Reviews of Canco Wash (Car Wash)

Desiree Morriseau

Never a dull moment at this busy 24 hour gas station, large selection of Canadian made products and smoking accessories, hard ice creme and screamers, as well as self and full serve hand car wash bays. Serves propane, diesel and unleaded gas at low market prices.

Good 24/7 self car wash. It is outdoors, but it's well lit and even has hot water and soap! Plus has credit card transaction machine in stalls.

Daniel Lovell

Erin Melien

A Soucie

Place needs so up keep..but the carwash working

Darryl Abate

UPDATE - Down one star for not having any change machine for the carwashes, nor allowing cash back at the tills. They used to, until new owners took over. "Bank charges too much, minimum $5 purchase..." like you're not making enough with the carwashes ? Get with the times !

Darryl Mayo

Hot water rinse.......awesome!

JΣFF BЯӨЩП

Been coming here for 20+ years (Robo) always have had excellent customer service!

I used $4 in the coin wash and it bought a good amount of time on the hose gun. But heck, this place is falling apart ????

Carey Nicholson

Gas station itself is great staff are super friendly and they have screamers! Car wash I went through and it seemed like the left washer arm wasn't getting any pressure in the first half of the wash compared to what the right side was putting out

Smoke Walker

Only a dollar to rinse of my vehicle!

Brooke Guillou

Good service

Bearded Jay

Only reasonably priced car wash facility left in Kamloops. Can still put 1$ in to use the pressure washer which is nice. Where everyone else charges 2$ and less time.

Lori Zacharuk

The coffee. The service always with a smile. The staff is very friendly and very polite!

Darrell Jerke

Great customer service, and they do a great job. The price is reasonable to.

BLUE MUSIC STUDIO Music Production

Awesome service

Jonathan Strutt

Automatic Wash was good but there's no dryer at the end - not good anytime, but especially winter. Wise Guys wash is just as good but has a dryer too.

Pugsley jules

Wash your wheels here

Ron Kuchma

Quit

brenda Warwick

the best place in town

VK Lakkineni

The guys are doing a great job at washing cars.

Rick Batten

Try to have the crew wash my truck. Hot outside, one fellow will not wash unless the engine is turned off. You can go another time and its not an issue. If this is the policy it should be posted. Not at the whim of one employee.

Jase Langille

Very busy. Had to wait 20 minutes to wash my truck.

Bradley Smith

Super slow on full serve. Four customers any time of day causes a melt down. People, are good just understaffed at times

Caleb Turner

This was actually a really decent car wash experience. The weather was really bad so I just wanted to get some of the dirt/sand/salt off the car and the wash actually did a pretty good job of that. I'd go again.

Tim Warden

Poor service I am handicapped so I use the full service pump, they make you wait forever to get fuel. Is it full service or no service? Makes me wonder.

Isabella Harvey

Fast service

Martin Jewer

Great car wash and gasoline

Kenton Turchinetz

Scott Ramsey

Full service at the pumps with self service

They use hot water. Makes it easy to wash in the winter and does do a better job than cold water.

Corey Reynolds

Best car wash around. Hand service for automatic prices.

Blair Upton

The staff is nice and they are really quick.

pranav chaudhary

Cheapest car wash

Donnie Shaw

Self wash on the right doesn't have much pressure and not much for car wash material.

ken moorman

Always friendly

Vin Bro

Needs a lot of maintenance and renovation. Many birds nesting in the ceiling spaces.

Aaron Martin Odeau

Great place to wash your vehicle for a few dollars. And they have a lot of gasoline for sale.

Daniel Carlick-Cassidy

Got it all! Carwash and full service gas pumps!

Jason Dowds

WARRNING!! Used my credit card in the car wash machine.I was charged $36.00 Asked manager about this problem won't refund. Will never return. Read these reviews this is a common problem that they won't fix this is FRAUD.

Dylan Pushak

Cheap smokes, and cheap gas. All you could ask for in a gas station.

bradley lyle hammond

The legendary "Robo" until they got all homogenized and named it "Canco". Renowned hang out for Addicts, and Homeless, and every other type under the sun. This place has it all - cool merch behind the counter, Keno, cheapest Cigarettes around, and lots of coffee for the working stiffs. Outside they have plenty of pumps, including Propane and Full Service, so there generally isn't much waiting for fuel here. Staff works hard and they are competent and friendly. Last but not least, "Canco" ( it'll always be Robo to me lol ) has WAY more than enough car wash stalls. The pressure is decent, and the price is right. You can either wash yourself, of have the staff do it - for a fee, obviously. The good news is that "Canco" is 100% up to the task of carrying on the fine, longstanding tradition laid down by the legendary ROBO.

