Reviews of Skogie's Express Tunnel Wash (Car Wash)

Nikki Marshall

The staff are always very friendly and I always leave with a spotless car. I highly recommend doing the monthly subscription.

Selena S

Clean and quiet

Halina J. Beaulieu

Great car wash, quick service.

sid skerritt

always a good experience at Skogies

Chewy Benito

It's alright. Cost more but you get to go through a tunnel. Very rushed system didn't seem like the ride was that long. Would've got 5 stars but their was still soap on my passenger door.

Owl OfAKind

Competitive pricing for what you get.

Karen Mason

Young woman at the car wash just told us to take our dirty truck elsewhere next time because it was too dirty. She actually said next time we should hose it off first...???? Poor communication or customer service fail?

Marcel Zwilling

Love this place ..quick service

Kristian Warner (Canadian Icehole)

Fast and inexpensive. Know a few people who have monthly passes and go every day.

Mike Hertel

Nice and fast

Alexis Arguijo

Good car wash

Kim Logan

We had a good experience.

Norma Orr

I can't wash the car myself so rely on drivethrough washes. But every time there are a lot of missed areas.

lulu girl

Got the bugs off after a long road trip and very reasonable price!A+!!

Christi D.

Just spent $15 to get the full wash and dry to find out, after I went through, that the dry doesn't work. I was told "there's nothing I can do". At least post it so people know what they are paying for.

Ben Szuuts

Great staff, great wash and great price. Always satisfied with a Skogies Vernon.

Wolfman

Does a good job, cost is about the same as doing it yourself with a self serve spray wand and brush but also cleans the undercarriage.

Cole Adams

Since Skogie's opened here in Vernon it has been my go to wash! Their premium wash ($15) is 100% worth it to the other automatic car washes. They also have cameras surrounding your vehicle at the beginning of the wash to ensure that you are protected just incase that you do get a scratch. They have an awesome staff that works there too! Would recommend.

Amy M

Went through, and my car wasn't clean. Went through again, still not clean. Fun times but not effective and it's expensive

Jordan Wright

Tech-phobics stay away. Decent wash but not first-timer friendly with terrible service staff on today at 4 pm. Pulled up on a whim, they guide me onto the conveyor fine, then before I can read the instructions they start blastin my windows with soap. Now I'm blind, confused, and can't roll down my windows to ask for help - so I throw it in park figuring they'll tell me what's next. Sure enough, the conveyor starts up and my cars lurching about - I go to ask them what's up and this girl yells "I need you in neutral." Obvious in hindsight, but awful attitude nonetheless.

Tori R. French

I had a car load when I went through recently and they had a joke written on a Blackboard and the punchline was after the car wash I thought that was awesome

Tammy Brown

Great wash on my vehicle. Quick and not a long wait.

B Young

I'm feeling motivated to clean my house now since my car is so sparkly!!

Ronda Ryder

Loved this because it starts with someone guiding you onto the track and applying that bug spray! Awesome after a day of travel ???? very well priced with HUGE bubbles the kids will enjoy

susan paul

A smile would go a long way, unhappy attendant she is most days. Could be a prerequisite??

Matt “MATTATOEMAN” L

Quick and convenient! Great wash for the value. Really like the facility

Sonja Lybeck

Vacuums didn't work as well as they did when I first tried them

guy franson

For the same cost as the other drive through washes it easily does twice the job!

M Bannister

Really good

jay cooper

Very busy place most of the time only having one wash tunnel. The wash is okay. Wheels don’t get fully clean but that’s typical for automated washes. The dryer could be better too. Sonic was slightly better in that department. Hopefully a second wash bay will be opened down the road!

Alien Trike Squad AdamT

Chris has a great team to go with one great vehicle wash. Make sure you enjoy the wash!

Dave Forai

The membership is worth it.

David Cummins

Good carwash, average pricing, it is a touch carwash and not a touchless. Did a decent job.

Carey Nicholson

Honestly probably the best auto Wash I've ever been to

Paul Schmur

Good wash for the price. Incentive for giving away prizes for submitting a google review is against google policies though.

Chelsea Currie

Scratched my my car mirror where you see out of. Got ahold of the owner and nothing has been done.

