Shiny Time Car & Dog Wash

Don’t waste your money. They tend to let the wash run out of soap, and then give you attitude when you point out there is a problem.

I used the coin car wash when I was there. They have 3 bays and not much space to maneuver in. Don’t get stuck behind someone slow, because its hard to switch bays once you are inside. While I was waiting I checked out the dog washing bay. It is $ 10 for 15 minutes. For the price, I would rather wait until I got home. They have a token machine if you don’t have loonies and toonies and tons of those vending machines selling auto related wipes. They also have a machine that you can pay to have your carpet floor mats cleaned.
The coin car wash price is $ 2 per cycle. I think you get 2:40, which is reasonable.
I Would like to hear a louder noise that you are almost out of time, so I can add more money.
Also, the bays are drive through. This is problematic on days where there is high wind and the water blows back on you.
Would have loved to give this place 4 stars, but the long wait time and drive through bays not blocking the wind made then loose a star.

I had one free express wash and thought it was a decent basic rinse. But I just went in today and paid for an 8 dollar regular wash which is supposed to have body shampooing. As far as I could tell it was exactly the same as the express wash and cleaned next to NOTHING. There’s so much dirt left all over the car and windows. Really disappointing. Won’t bother going back there ever again and I’m not that picky.

Just came back from there, 1^st time user. Wash bay was a bit tight as I have a full size pickup. All in all, pretty good, lots of foam soap from brush, decent rinse pressure, will certainly go back.

My review is for the Dog Wash.
Being forced to buy tokens from a machine was a pain, especially since the change machine only provide coins, and the token machine only accepts bills… so was forced to buy $ 20 worth of tokens, but figured can use the extra another time.
Then got our 2 dogs all soaped up and ran out of time, no big deal, put in coins for another 15 minutes… but wait, the machine stops accepting the coins at 8, and to start the water it costs 10 tokens… gah!
Tried to find some staff at the car wash area to help us, nobody is there.
Called the Emergency numbers they list on the wall above the dog wash, no answer, not able to leave a message. Find another number on the glass door of the dog wash, and man answers, says he will be there in 3 minutes.
Another couple stop by wanting to wash their dogs, we tell them we are waiting for someone to fix the machine! We suggest our usual place, Wash n Go on Dundas West and Scarlett Road… we are wishing we went there instead of trying this place!
The guy does show up and after opening up the machine discovers, like we said, it is not accepting more coins… fiddles with internal buttons for a while and then it recognizes the coins and the water starts. We finish rinsing off the dogs, and the guy says he is going to put a sign on the door saying the dog wash closes at 6… that’s nice, we are there at 4 pm!!!
From now on we will return to Wash n Go, because they have staff working on site as long as the laundry part is open…
Have no idea what the car wash part is like here, but again, I would rather go to Wash n Go because their set up is better and has more bays for cars.
Bye bye Shiny Time…

Went for a touch-​less car wash. My car was only a little but dirty but the wash didn’t get dirt off of the baseboard. Went back for a second wash and attendant was ASLEEP in the booth!!! Told him car was not clean and asked to run again — no apology nothing… but put the car in. After that, no change. Went back and asked for money back. Gave me a refund but no apology, no sincerity… very bad customer service. Won’t be going back. Check out the picture of the guy sleeping in the booth!

On top of being the most adorably named car wash in town, this place also offers some decent carwash options.
I only used their touchless wash, which was pretty decent at $ 10, taxes in. There was some confusion for me when I was following the arrows that took me through some weirdo waiting area/​roundabout, but once I figured it out, it was fine. God help me if there’s ever a lineup, though. You pay right in front of the carwash bay. They take all manner of cards and cash. Best of all, the instructions that come out of the speaker are voiced by a friendly sounding young man, rather than a robot. The super wash takes about 5 minutes and seemed to do a pretty decent job. They also offer detailing and carpet shampooing, which I may just take them up on once the weather gets warmer.
Their site also says that they handle their waste water responsibly, which is a HUGE HUGE PLUS for me!

Shiny Time also offers a self serve dog wash in addition to their car services. It is a small room with and elevated wash basin, so you don’t have to bend over the tub. Hose includes options for shampoo, conditioner, anti tick and flea and rinse. There is also blow dryer. which is great ’cause all you need to bring with you is your dog and a brush. You use the same tokens as the car wash and can easily have a clean pet for under $ 10, and if you own a dog you know that is a DEAL. Easy to get to on transit and right next to a 711 for an after the wash slurpie.