Tesh Osborne

Always open 24/7 good workers ,car wash available all night 24/7 as well .

Bill Nobbs

Excellent place for all your needs

Kalen Gaetz

Fast and friendly service. I am always treated well here.

Doug Peters

Good and efficient

Derrick Francis

They employ kids out of school. Poor pay, but the kids learn the value of a buck. They wash cars quick, and will correct if you find a missed spot. But they're usually right on the money.

Garry Burrell

Decent carwash close to home

Joseph Allenback

3 staff members standing around, large line up.....1 poor girl working as hard as she can to serve everyone, this is not the first time i have encountered this here I will not return!!!

trenton Wachter

I went and washed my truck this morning and found scratches on both sides of my truck and they refuse to fix the damages It was scratched by one of the saop brushes very horable place to wash your trucks at this car wash

Trish Fallis

Fast and great job

Kathy Wiens

This place used to be robo car wash & esso. Now it is Canco. Cheaper at the pumps. Clean inside store. Nice owner!

Mike Jardine

They close part of the pool for swimming lessons and still charge you full price to get in. The change rooms floors are always gross hair wet dirty even had poo on the floor one time no one maintains them especially the family change rooms the price to get in is not reflective of poor cleanliness. The only thing this place is going for it is the facility.

Danielle Anderson

Long wait

Jody Reed

Not a great wash. Roof half done, missed spots on rest vehicle. Bug splats still on windows and front end.

Richard Maki

Good coffee

Donald Sanford

Can automatically wash, can self service wash, or they can wash by hand for you

Ty MacDougall

I have severe asthma and am exempt from wearing a mask. I was discriminated by them today. The manager walked out with the mask around her chin and started lecturing me not even properly wearing her mask. This is the day and age we live in. It was never about a virus. It’s about control. It was very evident this lady with the chin mask with nose/mouth exposed has never had any power in her life and here she is finally getting to boss ppl around. Well Karen you lost a customer.

Julie Thalheimer

Good

Derrald Weselowski

Great business

Fred Jones

I worked at the location for 7 years. When it was purchased by PR Petroluem it changed from an Esso to Canco. I am a very customer service driven person, I want people to come into a warm, friendly and clean environment. I was treated poorly for the last year of my employment (I found another place of employment that values their employees). I would show up (at Canco) and find the place a complete mess before my shift, so I would get busy and start cleaning the place up. Well, least to say I was wrote up for it. I was also wrote up for not responding to texts or calls (on my cell phone that was paid for by my part time employer). Canco is not what they claim to be, they will treat people terribly and even turn away those that heat with propane in the cold because they feel they are the propane police (They will send you away saying it is illegal to transport propane in a Cab (it is, however that is up to the Cabbie to enforce that) even if it is in the negatives and that is your only source of heat. It is the attendants responsibility to ensure the tank is safe to fill and meets all the requirements (it is within date and that there is no damage to the tank) to fill it). I hope that they can get the staff that care about customers, are able to communicate with the customers.

Stephanie Davies

Great place to wash your vehicle. Nice bays.

Rana Lehoux

The only reason I'm giving this planet e 3 stars is because if their new points/rewards program they have, plus they have a decent selection. Otherwise,I would be giving them either 1, or NO stars at all. I am an older disabled woman, definitely no threat, or into any mischief. However, when I found myself with a broke down vehicle, with a dead cell phone, and NO payphone in sight, I was blatantly shut down, and VERY rudely by an older woman when I asked if I could use the phone. Even when I asked if I gave her the #, and if she could phone my help herself, she STILL refused!! I'd like to add that it was fairly late at night, and that there was absolutely nobody around. She was NOT busy, so where would the harm have been helping out someone in distress. That's NOT cool, and also offensive.

Michael Scott (Azorel)

Quick place to wash a car

Bryce Podorieszach

A good place to go to get hosed on gas prices. The only redeeming qualities of this gas bar are slightly better than average convenience store & the car wash, which is the largest in town (not the best, but definitely the largest).

