The Hand Carwash

The worst car wash EVER! They are never open when they say they are. They constantly close early without warning. When you can catch them open they do a horrible half asses job. He workers are either under paid of just lazy and don’t care.
Only reason they are still in business is their location and lack of another option in west Vancouver. AVOID this car wash at all costs
Even if you try to call and speak to a manager about your poor experience or resolve an issue. no one has ever picked up the phone .
Extremely dis satisfied

Their service is poor — they’re not open when they say they are, not open Sunday’s and close early when they feel like it. I wouldn’t bother… head somewhere else if you can.

all i wanted to do was get my car vacuumed; it was about to rain and there was no point in getting a wash. i could see from the Hand Car Wash sign that the cost for a vacuum — clearly separated from the cost for a wash — was $ 5.95 (or $ 5.75, i now forget the exact change but it was $ 5something). i parked on the side, got out, and asked the lady walking around with the debit machine if i could just get a vacuum –no wash– and she replies, sure, you can just get a vacuum, pull over there (in the line after the wash and before the vacuums).
so i pull over, clear out my car, and wait until she gets back to me, at which point she asks for $ 15.70, for a vacuum, no wash. flabbergasted, i point to the sign and ask, what does the sign say? waving vaguely to her clipboard of red tickets and prices and mumbling something about the manager, she says, that $ 15.70 is the price for an interior vacuum. i wonder to myself, why couldn’t she just tell me the ridiculous price before i bothered to shimmy around and pull in line? is it more expensive to vacuum a car when there’s impending rain? is the cheaper price for an exterior vacuum? so i packed it in and drove off. if the ridiculous price were listed on the sign (ie, you will pay 3x this price for unexplained reasons — or was this in 6pt font at the bottom?) then i could have read it and driven off without the fuss and generation of irritation and bad will. not impressed. given the other review and the fact that they looked professional enough, i’m betting they do a good job, but the pricing needs serious clarification.

Love these guy! I’ve been there several times and they’ve always done a very thorough job both on the inside and out. Every time I got back in my car it felt like it was brand new again :)
I’ve gotta admit I took them for granted and although I loved them I didn’t even appreciate how awesome they were until I recently went to the worst hand car wash ever ‘Century Car Wash’ on E 2^nd near Quebec. This place is a complete waste of money.
Next time I need my car washed I’m crossing the bridge to see these guys again… unless anyone else has any good recommendation for good places close to downtown?
