My favorite chamois in the city. They always make my beast look amazing. I recommend getting the luster shield with every wash!
Nice service
It was very busy but it didn't stop them from doing a great job cleaning the car. Well organized and worked hard to get us out the door fast and satisfied.
Told me to go to silver and they would get all the bugs off. Didn't happen. Had to turn around and get them to reclean the windows.
My Vehicle came put with scratches amd scuffs ... they denied it . They said "it would be consistant with every vehicle " pfff
love this place....great service
Had to ask an attendant to still clean my car of coffee stains after they said it was finished. Doghair was still all over
Loyal customer. Go every three weeks or so. Today was disappointing to say the least and it wasn't busy, car was left in some areas like it was rushed and or not touched. Staff is always friendly. Will still return. Everyone is allowed a one off.
Your car is actually clean. With some places that charge less, your car is not really fully clean.
Good value for the money
Good price great job
Always happy with the wash, they do a good job here. Makes my car look brand new!
Quality of work has gotten increasingly poor. Disappointed with finished product especially at the price point.
best quality work
Good service.
Quality of clean has gone downhill over the years.
Ok
Got an exterior wash...must have taken 1/2 hr
The "owner" is exercising their "prerogative" to deny service to customers using fleet cards or accounts due to the "uncertancies" of present. They dont want our business, I will find another place. Shameful.
Service wasn't bad. Unlike the location near Kildonan place. My Jeep was cleaned well but exterior was dried very well.
Service was fast but not really the best since car still dirty for the price you pay.
Fast today
Did very good job on headlight cleaning
I had to get them to redo the inside as they missed alot, but they were more than happy to do it. I would definitely go back again. My vehicle has never been shinier on the outside
I usually go to this location and happy with the service, The last time I went there (August 08, 2014) we went through confidently knowing my vehicle was in good hands - thought wrong. My car went through with no dents, and came out with a large dent on my driver side panel. They said it was because the car was 12 years old and it was our fault. I don't see how it is? Seeing as it was in their building, using their supplies, staff that work for them, machines that are own and operated by the CHAMOIS. I was disappointed that throughout this entire incident there was no apology. I am taking responsibility of my actions and claiming my vehicle damage with MPI. They have lost my business,family's, friends and potential clients who see this review and who have shared our hellish ordeal via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, word of mouth and whatever social media output possible.
Hard working employees
Line moves fast enough, still budget 30-40 for the entire transaction.
Good and quick service
It's good fast service the only criticism I have is that my car is standard and not everyone there knows how to drive it so they stalled it a couple time and the also couldn't start it as it has a safety feature which I had to show them.
Love taking FLEXIE for a Gold wash
Pretty clean establishment environment is definitely friendly
Waited forever! Not in line, but once it was in it took 45 minutes! Insane.
I have never gone through this location and ended up with a clean car. It's fast enough, but the quality of service isn't great. I will only go there when I'm in a jam and need my car cleaned quickly.
Car goes in dirty. Car comes out clean. ‘Nuf said.
Long lines, long wait for a passable car wash experience
ATTENTION owners of high value and luxury vehicles. Do not trust the integrity of vehicle with this company. I recently took a Mercedes-Benz for a car wash, and they scratched the leather steering wheel while getting on the vehicle. When bringing up the scratch to the management they reacted aggressively, and without looking into the issue, they said that they never had or would never had this issue before. They drive and handle the vehicles without care, speed up and break abruptly, and this is the perfect way in which accidents, like the scratch in my steering wheel, will happen. I had another incident with them about the handling of my vehicle, and it had to come to this so that I learn my lesson. I hope you save yourself the grief, and visit another local car wash. Finally, I am not the first customer that has dealt with the same issue with this company. Please see reviews, or screenshot about a customer who had a similar experience.
Good value.
I wish I could add pics cause iam sure the manager would offer to rewash this 2019 ram truck for 32 dollars disappointed
I really don't think our vehicle ever looked so good. Worth the time and cost for sure. I would have rated 5 stars, but have to say that we needed to attend to our windows the next day. No streaks, but as they defrosted, a film was there that impeded vision and had to be removed. Going to repeat the visit for sure.
Friendly staff and fast service, good place to get your car washed. I enjoyed the experience.
Usually pretty busy but it's still a good place to get your car washed and looking like new.
Love a clean ride.
After reading lots of reviews here, I had low expectations but you know what, they did a pretty good job for a reasonable price. It was pretty straightforward and easy, but they get 3 stars because my boot wasn't vacuumed properly (which I didn't notice until after I left the place), and I had to call a guy out because the wash didn't remove some bird poo on the car. Somewhat disappointing for them to miss a couple of significant spots (white bird poo on a grey car) after all the effort, but it got taken care of with a minimum of fuss.
Buy the yearly or monthly pass to save some money
The staff were nice and they took good care of my car.
They always do a great job at this location- I'll be there every two weeks :)
The service is fast and the car was clean. They work hard there.
Fast service
At this visit they were not very busy, so was happy with the cleaning job they did on my truck.
They ALWAYS bend my lisence plate. The rub Down inside is a joke.
They do a great job of cleaning, and it's a very affordable price for vaccuming, wiping, and washing on the outside! We did have to wait for a while, but it was super busy so that's ok.
The kids that were hand drying my car near the end of the wash left 6 different scratches in swirling motions on my car. My car is black. The scratches were white... I spoke to the manager by the name of Ryan Thompson, who rudely denied that his car wash made those scratches. I purposely inspected my car before the wash for this purpose... he showed me a really crappy video of the wash on my vehicle and denied any damage that was done as their responsibility. Only go to this car wash if you’re a gambler.
Good service
Fast service, I prefer the external only wash, it's priced just right at 10$
Excellent customer service. Did a great job cleaning my car.
There was a small problem with the washing of the front of the car I mentioned it to them and they fixed it no problem great service
Great job. Very happy
Great service and wait times were reasonable. Would highly recommend
Your daily reminder that you get what you pay for. The chamois broke off a the emblem on my car and see no problem witb that. They made every excuse in the book but admitted they watched it fall off during the cleaning. Nothing was offered to make it right and Kyle the manager told me to order one on Amazon. They wanted to give me a $25 car wash to go away, this is after I came back for a rewash. They will break things on your car and do nothing about it. Save your money and go to anywhere else.
I'm really a customer who has frequently visited Chamois Kildona, and I've never felt bad about the attention of the guess service, and the application of silicone on the tires was horrible I just feel like I lost my money this time.
Fast friendly service and my truck is happy.
Very professional service and all COVID-19 protocols being followed. It seems like they have been quicker lately.
Only complaint is they don't pay enough attention to the wheels with a gold wash. They are always still dirty and have i clean them myself. Usuakly a pretty good job on the inside the vehicle which is what brings me back.
They could do a better job with cleaning the inside of the car
This place always has issues with interiors.
I purchased the gold wash for my Mother’s Day gift and it wasn’t worth it. I shouldn’t have given them a third chance.
Unfortunately they did a very poor job of cleaning my vehicle despite my purchasing the gold plus package. Dog hair looked as though it wasn't even touched, windows were extremely streaky and carpeting was still very sandy. Next time I'll spend 5 bucks and do it myself, total RIP off. They treat you like a number to scoot you in and out as quickly as possible. Very dissatisfied.
Good job
Would have been 5 stars for the trip because I got everything I wanted, but I asked for a manual dry as it was an extreme cold warning day and I didn't want any freezing. Stopped at grocery store in way home... Couldn't open the truck.
I ordered a COMPLETE and some didn't get done because some paperwork not done when I dropped off... the car was done very well otherwise.... just disappointing on $300 ➕ wash....
Love a full clean and especially not having to do it myself.
very fast effective way to clean your transportation
I received the best car wash today from Chamois. This is a good improvement from my previous experience. Kudos guys!
Got a car wash today, car interior was still dirty afterwards, not wiped down properly and they broke off a strip of my LED lights and didn't even bother letting me know or apologizing. Will not be going back.
Sloppy work, I have to bring back my car twice. But its good to have a place to bringing your vehicle in a not so great weather
One of the little pleasures in life is seeing your car come gleaming out of the car wash. Chamois never disappoints.
Rather wash my vehicle myself
Definitely my go to for auto cleaning services.
Very poor job when they weren't even busy
They do the best job in town could vacuum the drivers carpet a little better but I wouldn't go any place else. Great service and super friendly professional staff. I recommend them to all my friends
My god they did an awful job. If I’d had more time I would have went in and made them redo it. I took pics right after I got in my car and will post them.
Do a good job
I got my car wash they did not clean it well ..poor service
Great staff. 25$ for a full amazing wash inside and out and if it isnt to your standard, go through again for free!
They take pride in their work. Gold level wash guarantees a rewash within 24 hours for free. Missed spots are taken care of by the staff.
Poor wash and was not busy. Never even took the gray off from under the dirt. Black truck which shines good was dull and covered in smudges of dirt. Even outside of windows were not clean. Come on !!
Excellent service
The service has definitely declined, not sure if it’s a change in staff or a change in the cleaning products. The last two times they have left the inside of doors dirty, not even wiped, the backseat rugs are not vacuumed and the dash is still dusty. Not the kind of service I’d pay for again.
Efficient staff! Price is appropriate except for the cheap car scents that are sold for $2 (doesn’t smell more than 25 cents to me). Free coffee would be a good perk but there is Tim Horton’s nearby. Other than that all is good!