Barb lamont

Their membership is a great idea for a reasonable price to keep your vehicle always looking clean

Morgan Leigh

Super quick and efficient.

Jessi Peters

It's like an amusement park ride for your car! Lots of lights and fun stuff. Vacuum is cheap and good. Staff are really nice and helpful.

Alex Wedensky

Probably the best automatic car wash in town.

richter iverson

Hit and miss. I find you get a good clean sometimes. Usually when they do the presoak and pre Rinse. For some reason, I only seem to get it 50% of the time. I have gone in to inquire about my vehicle coming out dirty and the young guy said there was nothing he could do. ( Truck was not really dirty ).

Amanda Morden

Did an awesome job for minimal effort

Gilda Strand

$13 wash and the back of my car was still muddy ????. .... Thanks for your response to this and the free wash - it's appreciated ????

Bradley Holbrook

Great wash and great price. Lots of vacuum stalls and garbage bins.

Jay Schappert

For a clean vehicle at a great price, don't go anywhere else. Oh yeah ... don't forget to fold your mirrors in!

Rye Fehling

Does a good job for a drive thru car wash.

victoria just

It was great and relaxing ????

Calvin De jong

Best place to get your car or truck washed.

Jack Goebel

Excellent brushes touch vehicle

Jerome Boyer

Nice attendants. Good clean.

Ernst VanGameren

Best car wash in Vernon!

Diane Pigeau

Washed my car March 5,2021. Bought the $16 wash. I have washed before with the lower price wash and was ok. This $16. wash was the worst ever. Dirt and spots all over the car. Had to redo it by hand. Very disappointing.

Durand Fritz

Great job

Kelsey Allmark (kelseybrynnartistry)

My (toddler) son's favourite thing to do!

Jay Millard

We drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee and we are not afraid to go off-road with it. Between the snow, dirt and mud, We always find a reason to go here. Definitely has been worth the subscription.

Ramsay McKee

Car washes are decent, though a bit more sparying of the undercarriage and wheel wells would be nice. Good staff!

Jacob Chatterton

Great car wash... Popular spot so long line ups sometimes.

SparkleCindy

Other than long lines. This is an awesome addition to our community.

Neil H

Best auto carwash in Vernon,

Jill Ritchie

We’ve gone here three times all together in the last 8 months and it’s been a horrible experience. The same gentleman keeps working and always glared at us would mumble under his breath. I’ve tried to email the manager but I’ve heard nothing back.

Stephanie Hendy

Fantastic job! Way better than a no-touch wash. Love the triple foam and the Rain-X! I might even buy the membership so I can go all the time!

Lisa M

Quick and convenient. Though be prepared to touch up your rims.

Dave Tanchak

Skogies does a good job cleaning your car, reasonable prices.

Justinn Parkinson

Great options and decent cleans

Noah MacLeod

Prices are quite reasonable considering the service provided. Vacumns with two hoses attached is also a nice lil touch, and the wash always seems to do well getting off myd and grime. The most recent time I went through the wash there was a scratch in the clear coat of my car that I'm quite certain was from the wash (cameras were checked but the scratch wasn't visible in the photos so I'm not going to hold it against the business) but that was once out of ten times, not bad for an automated car wash in my experience.

Bryan Rubarth

Front left tire go hung up started to come out of track - bouncing the front end up and down. You can’t see, you can’t stop. There was no direction from staff other than to place vehicle in neutral. There needs to be more explained by the TWO attendants before you drive in. I walked around my vehicle afterward to check for damage - the back and both rear quarter panels were still covered in suds. Brutal experience. Never going here again. Ever.

Frank Piechnik

Probably the best automatic car wash in the North Okanagan. Worth upgrading to the premier wash.

Ken Carruthers

Excellent wash!

Miss Danielle

Very quick and efficient service even when busy. I've pulled in and had to tuck in close to get off the road, the line was so long, but got through the wash in no time. The prices are decent too, from about $12-$16 per wash, I think.

Dan Faulks

The monthly membership is definitely worth it. I like the hassle free of just driving in without having to pay each time. The wash is a great value as well including drying.

Josephine Dick

Quick, clean, feels great

Angela Bouwmeester

I think I reviewed the Kelowna Skogies by accident. Anyway, the Vernon Skogies does a great job on our Electric Leaf. Even the tires look great although I still haven't figured out how they do it. (the tire treatment tha is) The membership is working out for us and we wash the car every four or five days. I would like to know if a Vernon member can use the Kelowna Skogies as part of the membership. Happy customer.

