Reviews of Express Auto Wash Kamloops (Car Wash)

Glenda McNaught

I've had my car washed there a few times now. Am very happy with the results. My 2009 car looked brand new....a few people asked me if I got a new car. Am so satisfied, I purchased the monthly top wash, which is a fanstastic value, especially when the roads start getting mucked up. It even cleans my tires and rims.

G Fletch

Great place to get my lifted truck washed,especially like the $8 bask with optional upgrades for waxes.

Robert Deering

Best car wash in town

Mickael Maddison

A decent cleaning every time I've been there. Almost as good as the diy car wash but way faster and more convenient.

Robert Hale

Very nice and new automatic car wash. This place has all new and modern features including multiple methods of payment. There is always an attendant on duty to assist and ensure your vehicle goes into the car wash safetly. The monthly plan is a steal for those that need a car spotless all the time. Definitely worth the time to check out.

Bryce Campbell

Bright, clean, safe auto car wash. While generally don't use auto car washes, I would return here, it's convenient and cheapest option is only $8 - great for getting road grim off. NOT SUITABLE FOR WASHING MUD DEPOSITS!

Okke 'Dooder

Quick, inexpensive and does a pretty good job.

Colton Pinchin

This place is awesome. They spray off your car before even going in to create the ultimate shine. The ulimited wash is 100% worth it in my mind. Premium wash even shines your tires. Never taking my car anywhere else.

Krysty Craig

The staff is helpful and amazing!!! I absolutely love getting my car washed here... and the membership is sooooo worth it!

Tim Conrad (timsbits)

Good service, quick wash, but doesn't do a small car well at all.

Victor L.Lizzi

Awesome wash!

Stefan Baldes

Don't have to leave car to get a great car wash

Neetu GK Purewal

Doesn't do a good job and scratches up your vehicle SO NOT TAKE NEW VEHICLES THRU THIS WASH

Laurie Simpson

Sadly I can not say that our car came out of there all that clean. As well it made it so a part of the rubber strip that is on our roof came off of our car.

Andrea Tisher

Second time through and I’m impressed. Glad this is at the bottom of the hill we live on! Staff are friendly, masked and helpful - good work, Carlos!

Cynthia Goold

Got our car washed here today. Very efficient. Clean facility. Staff was clean, friendly and attentive. Easy to use walks you through the order and payment of your car wash. Dryer works well. The only thing I would say is the front grill didn't get buffed very well in the cleaning process and we had to pull over and wipe down the front and rear of the car to get it clean better. Rates as low as $8 for a basic wash....$13.95 for next level wash....Two more levels that I didn't catch the price of. Otherwise happy with the service. Will go again!

Cindy Hewitt

1st time always fun

HERMANN WEISS

Awesome truck wash ????

Nayan Rajgor

Went 3 times for car wash. 1st experience was good. 2nd wash, bent my license plate a bit. 3rd wash bent the license plate a lot.

Keith Sukut

Awesome car ????wash. Very friendly people and cleans your car Awesome.

Kenneth Patrick

Awesome car wash for sure.

D C

Done a fine job getting the ole diesel shined up

Carey Nicholson

Only place I'll take my car now for a wash

Alana Aspinall

Fast & efficient... 4 stars as I think slightly over priced. Thx Tammy & team for the reply ... memberships are helpful for local folks. Not so much for the occasional (out of town) customer - perhaps a punch card?!

Alex

Friendly staff always a breeze going through this car wash...

Emery Giesbrecht

Not sure why, but my kids love this car wash. It does a reasonable job on cleaning the van too.

Blake Carstensen

The team brings a positive and enthusiastic attitude with very good hours of service which provides a refreshing experience that is hard to find in Kamloops. I believe it says something when the ownership/management is willing step in any of the various duties, from running the business to being a wash attendant. This place offers monthly rates which pay for itself in about 3 washes. The speed is pretty good even during busier time, and if you use this to maintain your vehicle, it does a good job. Don't rely on any automatic car wash for a deep clean, it just can't compete with a hand wash.