Have always been happy with the exterior I wash I receive from The Chamois however I often have to touch up the dash and/or windshield myself after due to the rush job they do. There is often a wait in line so I would expect they would do a better job of the interior.
Waste of money,had gold wash this week and checked when home that seats were not vaccumed,door pockets were uncleaned,mats were not cleaned properly.would rather wash myself at coin wash next time.I wonder if i got that worst wash on gold,how bad their silver and the basic would be!
First time in many years will be going back
Horrible horrible beyond horrible customer service. (Don't recommend this car wash service to anyone, use at your own risk!!!!) They punctured the tire of my van, came out that way, asked the supervisor when it came out he just looked at it and shrugged and walked away. I called management after having to spend 180 in total to replace my tire. And they told me "prove it." !!!!!!Take your vehicle in at your own risk!!!!
My go to interior car wash for years! Fast service and friendly staff!
Gold Service SUV - exterior was spotless. Interior was awful. Trunk and seats not vacuumed. Dash was full of dust. At $23.99 my kids would have done a better job.
Low or out of some products, service OK, Store clean.
Got the gold wash, truck came out clean from the outside, dirty from the inside . Talked to them got another wash but same thing . It's frustrating.
Love a clean car and they do it well.
Love the chamois. They do such a great job. It's so nice to have my car cleaned inside and out in a matter of minutes.
They wash and vacuum my car when I'm too lazy to do it. Wish they would spend some more time cleaning the dash and consoles, looks like they just do a quick wipe with an almost clean cloth. Then again, I'm too lazy to do it myself, so I shouldn't complain.
Wow I'm impressed there very fast and clean want your vehical clean this would be the place for that i highly recommend this for you.
Good prices and very good service. Cleans inside and out... different options to choose from... hand cleaned and hand dried.. highly recommended
I had to go back because I wasn't happy with the windshields
v v nice staff and they do hard work to shine your vehicle
Fast, professional carwash
They do great job of cleaning the car quickly.
The guys did a very bad job cleaning the glass (all 6 + rear view mirrors). Never going back there again. There is still so much dirt in so many places. I would rather burn money than giving it to chamois.
It's a bit pricey and sometimes they could do a better job for the price you pay but just bring back for free rewash with gold purchase the next day
They basically pull you out of your car
(Translated) My car was not at all clean after cleaning (Gold wash). I had to complain to the management to have my car cleaned properly, but to no avail. When I got home I had to re-clean my car. I will not be going back. (Original) Ma voiture n’était pas du tout propre après le nettoyage (Gold wash). J’ai du me plaindre à la direction pour qu’on nettoie ma voiture correctement, mais en vain. En rentrant chez moi j’ai du re-nettoyer ma voiture. Je n’y retournerai pas.
Bought gold service. Sloppy work. When I looked at the car there was scratches in 3 different spots on the car that weren’t there when I took it in and in spots that are really hard to scratch(like the middle of the roof). Manager came out and proceeded to tell me how long he’s been washing cars and how the equipment is designed to not make scratches blah blah blah. In other words there was no way that these directional scratches on my roof couldn’t have been caused by his equipment. He said he’d look at the cameras to see if there was any damage caused by workers and walked away. He never took my contact info..... this place should be called the SCAM-ois. It’s one thing to do the damage but another to strong sell the customer on how your equipment is so good it couldn’t have possible in a million years ever have been damage done by these majestic brushes “cleaned before and after every shift”. Here’s a question, if you clean them at the end of the shift, why would you clean them again at the start the next day? ????. As I said, THE SCAM-OIS
Once again terrible management of Bays at getting In today.
Woman at desk is sorta rude, and tried to charge us extra beyond the originally quoted price — without any idea why.
Terrible. Inside is still very dirty and they didn't even throw out the garbage in the car.
Update. The general manager reached out and offered to try and buff out some of the scratches for me. He mentioned giving my car a wash beforehand, but I wasn't expecting an interior clean as well, so that was a nice surprise. I do appreciate the effort to try and clear up some of the marks, but I'll still need to go to my dealership to get paint for the rest of them out of pocket. The person I met at this location didn't seem to be interested in talking it out with me, so I just said thank you and went on my way. I left a 0 star for the chamois on Reenders and thought I'd try St. James. I was impressed. I thought they were doing a way better job until my car came out damaged. I called, and the guy on the phone had great customer service and seemed like he was really going to look into this for me but never called me back. I take very good care of my vehicle and definitely didn't have these chips and scratches on both my driver and passenger side door handles before. Take pictures of your vehicle before coming here.
I love getting chamois. Fast. Convenient. And so clean.
Everything's great. One time they didn't wash the dirt in and around the rims.
It was my second visit. Much better know done than my first visit which have left a lot of dirty spots on my car. As I said, second team was better. Fast service and good value for money.
They some how screw up something with my car wash every time
Pretty good service. Did not listen to everything I told them needed attention. A little expensive but fair priced!
Fully cleaned my car. It felt so good to drive it after.
$20 and you get a clean for the inside and outside of your vehicle can't beat that
Excellent service, my car was nicely cleaned, but the wait was horribly long (I was there for an hour, yet the car only takes about 15 min to clean)
Okay service
Paid 20$ for 20 extra minutes and felt like I wasted time and money
Quick car wash.
Car was st it's best fast service
I was pressed for time but had a filthy car. I decided to give the Chamois a try. First and last time. My wheels looked like they never got cleaned at all, the lower sides were covered in dirt still, and the rear had areas where it never got cleaned. Exactly why I never go through an automatic wash. I ended up having to go and wipe it all down so that it didn't look stupid half "clean" and the rest dirty. What a complete waste of time and money. I'll never go back.
I am totally disappointed
The service is quick but i was not impressed by the shabby cleaning work on the car
They do a decent job. It's what you would expect, a bunch of kids running around trying to clean cars as quick as possible. I've never been totally satisfied going there. Whether it be dog hair just pushed into corners, or dirt in places that are too difficult to just run a rag over. The image is from my last visit.
Don't wast your money coming here. They do a absolutely horrible cleaning job.
Greatest service
Happy with the quality and service. Did a great job even at a busy time of day.
Excellent service
The crew today did a really good job, I was very satisfied. Hope it doesn't rain now! ????
I drove to Winnipeg from BC, collecting about 4 million bugs. I could barely see through the winshield and the grille and bumper were worse. They did an awesome job to restore my truck to like new condition for an extremely reasonable price. Thanks Chamois!
I’d like to preface this review by stating that I had come here with a voucher, and my criticism might have changed if I had paid myself. But anyways, I came into the Chamois with mediocre expectations and left feeling that I had my expectations fully met. I had received a full Gold wash, covering both the exterior and interior. My first complaint comes from the lack of instruction on what to do as a customer. I pulled into a stall and was greeted with a few instructions, which were easy to understand and simple. What wasn’t listed, was that if you wish to get your trunk vacuumed and cleaned, you’re supposed to leave the trunk open as you pull into a stall. I found out I wasn’t getting my trunk cleaned when I saw a sign indoors, stating the above. Bummer, but nothing too bad. Secondly, I had notified the clerk when I first pulled in about a small chip in the paint that was peeling on a door, and that they need to be careful around it. She assured me it’d be fine. But after my car was finished, I noticed it had grew in size by about 50%. Sucks again, but it’s bound to happen, and definitely could’ve been the automatic car wash and not the employees. And my final complaint (don’t even want to call it a complaint) is that the rags they use for drying could be a little cleaner. My paint was already in pretty bad shape, so I didn’t really mind, but I think scratches are bound to happen. Overall, I really enjoyed the interior cleaning and wish I could pay for only that, and the exterior cleaning was better than I’ve done in the past, but nothing that I’d return solely for. If an interior only cleaning option was available, I’d be a frequent customer.
The single biggest waste of money I've made all year i paid $33.59 for the manager special which includes interior and exterior the gold wash and lusta shield. My vehicle had visible dirt on the bumper the back seats weren't even done and worst of all they even stole my own detailing supplies out of a closed rear compartment in my trunk. They even stole my brand new can of tire shine and didn't even shine my tires. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. Workers are argumentative i spent $6 and 10mins at the coin wash on Sargent and got a way better result. Best of all when you don't go to the chamois you won't have to worry about theft.
Normally good service. Got my truck home last week though and the passenger rocker panel and lower door were caked with mud. My fault, I guess. Should have circled the vehicle. I will from now on.
I love it, the car was clean, the 2 row seats shampooing worked great-like new look. They did all in time.
Just had the interior detailing, amazing job. Car almost like new and it most certainly is not. I was surprised to see just how well they removed stains from the upholstery. Old car looks almost new again. Just 4 hours. Seemed reasonable price.
Car was washed super fast but not clean.
they tend to do a pretty good job. most chamois do miss the exact same areas on my car though. that tends to be a small annoyance but w.e
The full car wash experience. Always busy. Staff is friendly.
That's one of its kind car wash with full detailing services.
There are better locations in the city.
It does the job except when ppl slack, then I’m snitching to the manager.
Not the best job I've ever seen really.
Horrible
Great service!
Great service as always
Very friendly and quick service.
Quick service and always polite. Took a star away because quality can be lacking at times but they are willing to fix it when asked.