Joanne Edwards

I love how clean my car is after I go through this car wash. The big felt strips really clean the bird poop off.

Nelson Kelly

Great place always greated with a smile. ????

Corey Yeatman

Best car wash around

Stephen Franchuk

Great wash! Vacuumed out the truck too

Jason Holland

Good place

Sean Phillips

Never too busy... Nice clean results.

Captain Spike

Dang, a few days later and my car is still looking good! I did miss out on the vacuum token, as the machine made a noise, but nothing came out. Oh well, still very happy!

S. Bain

Best car wash in Vernon. Nowhere else gets my truck as clean. Great vaccums too!Highly recommend.

Micheal Jones

Pretty good an great service

Andrew Dennison

Coming from Alberta this is a must stop to wash the bugs off in the summer and the salt in the winter. Top tier was is $16 and it even shines tires and rims. Highly recommend it!

Scorpio

The best automated car wash in town.

Rita Scott

The only place in town that cleans my PT cruiser thoroughly.

Judy Taylor

Quick, efficient and clean!

Kyla K

My car was so clean and stayed clean for days. I only wish they had people to clean your interior.

Ripplay Ripples

It's probably the best place to get your car washed in Vernon. My car always comes out looking spotless. Plus the brushes they use are soft and don't scratch if you have a black car???? however they have raised their prices by a bit so I can't do it as often as I like, so it is expensive.

P Schmidt

Love this place. So easy.

peter Bailey

Fast and efficient. Great job .

Duncan Merriman

CLEAN RIDE! The assembly-line feel of the wash is a bit tedious when there’s a massive line up, but it always goes faster than I expect and my cars always come out looking new as can be. They have monthly memberships so you can go every dang day if you want to!! Kids love the tunnel and the all the spinning brushes and coloured foam. It’s a fun place haha

Amanda McGillivray

After my husband paid for top of the line wash$18... the whole passenger side of truck was barely touched by your oscillating cleaners.... not first time this has happened either .

Tim D.

I feel conspicuous about leaving a negative review here as there are so many satisfied customers I see. But at the same time I feel obligated to inform others of what could happen to them. I've always been a bit sceptical about these non-touchless types of carwashes, thinking grit from other vehicles could become lodged in the fabric of these brushes and then in turn scratch my vehicle. Well I took my van through the tunnel the other day and well you guessed it, it appears that a cat like creature must have gone berserk on me. The weird things is it only scratched the very back of my van including the window. Still seems very odd to me, but the fact is, that's the facts. Anyways, sorry Skogie's, but I don't plan on visiting you with my Beamer anytime in the near future.

Danielle Minard

Love my month membership! It makes keeping my vehicle clean a breeze.

Darrell Elverum

Quick. Efficient. VEHICLE is clean everytime. Staff/employees are motivated, to get you the best CLEAN ever!

Greg Poirier

Their "Wash Club" is fabulous and well worth it if you love to have a clean vehicle at a ridiculously low price. The staff is friendly and eager to please.

Howard Ashmore

I got the lowest, basic wash and it was like the works compared to where I usually go at home. I would give it 5 stars if it were touchless.

Anton Callaway

Fast, efficient and your car comes out clean and shiny. It is the best car wash ever!

Matthew Vyse

An interesting and fun way to get the car clean when I don't want to wash it myself.

kathy kurulok

Great service

TheKromeAssassin

Pros: great carwash and decent price Cons: the manager is extremely condescending and thinks running a carwash makes her invaluable

Laurie Dolinsky

Always quick and thorough. Great value!

Garry Marchand

Quick and easy

Gonzo Okanagan

Favorite place for a wash

Ben Nicholson

Great wash... But... Every time I go through u I'm afraid something's going to break off my vehicle.

Austin Batchelor

Good pricing, and my truck looks great, will be coming back!

Sean Kershaw (Emotez)

Pretty solid wash. Misses spots on the rear of my car though. For 17 bucks I expect more.

Jason Kazimer

Quick and easy, and you get a clean car.