Deanna Schroeder

Best wah I have ever had. Even better than the one in Coquitlam and that was awesome. Pay kiosk was cumbersome

Sir Nicholas Trowski

First time. Feels weird when you can't see anything but still moving. Its like going through the jungle. Elephants spraying water at you. Then it feels like your plowing through the dense jungle. Branches rubbing against you. Bam right in to a soapy marsh. Then the octopus tentacles come out of nowhere. Blast through the waterfall, and the lions roars at you. And your done. As my daughter described it. Lol. Cars clean. Check it out. Bring your kids.

Mike Bruno

*thanks for reaching out about your policy ill stop buy next week * Decent car wash although it didnt totally clean my hood it was grimy in one spot but it was pretty dirty so i give them the benefit of the doubt

Bullet Empire

Recently tried this auto-spa out and loved it! Reasonably priced and did an awesome job cleaning my vehicle!

Randy Bahan

Best price if you purchase the unlimited monthly wash pass. Brilliant idea ???? ????????

Kay Hussain

Took my car for a spin on the Coquihalla, as a result my car desperately needed a wash. Express was the perfect stop. Car looked great after the wash and polished. No residue left from the products after the wash and drying was great so no streaks. Will definitely stop on the way into town.

Sabby Baath

Best car wash in the town!

D GRAVED

Vaccuming was bad. They cant even pull hair out of a basic felt floor. Would be better if they had a brush attachment. Which one would expect for three bucks.

Laurie Fairbrother

They are friendly people that work there and in love there car was haven't tried the vaccum but I will

Michael Ronneseth

Fast and generally thorough cleaning of our car. The system is pretty good at getting all dirt off even when it's been on there for a week or so.

Jamie Lynne Alexander

Waited in a car wash line for an hour for a sub par wash

Greg Marshall

No waiting. Fast courteous service.

B D

got a platinum wash. it did a great job on my truck, but I wish the undercarriage spray and rust inhibitor was a bit more powerful. I actually went back for a rewash because I wasn't convinced that the platinum package has the rust inhibitor, so the guy ran me through gold. same situation though, so I guess it's just not a very intense undercarriage spray, and I don't know what rust inhibitor is sprayed but more should be used. car is clean, though, so there is that!

Rob Steed

I've heard it's good, my friend goes there every time she needs her jeep clean but this time it was closed. Cones up saying closed, no explanation and no one answered the phone when I called. I was a little disappointed but I'm sure it was just a hiccup, I'll be back.

Dan Parsons

Good value on the monthly plan

Keegan Emsland

I visited the auto spa a few days ago and had the misfortune of loosing a reflector off of my car, when I brought it up with management there were very sorry and did everything they could to make sure I left happy. Overall good experience.

Kane Gagen-Parry

Got sent away because my car was too dirty. Don't go here if you want to actually wash your car.

Cookie Parker

Very convenient and great staff

Troy Klassen

Just went here, and would never again. If you want to pay $20 to ruin your paint then go ahead, but I'll let the picture speak for itself.

Gerry Sheena

Best car and truck wash ever

Laura Kingston

Car was to dirty?

Terris Purkiss

Love getting my car pampered when I come to town. It usually needs it after the eight hour drive.

Alana Mactavish

Love that during the winter they power wash the grime off

Dave McClenaghan

It did a really good job. All bugs gone on windshield. Just a few spots on front grill chrome. Tires and wheels look amazing! Back liftgate, bumper and glass exceptionally clean. Great customer service!!

Lois Hirtz

Great service and a good job on the vehicle

Shae-Lynn Forseille

Great customer service. I bought the platinum wash for my jeep and it did a great job of cleaning my vehicle. I'll definitely be coming back.

Paul Janota

Always a good clean and friendly staff. Would be great if we could by the membership right at the pay kiosk though.

Peter LeGresley

Did a great job!!

Mark Doratti

Clean, quick and decent wash. Places not washed could have been handled by staff with their hoses before entering the tunnel.