Interior wasn't cleaned properly..! Employees are rushing due which it lacks quality.
Waste of time and not worth it in terms of cleaning.
Everytime I get my vehicle washed here I always have a complain because they're not doing it right anymore. Waste of time and money. After they washed it and dried it it's still dirty I mean the dash board obviously they didn't wipe it clean because you can still see the fresh dust on it. The door frame still has the dirt (film) the front grill still not clean they didn't wipe it right still wet and brown from the dirt even if you tell these guys it's like they don't care. I came back today for a rewash still the part/area that I am complaining the dirt still there so I wipe it myself as easy as that but they still missed wiping it and 4 or 5 of them are wiping it dry but still they missed a lot of area to wipe it clean. For 5 or $6 I can clean my truck better.
Good value!
We went in the morning. The service was fast and friendly. We often get the Gold package when arriving in Winnipeg after a long buggy trip from Thompson.
Interior was as it is. Nothing was cleaned. Only did the auto wash for exterior.
The line ups can be long but typically the Chamois does a decent job on my car.
Always get a clean and fresh car at chamois
I phoned and asked them what would happen if I gave them money for service and the service was not completed properly, they said I would have 24 hours to return. I asked what if I can't return in 24 hours? She then said they would be keeping my money. I asked "Don't you care about satisfying customers?" and she said "No it doesn't matter if you're satisfied" and then yelled at me and hung up. The manager justin at reenders however, invoked customer service and did not care about the silly 24 hour policy. I will be going there next week for a free cleaning. Reenders is picking up the slack for Waverley and St James.
They clean the heck out of your car ridiculously fast. Everyone working there? They're working their butt off and it shows.
I bought $169 package And this service i got
Amazing service at pocket friendly prices. Must visit.
I feel like their services have gone downhill. My car never seems as clean as it should be for the price. I always find dirt on the floor and console after I go in for services. I understand they get busy but it seems they rush through some vehicles.
Impressive. Loved it they do all the work . 9nside and out in less than 15 min
Never completely clean.
Poor cleaning, the worst car wash unfortunately. This is how they cleaned my car, and this is the most expensive gold wash! So if you’re looking for for nice cleaning, this is not the place where you need to go. I paid $29.37 , and I’m definitely not recommend this car wash to anyone. Too bad!!!
Gold wash was a joke. My car still had dirt showing on areas on my car.
They do an OK job most of the time. The odd time they good a good job
So I re-visited, after a year of boycotting it.. around 3pm. Thinking it would be better this time. It wasn't, half my dash wasn't cleaned, my inner console has dirt all over it, and there's streaks all throughout my window. I will never visit the Chamois again. When the 1 stars are more than half of your 5 stars... Might be time to rethink your business plan.
they have different packages I usually go with gold. Once I tried platinum ,It took couple of hours but at the end I couldn't recognize my car.
The staff do an amazing job at cleaning the car. Friendly and helpful.
In and out in half hour. Got the car cleaned nicely.
Still not clean inside or out. Soap still left on car.
Wait time can be slow which rushes the hand driers into not fully drying your vehicle properly. Plus if you have a black vehicle you are going to notice swirl marks from the hand drying.
Came first time choose gold but i think I won’t come back.
Quick in and out. Too much pressure to buy extra services.
They did a great jpb on my van. They were busy yet prompt polite and fast
I used to love coming alot to Chamois car wash but over the years they have changed and not for the better. I came 3 months ago to get a full detailing for my car and my car ended up getting scratched and when I mentioned all they did was brush it and put a cream on it. Oh and my car wasn't dried properly and it ended up smelling for days. The customer service is terrible and rude to customers. They didn't offer anything to resolve the issue. This was at the st.james location.
Too expensive, never clean the truck right the first time, always have to rewash.
I brought my 2008 Mazda 3 to the Chamois on St. James Street for a gold car wash yesterday, May 26, 2018, I would usually do a wash myself but I received a gold certificate as a gift so I decided to use it, which was a mistake that I regret. I have an after market touch screen deck in my car, (a Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD double den deck) that after the car wash just so happened to stop working with the touch screen capability. I drove directly home after the wash without knowing and parked it for the night and then today (May 27, 2018) I find out that its function is no longer working. So I decided to go back to the Chamois on St. James to see how this could be resolved but I was very disappointed with the outcome. I spoke with the store manager Ryan Thompson and he was no help at all. Ryan Thompson mentions there is a disclaimer prior to purchasing your certificate saying that the Chamois is not responsible for after market accessories, but that is not true. The workers at the cashier do NOT speak any disclaimer to you before you make your purchase, also there is NO disclaimer in the cashier area warning you about after market accessories. There is ONLY a disclaimer AFTER purchasing a certificate and you are now in your vehicle and are driving around the building there is a sign with a disclaimer mentioning that the Chamois is not responsible to damage to after market accessories. There was also a worker standing outside that I showed my Gold certificate as I was driving around the building, she gave me a Gold sign that I put on my dash to inform the other employees that I am getting a Gold wash done. She also handed me a paper that I would later bring into the building to the cashier with my Gold certificate so the cashier would stamp my certificate void, staple a receipt on my paper the previous girl outside gave me, and also give me a sheet of plastic that I would use to retrieve my vehicle once it is finished being washed. There was a disclaimer on that piece of paper the worker outside gave me but again, its being presented after the fact that I purchased the certificate, and am in line to enter the building. But again, no sign or notice PRIOR to purchasing your certificate, only after you have given them your money. The Chamois also offers ZERO refunds to people who purchase a car certificate for a car wash, so that means that you are purchasing a service not knowing the risks involved until after you purchase and are driving around the building and stuck in line. This is not right or legal to have a disclaimer mentioning no responsibility to damage to after market accessories AFTER purchasing the service and with having ZERO refunds offered. I spoke with worker inside the building and she said that they use a general cleaning spray and spray the entire dash board including audio decks and wipe it down, Ryan Thompson says that's incorrect and they do not spray directly onto LCD audio decks. So for one the workers are young and uneducated on the services they provide if the worker inside had no idea how it was done. For two, Ryan Thompson also says that they do not wipe down LCD audio decks with chemicals but I find it very hard to believe that someone in the vehicle would spray the window and dash and wipe down everywhere and then switch to a SEPARATE cloth for the LCD deck, and then switch BACK to the chemical cloth to finish cleaning my interior. Ryan Thompson could NOT guarantee that a worker did not directly spray my LCD screen and says that it must have been a coincidence that my deck just so happen to stop working after the service was complete. Ryan Thompson also mentions that there is nothing that he is willing to offer me for compensation, no free car washes, just nothing (not that I am ever going to use your service again or am I going to ever recommend it to anyone in the future) he did not try and make an effort into making a customer happy. I will be speaking with the Better Business Bureau and will more than likely be speaking to you guys in the near future, thanks for nothing. Jordan
My car was super dusty, but they did a great job cleaning it up!
The worst service I've ever had. Spent 26$ and got nothing but half dirty vehicle. Then went to coin operation car wash and rewash it again. All windows were dirty and rubber mats were full of water. They missed a lot of spots. They cleaned my windows so bad I spent 20 minuts to make it clean again. I'll never ever use this terrible car wash again and will tell everybody do so.
After the car dried up white smears were visible on the lower part of the car body. Car was not properly wiped.
They did a pretty good job with most of the wash ( still dirt near the btm of my truck and wheel wells are still dirty) i asked for tire dressing and for the rims to be cleaned and that part was disappointing , i had to wipe off grease they missed on the rims. I was there after 7 pm and it looks they were rushing and wanted to go home.
It was ok
A bit expensive
This place is really nice. Quick service and my van always comes out looking great.
Decent cleaning
Had to go second time for extra clean. There were a few crumbs left. Second clean was perfect through. Very friendly staff.
Didn't vacuum the luggage area or the back seats.. other than that great service Gonna really consider doing it myself from now on.. ripped my floor mat hook holder right out of my floor mat. Now it's unsecured on the driver side. Not impressed at all. $39 dollar cleaning will now cost me more to replace the whole mat. Thanks Chamois
Service is continuing to decline, especially when it's busy. I can understand, but it can be disheartening.
Very nice job. Wiped my door seals so doors would not freeze shut.
They have always done a good job whenever I have used them.
There decent. Usually miss stuff but I get a rewash
Not always completely clean in all spots. Its hit and miss with a large turnover of staff.
They always do a great job!
Always a good cleaning job here but the fella driving the cars into the wash 2:30 pm on the 26th of February could really work on his appearance. His yellow shirt was absolutely filthy as was the rest of him. If I’d been driving the fancy Audi S5 in front of me I’d definitely not have let him get in it.
I would not suggest working here unless your a student who wants to earn a couple cash on the side. You get paid just a little more than minimum wage because of the little to no hours you get, it’s all about the weather when it comes to working here and they always push back your time and send you home early if it’s not busy cause that’s how cheap the company is. Some of the people you work with are fun and some are just questionable. In my opinion I wouldn’t take my car here for an interior clean just cause a lot of the workers do a sloppy job and rush since it’s a fast paced environment so they don’t take their time to make sure it’s properly clean. I would even say your car would probably look cleaner before entering chamois. When applying here your most likely to get hired on the spot because people come and go, so the manager will literally hire anyone even homeless people. The problem with that is most of the people who get hired do a very poor job. So if your someone who is paying bills I would not recommend this job just cause of the low salary you’ll earn. Literally a paycheque here is probably only enough to pay for your cell phone bill. I’d suggest working at McDonald’s or any other job is way better even though it’s minimum but at least you’d get guaranteed hours and not have to rely on the weather.
