Sudsy's Car Wash

Smaller car wash, and make sure to bring $2nies an loonies as that's all the machines accept.can exchange bills (watched another customer)
I didn't have any bills on me nor my card, and needed to change quartets to $2 & $1 coins.

Has a vacuum and shampoo brush, not overpriced and has wipes or air fresheners in a vending machine, trash bags for each stall too.

Great place to have your car washed! There is usually no wait time! And they except change still witch I like, so you can control how much you wanna pay for a quick rinse instead of putting your debit in and all of a sudden because you have no time limit you spent 15 bucks when you just wanted to put 4 bucks in for a quick winter rinse off. I go out of my way to come here, love it!

Started coming here due to big bucket drastically increasing their prices. A little farther from home but worth it! Great place, and great rates. Cost me $6 to wash my car here vs $23 at big bucket!

Car Wash. They make it a good experience. Equipment works, roomy, well-lit. Time for your coin seems to be good. Need more bikini models though.

Maybe turn the music down
I am going to leave and go to Bubbles. Thanks

That's a really poor response! I am one of your customers and I didn't say that the music was bad I said maybe turn it down. It's way to loud! The last time I washed my car there it wasn't anywhere near as loud as it is on this day. The funny part is you probably think I'm just a one time customer by the tone of your response but I can assure you I have been going to this location since 1999. Thank you for your very quick poor response it truely shows you do not care about me as an almost 25 year customer. Congratulations;)

Great little spot. Plenty of room and it accepts credit card so no more fumbling around for change

I am updating my review as I've had a couple of negative experiences when using my credit card to pay. I would strongly recommend avoiding using a credit card.

The timer automatically defaults to round up to the next minute when it charges you, but the frustrating part is that I hit STOP on the machine at 3: 55, and it proceeded to continue to count up to 3: 58 seconds (which would still be a $4 charge), and then suddenly jumped to 4: 02 and charged me an extra dollar. I thought I had screwed up the first couple of times but I've now had multiple similar instances where it adds an extra dollar to the amount. At least when you pay cash you get to use the car wash for the full amount you pay.

I'm SO impressed with this car wash, I had to leave a review. We have been traveling by car for weeks and the amount if bugs stuck/baked to my vehicle was astronomical. I used the presoak and (as recommended by the owner on site) I let it sit while I finished vacuuming the interior. It was unbelievable how easily the bugs came off leaving my car looking amazing. It saved me time and was so effective. This car wash is great! It's has high quality products, it's clean, it's well lit and the owner is so lovely and helpful. I will definitely be supporting this business.

Great Facility, it's well priced and the staff is very helpful. The clientele of this place is enough of a testimony; you'll see everything from modern porches, classic chevy's, to family mini vans all coming here to get clean.

I used to come here for years but recently this car wash has fallen behind the competition. Compared to other car washes, this place charges in increments of $1, others charge in increments of 25 cents. Other places have such a high soap concentration that it nearly turns your car white, this place's soap is so watered down that you can barely see any bubbles. Other places have two pressure settings, one low, one high, this place has only one pressure setting and it's medium pressure at best. I don't know if there was a change in ownership or what happened to this place, but at this point even a rip off like big bucket or a detour to spy hill wash is better because at least you actually get soap there. The only advantage that sudsy's offers me is that it's nearby; I wouldn't make the detour to drive to this car wash if I lived farther away. Give the other places a try and see for yourself.

Edit: you don't have 2 pressure settings. Presoak & rinse don't count as two pressure settings. The royal oak carwash rinse cycle has a low pressure setting if you don't squeeze the trigger, and if you squeeze it it's higher pressure than your carwash's pressure. Also, they use hot water for their rinse cycle, you cheap out and use cold water. And to tell me you're gonna give me a run through as if I don't know how car washes work ahahah yeah ok you patronizing clowns. I did a 9 minute and roughly 30 second car wash at royal oak for $7.50.if I did that at hawkwood carwash it would've been $10.

Best car wash to go to for manually washing your own car! Line-ups are not too long and there are plenty of options to clean your car. Very good value!

I was in the area and just needed to rinse my car.but inserting $1 is not acceptable.so I had to do $2 just to start the spraying.

I came across with one the machines that its Foam-brush button was not working. It is not possible to meet and inform any staff when face such issues.