K Lid

The car was is pretty good. Membership is worth the value. There can be a major issue with traffic when the line into the wash is long. It can back up onto Hugh Allan snarling the intersection at Pacific Way. There needs to be a better system to prevent the lineup from impacting road traffic. They’ve been closed a lot lately, presumably due to the cold weather. It would be nice if they put updates on their website or maybe a Facebook page regarding weather related closure so that you don’t make a trip there to find out they are closed due to weather. I have gone once when they were closed due to mechanical issues and they provided a voucher for a premium wash which is great customer service. However, when you have a voucher, you have to honk your horn to bring the attendant over to input a code, you can’t do it yourself. This slows the line and I’m sure is frustrating for the attendants.

Glen Woytuck

Very good people, but the machine doesn't do a great job of washing.

Jay Chaudhari

Nice car wash but got a scratch on my side mirror even it was in close position.

Melissa Benson

They’ve finally out garbage cans at the exit for the tape and plastic bags they put on your car before it goes through. I wish they had someone to push your mirrors out after, or at least a place to stop to get out and do it yourself.

Vin Bro

Good service. Average wash for this type of facility. No tire care option like some other other less expensive full service washes. They secured the rear window wiper and gas flap, on my Q5, with painters tape, so those areas didn't get washed. Also, they didn't advise me of this or offer to let me go without tape at my own peril. As I was unaware it was there, the tape was still on the vehicle after I drove away.

Maneesha Kumari

Cheap, quick and easy. We used it on our way back from Kamloops to Victoria

Tanya Pellett

Awesome car wash!

Garrett Niessen

Do a great job. Vehicle always clean and staff are friendly.

Adam Marsh

Gets vehicle clean-ish. I've tried the low end option and the highest end option and they both seem to do the same to the vehicle. There are usually still spots left needing a wipe down regardless. Make sure that you are ok with them touching your mirrors to fold them in and adding masking tape to anything that "looks like it might be loose". They do have a re-wash if not clean policy but I shouldn't have to go through more than once to get my car clean. Still good for a quick cheap spray down if you aren't worried about your paint (and a fun experience for the kids).

Timithy Parks

Best in town

Trudi Q

A wee expensive, but if it's broke they make it right. If its dirty the first time round, they fix it....and make it RIGHT.

Dainsyn Inzueffyn

Honestly pretty quick and painless. Overall I give it an 8/10. Price is fair on all accounts. Waiting in a line up during busy times takes about 20 minutes so be sure to have patience with everyone around you. When it's not busy, like late at night, it's a harmless 5 minute wash, long and lengthly process and results are impressive. Only odd things I find are that they put a plastic bag over the rear wiper blade most times but sometimes they just leave it. Not sure what the overall reason for it but... Next down side is the entrance, the only access to the entrance is if you are heading to Costco, that's it, you cannot take a left into the entrance from Dairy Queen side. Cool prices on memberships, definitely check those out, approximately 4-6 washes a month would pay for a month membership of unlimited car washes.

Joel Moross

Friendly customer service. for $16 I expected my car to be clean, Disapointed.

yo bussey

Great place to treat your baby to a bath. Quick, friendly service. The basic wash is reasonably priced, but I find it doesn’t really do enough There are however many pricer options and the urge to buy the next tier can be overwhelming. It is your baby after all. Can get busy at times, especially since they sell unlimited passes. Access in and out can be somewhat difficult at busy times.

martino Villadari

Probably the best attraction in kamloops. Always busy which is nice to see community supporting a new business. Many car wash options with easy to used digital menu and well organized staff prepping your car before entering the automatic car wash. My car has not always come up sparkling clean. Sometimes soap streaks and still dirt on despite paying $20 with many extra. The very basic wash was also tried and your car goes through a speed of light with barely any brush touching it. Still better than esso car wash or mobile 1 for a bit cheaper or same. By default, will continue to go

cuardaigh

They put my mirrors in and always polite. The machines do a great job.

Michelle Embury

Love this place!

August Caprian

Too cool. Quality service

Factory Dad

Does a pretty decent job for automated wash. Kids loved the colors.

Harry Griffin-Beale

Awesome Car wash!!