Good
Needed to have them clean interiors of doors properly.
$25 and 45 minutes for a small army of washers to do little more than vacuum your carpets and put your vehicle through an automatic washer. They don't seem to actively attempt to clean your vehicle, they just go through the same process regardless of which parts happen to be dirty. Save yourself the time and money, buy some armor all cleaning wipes and hit up a DIY car wash. One person with a pressure washer, vacuum and wipes can do a better job in 30 minutes than the chamois does in nearly an hour.
Great service and I always add the Lystre package for an unbeatable shine
Wow these guys are BUSY! Must be because they do a great job.
Got the gold package and my ride looks great. Great job
I took my car for a wash at 11:30am. I paid $260 for the sercice and it took 4 and half hours to finish. And they didnt do great for the price. They told me it will look new once its done. I missed my doctors appointment for that reason. This was after it was washed.
Still streaks in front window. Still need to clean after getting it cleaned.
The staff does a good and efficient job cleaning my car.
They are so racist... only willing to serve white people. Although you get a Gold car wash,they couldn't provide a deep cleaning... I won't go there anymore.
The best car wash in the world
Good for a quick interior / exterior cleaning. Offer additional a-la-carte options for advanced detailing and cleaning.
Rubber mats are dripping wet, not to mention door stops are also wet Floors poorly vaccumed, bits of leaves and grass still there dashhboard and center console were poorly wiped, you see clearly where they missed All that for a Gold Wash!
Not worthy
Not impressed
Quick service, gets the job done, don't expect attention to detail - you get what you pay for.
Fast service and overall good experiences. However, every time I've gone they've missed the same spots time and time again
Not really clean. But fast
Come here if you want your vehicle partially cleaned. Have tried numerous times, and every time there are smear marks of dust on the inside, or swirls on the exterior. I do not need to go somewhere where staff refer to me as "bro" when I'm paying $25 for a car wash. Go to Midtown instead if you want your vehicle actually cleaned.
Very bad experience.... .after cleaning car was so dirty and supervisor was arguing...customer respect is zero they don't know what they are doing that try to hide my rear seat because they make it wet while cleaning they must have left the window open.....not at all satisfied it was criminal wastage of money and time...I don't recomend any one to go to this branch I dont know about other branches....I am very upset because when my seat will dry I will surely see the patches and water stain because they are cream colour...I told supervisor to atleast dry it and he refused to do that and told me to go for inside detailing...ha ha wants to make more money on there silly mistake...!!!! You can see bugs sticking on my front bumper and registration plate and dust on my transmission panel and stain on my seat because of water they put on.....photos are attached
Great service and quality work. For that odd time they miss a spot, they’ll even fix it up at the end.
Cost $$$ for basic quality wash. Dirt spots etc. Focused more on speed and volume than with quality of wash vaccuum and dry. Youll still have some dirt.
No longer take fleet cards.
I have no complaints about the regular washing (usually get Gold and I'm satisfied). I had my vehicle completely detailed and I had a few issues which were mostly resolved. One was that when I pulled up to report for my appointment the woman taking orders gave me incorrect instructions on where to go. She then ran over and gave me a second set of incorrect instructions. Finally I called inside to find out exactly how I was supposed to do. I would chalk this up to me being new to detailing, them not usually having retail detailing customers show up in the line, and finally a fair bit of miscommunication. Another issue with the detailing is that my vehicle's upholstery was absolutely soaking wet afterwards. I was instructed to leave the windows cracked to let dry, but this was insufficient. I had to leave it running for 8+ hours with the heat on full blast and the windows open a bit. Googling tells me that an extractor would have removed more of the water, but I am no expert, so I'm not sure how usual this is. After drying, 4 water stains appeared on the seats. The Chamois was gracious enough to re-clean those spots for which I am very grateful. Absolutely every part of the car was spic and span after that, and I was very pleased with the results. It made selling my car easier; the buyer noted how clean it was and commented that I kept my vehicle well cared for.
They do great job on the outside of the car. The inside is hit and miss
Super fast service, very detailed interior clean.
I left my car for cleaning from inside as well as interior. It was my first visit with them but when i went there to pick my car, my music system was not working as well as buttons on dashboards were also not working. I called supervisor and he checked everything and noted down. I called manager lots of time and he replied me that it was not our fault and you have to solve this problem at your expenses. It’s not make sense for me. Be careful if you are going there for your car cleaning..
Good service
First of all, terrible customer service with walking out with the loss of 130$. Without a clean car. Last mother’s, I bought a 100$ gift card for my mother and she went to clean her car and there was NO money placed on the card so she had to pay for her wash. And allegedly “fixed” the card. I came back a second time and they told me I OWED money on the gift card and made me pay for my wash again. They told me to come back to talk to supervisor about this repetitive issue. Not only is it a drive to get there but waste of time. I talked to a supervisor named Kyla, she told me that there’s nothing she can do without a bank statement (I paid in cash) and could not go back in record to the day I bought it. Disappointed. Handled poorly. The staff need training on how to use gift cards. Don’t waste your money there, cause your car won’t even get cleaned and you’ll be paying.
They do a great job externally but inside of the car could use a better wipe down.
they damaged my car , took 2 days to get back to me saying it was like that was on hold for 30 min for the manager don't even bother going ain't worth the money in damage
Ok
Great job on my suv..and very polite service
Fast service
I got a gold wash done and they left scratches all along our car. They said to come back the next morning as the manager had already gone home. We went back and we dealt with a man named Ryan thompson. He discredited everything we said and wouldn't do anything for us. He couldn't even so much as apologize or own up to their mistake. I will never go here again. Unbelievable.
NEVER AGAIN!!! The floor mats was wet, visibile dirt was still left on my car and most importantly, THEY SCARCTHED MY CAR!!! I've never let anyone clean my car except myself. This was my first time and I thought they do the best job because I was driving around winnipeg (i'm new in this city) and saw all the clean cars coming out from wash and I went and go try and I had the worsy experience. So never again. I really wish they do something about it!!!
Good for a quick interior and exterior wash
Fast and friendly service. We got the Gold package and were impressed. There were a few spots missed, (lots of bugs still on the bumper/front end, wheel wells and step rails were still pretty dirty), but overall good for the price.
They do a decent job but need to change their cloths more often when cleaning windows. I find they always leave the windows streaky.
not recommended better clean up at your home i paid $237 specially told them for pet hair removal they charged for everything they could and the result was worthless.. its better to spend 3 hours yourself at home you can do a better job.. they took my car for 3 hours and i have shared pictures after the wash..even the rims were not properly cleaned.. i guess skipping work for one day and working on your car is more worth than giving them money for full detailing..
Nice place and very professional staff.
They didn't vaccume inside at all. They scratch my vehicle .they left their cleaning clothes in the car . Attitude, professionalism, customer service all zero. If you love your vehicle then don't go here .
Not satisfied with their service
Fast service and very clean vehicle when finished
Tonight the service was quick. Maybe too quick. Just a quick walk around the SUV showed a few places of dust still on that could easily have been washed off. Same thing on the inside. One seat they obviously missed a part that still had dirt on. (I have full leather interior so it would have been easy to clean). Most doors they left some garbage but took some out. Not sure why it wasn't all cleaned up. But overall the vehicle was much cleaner. Just not sure why they wouldn't completely finish the job so it's nice all around.. They also missed between seats which are hard to get at, but I was specifically told with the upgraded (gold) service they would do that. I'm not particularly happy with their job. But it's on par with others in Winnipeg from my experience.
Fine for a clean. Just don't be too picky.
They do a terrible job!!!! Not once I was satisfied with their service, I had to go back, staff poorly trained and some very rude.
Get your car washed here
Other than long lines, it is simple and quick. $22 for a wash inside and out. Don't expect perfection but they get the job done.
It would be great if they had a way to let you know when your car was done, like a buzzing pager that you get in chain restaurants.
Always a great service at these locations and I doubt it matters where you go in the city. My specifics ones are St. James and Waverley. My car/truck/SUV always come out looking and smelling great!
Love it really good service provided here
Just sit and wait they do all the work and detailing for affordable prices!
This place sucks, but we all know that.
The employees work very hard and do a fantastic job cleaning my car.
Very good place too... great service.. it's worth the wait
Always has fantastic quality and service... Definitely recommend.
Good fast friendly service ????????????
Did a great job and it was a quick turn around from the time it went in to when I got it back!
I have been a regular customer for a few years now and have used multiple services with multiple vehicles. The staff are great. One car in particular(my Son's) is a 15ish year old ride that had a grime build-up from before he purchased. It had lived where topsoil got inside often. So as a gift to him I took the car in for a detailing. Wow! What an immense change. My car is coming due before the snow flies. I will have no problem leaving the work to The Chamois on St. James. I have no complaints. Thank You Chamois.
I appreciate someone else cleaning my vehicle, so thanks Chamois! But I suggest reminding staff there shouldn't still be dirt on a vehicle or rims when it's done. Thanks for the work though!
It is a great experience. Good work, good job.
Pretty decent car wash.
