Reviews of Royal Oak Self Service Car Wash (Car Wash)

Ryan Lockhart

I go here to wash my work vans because there is lots of height. Lots of space to move around in each individual stall and it's nice to do things yourself sometimes. I have never had any of the equipment not work properly for me so overall very happy. Thanks for having a place like this!

Love this place! It's the only self serve wash I've come across and I've been going there for quite a while now. I don't like using the brushes on my car, so I go at night when it isn't busy and do a bucket wash. Lots of wash bays available and I've never had to wait in line here.

11 wash bays and 6 vacuum, 24 Hrs. able to wash high roof deluxe vans.

Outdoors, with a high roof! This means you can take your RV or 5 tonne truck there and wash it. It's self serve and runs on tokens, so you need to either bring cash or a credit card to buy tokens. No atm here. Water pressure is great and the vacuums really suck. In a good way!

Josh Manalo

Their machine STEALS your money. They also don’t have any staff present so you can’t get any tokens or money back. When you call, they will say their attendant is 20 min away which means you either wait for close to half an hour to get a few bucks back or you just let it go. Very cheeky way of doing business.

Super dangerous at this time, it is all iced up and packed. Go at your own risk. Would not recommend.

Daniel Mudge

Great place to clean and wash my car i have only been here once but it was not that expensive and they had everything I needed a vacuum and a pressure washer with options for spraying the car down and getting it shiny it was worth it I give it 4 stars for convenience and pricing!

I like this place and have been going here a long time. Only negative thing is that the machine for debit or credit card never works properly. Always says authorizing but not completing. I have tried three cards. Good thing I had cash handy

Ryan Karlzen

Coin operated wand wash service. Pretty old establishment but its the only one in Vancouver area and it does a pretty decent job. Pressure is good but wont blast your paint off.

Anita P

Good place to hand wash your car. Cost is $2 a token. I can't remember the time per token but I used 3 tokens to wash my car.

DIY IS FUN~

Found this place to be really good, came here at like 2AM cause didn't want to feel rushed in case it was busy. It was empty so I took my time cleaning my car fully with the wand and brush then pulled aside to make sure I wouldn't be taking up a spot and fully hand dried and waxed the outside then wiped down the interior with the wipes from their machines. Definitely recommend. There were a few other people who came and washed their cars whole I was there too, it's all litten up excellently at night too.

As the name suggests it is self car wash station. It has many spots. You ve to buy tokens from a vending macineEach token cost $2. You can get 3 tokens at one time. Which you can use for rinse , soap , wash or vaccum. There is an assistant also present incase you need help.

Tony Wong

Been here 3 times, soak, soap, rince, wax routine. Looks great when still wet, but once dried the car was peppered with water mark. Looks like the recycled water system is really dirty. I had to go home and hand wipe those mud spots off the car all over with a damp cloth, so I wasn't really saving any effort by using this service.

David Malloy

Last of the coin car washes, good amount of time for the money and it is usually kept clean.

Ken Gardner

A good, old-fashioned, self-service car wash. The water pressure and vacuum suction are good. The tokens confused me at first because they look almost exactly like Loonies.

Jerome Tovillo

For the price of the tokens should at least get 4 mins per token to use. But do like the 24/7 availability.

Igor Fil

The only DIY car wash in the area, so it is already unbeatable! I have been washing my car exclusively there for last 5 years. The car wash is always well-maintained. The price is reasonable and the water is warm in winter! The only thing I with is for a foamier foam. Hope owners can improve it in future.

ANewPaul

Decent place for a wash. It's 2$ at the minimum for 1 token. That lasts 3 minutes for a wash, or two minute vaccuum. You'll find yourself spending at least 6$ to get your car cleaned and vacuumed. If you do not have change be prepared to ask strangers for change as they only accept Visa, 1/2$ coins.

Marissa Squakin

A lot of wash stations, generally clean area, vacuums as well. Token machines take cash & credit.

Edward Pickett

Could use more pressure and soap on the spray gun. Clean and reasonable prices.

John Bruce King

Great value and great wash.

rafael sanson

A good place to take the car for a really good wash. You can take as many time as you like to get those deep stains out.

Ross Judge

I liked the place ???? Lots of spots, and they were clean. I have a big camper style van with roof box and kayak on top. I wasn't trying to rush and it cost me $10. 5 tokens - 1 to spray the vehicle with soap and 2 tokens for soapy brush and 2 tokens for good rinse. I'll Be Back ????