Hardik purohit

Good people but I would prefer touch less car wash. My car paint got damaged during car wash. When I went to my Toyota dealership they said that they had two to three clients who came with the same issue from the same place. The car wash just cost me over $300..

YASIR ARAFATH

Eventhough express there is no inside cleaning service

Ben Fraser

A very good car wash.

Anthony Parkin

Decent value and my truck came out mostly clean. Lots of optional add on service if desired.

Piston Broke

The car wash does a good job but they always want to fold mirrors in so they don't get washed. Also, they want to put a weird rear wiper condom on the rear wiper for "liability purposes". I always have to tell them not to do that. I go there to get the entire vehicle washed, not just certain parts. Overall, they do a good job.

Quality Qontrol

Only one in town that actually cleans the vehicle. Get the extras too, my truck's black and she's always shinin' when I get out.

Ira joseph

Now the best car wash in Kamloops,

sheldon slack

I paid 28 bucks for a wash on my truck didn't even get rid of the bugs from my windshield front grille and bumper.! Worst 28 dollar car wash I have ever been to. The guys didn't even degrease the front or windshield like they do when i spend 16 bucks. Guess when you pay extra money thinking you will have an extra clean truck you get ripped more !

Sarah Penner

Definitely the worst customer service on the planet. I went to this car wash with my partner one evening, never having been to an Express Wash before (only washworld and the like). There were no staff so after we paid we drove through (there was no signage indicating that we should wait for staff). After the wash completed, a staff member appeared and began berating us for “using the car wash wrong.” Apparently we were supposed to have known she “was in the bathroom,” and that we should feel awful “because we could have broken something.” Not only was she not there (and the process of paying and figuring out the car wash track took about 7-10 minutes, it’s not like we zoomed through), not only did she not offer us another car wash that would have been done correctly, she berated us (I’m not trying to be dramatic, it’s truly the only word as she thankfully didn’t raise her voice). I’ve worked in customer service all my life, retail and hospitality—I’ve never received abuse like this even from a retail customer on Boxing Day. I of course have no issue with her using the bathroom, but she should have a left sign indicating to wait for her, and she shouldn’t have spoken to us like that at all. I’m really appalled.

Felix Jamie

Came through thanksgiving weekend 2020 asked the attendant if my trucks winter tires would fit was told it would be fine about half way through the wash malfunctioned and my f250 was picked up and thrown around inside the wash ripping my front plate bracket lights inside my bumpers pulled my exhaust off aswell damaged one of my rims. Was told to be patient and it would be taken care of emailed back and fourth. Well it’s been 14 months nothings been done from the car wash or the owner supported the business in our family’s cars a few times a week since it opened and now just out of pocket . Shouldn’t have to feel like the bad guy when you pay for a service you should get the service not a damaged vehicle still covered in soap with no resolution to date

emily bara

came there and went through justice was his name im pretty sure he was awesome and the car wash was phenomenal

Timothy Lapierre

The car wash was great but the attendant out front blasted my weights on my rim out so now my car has to go to the shop to get rebalanced

Danny Mazzelli

My car has not once ever come out clean but the rewash policy helps an the staff are super nice and respectable people

Lois Thiessen

It was quick and easy to use.

K Ehbear

Took my car in for a wash and it chipped my paint all over my hood and side doors. I should have reversed out after I saw the car in front of me leave with his bumper falling off! I’ve used touch less washes before with no damage. I WILL NEVER come back and warn everyone I know to avoid!

James Jones

Beautiful car washed and Spa my only concern was did not clear the rear of the vehicle very good

Stephanie Isnardy

Amazing car wash! Friendly staff and did a good job washing our truck. Will go again.

Dana A

Love this new car wash that recently opened close to me, $44.99 monthly platinum washes is a killer deal, keeping my car fresh in the winter! Sucks you can’t take bike racks or roof racks through though.

Moira Clark

Ya it made my car shine again

Jas M

Used the self-service vacuum. The suction of the vacuum isn't really good on one side other side was ok. Nice to have a compressed air option there but the hose isn't long enough to go to the back or the far side of the van.