Great place to get a nice clean car
Comes out clean and shiny, but ate my licence plate and holder once.
This location is the worst one in the city. They dont do a good job here. Its run by children. I usually always do the gold wash because I have a dog who likes mud and I understand my back seats needs a bit of extra attention but thats what this place was made for. I never use my re wash because its just faster to re clean what they missed myself than me having to drive all the way back there for them to try again. Today I decided to do a rewash to see if they would get the parts they missed. The first time they didnt clean one of my doors vacume my back seats or clean my center console. Ontop of not giving back one of my floor mats (its apparently lost they cant find it) I went back and the exact same spots were missed. For the most part they get it clean but no where close to the other locations. To get a proper clean it's worth the gas going somewhere else.
Not as good as it once was. Car almost always requires a touch up cleaning. It appears as prices go up, service goes down. If you're gonna spend 30 bucks on a wash, don't go at busy times. Wait for a quiet day. Makes all the difference in quality.
Always take my truck there, about twice a week. But it seems like the service has been lacking lately. I always get a sliver with hand wipe, and noticed the employees not doing a good job. The don't blow out the mirrors any more, if they're too short, they don't get the stool to stand on, so they leave my back window, center of my hood and center of my windshield with water still on it. I end up drying the rest myself in their parking lot, just so they see me. Still nothing changes.
Very poor job both inside and out.Still had coffee stains and console wasn't even wiped along with the inside of door and side of seat terrible job and spent 30.00
Terrible customer service. Fake promises during payments in the front office. Job was not done properly and few exterior spots were missed. Never going there. Thank you Chamois.
I rolled in shortly after they opened on a Saturday. No line up. My car was filthy going in and they did a great job cleaning it inside and out. I was on my way in no more 20 minutes (I should have timed it, it was really quick). Had I done it myself, it would have taken me hours and I'd be a sweaty grouch by the end! Instead, I spent the rest of my morning enjoying fresh croissants I picked up on my way home to enjoy with my coffee. Totally worth the money.
Expensive
Great service, great quality wash that has the car coming out perfectly every time. I just wish that their staff was more careful when it comes to driving the vehicle onto the carwash track as sometimes it looks quite rough.
Terrible our rims were still dirty and multiple spots on the car weren't washed properly
Have been a customer for 10 years.
Totally worth getting the gold wash!
been there for years but lately the service is lacking. Mats are not fully cleaned, cleaner left on the doors and windows, floors not fully vacuumed either. When they dry the vehicle its never fully dry and i have to do it myself outside in the cold. If there is still snow on the car around the wheels and wheel wells they barely even rinse that off before going through the machine. When you pay for a gold wash you expect a little better quality than this. Please do better.
Vey costly car wash. And They just dont care about the damage done in the wash . Little bit care should be given while cleaning.
I used their service several times in two different locations, every time interior wasn't properly cleaned (floors, panel, mats). Today they even managed to leave interior dirtier than it was before. I wouldn't recommend anyone going there paying for interior cleaning - they are not doing it properly.
A super busy car wash on a very street, St. James, there is no better car wash in the city.
Get your vehicle clean inside and out.
Best car wash in Winnipeg!
Yennooo just when you think they'd do a better job then last year when you tried... they disappointed me again I should make a portfolio of pictures on the lazy overpaid gold wash. I should just ask the homeless to clean for 31 hard earned dollars
Nothing like a clean car. They even vacuumed the cargo area and managed to get ALL of dog fur out! Well done. I've never had a bad experience at this location.
Well I went back for the gold wash with fries.. I mean the full meal deal wash... Anyway .my rating went from ok to disappointed. despite spending 23.99 plus tax they left the front window dirty .interior almost done..they missed the drivers side door paper holder and it needed to be cleaned. Also. I have a white car so it really shows the dirt. They missed several creases on the hatch.. . I got a 5 dollar wash but it cost over 25 with tax
They did a great job...But they failed to wipe down the door seals enough...They froze up..Had difficulty getting into the vehicle...
For what you’re paying, their level of attention to detail is pretty low.
Did not like the gold service .very poorly done at St james location .Waste of my time and birthday gift.
Great job. A bit pricey
Did not vacuum or clean my car
Normally the Chamois does a great job, but yesterday it was the worst wash we have ever received. Paying 25 dollars and having the inside of the car covered in dirt from the employees was a little much. The passenger side door was filthy and the dash wasn't cleaned properly. It was a busy day at the car wash but it doesn't mean that it is excusable. I have called to voice a complaint but to go back for another wash would be out of the question. The wait time was around 20 minutes and then having the car on the inside dirtier than when we took it in. I would suggest to only go there when it isn't busy or in the summer.
Prices for miscellaneous items such as gloves and trinkets are price gouging. Too high. 50 bucks for leather mittens, nah. Should carry reasonable priced items. Also should have open wifi for waiting customers.
Could use better customer relations services.
Well done a hundred percent improvement over my last visit . The car was cleaned with z little more attention than the other time I visited.
LOVE the service and quick attention to all the detailed efforts from the staff ????????we'll be back.
Always professionally done
The exterior cleaning is usually good. But so are drive thru car washes. The only thing that makes me come to chamois is for the interior cleaning and maybe the lustra shine. The interior cleaning sometimes the carpet is worse than before from their muddy boots. The regular workers sometimes don't put a lot of effort into the lustra shine. The supervisors with ties usually do a good job.
Not statisfy with there service. Do come here it’s just a wastage of money and time.
My Mats were misplaced and they replaced them without a problem
Great customer service
So so so disappointed!!! Got a GOLD wash spent $25.00, the whole inside was still very dirty. The back wasn't even vacuumed, there was rocks and sand all over the floor still. Dirty spots all over the front dashboard, nothing seemed to be wiped down as there was still spray that hadn't been wiped. Over all very disappointed and they will be losing a regular customer. This has not been the first disappointment from Chamois. Will be posting also on social media. I tried to reach out to Chamois with my dissatisfaction and nobody ever got back to me.
Disappointed that they took away the pay outside option. Liked the drive up, pay outside, and go through the drive through car wash.
My car was quite dirty inside and out after being a dusty parking lot this summer. I got the Gold service with interior polish and my car hasn't looked so good for years! They were following pandemic procedures.
For the price of a Gold wash now I am not impressed. This used to be better. Now I always have to point out missed spots like the door jams and interior. For almost $30, and yes, there is a guarantee and you can go again but I prefer not to.
they always do a great job..and saves me a trip to the chiropractor
Leave some spots on a carpet, and then they will offer you a car detailing ON A BRANDNEW ONE WEEK OLD CAR.! ????????????
Slightly more than expected, but worthwhile never the less.
Things I’ve lost in the chamois: 2 license plates (not recovered), 3x4 square of paint from my hood, $8-10 in change from my ash tray, and about 3 days of my life waiting in line.
Excellent service and cleaning of my vehicle
Wonderful job done on my car...very well done and super clean and polished. Only problem is we ran into a thunderstorm on the drive home(1.5 hours) . But the interior is still sparkling.
Decided to give then a try after avoiding for awhile. Vehicle was still covered in bug guts and then did a horrible job hand drying as you could see where they wiped afterwards. At least lower your prices so its comparable to the quality of work.
I have been to the chamois many times I like to keep my vehicle clean they do clean your car but I have never left and thought they did a great job especially for the price it always seems to be lacking
Easy on and out. Decent interior and exterior wash.
Garbage for what you pay for. Some attendants don't listen when asked to air between seats they look at you like a deer in headlights. Terrible, your better off doing it yourself
Best car wash in manitoba
Not sure what happened but sad interior quick wipe for silver package, never used to be bad. Went yesterday and not going back. Waste of 30 bucks for sure.
Did work in the time they told that the car will be done.
They do a good job but not a great job. Nice lounge to relax when they wash you vehicle. Go early on weekends to avoid long waits!
Employees still your my car stuff and money. Please do not leave anything. They are big stiller and performance for wash is very horrible. They rewash my car still did not washed properly
Got to stay safe in my vehicle
Rushed. Poor job.
Please don't go to this location. Save your money and specially save your time and stress. Customer service is so bad you can see that they dont care with their customer as long as they finish their job, they are mean and not friendly at all. They only care about HOW FAST THEY CLEAN which is not even good because they are busy which they should focus on the QUALITY of their service which you actually paid and what you expect.
Good job cleaning inside and out. Quick service and friendly staff.
0 stars, it would not let me post until I clicked a star..... I take the start back !!!!!! once again I paid good money for a crappy cleaning !!! I would suggest people go elsewhere for a cleaning!!!!
The chamois boasts they are a full service car wash. However, at best, they do a mediocre job. While it’s nice to have the interior and exterior done all at once I’ve never left without needing to go home and polish off some missed spots. For the price I wouldn’t expect this to be the case. On a recent trip someone else’s floor mat was placed in my back row. I didn’t discover it until I returned home and when I called the location the manager said to me “we have a lot of new staff and a lot of mistakes have been happening.” Doesn’t exactly promote a feeling of confidence in the business. It’s ok if you want a quick interior and exterior clean, just don’t expect perfection because they rush vehicles through.
