sometimes difficult to locate the coin receptor, but thats just being nit-pickey.
Unfortunately this place has gone down hill. Used to have great pressure and high quality spray soap and foam brush. Not the case anymore. Vacuums outside will take your money, but that’s about it. None of them have enough vacuum to pick up even the smallest crumbs from your seats.
Awesome car wash that is rarely too busy. Run by an older couple who are great, always there to help out if needed. They just got new card machines which are super accurate with payment and you don’t get overcharged a cent. 10/10 would recommend. Great spot for a quick car wash.
Got charged fifteen dollars for a car washing session that was about three minutes in duration (used my credit card). The pricing was not made clear at all. The fifteen dollar charge was a bit of a slap in the face when I'm used to paying about a third of that anywhere else.
I'm a frequent user of this car wash but not anymore. They overcharged me for a car wash that was supposed to cost $6 but ended up cost me $30. I went to address the issue and they were no help at all, said too bad. Don't waste your time here, customer service was horrible.
Quick, simple l self service wash! Price is fair but not crazy cheap. This is my go to place to wash the truck. Just wish they had a way to make it easier to wash the underside of the vehicle. Maybe a ramp or a set of steps to walk under. I’ll still keep coming here though
It is a place I go fairly often, with hot water to clean the cars, coins and credit cards operation. Down side, the place is getting old and when more busy than average the soap tends to run out leaving the car unclean or needing s lot more time or $$$ to do a good job
Don't think I will ever go here again. Just witnessed a very aggressive owner towards a girl. I would have called the cops as soon as the owner punched her van. Looked like she was being ganged up on, yelling in her face. Not professional!
Easy to use self car wash. $2 to start , foam brush. High pressure water , also can spray soap. Finish with protection rinse and light water . MAtt holders . Also have a change machine and vacuums The owners are very nice to, and helpful.
I have been to this car wash many times it is great. However, today as two hail storms passed and we were trying to find a safe place to pull over we ended up in the car wash. The owner is an amazing lady who ushered as many cars as she
As a U-Haul dealer?? HORRIBLE incompetent. Wouldn't do credit card ,requested cash. Very unprofessional. Do not use, as he uses his wash as a geriatric center for his parents too ,Sad place UHAUL ,*check him out if he's wanting cash*
Usually a decent car wash, though it is falling apart. Today however I pulled into one stall and the pressure would only last for a few seconds before turning to barely a trickle. Wasted $4 and nobody was around for assistance.
I'm a big fan of a car wash that only has one lineup for multiple bays - no having to guess which line will go faster. The cost for time was as good or better than other car washes. Overall a positive experience!
Nice spot - easy access from Richmond Road - 37 St. SW - close to Glenmore Trail - good hot water - lots of room to detail outside after. Great Korean family run business - with grandma & grandpa leading the way.
Just washed my car at this car wash, first time tapping my card the machine did nothing, so I tapped again and when I checked my bank statement I had double charges, seems to be a common theme at this location.
Pretty good for a self serve car wash. The machines are easy to use and with the option you need to wash your car. The space and layout of the car wash is good and open. When I went there no wait.
There are a few car washes around and this might be one of the cheapest ones around. Also it remains pretty low key so its not as busy as the one on Richmond road near the safeway.
Unfortunately they have no bug wash doesn’t really help in the summertime! Also, I’m not really sure why you guys have a phone number nobody ever answers the phone! Get bug wash!
Been going there since forever. There is always an attendant handy keeping things clean and operational and also to help those that need a bit of backing in or out
I like this car wash + not usually lined up, service staff are friendly and helpful, rates are in line with other car washes in town. Will be back, for sure.
Like it because it's out of the way....a bit.....hardly any lineup's..... Great place.... Could use warmer water as well...... More soap too..... …
Lacking maintenance. 2 of the wash bay’s credit card payments were not working and the exit door took 2 tries from everyone for it to open.
Not always clean, wash brush not scratch pruff, be carfull to spray them first. Times very between stalls. All in not bad, bunt great.
They are such great owners! Always ready to help if you require change or machine issues. Been going here for many years! …
Clean and conveniently located near Mount Royal University. Car wash performs great with good pressure capability.Worth a visit
Terrible operation, the older woman was extremely rude and short tempered while using vile language as I was about to leave.
Not a fan. Maintenance is low. It work's in a pinch for a quick and easy, wouldn't recommend a full foam brush wash though.
Each station is separated from others which makes it much easier to wash your car without being worry to set someone else
Excellent spray car wash place. Lots of tall/long stalls. Reasonable price per cycle. The machines take coins or cards.
It's a wand car wash. Not much to say about it other than you can pay with a credit card which is convenient.
Love this place! Great smell, great owners, great soap! Give your vehicle a wash and come see for yourself!
I guess with inflation 2 bucks barley does anything anymore but common can't even soap my ride or vacuum it
The family that runs this place keeps it clean. It's prices are competitive and the lines are usually short
Best car wash in the area. Rarely lined up and well priced. Convenient on the way into town from the West.
How do I give zero stars ?! Most ignorant unprofessional owners I've ever met . Wow . Lost for words .
Absolutely amazing very hot water and the people who own this car wash are very very kind …
Well maintained and not as busy as other car washes. I have used this car wash many times.
The owners of this car wash are polite and kind. They care about offering good service.
A good place to wash your car, 2$ for 2 mins. 6$ is enough to finish a good car wash.
Today, I was charged $20 in my credit card for 4mins rinsed out of dirt in my car
Cost was a buck per minute, water was warm and they have full time attendants.
Good! I like that they have updated the card machine right in the bays!
Warm water. Reasonble prices. $4.00 to do a thorough wash of my car.
Terrible owner that runs U-Haul. Wants cash. Not a card. DO NOT USE
Nice and clean Car wash. Decent pice for washing a full size van.
2020 all Alberta car wash start 3 dollars and 3 minutes maximum
The only accept credit cards, that's why l have them two stars
Small car wash but the attendant was amazing!! Made my day!
Love this car wash! The couple that runs it are so sweet!