Ashkan Kolaei

Perfectly situated and very reasonable pricing. Only carwash I go to in Kamloops.

Kylie Thompson

This is the second time I have been to this car wash. Both times, staff have been fantastic, helpful, friendly and professional. However, both times I have left very unsatisfied with the 'washing' portion of my experience. First time, I tried out the basic $8 bronze wash, car got wet thats about it. Second time, just a couple days ago, I purchased the $13 silver option. My car was not overly dirty, but there were a few bug splatters and hoppers on the grill. Expected this wash to actually 'clean' the car, but I yet again was left disappointed and with my grill still full of grasshoppers. It didn't even touch the dirt under the wheel wells and left water stains everywhere. 3rd time lucky they say...not sure if I will be back. *Photo attached is AFTER the carwash. Update: 29 Sep: Thank you to the Express AutoSpa team and to Kyle who made my latest experience (today) a reason to return. Thank you very much for responding to my review and offering a complementary wash, this was very much appreciated. As always, fabulous service. I will be back.

Nicole Fowles

My car has never looked so clean! Exceptional customer service and overall really great experience! I will be coming here every time my car needs a wash! 100% recommend!

Scott

Wash does a nice job and is reasonable price. Only carwash in town i know of that offers a monthly wash plan as well and its a great price

Lynn Stenson

Not such a good job at washing car now

Chris Korytko

Pretty decent wash, good value

Nazir Bharmal

Excellent car wash with excellent service, great staff and following all the COVID-19 protocols!!

Ray Hebert

Glitches to the express wash meant a very long wait and only an okay wash... Especially the windshield bugs... Even with the platinum package wash selected.

J Wilky

Can't say enough good things about the staff and customer service. Thanks again to Marcco for going above and beyond, plus a great product at a reasonable price!

K R

I’ve tried going here for the last time. I’ve taken my wife’s suv and my work truck here and been disappointed both times. This is the only car wash that doesn’t spray soap on the vehicle before entering the car wash. The first time I went with basically a clean car other then the bugs on the front and was put through twice and the vehicle was still dirty in the same spots. ($18 wasted). The second time was this morning with my once again basically clean work truck that had a bit of dust and bugs, once again the vehicle came out the same way it went in. (12.95 wasted). It’s to bad that this car wash isn’t providing a car wash that cleans the vehicles like it’s supposed to and good old Cozy clean is way better value. I would have definitely got a monthly membership if this place had done a good job.

Little Bits

Took my brand new truck after 3 weeks of owning it. Got a scratch up the middle of my hood. Pictures where taken by staff and a report was made. I have still not received a reply nearly 3 weeks after the incidence.

Genna Batryn

What a net experience, Kyle was so friendly and helpful (hope that was his name) super knowledgeable. After I had finished my was Amber greeted me with smiles to see how my experience was. Friendly staff and my are got super clean

Felicia Edwards

Very awesome. Very colorful, very efficient. I never usually write reviews but damn! Lol

Dan Telford

I see the worst car wash in town raised their prices.

megan tomlinson

Purchased the second highest package for the auto wash. Attendants were very helpful in explaining the wash options and doing a pre vehicle check ( folding in mirrors, looking for possible things that could interfere with wash etc) However, we were not informed that they had taped down our rear windshield wiper prior to running through the wash, and had found it too late on a 30 degree day - so now have to deal with getting the glue off my window. For $20, I was not very satisfied with the wash job. I have been to other auto washes and seems the washes have taken longer than this establishment. Spots on the car were missed , windshield wasn’t clean, tire shine application was spotty. Won’t be returning to this establishment.

Al Anderson

Best place in town to take your vehicle for a complete wash and wax.. ????

Bruce Krusel

Great place and no scratching.

Jack Reid

Took my 3500 dodge through the wash and it came out with the entire tailgate completely dirty. Jack. Turns out you need to take your hitch off for the system to clean the tailgate properly. Was given a free rewash, no questions asked and it came out sparkling like a diamond in a goats butt. Thanks Marco!

Jesse Hopfl

Line moves fast, nice car wash.