Their equipment is really good! Efficient, not too expensive, convenient. I will definitely come back here instead of this awful Crowchild Car Wash. It's worth the extra miles!

Great place to wash your ride. Carwash is always kept clean and all is always in good working condition.

$2 will give you 2 min of wash time and very clean wash bays. A little tight on the roadway for entering and exiting the wash bay if you drive dually or long box.

Visited the car wash on Friday evening and parked at bay #7 (The very last one). There was layer of mud everywhere that was not cleaned after previous customers. So I parked in the next bay (#6) and have used my Visa card instead of coins. Sure enough I forgot the card on top of the box with the dial switch. Visited the car wash the next morning but the card was nowhere to be found. The office was closed even through the schedule for Saturday was from 9am until 12pm. I was able to get hold of someone by the office phone number (I tried to call them as soon as I found the card was missing but no one answered) but they did not recover the Visa card. If someone found the card could you please return it to the nearest RBC branch? There is one at Crowfoot location. They will contact me once the card is returned. Thank you!

Went for the first time and it was very easy to get your car washed for just $5! They had tap to pay and it was easy to see how much time and money you’ve racked up. Will visit again when in need a light car wash in the summer.

Self operated car wash.

It is $2 to start and you can use coins or card. It also lets you switch modes like with soap or rinse throughout the duration of the wash which is nice because not all car washes allow you to do that.

There are curtains that separate you with other cars/people so perfect for Covid.

This is my go to car wash, regular visits at least twice a week. Had an issue last visit with no soap during wash cycle. Left a review but was not able to edit it again. Anyway, went back today and the manager credited me half of what I had paid last time. Soap is working much better. Thanks

EDIT: in response to the kind reply, I used your presoak across my entire car. Thanks but I'll stick to coop, I know their soap removes salt.

Car was seems to run well. Prices are reasonable and I always appreciate a wand wash that takes interact tap.

That being said, I did spend $17 worth of washing to not have the salt removed from my car. Idk how that soap doesn't remove salt but I won't come back here in the winter again.

Self service decently clean all adjuncts available to powder your vehicle. If you have a system can wash rinse your vehicle for 2.00 otherwise blow your budget! New owner operators but seem to operate ok. Hugh and Chrissy previously were awesome!

Great place. Way better priced than any of the other places. Solid local joint. Helpful staff too. It's worth checking it out.

Best car wash in town! Hidden gem in the city. Price is reasonable, place is clean, vending machines are stocked and reasonably priced as well. Theres always someone if i need help with anything. Easy 5 stars!

Definitely one of my favourite places to take my vehicle for a car wash. All of the services that I look for are all included at Sudsy's. The management is always great and I am always pleased with the service. Everything is always accessible and I definitely would recommend to others.

Thank you for being one of my favourite car wash! Experience is always a 10/10.

What can I say! I love this place! I get to maintain the esthetics of my car at a fraction of the price from other car washes- at my own convenience at that! Ever since the management changed, I've noticed positive changes in the car wash over all with better products and equipment. The place overall is amazing due to its convenience and I love the scent of the soap!

I am very particular on where I take my cars to get washed. This location is not only close by, but very well set up. The owner is a great guy and always very pleasant to deal with. One of my favorite places to go wash my car. The bays are always clean and I find the car wash very efficient. Worth the value and I always recommend this place to others.

Typical rates for a car wash. I liked that the signs ask politely not to hand wash during busy times. An extra brush is supplied in the bays - a thoughtful touch that means my husband can follow along scrubbing as I lay on the foam. Very clean inside.

My friend just told me about this car wash tucked away in the beautiful area of Hawkwood. All I have to say is what a hidden gem! This carwash was so clean, and so reasonable for pricing. I will definitely be back!

Been to a lot of Car wash since I am in Automotive industry but oh man, this is the First one I found that had smooth brushes and the car wax was superb. I felt like I just drove a New Car out of the Showroom. If there were more stars I would give them. Loved the customer service which in my eyes is the most important thing. Sending you my car buddies your way. Good luck and thank you

Easily on my list as one of the best car wash/detailing shop in the city. With so many options and services with great quality products. The professionalism of the owner blows my mind of how well they take care of their customer’s needs. 10/10!