Just got a wash here for the first time after being disappointed at many of the other Chamois locations and I have to say I’m impressed! The inside and outside of my car was done very nicely, probably the best carwash I’ve gotten at The Chamois. However, the two girls working at the front desk decided to continue their to conversation while I was paying. The only words one of the girls spoke were snapped at me, and she ignored me when I asked how she was doing because she was telling her story. To the other girls credit, she seemed uncomfortable that the other girl was continuing to tell her story through our transaction. All in all the service was poor, but the car wash was well done.
Did a good job..even found my ID card that was missing for months. Thnx
Good
I ordered gold car wash, i didn't have any match with what they advertised to do. They didn't even vacuum the inside one, they deceived by day they would have been shampooing the inside but mot at all. Filthy service at all
very poor service did not care at all, waste of money and did not clean my car properly
Whatever wash or cleaning you choose they do a top notch job inside& out. Worth every penny spent!
Brought my truck here scratch free. Then it comes out with a scratch. Never before had this problem happen. It's how they delt with it saying I'm lying an it was filled in or something they said. Not willing to fix. Pretty sad if you ask me. I'm never bring any of my vehicles there again!
Every time I come, I have to ask fo4 a cloth to re wipe many missed areas. I stopped using them for a few years. Came today and was given the usual poor quality work. Won't come again.
Got the gold wash, my car looks awesome. The staff are awesome well done and work really hard. Hats off to the staff.
Ol' Bess has never looked better. Had the detailing done, everything was done to perfection.
Wasn't really expressed with the wash and the wipe down my vehicle was still dirty and had dusty streaks after I exited the car wash.
My vehicle is new and no one sits in my other seat so this was an easy clean for the people at the Chamois located in St. James. I came in for a gold wash and the only thing they needed to do was clean the mat, vacuum and wash the outside. The outside wash was horrible - there was dirt on the lower panel under the driver side doors, the vacuum was mediocre, not great, and the mat was FILTHY. When I called the next day explaining how my vehicle looked, they offered to redo the job if I came in by the end of the week - that does not work with my schedule which I explained to the manager. I said a free wash cert would work better for me - he refused. I will never go to the Chamois again. $30.00 on a vehicle that only require a wash on the outside and thorough cleaning on the driver side only and my vehicle comes out half clean? Not good. When you do a shoddy job like this - you do not offer to fix the issue on your terms only - unprofessional - and your staff should take better care when cleaning the vehicle.. very low standards.
Price is fair but didn't not do a good job cleaning the dash found lots of dust left over
Worst place to go. There always rushing. Most of the time they don't even wipe down the inside properly. They have no care in the world if they suck stuff up with there vac. I have had vary important things go missing cause they could care less. Should have a sign saying they rush and could care less about your stuff. Will not be going here ever again.
Not very clean job on my truck
A bit pricey but usually pleased with end result.
Not recommended. Don't waste your money here. Total wastage.
Meh
Good work, good service
Great car wash!
Did a decent job. It really depends how busy they are
Very clean after washed comparing to touchness. Also better to wash there when it's colder than minus 20C
I want treated very kindly. I could bring my dog inside and got my seats shampood. They did an awesome job!
Fast, friendly, and tolerant of rude customers.
I went in and has my back seat cleaned from my puppy getting sick, they told me they removed my son's car seat and vaccumed up and there wasn't any puke underneath to be cleaned, when I removed the car seat to put a cover on to prevent my seats getting ruined from future messes and sure enough they never removed the car seat.
More often than not, the vehicle is not completely clean but otherwise convenient.
Man does my car look great! Everytime I come back to Winnipeg I come to this location. Thanks!
Lots of dirt left inside. Still dead bugs on the windshield.
Nice job looks great
They did a good inside and out cleaning on my truck. I'd recommend this to my family and friends.
I been going tbere for years and neber had a peoblem till recently. I habe 3 young kkds so crumbs galore! I had all 3 seats out amd the back wasnt even vaccumed .. still looked how it did when i went tbere . .. garbagw piled up on the back amd front seats. Stixky sfill. Also threw out my expensive magnetoc eyelahses i forgot in my door but cant throw out the garbags?
You're letting unexperienced kids scratch up something you haven't fully paid off yet.
For the price, they don't really get into the hard to reach areas. Little bit of a let down, but I'm the lazy one that won't wash his car lol
Perfect job
Cost $$$ for basic quality wash. Dirt spots etc. Focused more on speed and volume than with quality of wash vacuum and dry. You’ll still have some dirt specially inside. Rather wash my vehicle myself.
Very frustrating when you think that you are in the shorter line (lane #3) and yet somehow lane #1 is able to get several vehicles through before yours makes it to the beginning of the wash track. Definitely need a better system to make going through the car wash a bit more fairer... As for the quality of the wash, it's a decent job, but a decent job does not reflect the premium price you pay for the wash. And when a staff member hands off your supposedly clean vehicle to you, you rarely see a friendly person with a smile on his or her face...
Always courteous and efficient service. Kyle is especially exceptional with his special attention, honesty, and skills pertaining to detailing. I highly recommend him and recommend him to anyone who needs a thorough job well done.
They did a fairly good job but vacuuming the interior was sub par.
I work in the customer service Industry and they don’t have this. I went to the st James location excited to get my car all cleaned as I’m moving on the weekend and I wanted a clean vehicle move in. when it was done the outside was clean the windows were clean but they did not vacuum they didn’t wipe down the dash, the doors, all they did was clean the floor mats, my backseat was not touched actually my whole backseat was not touched. I went inside to complain about the issue. A young man came out and all he did was wipe down my dash and a door for me and that was it! so I paid $30 for I’m not sure what clean windows I guess. Never going back again.
NEVER AGAIN!!! I would give a 0 rating if I could. tried to be a nice person in politely reporting my complaints. But obviously that didn’t get me anywhere but leave me with muddy dirty seats, interior cleaning not worth a measly buck and a manager that needs to learn that the customer is always right. I should’ve taken the reviews of this location seriously but I always gave businesses the benefit of the doubt! Not anymore…save your hard earned money and go elsewhere or do it yourself…BUYER BEWARE!!!
Do a decent job interiorly but only to everything visible. I could lift my front seat/cupholder combo and it was still filthy.
Car was visibly dirty in the inside, not wiped down properly. Disappointing.
They do an ok wash. Could be more thorough.
It's not like it use to be.
I llke coming here.
They did an ok job missed some things. Wasn't great for the price, rather do it myself.
Not impressed with this place,especially for the pricing of the service.I’ve always gone there for wash and interior detail,always have to return because they go through it so quickly and do a terrible job. Last time I went,they charged me for interior detailing,but missed cleaning the console ( which had a coffee stain on it),including vacuuming the seats. They fixed it,but nobody seems to take pride in their work there. I’ve got a fleet of vehicles that I was considering taking there for normal wash and detail,but will be looking elsewhere.
Got a flat tire and they actually changed it for me! Was very surprised
(Translated) My car was not clean. (Original) Ma voiture n'était pas bien propre.
was impressed especially with the exterior
Quick & easy clean
Jasmine does a great job of detailing
My truck was very dirty when i took it in, it came out looking worse.Dirt swirls running down the sides, dirt particles still in the inside, tried to talk to the young girl who was suppose to be in charge, (what a joke) absolutely no help, asked who the manager was, she told me his name, had a appointment , couldn't wait around, phoned him later, he was rude & of no help, needs some people skills.Basically he started yelling at me...save your money try a different one or go to a coin wash.
I was extremely disappointed with my last several visits to the chamois and especially this last wknd. I paid for the silver wash and added the $20 for 20 minutes and asked them to focus on the interior and door jams. They cleaned my back door jam but got the rug dirty and shampooed the floor without asking, which still has huge dirty spots where mud was dropped, and were left soaking wet.They obviously sprayed the mud that was in door jams into my vehicle as there’s still mud on my windowsills and in my vents, the top of my seats were not wiped, my door compartments were not vacuumed or dusted, dash was not wiped properly with streaks all over, my rims and mud flaps were not washed properly. I asked to speak with manager who was not in and so a supervisor came to look at vehicle and I asked him for a return but he said they’d take it back through which he did but the truck was still not clean and rug still extremely wet. I asked him if he’d atleast give me the extra $20 back as now I had a wet floor to top it off. I did not get my money back, my truck is still dirty and smells sour. Would not recommend the chamois.
Had to go home and wash it again. After speaking to the manager was offered a free rewash when told i had no time they said i could come back to that location only within 24 hrs, which comes with the gold wash anyways. Next time ill save my 25.00
Worth the extra cost to come here. You get a good clean on the inside without doing it yourself.
I asked for gold and it's better for me my self wash my car.still dirty and not satisfied...
Not that that. Paid $80 and my car looked the same as it did when it went in there, just shiny on the inside and outside. Didn't even smell as nice as I was expecting. And they didn't get the stains out of my seats.
good job truck looks great
I don't recommend anyone to go there. Please go to good place to wash your car. Even children can wash better than this shop. Baddest service ever got and even they don't apologize for bad service. I paid $84 dollars, they dont even vaccum the car.
I couldnt give a zero. Brought my truck in 06/15/19. I had coffee money under my smokeless ashtray in a coffee cup holder. Not only did they leave the ashtray on the seat they took my money.. I WILL NOT be back at the St James location.
Love this place and they do a very good job of cleaning your car
Great service and value.
Its a neat place to go for a full inside and outside cleaning.Has a setup like a bar to sit at by a window to watch the cars being cleaned.Comfortable waiting area.Good price
Excellent. Thanks
They always do a crappy job!!!!!