Lena Rainer

Love it! I only tried the basic $8 wash, but it does the trick. It is so convenient and fast and gets most of the dirt off. It did get my sedan more clean than the station wagon, there is always a little dirt left running down the rear window. But all in all very satisfied.

Brandon Moe

Terrible value. Did not remove any of the bugs from my windshield, left grease on the door of my truck that wasn't even there before, mirrors still dirty due to the fact that they fold them in, and ripped on the rubber roof rack protector on the top of my 2020 Tacoma. Save money, go to a touchless wash next time for sure. Terrible experience.

Andriy Fesun

This place makes your car shine, highly suggest getting the unlimited wash car deal if you are a regular. Thanks Marco!

Fabián Martínez

Cool car wash is even cheap of you buy the monthly membership, I am jealous we do have something like that in Calgary

Derek Dechief

Great car wash! Good tiers of wash options and staff helps guide you in to the track. Also, if you have a rear wiper, they tape it down so it doesn’t get wrecked. Little details like that are awesome! :-)

Austin McRae

Great wash

Lyne Heglin

Tried the Platinum wash hoping it would take care of the bugs but still have some on the front of my car. It was worth the try though.

JATIN JAIN

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS SERVICE TO KAMLOOPS!!! YOU MAKE MY TRUCK SHINE LIKE A DIAMOND!! I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO USE THIS CAR WASH! :)

Maggie Phillips

My car was alright the first time going to Express Autospa with still some bugs on the front and the windshield. But realistically if the bugs are left on your car for sometime with this kamloops heat it will be hard to remove. So I went back a few weeks later purchased the monthly ultimate wash to keep up with my car washes. My car sparkles everytime I use it. Bug free now . I have the most beautiful sparkling clean car. To sum up my experience the staff are super helpful and exceptional quality service. So all I can say is don't complain if there are bugs left on your car, you may need to regularly wash your car

Joban Kang

Great customer service. And a great wash! Carlos went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the result.

Nerida Hygh

Enjoyed the experience. Watched an employee pull of a guys sideview mirror. Had our antenna removed as it could get busted off - but they dont put it back on after. Other than that - the brush was kinda fun.

Sanjay Kosmadia

Quick professional service and a great wash on my vehicle everytime!

Bb Floors

Awsome wash

lk salter

98 % clean

Lea-Ann Beaubien

Good value, friendly staff, I will definitely go back

Spencer Voykin

Wanderful

Alisina Hajizadeh

Convenient

Sarab Ahluwalia

3 nights in a row I drove after work to get my car washed just to find the place "temporarily closed for maintenance". My car was covered in dirt and I had to wash it from a different car wash even though i pay a monthly subscription here. Not cool!

Samantha Bauer

Amazing customer service and my car has never looked cleaner! Best car wash in Kamloops! :)

Linda Dawyduik

I went and washed my car end the front end under the license plate was still dirty I called they gave me a free wash and when I got home I looked again and with still dirty in the same spot right under the license plate that's pretty sad for paying that much money and it doesn't do a full wash

Heather Schack

Awesome car wash

Doug Hallat

Pretty good, except for having to remove trailer hitch and turning mirrors in.

ABDUS SUBHAN

I had a problem with the vacuum machine the other day but they refunded my money and give me a free car wash. These were really co-operative and the car wash was awesome. Very good customer service.

Tasha Harder

I like this new place but it doesn't always get my truck clean.

Randy G

Did a great job. Truck was nice and clean.

Colton Barker

It handles my Ram 3500 without issue. True clean.

Miranda Flack

I went here for a car wash, the first time I went the brushes pulled mirror back (that the staff had asked me to pull in). With that said over all it washed ok so I gave it a 2nd chance. On my second time it pulled my back wiper down and broke the arm. The company didn't do anything so I had to get it fixed on my own. Also my husband tried to get his truck cleaned and as it has a tidy tank in the back he was told to leave (not in a very nice manner). If you like your vehicle I do not recommend this place.

Scott Withrow

My truck looks amazing, tires are shiny. Staff was great to deal with.

Mary Lupi

Best Car Wash ever!!
