Reviews of Shawnessy Car Wash (Car Wash)

Tony Durley

Better than the other 2 car washes

K S

Great service. Staff are friendly and helpful. I never have had any issues with their machines. Recommend this self-serve carwash to the residents of the area.

Jason Hryniuk

Awesome car wash big bays and can fit trailer.

Brandon Matheson

Typical car wash, plenty of vacuums and wash bays, and as long as you come in the right time frame there isnt much of a wait time.

Nebyue Gebeyue

Great place, with various payment method. Its also clean. Just needs few more bays as it gets busy a lot.

Kris. Calgary

It's a do-it-yourself car wash.

Brenda K. Wallace

Spray wash hard to find everything is drivr thru

michael Scratch

Doesn't do a very good job and the girl that works here always has a problem with something…won't be coming back, I guess they make enough without my money

This place is often extreemly busy. The soap with the brush is not as abundant as other cash washes I have been to and you need to start your wash cycles using toonies. I hate having to rush around and plan out my wash. You can insert a loonie to extend your session but that opportunity quickly expires. Sometimes you just need a little extra time and I dont like having to run around the truck with my hand in my pocket trying to get the loonie out before my session expires. The place is always clean and staff are always friendly but this is not my go to place.

Diana Morariu

Convenient for Shawnessy residents

Alex T

Good

Ria Bruno

Worker was very helpful with my questions. Very professional. Will recommend this place to others!

Dhruv Mangat

Spent 40 minutes waiting for a Bay. I was tricked by google when it said usually not busy!!

Mathiaus Poe

Thorough and affordable car wash.

J Dub (Gunsum)

One of the better car washes in the area Because it is a good one it is busy in evenings and all weekends. It's worth the wait usually. Just get in behind an older car if you dont want to wait as long. The timers are at a fair price. They even have a couple places you can park to dry your vehicle off. The vacumes actually last longer than you would think.

Sean “Scoop” Cooper

During the winter time the doors aren't set to automatically open, which is understandable but is super annoying when the person ahead of you just drives away without opening the door. Then you have to walk to the man door, walk through all the booths, possibly getting sprayed, to open the door for you to pull in.

Edgar Sihues

Fast a good

Sam Sharok

Self car wash.... Descent price and good service...

Shane

Always clean and has good pressure.

Coin operated self car wash and vacuum ????

Ali T

One of the good car wash in SW Calgary

Monica Alvarez

I had my car wash on a Sunday morning. The attendant, was very nice. I can't remember his name unfortunately, but he helped me by explaining how to use the wax feature, cleaning engine. No one has ever taking the time to explain and I really, really appreciated this. Thank you so much your time and help.

Steven Datchkoff

Probably one of the best car washes I’ve been to in the city, great pressure and reasonable prices.

Renato Barros

Great location, several bays, fair price.

Camilo Isaza

Its a car wash.... they take tokes or credit card... good soap?

Tyler Tocker

One of the better ones for sure. But does get busy too.

James Ellwood

Fair price, never had a bad wash. If I did I would have to blame myself.

Alexander Len

Busy place! Good location! All the time in good condition!

Praba Pillai

Recently renovated..all good.

Mircea Mardare

Good carwash, not very busy

Stacie Gentile

They're doing some renovations to the exit area so if you go you have to back out of the bay.

Kenton Smith

Nice and big, well maintained, wish they had a spot free rinse.

Farzain Malbari

Clean and tidy. Now they accept credit cards right in the wash bays making it very convenient.

Sunny

Long lines during peak hours, but the facility is overall quite nice.

Roezell Riggs

This is the car wash I go to in the SW. It can get quite busy so I usually come in around 7-8am. The prices are fair. There is a machine where you can trade cash bills to coins, a store inside and the cash wash can take credit cards.

Bryce Hughes

Great self serve car wash with fair prices. Can usually soap, rinse, and wax my small SUV for approximately $9.00. Can pay with credit card directly, no need for tokens. Equipment is in good repair and the bays are kept clean. Can get busy after work and on weekends. Best to go later in the evening.

Chris

This wash is great! The bays are always clean with a friendly environment. The wands have a ton of pressure that will blast the dirt right off and the soap brushes always looks like they have been replaced recently. I like the fact that I can use my credit card, because really who has change these days!

Gear Oil Cafe

Terrible ventilation, couldn't see anything while washing the car.