Adnan Akkılıç

If u use credit card, it will automatically charge $6 for 3 tokens. Good place to clean ur car.

Manish Gonsalves

The token machine doesn't accept cards most of the time. Carry cash always. Vacuum machine made all the right noises but didn't provide any suction. An "out of order" would have saved me and others after me a token. The actual wash station worked as expected.

Raul H

A little run down, but great place still. Amazing drive up and a great time all around.

nhi hoang

An old fashioned coin operated car cleaning place. I had fun! Would come back again

Jeremy Butler

Great self service location, kept clean and safe by the owner/staff. I've been here several times and have always found the vacuum's strong enough to lift most dog hair out of carpets/seats. Wash stations are also what you'd expect and work well.

Greta Brunner

Very good. Lots of bays, quiet, token time gets the job done.

B Pham

Love coming here and have been for years. In the summer, I typically come once or twice a week just to do a quick rinse and towel dry. Other times, I spend the $20ish to power wash my mats, go through all options and finish with a vacuum. Can the owners or anyone tell me what the PSI on the pressure washer is?

Benjamin Chen

Guys please give this place a 5 stars as it is probably the last and only legit self service car wash in Vancouver. I just moved back from AB and realized how scarce they are in here. Please keep this business running so the car enthusiasts can wash cars properly. It would be a plus if they can use warmer and more soapy water but it is already a bless for it's existence :). Keep it up!

William Carter

The price is the best that I have encountered two tokens Washed my car soap and rinse. And one tokens up vacuum. Very satisfied with the service.i will go there all the time now.

AK KA (The Gold Man)

Great place but always busy..........cheap, I wash my car for under $6.00

Nobu Taka

My first kiosk's sprayer's hose had a hole so I got drenched while my car barely washed. Left a message for the owners but they obviously don't care about making repairs, putting up any warning signs nor to attend to customers. Thus "Use at your own risk." You never know what is coming out the hose and should anything go wrong, don't expect the owners to do anything about it.

Da Wanderer

The only DIY car wash in the area. We always don't have to wait for our turn. It's pretty old but still very popular in the bussiness.

Kaede Ai

not busy able to wash my car fast

Ashish Ashish

Recommended to everyone for the best Car wash. They’ve got enough bays, vacuum, carpet shampoo cleaners, fragrance. 100% going back there.

Moises Schini

1 token cost 2 dollars and it gives you 3.5 minutes of water/soap spray. I have tried other places thar offers 6 minutes of spray with much better water pressure. It’s impossible to wash a car with only one token. I used 3 tokens and I got an “ok” wash. They accept credit card, loonies and toonies. It’s 24/7 and there are 11 car spots, so it’s always available.

Hesameddin Malekabhari

A good place to wash your car????????????

Matt Joubert

Gets the job done. This place is my go-to. Great value.

Anh Nguyen

Just wanted to say that this car wash deserves all the praise it gets. I'm visiting from out of the province, and needed a good wash for my truck. I got $6 worth of tokens and still had lots of time to spare. Good value and the hose has good pressure as well.

Hajoong Jeong

Great place to self carwash. I always go there at night so it's pretty empty. Hoping to know if I can bring my own snow foam gun to attach to the pressure washer to use it.

Tyler Ritchie

Great car wash. I think the only self serve near Vancouver

William Chelsea

Debit card did not work, no hot water, very little to no soap and low water pressure. No office.

Dorsa Liaghat

Token machines to wash your car. You can add extra washing features based on your token purchase. Large area, since it’s open 24/7, you can always find a time to avoid line-up. I bring my car around 8pm and there is no line up. It is completely outdoor and may get windy. Definitely recommend dressing comfy and warm.

John Bristowe

Good spray and wash. Good soapy brush. Good rinse and great wax. Vacume and other amenities there.

S Phelan

Open 24/7, 13 stalls including RV and large truck, high pressure water. Changing from soap to rinse had fast response. Used 4 tokens at $2 each. Visited at 3am no problem at all. Wish they had a foam spray instead of or including foam brush.

Gurminder Gill

Pefect place to wash your car in Vancouver Area, Best location (Just across Royal Oak Skytrain station). They got enough bays and vacuum and fragrance for your car. Reasonable prices.

Jiko Lee

I highly recommended them. I would like to give them 100 stars but here is only 5 :))). I'm with the Self Service Car Wash for 4 years plust and i had received always satisfied service. They always considering me with the price and service, always i have some extra service. Their all staff are highly professional, smart, and excellent communication. They always take care about my car, they always recheck my oil, lubricate, etc without asking.