Good car wash. Time has decreased slightly for what you get for a dollar but still competitive. My go to when I’m in the NW.

I moved outside of Calgary but still go to Sudsy's whenever I can. Just feels right coming here and there's always someone if you ever need any help.

Great place to totally clean your car. The interior shampoo wand/brush is a little awkward but did the job. Seats looked great when finished.

Line-ups to get in on chinook-y winter days when the roads are slushy. Go there during the weekdays or weekend evenings to potentially avoid wait times. Min $2 charge. Clean facility. Takes credit cards with change machine on-site.

Get there for a quick wash or a really detailed one. They take credit cards and I think coins as well.

Nice place to wash your by yourself. Its covered & options are easy to understand. I went for all options THE First time & spend $14 & next time i was aware what i have to use & how long spend $7.
So it all depends how messy is your car.
Only one drawback once you are in queue there is no turning back if you have cars ahead & behind you waiting.

Always our Calgary Landscaping company A Green Future wash our trucks here and personal cars. STAFF are awesome and friendly. Clean calgary nw carwash

Long standing (spray) car wash located in NW Calgary's Hawkwood district in the most Easterly part of the Hawkwood Village Shopping plaza, and in the same structure (drive around back) as Hawkwood Auto Service. Equipped with 7 self serve bays, the facility is always clean and usually staffed by pleasant attendants who will supply change if needed. There is an on site change machine should you run out; which.is a good possibility, seeing as this convenience and cleanliness comes at a price. It's on the expensive side.with sprayer time on the lower side I have seen. This being said however, all of the equipment is in good service order and has all of the regular additives (soaps, waxes, special cleaners) available by switch. Each bay is also equipped with a central Vacuum attachment.and floor mat holders. Their vending machines also take VISA/Mastercard by pre-authorization. Line ups can be lengthy on busy days.

Hidden Gem. A Great, clean, well maintained car wash. Very helpful and respectful staff that's eager to assist. There was a line that moved quickly. I love that the community supports a local small business. Would definitely recommend this car wash!

People were friendly and eager to help! Very clean bays and easily accesible. Wait times were not as long as cars kept moving in and out in a timely manner. Got my suv cleaned and vacuumed.looks as good as new. I would definitely recommend this car wash)

First time here today and to any self-service car wash. I was pleasantly surprised with the service and results of the wash!
Thankfully a gentleman in the next bay over from me noticed my struggles with the process of a “u-wash” system and helped straight away to get the right sequence of options for my dirty and bug spattered truck! Sparkling clean now!
Turns out, this helpful person was the owner of this business, washing his own truck. Very happy and will return.

The best place I found to wash your car/truck lots of water/soap and all the amenities to keep your vehicle spotless, I know for I'm in there all the time. I go nowhere else try it you will see what I mean

Such a nice manual car wash! I really liked that they had music playing so you can listen while you wash your car, something I haven't seen that before! Also they have a good amount of stalls and the system works well for washing the car. It seems the time runs out so fast but it lets you know when time is running out so you have a heads up which is nice! I did find it a little confusing of how to get in the car wash, but once you find it once you're good.

For 12 years ive come here until today.
The vac looks like it came from a rejected garage sale, totally Useless.no exuse for not upgrading to a quality vac.
It seems the owner is in denial to replace his ineffiecent vacums, and to say im not capable to use one, shows his true colors as sly buisness man.

Clean bays. Price is reasonable. If you use credit card. It will show up first as $24.95. Wait a couple of days and the actual amount will be billed to your card. Make sure you push the stop button and go to the side wall and get a receipt. It's a great a place to wash your car or truck. No trailers.

Great Facility! Nice and clean! There is a staff to help you, even on weekends. [January 26,2019: I also Got charged $24.95 for a 11 dollar wash and vacuum on January 26th, but that was only preauthorization and I got my money back 3 days later. ]

This is one of the better hidden gems ive been too. Ive been comming here for years and the prices are extremely reasonable. Its never overly crowded.

I found this gem a year or so ago. Nice to see an owner that cares about the customer’s experience, in this day and age. Highly recommended!

Wow this place is very clean, the washing equipment is great, nice and warm inside and it takes credit card. I just need to work out how to get the members card so I can save money on my weekly trip over

I like this car wash because you're in your own wash bay and not like the newer ones where it's front and back car wash.