Stephen Smyth

Well kept facility

Bilal Zainal

Nice

Kyle Niksic

Good place, lines are usually shorter than surrounding washes

Steve Gordon

Every time I come here it’s always clean, no garbage and I never have to worry about mud. A lot of the people that work here usually take care of the facilities which is a great thing to see. The vacuums work really well too! Location is good easy to access. Pricing of armorall and other items are realistic too so you don’t have to worry about that. The change machines are always working Keep up the great work everyone!

Paul Breeze

Long line ups.

Brandon Lopena

This carwash has the longest line.

Kevin Baroni-smith

Too bad there's no rv bay. Other then that it's great

Les Poon

Lots of bays but can be busy on the weekends

kyle matechuk

Nothing fancy, a little older of a facility, great owner/operator though, can get extremely busy at times

Terry Talentino

Good vacuums and powerful wash. Credit and debit tap to pay is convenient in the wash.

Vasily Kandelaki

Payment terminal was not in working order, had to change a bay. Only two clamps for floor maps on the wall. Curtains does not shield from the neighboring bays spray.

Dorian Steier

Lots of Washbays, Good H20 pressure, Clean

JOMS THOMAS ALACKEL

Usually it is busy.But there are many bays.

Larry Gorluik

Lots of bays. A couple of oversized bays for larger vehicles or RVs.

Javier Cob Briceño

Great place to wash your car. You can either wash it with their tools or if you get early you wan wash it by hand. Also very cheap

Jay Line

Great carwash experienced, everyone must give it a try

Betsy Turner

A popular and necessary stop. Great because of debit and credit option for payment and reasonably priced.

Jarvis Palada

Clean and well maintained place.

Adrian Oskatamin

Wand wash only.

Jessica Connors

Place gets really busy on a good day (for them) and you can get stuck in the bay if you're in the back half behind someone doing a full scrub down. But dollar to water minutes seems reasonable and water doesn't leave a ton of spotting like some. Our go to self wash.

Z Ahmed

So so

Natalie Sugden

Clean bays. But water is cold and it's expensive

melissa lyons

awesome car wash!

Tyrell Scott

I use this car wash very frequently and have never had any issues. Just like most car washes the line ups can get quite long. Not the best layout/use of space.

Vadym Hulchenko

Good, clean car wash. Lacking garbage bin. Also usually vacuum is placed before the wash itself, not at this location.

Daniel Charest

They take credit cards directly at the bays

Jim T

Not as good as others

paul hobson

Nice staff

said abdulbari

Dave

Did the job..

Ray

Really great place car wash. Can get really busy and backed up during busy hours.

Nemanja Maroti

Many bays to choose from and very affordable

Jenn Gardiner

Rude service attendant. Not interested in paying for a service only to be treated with disrespect. I'll go to the many other coin car washes in the city.

Ranjit Singh

Best car wash place using coin in Calgary SW

Wayne Green

Clean. Good bays and friendly staff.

Hashim Mir

Charged me extra. Rips off customer's

Ibrahim Kazanci

I love this car wash. Better than most that I know.

James Easlick

Fast and friendly

David MacDonnell

Wash your car for $3 or $4

Martin K

The first time I used this car wash I thought it to be on an expensive side; however, gave it another chance and haven't looked back since. I've used a number of highly rated car washes across town to only learn that, while many use a lot more soap, their pressure is minuscule compared to this place - hence costing on average (in my case) $2-$4 more per wash. This is the only place I'd consider taking my cars to. Keep the pressure up!

Evan Berger

Great place, clean facility, friendly staff, do you really want anymore from a car wash?

Tom Irwin

Best hand carwash I've found in the south.

Dilip Ladwa

Nice car wash with all the necessary gadgets for s sparkling clean car wash. My usual place.

Roadrunner Driving School

good pressure water

Dave Percy

Overpriced machine runs out very quickly

Fal Rat

Not proper Lines set up... Sometimes need to wait too long

Maidee Penaranda

I really like the new updates!

Den Konakov

I wish they had undercarriage gun to wash bottom of the car...

Daydreamer

Pressure is good but it's a lot more expensive than the one I go to on a regular. Water also leaves spots. Better off looking for a car wash with soft water rinse.

Milly Toda

The most ripoff car wash in the city.

Margaretha Hallett

Long wait time but a good place.