A “ange” L

Their vacuums suck , really good !

dkn1963

The owner Vic got out into the cold him-self and helped wash my vehicle. Wow...Great job. Thanks Vic

Jasdeep Dhillon

Valerie Johnson

Car wash

Jason Schlosser

One of the best places in town to get propane.. sometimes their prices beat Costco.

John Kristoffersen

Helping the neighborhood stay clean. 24h spray bays, easy to use.

Richard McNeil

So I know my car has a couple dings and some pre-existing scuff marks, but this is next level laziness. Didnt bother to rinse their vrushes like I had asked, wacked my car a few time with there brushes, left some fairly noticeable scuffs in my paint and on my headlight, and paying for underspray is a pointless joke. Used to take my car here everytime it needed a wash when i lived here and everytime i get into town when i come back to visit, but this last experience was the absolute worst car wash ive ever had for the money they charge, would highly recommend just doing it yourself

Terrance Snider

I have visited the canco on the north shore of kamloops 4 times in the passed month. During those four visits there has been a canco employee walking through out the store without a mask on during the height of the pandemic here in my province. Every time i walk over to that place its NO MASK ON THE GUY. This is never going to end and its garbage companies like canco that allow it to never end. I was given the excuse that the exmployee was just outside. I WAS JUST OUTSIDE TOO!! EVERYONE THAT GOES TO CANCO WAS OUTSIDE TOO BEFORE THEY PUT A MASK ON AND CAME IN!! Thats the excuse??

Martin mojzisik

The place is old and worn down...The spray wand was constantly spraying and would not shut off. Have to go across the parking lot to the gas bar ( it's all an Esso gas station ) to get change as the wash bay attendants cant touch cash. Wanted to detail the outside a bit with my microfiber wash mits...was told they would do it with their brushes or for more money they would use a mit... but that I could do it myself...(apparently they will wash your car too) After seeing and meeting the employees there I decided to do it myself. Paid to fill my bucket with their water too, only to be harassed later and told that I can only do this if it's not busy. I spent over $20 there cleaning our car... I consider it their EXIT FEE! OFF MY GRID!

Mike Kilborn

great lil spot. Gas up, snack aand a car wash to go

Benjamin Atkinson

It's the only convenience store before you hit downtown

Tanya Alexander

Always go there for that midnight craving when my burner wont burn out everything i needed thankyou

Rob Lee

Pulled in to full service as all other pumps were full. Pump read "please pay inside" I proceeded to go inside to pay for fuel, after some confusion from the clerk, the pump attendant was asked to come inside, were he claimed to have put $15 of 87 octane in my truck (under his own accord) After assuring them both that I had just pulled up, and wanted to get fuel. Pump attendant continued to imply I was wrong, and that I had told him to put $15 in. After finally speaking to a manager, I was able to pay for the fuel I wanted, only to be told by the attendant "if I didn't want full service, I shouldn't have pulled up to that pump" As if that justifies allegedly putting a random octane, random amount of fuel in my truck? Manager was reasonable, but the hired help were less then compitent, and had serious bad communication skills.

Joe Dondaneau

The U-DO bays are often dirty and covered in mud. The pressure washers are often cavitating and leaking. On the bright side they never seem to run out of chemical from what I can tell and the water is always hot. As of 04/15/2019 I am now being overcharged if you use your Credit Card to activate the U-Do bays. Whatever the price it says I am going to be charged when I hit "stop" is NOT what I am being charged on my card later on, it is often 2x that amount. AVOID this place, it's really not that good.

Gianni Brown

Last 5 or 6 times at the car wash were great ..this last time they COMPLETELY scratched EVERY panel on my truck with scuff marks and banging with brush sides as well as sandy scratches literally ALL OVER!! I showed them and they are trying to escape all responsibility regarding this. WARNING.. if you have a vehicle that you love and don't want it to get wrecked then DO NOT GO HERE..devastated

Patricia Stewart

Paid for a wash and wax. New owners only two staff working at a leisurely pace. Very poor quality of wash... had to ask them to redo windshield so had to drive around after going through wash. Waxing and under carriage machine does not work... no lights to tell you what you are getting or when to stop or complete. Do not think I was given the wax ... very very poor job ... still bugs on grill when I checked the car out when I got home. Probably all products are watered down considerably to go the extra 500 washes. This place is usually very busy... no one there today so thinking it must be quality of service. Do not go here and I will definitely not return myself. Entire business in a very shabby dirty run down condition