Byron Rempel

Good wash until something fly's off your vehicle. In my case on Jan-26 @ 1:49 PM, My moonroof deflector flew off and got damaged in the wash. I went in to notify staff, Was told the owner would be InTouch with me, This never happened. The Deflector wasn't cheap, A $50+ loss. I'm not expecting a complete reimbursement, I'm reasonable. I was thinking at the Very least one or two free washes.

Michael Chew

Easy access and fair pricing.

Natasha Hennessy

We love going thier it maybe lined up but they go threw quick best one in vernon

robert tauffenbach

Very efficient

Mark Martin

Does a good job, not cheap though.

Bob Robertson

It gets it clean. Not over priced.

Alex Pinsonneault

Terrible still have film allover truck and paid for 18 dollar wash and never got tires Armour alled

Gordon Felts

Not good with bugs, other then that good service

Amy Penner

So handy to be able to vacuum the car for just $2. And the carwash does a good job too..

Taylor Fraese

Went through the car wash today and I’m okay with the basic wash but the rude ness of the staff ruined the experience . I smiled at the lady Washing my car a couple times and I just got dirty looks and the tone of her voice she used was rude and her snippy Answers were unpleasant and the way she looked made me quite upset me. I had just gotten off work and wanted a clean car and just a bad experience for car wash. and the managers never seem to care about complaints as they never get back to you.

Tane Routley

Today (May 5) I went to Skogies at 830. I had bought gift cards from Costco, I was having trouble getting the cards to activate at the front where you sign in or pay I finally called the attendant to come and help me he was by himself so he came when he could to help me. I was trying to do the cards wrong you need to turn them into gift cards before you can use them I was trying to punch in the number on the card completely my fault I finally ended up paying for a car wash on my own just to get through the lineup. he had to hurry back to get the line moving again for the cars that were backed up now and when I came around and it was my turn he said " I'll take those cards in for you and get them switched over right now". He did that for me and came back he was so polite and so nice even though it was my fault I wasn't doing it correctly. I just want to say big kudos to him even though he was by himself , he helped me out never got frustrated with me and it was awesome. Totally satisfied customer today at Skogies. Again thank you to attendant who helped me out!

Clint Kanester

Great wash!

Steve A

Truck was almost clean after I went through. I expected better for the price

Cj Chapman

Worked great just need one person at the end to wipe off glass and mirrors. VS. 2 the beginning

Kathleen Oakley

Always a good clean car when I am done

Brian S

Convenient friendly

chris kirby

Its ok.... good wash to 99% of the car but when i ask for a dirty rag to rub the aftermarket rims down so they come out sparkling clean its a questionable request.... no body in the drive threw! And the issue of aftermarket rims remaining dirty after the ultimate wash is known!

Dezi Bond

Went in for car wash, left with scratches all over my truck, easily the worst car wash experience i’ve ever had. I went in and before entering the attendant asked if I could take off my aftermarket antenna, I told her it doesn’t come off and she said that’s ok it won’t cause any issues. it wasn’t until after that i noticed that the car wash broke it off. after getting out of the tunnel another attendant came up and threw the broken antenna into the back of my truck without saying anything. before i left she came up to talk to me so I rolled down my window, expecting an apology, but instead she asked if i knew how to actually drive my vehicle and then ran off with a smile on her face. after leaving i wanted to see how my truck looked, and i noticed the tailgate and box were covered in scratches that weren’t there before. 0/10.

Sara Spalek

Nice wash

Carl Metz

Great car wash, we need one in airdrie AB, I use it everytime I am in vernon. Never had a scratch, Tires nice and shiney.

lexa zarr

Best car wash in town! I always recommend skogies for their convenience and good wash! Looking at getting a monthly membership since I go often!

Rachel Burm

Seriously, the best car wash my husband and I ever experienced! The pre wash wasn an actual pre wash. All the bugs from our travel came right off! SUPERIOR CLEAN, compared to anything in the lower mainland!

Rodney Hiebert

Unless you like your antenna and window wipers ripped off go here then

morvis

Best drive through car wash ever! Never before had my car been cleaner or tires more shiny.

D Callaghan

Good wash when it's operational. They open at 7 am and are often shut down mid morning for some reason. I came by this morning at 9:30 and the gates were blocked with pylons. I came back at 3:30 and the gates were blocked again. Very frustrating when I pay a monthly membership.