Kelsie London

Getting a pre paid wash card here was awesome. I dont need to worry about change or using a credit card for a quick spray. Sometimes line ups but goes pretty fast.

Les “Nessman” H

Good chemicals, good pressure. Average price for car washes here in Calgary.

PA Head

It was great.

Wajid nezam

Busy place

Axel Funk

Great carwash

Elyse Browne

Stopped in this am, looking for gift cards. All signs say open, and lights are on, but doors all locked and noone in sight. Pretty disappointed.

Mack K

Water pressure is too high and peels off my paint. I've tried this place many times and I'd rather go elsewhere and spend the extra few dollars to get a total clean than constantly get paint sprayed off.

The Savvy Guide

Washed my car. Worked out great. Spent 4 bux. They take credit cards

Kirill Penkov

Inexpensive car wash with many features, better than any robotic wash

Lynda Staples

Convenient location and reasonable price. Not much soap in the wash or presoak cycles. No undercarriage wash.

Robert Noseworthy

Best carwash in the city in my opinion. I have been going here for 8 years and have never lost a dollar to the machines or had the equipment malfunction. I was once asked to switch bays as the employee was cleaning the bays and paid for the remainder of my wash.

Greg Taylor

What's to say it's a cat wash

Chad C

Twice the "soap" was basically water... Waste of money to have a dirty car afterwards ""I thought you said you took the car to the car wash?""

Gregg Parsons

The car wash itself is fine, I am disappointed that when paying with a credit card the machine shuts off at $13.80, I understand this is to prevent fraud however I don’t think it’s fair to pay the $2 to restart the wash with only one quarter panel left to rinse. When I expressed this to the attendant he told me to “wash faster”

Gregory Chabassol

A place to clean your car. I like that you can choose from multiple payment methods.

m b

Great carwash

Darren Matilpi

Staff not that friendly...mebbe tired..as only one on site

Jamie Hanson

Just pulled up in front of a bay when an angry man demanded I move because he needed to get by but as I tried to explain to him the exit is at the opposite side of the building (when you exit bays you Turn left and exit not try and weave your way thru people lined up waiting he claimed that he's always exited via the entrance I told him that it would be near impossible for him to get by with cars lined up to enter the bay and he just continued to get angry so I tries to call over another customer but he didn't want to get involved this angry man went to the employee that was working at the time but he didn't intervene at all I called later and left a message for the owner and nobody called me back Perhaps the entrance and exit signs need to be bigger for those customers that don't know how to read

Chandi Wapass

Today as I washed my car here I was verbally assulted by a customer. He got out of his vehicle and began banging on the door quite erratically so I opened to see what the problem was. He then began to yell and scream at me calling me very racist things. The wash attendant paid no mind meanwhile 3 other customers came to try difuse the situation. The man was ao aggressive I had to keep him away from me by aiming the water gun at him. I was with my two young children, by this time they are crying. Had it not been for the three gentlemen who intervened I'm sure this would have turned into a physical altercation. The man was not refused service. I am appalled.

Slava p

2$ to start - 2:21min rinse time

Matthew Smith

Great place to get your car washed

Chris Ruthven

Depending on the day you go, this place gets really busy. The queue process can get a bit confusing or frustrating. Basically just like your typical grocery store, each bay has its own lineup. So if you are back in the line it can be a bit chaotic. But otherwise it is a good carwash.

Ian Weldon

Very clean

Steve P

Busy place but well worth the wait. If you're fast you can get a solid wash for $4-$5

Mohiuddin Talukder

Good

Warren Shimbashi

Lots of pressure with great rates

BRUCE McDonald

Good Value,

Donald S U C C

The change machines never work and ive only ever seen a staff member once. The worst part is the lines it takes forever to get into the carwash and the exit from the car wash is difficult for low cars.

vishal rajpara

It was first time for me to do manual car wash and I had no clue how to do it. Responsible Lady during that time not only taught me how to do it but she literally did it for me . Thanks a lot for lovely experience and sparkling car .

Nick Sherston

Good car wash. Can be very busy.

AJ Norwegian

75 seconds per dollar, water pools in car wash.

hyunchul rho

Is Bucket wash available when it is free late at night?

jhun Dizon

The best car wash in town.

