    johnny rockets sucks man. dont go there. the didnt dry my car very well. had a lot of water spots on the bumper. and its about double the price of the wash you get at petro. im all about the coin spray. 2 bucks and some paper towels can do your car well.

    I dunno... I usually hit up my own driveway, but we've had issues with water pipes bursting outside in the winter, so their shut off, and I usually use the coin wash on Horton road, near Heritage.

    Although I like the drive-through washes because they was the underside of your car... one thing I'm worried about is being too low for the wash. I had a buddy get stuck at the front of one because his car was too low, and mine is pretty low... so ya..

    There is a car wash on 17th ave right across from Ernest Manning High School, shell gas station. Its called "Mile-Wide Car Wash". Its a self wash location with individual bays.

    THere is also a car wash on Richmond Road. right across beside the sport check mall area. Its called western pride. Also another self-wash with individual bays.



    As someone said earlier.. the "dog wash" in brentwood is pretty good. I usually take a drive up there to wash my car.

    i say do it yourself. that way you know its good johnny rockets suck balls. overpriced and they treat your car like shit. not to mention their regular wash for 11 bucks is not even as good as a petro basic wash for 5 dollars !!

    not supposed to do that. against calgary law.

    the phosphates in the soaps, as well as the dirt/silt get into the storm sewer drains, which flow, untreated to the river.
