Shawnessy Car Wash

A got behind a door and the guy washed his car 16 times. 4 other cars came and went before I got in. Isn't there a better way to queue cars?

Tap pay at each bay is very handy. Rinse water was warm, which is a welcome thing in cold weather, so the vehicle dries quicker, and doors don't freeze up. A quick winter wash was under $5.00. Well done Shawnessy Car Wash.

Dirty, not a good value. I thought that I would try this one out for once, but I am disappointed. Not very convenient to have coin only vacuums, and outside only. Heading to a different car wash to go vacuum out my car and clean the interior properly now

I've been using this car wash for years but never again. Although the bays are clean and the water pressure and temperature seem good.the soap and "spot free" products seem sub par. My vehicle was not super dirty but when i got home I noticed that there was a "film" all over so either the soap isn't strong enough or the rinse water is dirty or the "spot free" rinse is contaminated. All that for an $18 car wash.
The photo below is the back door.the "art" is from my finger rubbing off the film.
UPDATE: I was just at the car wash and as promised they gave me a refund. Super customer service. Hopefully the city gets their act together and any remaining the issues with the equipment can be resolved. Thanks for making this right. Excellent customer service. I will be returning.
I have upgraded the my review from a 1 star to a 4 star

In general good for a quick wash, but if looking for clean wash it won’t satisfy your needs. The amount of soap is scarce and felt as it dropped over time, the spot free rinse suppose to leave the car without spots but it doesn’t as if the water maybe not properly filtered. On the other hand the bays are always clean, and equipment always functions with no leaks and low pressure. I do my quick wash there and happy with the location

Good for a quick rinse. Not satisfied with the quantity of soap. Other than that they have decently clean bays, tap to pay is available.

17 dollars were withdrawn from the card, in 2 minutes of washing the car. There was no honey. We came there 2 times and we didn't like it 2 times. I do not recommend this wash.

I used this carwash once and to be fair it is like most carwashes of its style. Self-serve bays with automated machines that you can use to wash your car. I did not have any issues and pricing is comparable to other carwashes similar in style. Well located and it seems to always be packed.

Great car wash! Pretty standard and gets the job done. You can pay by credit card and I have had no issues eveytime I come. There are a lot of bay doors so I have not had to wait in line long.

Awesome car wash. Great staff, David went way above and beyond helping me out when my car battery died. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend to anyone in the south end of Calgary!

GOOD PLACE BROTHERS THEY HAVE EXCLUSIVE APES FOR ANYONE WHO WANT T OGO THERE. BURKINABE MAN WAS AT COUNTER AND HE WAS VERY GOOD. HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS. IF YOU GO THERE IS APES EXHIBIT. SO GO. THANKS.

Fine but you cant get recepits until it opens. There is no location to scan your card to print one off.

Very busy location. Vacuums are in poor locations and not a lot of them. Cleaning supplies are pricey.

Shout out to amazing Andy who helped me with my car wash needs today. I had never used a self service car wash before and the help I received here made my day! Friendly and quick service. I highly recommend this place.

Just moved to SW Calgary, and it was my first time to do manual car wash here. The kindness Randy gave me a wonderful demostration on how to startup and using the various functions of the washing while just cost me <$6. A great service. Absolutely be back to here again.

Never had such a bad experience until today. No matter what time of year my partner and I have been here in the past with our separate cars, all the bay doors have been functional and working.
Today none of the bay doors on the line up side were "turned on". The employee working said this was to speed things along for convenience as per the owners request.
As I told the employee working today, if I wanted to put on a show for everyone else I would've been an exotic dancer. Atleast post a sign so others don't wait an hour to wash their car only to find out they will be putting on a show for the whole lot of people waiting behind them.
The doors were perfectly operational on the side you drive out of though. Which leaves the employees excuse as to why the other side weren't working, complete garbage. Owners here are clearly more interested in the money they make, rather than the service they provide. We will find another car wash.

Good car wash no complaints except not sure how good the "wax" option works. Feels like just water (maybe not the low pressure high wax Co tent I'm used to seeing at other washers)

5 stars with no questions ask! High, warm water pressure! You can easily clean up your car for 6 bucks! Nice, polite, knowledgeable girl inside! Definitely coming back!

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

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

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

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

Come here to wash your stuff!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Every time I come here it’s always clean, no garbage and I never have to worry about mud. A lot of the people that work here usually take care of the facilities which is a great thing to see. The vacuums work really well too! Location is good easy to access.

Pricing of armorall and other items are realistic too so you don’t have to worry about that. The change machines are always working

Keep up the great work everyone!

Extremely rude staff.

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

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

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

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