Shon Iserovich

Very exquisite car wash place, I would highly recommend to any stranger who is not familiar with this vicinity that they should expect nothing but the best from them. Also, I would love to give a special shout out to a very excellent employee, Ahmed, who has helped me with my vehicle. He is a very straightforward individual who's skill work is the highest you can find anywhere within the province. Ahmed went above and beyond, and I would like to say again that I recommend this car wash to anyone who is interested and/or looking for something cheap, but superb!

Gary Renner

Lines are huge

Sean Connors

I used to go to the one in midnapore until they put up 1000 signs ordering me how to use the facility. Much friendlier here.

Ashley Romkes

Went to wash my car and waited patiently in line, it was finally my turn and an older gentleman comes and tells me I have to go to a different stall. Being a busy spring evening I asked him if I could go ahead of anyone since I had already waited for quite some time and didn’t want to have to go to the very back of the line. He didn’t even answer me and just walked away. So I slowly tried to reverse the whole length of the parking lot to try to get in a new line and began to wait again - only to see him let in a new car to where I had been 2 minutes earlier!!!

Shannon Kellock

Great little car wash no frills just clean this place does have vacuums and a little shop that includes car detailing items

Travis M

Great prices and experience everytime I use this car wash. Can be busy at times but usually is pretty dead when I go on Sunday mornings.

Jordan Balaban

Nice clean facility. Fair prices.

samantha januszczak

Extremely rude staff. Had a horrible experience today with a staff member, didnt catch his name but he was a middle aged man with short grey hair and a ball cap. I pulled into the stall, tried to swipe my card many times both ways and nothing worked, so I go out the office say “Hi your credit card machine in this bay doesn’t seem to be working” in which the response from him was “well did you try it.” Seemed like a rude response and kind of obviously I answered “yes of course, many times.” So he follows me to the bay and I swipe my card, the man says “just read the thing” so I try and swipe it again the opposite way and this time it works. So I respond with “okay thank you, my bad” and he didn’t hear me and asked me to repeat myself, I said again “sorry my bad” to which he responds with “WHAT A DUMB THING TO SAY” and walks away. Of course I’m a bit offended, but I let him walk away as to not start any trouble, I would have left right then and there had I not already just swiped my card. This man is extremely rude, extremely unhelpful and I will not be returning.

Nancy Bezaire

Going at 9 pm is a huge bonus!!

Andy Perrin

Nice car wash but always busy

C S

This is my go-to place to get my car washed. Sometimes there's a wait but that's to be expected when it has a thaw. The best times to come are in the early morning - or late at night - if it's busy and has just thawed, or that kind of thing. The stalls have always been clean and I've never had any problems with using any of the machines or with them scratching my car. I mean, it's a car wash and nothing super exciting but it's easy, affordable and fast, so it is what it's supposed to be!

Dan

Good & knowledgeable attendants but usually too busy

Robert Norman

Little time for 2 bucks

Russel Blake

No complaints

Fady El-Gawly

Have Never Tried , How Does it Work for Interior Cleaning ? is it Just Vacuuming for Internal or Can Do Hand Wash somehow ? what prices of Levels ? Thx

Aaron Thorogood

Nope

Gary Krivak

Good shop.

Trevor Thomas

Pretty standard wand wash but good prices and easy to get in during non-peak times.

Bushwagon

I come here quite a bit. It's clean the water is hot, pressure is good and prices are reasonable. Accidentally left a backpack in a washing bay the other day. Nice gentleman found my number in the bag and called me to tell me they had it. Saved me a ton of money and trouble! Great place. Great staff. Come here to wash your stuff!

Alexander Jurca

Good place to wash your car.

Katherine Mac Neill

This car wash has good hours and their pricing is on par with other car washes. In the bays only loonies and twoonies are accepted. There is a change machine located outside on the south side of the office that accepts bills and cards. The office is manned, so if you do have an issue someone is on sight to help. It can get very busy later in the day, so if it's an option going in the morning is best.

Maryam Malek

Very good high pressure water

Jeff Miranda

It's usually busy in this place and most of the time there's a line up especially when the weather turns warmer. $2 is minimum to run the machine. Credit card is accepted or loonies and twoonies.

Paul Eslinger

Can be very busy depending on time of day

Vs S

You don't get your money worth at this car wash. This place needs a upgrade

Byron Dixon

Always has good water pressure

Jean-Pierre Abi-Aad

Best car wash in that SW area. Always clean and the water pressure is very consistent

R M

Busy place. Lots of hot water and a good foaming brush to get the road film off your vehicle.