Brent Colley

Usually no hold up.

heidi collins

Was vacuuming my car when I went to the opposite side to vacuum the passenger side when the connection of the hoses let lose and smashed onto my head. Spoke to the lady running the place today and received an oh I’ll go fix it sorry. My head has a huge bump and my head is pounding. Like really? Don’t offer me something like some car washes or something. Good God. I had witnesses

Raeley King

It scratched my car paint all over the roof. And when i sent a complaint they never got back to me.

Raman Khunkhun

The Cadillac of all car washes.

Charolette Birdstone

great job ya guys !????????

Tammy Stella

Amazing car wash!!! You won't ve disappointed, even if there is a bit of a line up it's worth it!!

annette dhaliwal

Awesome wash

Bob Galino

Today went by kogies and some guy was freaking out at employes and couldent handle his anger that place is so busy give them a break guy.sorry to the employee that was being yelled at today poor guy.The kogie car wash is great place to go and dose a good job and if you have a problem or anything they are very nice about making it right. the tire shinner dose a great job tires stay clean for a few days.

Gaston Gilliard

I PAID FOR A 16.00 WASH. AFTER THE "SUPREME CLEAN", DIRT WAS STILL RUNNING OFF THE CAR AND THE MANAGER SAID THAT WAS "TOO BAD FOR YOU." AND REPEATEDLY SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AT ME. I watched multiple customers who took the time to look at their car after their wash pull back around for a rewash. After watching multiple customers go back around and only the younger women be granted a 2nd wash I was highly disappointed. There was even an elderly woman in a black 4 door who noticed damage on her car get turned away. When the elderly lady stopped to talk to me about the damage on her car. The manager came over and threatened to call the police because I was harassing his customers. Always check your car there or go somewhere else.

Paul

Had driven by many times since it opened and it looked like a new, modern place. Unfortunately the term good from far but far from good applies here. When I pulled up to the prewash area I asked the unibrow attendant if he could kindly give my rims a good soak. All he said was “this is an express wash”. Was disappointed in the actual wash equipment. Considering how new the facility is, it seems like the oldest of wash technology is employed here. Car came out as poorly as one would think whirling brushes could manage, every crevice and non flat surface were still covered in road grime suggesting the wash temperature and pressure is insufficient, despite spending $16 bucks for the “deluxe wash”. When exiting the wash, you’re treated by a stretch of mud and gravel that looks like a turkey trail. Pretty sad for a wash facility but given the lack of enthusiasm displayed by the attendant it’s really no surprise. Noticed they are hiring at $15 per hour, so maybe Mr. unibrows days there - are numbered.

Lorrie Sutherland

Love the service

Sandee Towers

Didn't wash very well there were streaks of dirt all down both sides of the truck.

Angela Adams

Love it here. It's the only place we get a car wash at :)

Brice Sova

Great job

Colin Gordon

Good wash, winter and summer. Fast too!

Woytec Dziuba

It's a car wash

Bev Carisse

Scratches all over my car. I was told the manager would call me to address the issue but never heard from them.

hatina g

They are prompt to come spray vehicle

Lua Nevill

Excellent car wash, convienent location.

simon jaeger

Never open on time, always having mechanical problems, dryer doesn't work properly, stay away from this place

Dave Hrabchuk

Good job

Mark Schofield

Good carwash

karen crane

Missed spots on the windshield and body of car, streaky finish

Frazer Johnston

Good value carwash. The staff scrubbed my wheels and the carwash did the rest...car looked good at the end and that's what matters.

Josh Spruce

Sketchy at best it’s very hit and miss .... when they actually do the pre-soak you get a good clean . Today however we have completely untrained staff . They were too busy working in the office or not paying attention to make sure that the 25 car lineup is moving efficiently. The business owner needs to seriously train some staff or hire another person. More and more I see cars turning around and leaving . I have used both Kelowna’s Skogies and Vernon’s . I can assure you that the Kelowna store almost never has a line up and the wash quality is way better. VERNON needs some vast improvements!!!

Linda Maclean

Easy to use once you get used to the ticket machine. Bit complicated. Good wash though.

Judy Hoffman

It actually cleans your car!