I Always get gold wash. They never properly vacuum the floors. Dust all around dashboard. Dirty Rims. You guys should improve your quality of service.
Clean as a whistle
My favorite car wash that keeps my car shining.
Always a great wash.
Excellent customer service
They have done a pretty mediocre job, first row is ok but the second row and the third row were dirty, it's like they only clean the first row . Also I found a fell starches around my car. After reading other reviews I found out that they won't be responsible for those " Incident " so be wary when bring your car here.
Great price for the service! $25 and my vehicle looks great inside and out
Am always happy to have my vehicle cleaned. I don't ask staff to continually wipe my vehicle. I don't inspect my vehicle to look for missed spots. If I want no scratches then I can go buy a new vehicle. Our vehicles have normal wear. The staff have always been exceptional, they all do excellent work. Be happy!
Quite inferior cleaning. Going there every day with our fleet cars. Feels like I need to go back there to re-wash as soon I receive the vehicle back, but dont usually have time for that. Talking to the management does not improve the quality.
Most of the time great service. Try not to go during closing hours or weekends.
Good service.
Brutal job on interior - made them redo it and still had to touch it up myself Don’t waste your money
There are some good things to be said about them, like the merchandise they sell and the waiting area, many of the staff are very nice and friendly. I find managers however can be quite rude at times. As a carwash, I'd say that most of the time they can do a good job on the interior if your car is pretty clean to start with. Even if you pay extra $20 for one element of the interior like the dash, it does not help much. No exaggeration. No complaints about the exterior. Hope this can help them improve.
Prices are reasonable but I didn't know the wash was partially done by the car wash machines. Scratched up my new car.
Missed a few spots
It's nice to be able to get your vehicle quickly cleaned inside and out every now and then.
Need to refine and do proper cleaning methods especially interior details.
Terrible. Never take your car here
I paid for a gold wash and upholstery detail. The seats were washed nicely but everything else that was included in the gold wash was done poorly. They did not clean any of the doors including the panels. The interior console and plastic was still covered in dust. The cupholders were not touched and there was very poor attention to detail. You're better off washing your car yourself.
I was not satisfied with the cleaning of the interior of my truck
They do a great job of cleaning
Got a gold wash on my truck went and took it to a coin wash rate after horrible job inside wasnt even wiped down completely
I took my car in for the interior 3 pack cleaning upgraded to detail gold. They did a really good job on the interior, I have a light colored fabric which was cleaned well as were the carpets. The exterior would be more like a 2.5 or 3 as it wasn't cleaned as well. The car still had grease marks still near door edges and rocker panels, plus other areas that had dirt spots. My quality control checklist didn't have "Exterior cleaned" checked off (which I never noticed until later at home). Since I wasn't completely satisfied with the exterior clean, I rated 3 instead of 4.
Usually purchase the gold package and spend about 15 minutes wiping down missed spots inside and out. Paying for the 20 minutes extra service is a better result but there's better value out there.
Interior is not cleaned properly
Fast friendly service
Horrible horrible horrible SAVE YOUR $. Go anywhere else but here. Guys operating car wash are are lousy. SUV in they didn't even wash drivers side above step bar nor did they even wash my rear license plate. Once they pulled out my car I noticed a dent on the drivers side front bumper which they "denied" was there staff. I had just taken it day before to autobody shop to have front number checked and it wasn't there. Who the liar? -25 is what I rate them....
Never seem to dully clean car, always dirty spots
It was busy. I payed for the gold wash and my car dash was still dusty and my driver side window ledge was still dirty too
It ok don't do a bad job
Depends how many is working again can do a good job if they have enough people on the floor
Nice clean car inside and out.
Not very good
At first 1 star manager told us to come back and they would clean my truck properly. And I think I saw the manager go out and clean my truck himself. Now that's a great manager to keeping costumers happy. Great Job Manager Stephen.
I went to Chamois today on St. James and purchased a GOLD wash and friendly as always that is why I gave 1 star...... BUT upon me driving home as I was in a super rush to get home I noticed that they totally missed cleaning the interior of my car. It was very obvious as I still had a few coffee spills on my console, my dash still had the layer of dust, my gear shift still had that small drop of ice cream on it my mirror still had fingerprints..So I called to let them know hoping I can just get another car wash. Now remember I live out of town & I'm already close to home (45 mins away) AND I'm on vacation tomorrow which is why I got my car cleaned as I'm usually too cheap to pay $30. So manager/supervisor gets on the phone & I explain that it's plain as day that they missed cleaning my interior. He proceeds to ask me when can I come back in the next 48 hours. I say well I live out of town & I'm almost on my doorstep & I'm on vacation tomorrow driving 7 hours and back on Tuesday! He says sorry ma'am but our policy is you have to come back within 48 hours to get this redone. So I say..so it's my fault that I live out of town & on vacation so you won't give me another wash for free? No ma'am but I can give you 50% off your next wash cause your car is just going to come back dirtier. Well it wasn't cleaned right in the first place! All I said is no thank you..I just won't come back again.. I haven't gone to the chamois in awhile due to my car never really getting that clean on the exterior. Well Bad on me to try again as you can see where the workers wiped off my car..its just dirty circles. NOT WORTH YOUR TIME & MONEY!
Nice staff, horribly overpriced for the quality of work given though.
Waste of money
Decent, they didn't clean all of the dash or vacuum everything.
Went there last night. My back seat floor wasn't cleaned. The 2 wrappers on the floor were shoved in the corner under my bench seat. Happened with my other truck 3 weeks ago as well. Part of the dash board was left dusty, floor mats are still dirty, and my doors were only wiped on the top half. Also I keep my truck clean inside so I know it wasn't overly dirty to begin with, I think that's the most frustrating part.
Always great!
Apparently management is more concerned about speed than quality
Great friendly service
They don't take enough time cleaning inside I understand that they have to move the vehicle out quickly but when u pay for interior cleaning u would like to have it done
Our car was filthy from dusty back roads. Very fast service but missed some spots. They did a great job considering how dusty it was inside and out
Good service nice shine on car got my mommies worth.
Did a great job on our work van!! It was sooo very dirty and when completed, looked great!!
Scratch your car? They will. Better do it yerself
the last few times I've come here it's taken over an hour to go through the process for the basic Bronze package (interior vacuum/exterior wash). Are they understaffed? Also don't like the check in person trying to up-sell services. My car already has a treated undercarriage and rust protection, so I don't need extra formulas. Afterwards, I usually have to open the hatch and doors and do a bit of extra wiping of what the attendants missed.
Got the bronze wash- Extremely disappointed by the poor service. They did not clean the inside of the door lashes, the rear floormat is still covered in white dirt, got 4 paint chips on the right side of my new car. They hurried through the entire process. Worst car wash ever. Never going back there.
My car lives this place
Poor vacuum job
First time there. Windows were smeared. Same cloth to use inside was used on the windows.
Quick service and did a pretty good job with my very dusty interior
My truck was not cleaned at all dust and dirt still all over it my doors and floor mats were still dirty, I went in to let them know and poor management, he came out and looks dumbfounded like he didn’t know what he was supposed to do about it, I will never go there and waste my money on that place again.
I'm sitting here watching the customers interact with the staff and realizing every single customer has a different idea of what clean is. There is a guy with an older car who has a q-tip in hand and he's inspecting his car with it. And it's not perfect. But they're out here making sure it is clean and he's leaving happy. And I'm here because they didn't meet my standards but the manager reached out and fixed it and couldn't have been nicer. Kind of made me appreciate how hard this business must be but the staff are all smiling and doing their best. Im from Calgary and this place is less than half the price of what I'm used to paying at Bubbles or Clearwash and they definitely do a better job. I'd highly recommend these guys. If it's not what you expected just nicely say so and they seem eager to fix it with a smile on their face. Not sure what more you could ask for.
If i could give no stars I would. My husband brought his car to this location and had the weather stripping on the passenger side torn off. We contacted the location in person right after we left and noticed and was told the GM would contact us. We've been calling almost every day for the last month to just get a run around from the staff stating they dont know how to contact the gm or that we're still waiting for another call. The GM waited a month to contact us and refuses to take responsibility claiming his staff would never have missed something like that and that those types of things are found and resolved right away. He tried giving us 5 free car washes to resolve the issue when the replacement part is over $100. Never going back to any chamois ever.
Chamois Service is Okay but most of the times they miss some spots drying at the end
Had my car washed and interior shampooed and polished , inside was great outside not so great .
It's my 3rd times having problems with me this place they have done very bad jobs on my car ???? I pay$221 jobs they done half of the car mo vacuum or wash the door i will never come back this place or refer someone i know
I bought a gold star in and out cleaning at Chamois St. James location. They did a terrible job: the front dash was not cleaned, mud marks on doors not cleaned, dried food left in door handle, edges not vacuum cleaned, seats not wiped well. I did not get what I paid for!
Got a inside , outside car wash and what a great choice. Very good service and fast. A little confusing with how to get the service the first time.
The people working here deserve more credit the what other reviews have said. Taken two vehicles here in the last month and they did a real great job. I've also taken a vehicle to the detailing to clean the vents and I was impressed with the service.
