WAVES Car Wash

Best place for a do it yourself car wash in Nanaimo. Always clean. Nice to have the credit card payment rather than needing a bunch of loonies. Also has the drive through wash, but I prefer to wash it myself.

I went to get my car washed today and after waiting in line, unfortunately my card wasn’t working and I didn’t have cash. The gentleman working KINDLY offered to allow me through the car wash. I was beyond grateful and will be for sure using this service again. Thank you☺️

Great place to wash the vehicle. Easy to wash the van. Very clean booths.

It was great still affordable wasjhed car with a couple bucks loving it we tried eorrrrtk on

Wash was terrible for $15 this is one of the worst in town. This is for the automated wash. It was maintained, convenient and flash. Wash phase needs to be longer and more pressure as with some of the others in the area.

Best car wash I have ever been too, no lie!

Located on the road that leads directly to the highway in and out of town, this is a great location for a quick stop. If you need to clean your vehicle before or after a trip. There is a drive-thru wash station and also multiple wash bays with wands and brushes for cleaning your vehicle. The other end there is a station with vacuum cleaners for vacuuming out the inside as well.

The washes are $10, $15 (deluxe/token), and $19.The $15 deluxe is so fast and I don't think it does a great job. I'm not sure if this is the normal cost for carwashes these days but it feels so expensive for what you get.

I'm not sure why people left good reviews. I'm guessing they're friends of the owner. These photos are of my van AFTER the drive-through car wash. Exactly as dirty as before paying for the car wash. The car wash just sprayed chemical foams all over the van, then did nothing but sit there. After sitting there for awhile, the car wash sprayed the foam off, mostly, and then instructed me to pull out of the car wash. I was so upset, I went to Esso and asked for the phone number of the manager because it had taken my time and money. The manager was not on sight, but the attendant at the gas station said she gets a lot of complaints. I called the number she gave me for Mike, and left a message, and never heard back from anyone.

LOVE this car wash, especially at night. It does a great job, and at night the auto carwash's light show is amazing.