Jesse Quibell

Great car wash but more upkeep on rince and prewash power washing heads are needed over half of them don't spin and spray in one spot as you vehicle passes through them.. leaves lines over hood and roof after paying almost 20 bux per wash... step up your game skogies people pay good money for this and getting half quality

Wendy Sturrock

Does a good job but prices are s little steep.

Bob Brogan

Works well

dat chick

For how busy it was I was surprised the line went so fast! And I love that u don't have to worry about driving. The wash does the driving all for u! So ur free to do what u want until the wash is done and ur dry. Altho the drying process is very short and if u want that perfect finish u will have to park afterwards and towel dry. But other then that I loved the service!

Lois Mitchell

Usually quick to get into, lots of vacuums very clean and well kept

Don Simposon

I love this place. Best Car Wash around and Aly is fantastic!

Sam Burns

Quick wash that gets it clean.

RDublu88

Best car wash in town.

Ray-lee Bergen

Vacuums didn't have enough power, the car wash didn't even clean my car and it bent my license plate nearly in half. 10/10 not worth the money

Jason Chisholm

Great place to clean your vehicle. 2 vacuum hoses at same time for 2 people to work together and get done faster.

Marlene Peeling

What fun to go through the car wash

Alex Van Bruksvoort

Love this place. Wishing it would get you 100% clean, but not 100% sure it the car wash and more the amount of dirt you pickup during the week.

Boat Naked

It was good

Coryn Chelsea

Always very impressed when I leave. My Jeep is a happy Jeep when it comes out of the wash and goes beep beep! ????

Tom K

For at least the past full year, I pay a monthly fee for a service to have my vehicle washed regularly at Skokie’s drive thru car wash. Unfortunately Skokie’s DOES NOT maintain their equipment properly. There has never been a time when all the nozzles in the first stage have all been working at the same time. Also, the big roller brush that cleans the top of your vehicle was not working on my last visit. Until I see all the equipment working properly, I consider Skokie’s service very poor at best, rating is 1out of 5!

Julie Sheppard

Chose the full car wash. The last 2 times it didn't clean the car.

brady beaudry

Does not clean the right side of your vehicle, have gone multiple times to see if issue has been corrected but remains the same. Waste of $18

David McCartney

Good

Tom Hansen

Thee only place to go that does an A=1 job .

marie pattie

Not the best wash today....missed most of the back of my vehicle

Chris Bavle

price is fair and gets most of the dirt off

Merle Kalyn

I've avoided car washes like these for years, thinking that only a wand wash was the only way to go. When Skogie's first opened, I liked the cool looks of the building, so I thought I would give it a try. I was hooked from that day on. I haven't wand washed my truck since. Although a wand wash is great, how many people wash all the way underneath the vehicle? Skogie's does!!! And shine protection, tire clean, etc. C'mon, for the few extra bucks it costs, it's well worth it. Wand washing isn't that much cheaper if you consider how much more you are getting at Skogie's vs a plain wand wash. Your vehicle is a huge investment. Why not give it the best treatment you can? Thanks Skogie's for always making my truck look great!!!!!

Nathan Johnson

Fun place, good wash

Keri L Winkelaar

Some staff are great, others do bare minimum.

doug smith

Way Better than a auto spray wash

Laird Fawcett

Wash itself does a pretty good job. "Tire shine" in the top option wash package is completely useless. It covers your wheels in goo and splatters all over your paint if you don't park and let it dry. Issues with the monthly billing subscription system also caused me grief and left me stuck in the line up with cars behind me while I had to go inside and ask for help. If the "bugs" could be worked out I would be more inclined to renew my subscription that was ended without my approval.

gary batula

My truck fits in the washer and always comes out looking great.

Colin Ling

Awesome experience, staff is friendly and prompt! Truck was shining like a diamond when it came out!

Mike Edgar

Great wash and fast

Roy Nilanga

Superb...very good car washing. Reasonable price.

J Ottesen

Always good service

valkeryie

Best wash in Vernon

Evan Winkelaar

Very often find some portion is either networking or not properly. Seems to have gone downhill since opening.

Nicki F

Like this car wash. Super fast, soft touch gets car cleaner than spray-only washes. Decent price!

Shari Hurst

Scratched up my new car...they denied it and did not care.

Reny Kitto

Great car wash...