They could have done a better job inside I had the wash (gold) one things were not clean
I always have to go through again they always mis my consul and my mats and door handle area are never really done if not missed all together
Beautifull get the gold one so u xan get a rewash within 24 hours cuz 1st time its aight but second time will be good
It’s ok......
Price is good their work is mediocre at best
Waste of money for 30$ car wash i ask the girl to do from inside and when i got my car it’s look like not even wash. Really bad experience
Really appreciate the service I believe they could do a much better job.
They did a lousy job vacuuming and cleaning the interior of our toyota echo. I went there to have dog hairs removed from the back seat and you couldn't even tell that they tried to vacuum it. The manager informed me that they don't have the equipment to remove pet hair unless I pay to have the car detailed. So I basically paid $25 to wash my car and I could have done that for $9 at co-op.
While staff were friendly, my car was not cleaned as well as I expected. I was disappointed.
They did a horrible job at cleaning the inside of our vehicle. Rather clean the vehilce myself then let them touch it again!!
Car was 95% clean
Always does and excellent cleaning service! ????
Ive been to Chamois maybe 5 times in my life. I bought a gold wash for $28.00. I won't be going back! Quality has plummeted!!!
Best car wash in Winnipeg
They use water on my car.
I wish I read these reviews before going. Brand new car didn't have a scratch on it came out with a ton of scratches and scuff marks. All the manager could say is nothing in here would have caused that!!!!! Other than that I got silence. Never take your vehicle here. Also I got the gold service and I could clean the interior of my car better with my bare hand. Very disappointed and have learned my lesson. As other people have said. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK! I will never recommend the chamios to anyone!
It's getting expencive and quality is not as good as it once was long wait times however I still go there for now
Was was okay
Always best to try not going on busy times, because they rush and will not do a good job. Other than that I love going here every time I’m in the city.
Absolutely horrible. Didn't vacuume the seats or wipe them down "leather" and poorly wiped down. Will never go back.
Good service and good cleaning
Way more detailed than the one on Reenders Drive and very respectful team. I don't care the distance from Trancona, I would be here again for a satisfactory wash.
Well I can say this, I used to go with people that used their service quite awhile ago. I think, not positive, that I may have used it once when I owned my Intrepid, anyway, decided to get my car professionally cleaned, inside and out. I was amazed at how efficient, friendly, helpful and smiling they great staff was! Guys and Gals all doing a wonderful job. Pleasant, asking when they needed to check with me about the car. Very, very, very impressed! Even was able to purchase floor mats reasonably priced for the car! Trust me, my car was filthy, due to me being so ill for the last 4 + years. In the heat we had Saturday, there was no way I would tackle it myself. I knew about their location on St James Street, verifed by my neighbors daughter, so I slapped my tunes in my CD player and off I bounced! What really got me also was the work their team was doing must have been hard especially because we were such high humidex factored in. Wow! Was like being in a sauna, but that didn't stop their Team of dedicated employees from doing an Awesome, amazing job! Hydration for sure was allowed on the job, because I saw several employees being able to drink from water bottles. Thanks for the excellent car wash, the great chat at the check out and the smiling staff, your Tribe surely does ROCK! EXCELLENT SERVICE AND WELL DONE! ????????????????
Very poor service today.
I usually go to a touchless carwash but decided to treat my self to a 30$ gold package wash and get the inside done as well and the interior and windows were still dirty and some paint came off the bottom of the driver's side door too, I thought about saying something but I saw the disclaimer on the bill and thought it would be pointless.
Ordered "GOLD service" and received very poor cleaning. Car was not dried properly side morrows and windows were not cleaned well, around the doors wasn't even touched and all accumulated dirt and dust was left untouched. Doesn't worse the money paid.
Thank you Chamois St James!! Best wash yet. Much attention to the detail, all the cubbies were vacuumed out and wiped down. Much appreciated.
ALWAYS been GOOD to me! Don't go often - but take both our work vehicle (which gets pretty dirty) and my personal vehicle - other than long lines - has always been a POSITIVE experience - both outer and inner cleaned very well considering the volume they move thru daily - if you want a better job - you can opt for their detailing services. I think the job they do is very good value - can't understand some of the complaints - will continue to come back!
Great cleaning job here!
My van was still dirty and all the change was on from my cup holder. I was not impressed at all.
Overall, not bad. Very efficient and the employees ' were very nice.
WOW! The best experience I've had at a Chamois. This location took a little longer but the entire van was vacuumed, wiped down and no mess anywhere. I usually go to the Transcona location and every single time I have to send it back to go through again. I didn't mind waiting an extra 5 minutes for these results. Highly recommend this location. Do not go to the Transcona one.
I paid for a gold wash at this carwash. They broke the gear shift on my moms van and when my mom called to complain. They just said "we can't take blame for this because its common in this vehicle". Like im sorry if you know this is common why would your workers be so aggressive with our vehicle.... but cant take the blame knowing its supposedly common. Very unprofessional
Took my new Ford Fusion there after having it for just a week. Their manager would not take any responsibility for the damage, even though the scratches on the hood match the rotation of their cleaning brush. My hood needs to be repainted and they deny everything. Avoid all locations of the Chamois. They're terrible!
I got the gold cleaning and if youre looking to clean the interior of your car. DONT GO HERE. Expect bad service if you do. Ps. Also got a scratch on my car after the wash.
Did a great job!
They did an awful job cleaning my vehicle was still very much dirty inside in parts they "cleaned"
Had a gold cleaning, was nearly perfect. My seats had hot chocolate, coffee, and tomato paste stains all of which I can see no trace of. Highly recommend this place.
Great full service cleaning.
Great service. I got an extra detailing service to remove pet hair and they did a fantastic job.
Full service - clean car and wash.
Truck was real dirty outside and it came out very clean. Interior is always a bit in need of a bit more attention to detail. I know it's tough but juts a bit of feedback.
Usually do a good job on your car. But if your not happy They will run it through again. Very thoughtful. If they cant find u they'll park it till u come back. No worries
Sales lady was nice but after that you're left on your own to figure out the process. I was caught in the middle of lack of communication between 2 employees and left to feel like an idiot. And the cleaning job was terrible. The running boards and mud flaps were still filthy. The interior didn't look vacuumed at all. The clamps from the tonneau cover were completely removed and I was not informed and lost the cover going down the highway and it also damaged the box. I managed to talk to the manager once and was told it was my responsibility to be sure everything was secure on the vehicle. He said he would get back to me when they figured out what to do about it. He didn't and my calls have not been returned since. I want them to realize how serious the consequences could have been if that had landed on someone's windshield and caused a serious accident. Absolutely can not recommend this location to anyone. Maybe the others are better?
Decent car wash, windshield cleaning not very good.
Missed a lot on my truck
First time and last time, I picked the GOLD, crumbs under my seats, rear window dirtier than before the car wash. What a waste for $27.
Just went tru the wash wife paid for gold wash but the final end relieved car back car was not cleaned properly many missed areas doors under the front wind guard was still dirty inertior was not cleaned wipe over fast not done good at all not happy with service
Absolutely love this place. I'm from the country and whenever I come in I always good here. Great job to you all.????????
Great Experience
Brought mu suv to wash as the extirior was dirty from the road construccion and paid for the gold package and the exterior came back out dirth and when we pointed it oit it was like we were asking for too much. Not a great experience
Fantastic car wash!!! Thorough & speedy!!
Excellent customer service! Fair pricing. Amazing staff!! Love this location!
Really good but lack in some areas. I opted for a $30 wash and they didn’t even clean the rims properly had to tell of the guys there to do it again. Despite the service the staff is really friendly.
Cleaning service was very disappointing, my dash and console had not even been cleaned.
I've had great service each time I have gone here.
My 5 year old sister can clean better than chamois gold star service Tired of wasting money with these people with the worst cleaning jobs.
Awesome staff, live the place
Do not use this business. They scratched the vehicle we dropped off (extensively) and no apology was offered, they came up with every excuse they could think of as to why it was not their fault (several of the scratches were in an obvious circular motion but others were deep gouges almost as if it was keyed), and no reimbursement offered. Such horrible business ethics. They did such a poor job washing the vehicle in the first place and it had to be redone, which may have been forgivable, had they not actually damaged the vehicle. The vehicle is new and now covered in deep scratches all over exterior. I wouldn't put it past the staff based on their indifferent treatment that there were discriminating motives behind the damage. Absolutely sickening.
Service was quick, a little too quick. Missed a whole bunch of spots in the interior. Asked them to go over it again and still missed a bunch of spots. Usually they're ok but yea its hit or miss with them. 30 bucks for a cleaning that looked like my 14 year old son did.
Waste of money better use coin wash
Waste of $30 for gold car wash. I asked the girl for the best interior and exterior cleaning. She recommend gold. And they couldn't even bother wiping down the interior screen. All wet mats placed back. Plus visible dirt on the car outside and inside. Cup holders wasnt even vacvum. I specifically told the guy to clean between the seats which nothing was done. This location use to be really good but this is my 3rd time being disappointed by the service. Wont be going back ever.
Black truck came out with some dirt but they ran it through again with no issues. Interior clean was decent. Worth it for the price.
Came with a dirty car, left with a dirty car. Somehow my backseat got more dry leaves and dirt on it. Not sure how that happened.
They do a great job and if your not satisfied they will address your concerns.
Great place they do a fine job prices ok and fast best time is early morning
