Canary wharf car wash (under Waitrose).

Omg - the worst car wash I have ever been to.
I was to,d they'd need 1.5h to get my RRS clean at 4.30. I came back at 5.40 saying I was ok to wait for 20 min. I got the car back at 6.30 looking pretty clean (considering it kind of dark in the car park). Paid £40 for gold+ wash which included "intensive hoovering". On the arrival home I checked how really clean was he RRS - and omg... The alloys were half cleaned, the boot was nowhere near to be intensively hoovered, the dashboard was not even touched, the cap holder was not touched, the radio buttons were not cleaned at all etc etc etc. un Censored believable. I went to car wash in chelsea - month ago -£20. I was quite disappointed by the quality of their job and obviously crossed the car wash out of the list. But now even their job was outstanding in comparison to the canary wharf. Vadim A.

^^^ Shocked To be fair, paying £40 for a wash and Hoover, I'd expect a decent job.

If Vadim had come on here calling foul on £5 hand job <sniggers> then maybe, but paying £40 I think he has the right to a happy ending Whistle Rolling with laughter ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Maybe they rushed too much because I was waiting... Still no excuse to return a car like that. They cleaned the roof well though Thumbs Up Laughing

No more of them, as I have closed my membership with Reebok gym at Canary Wharf. The best gym in the UK - I would say. Amazing place. Any member here? Vadim A.

You must be not well... £40 for a car wash. You hear here and there people paying in the range of £10-£20. For £40 they should take the wheels off and clean them inside out, check the pressure and possibly balance them after putting back on Laughing Vadim A.

My guess is they hadn't even started cleaning it when you got back and then kind of rushed the job.
I agree for £40 it should be a good job, washed, dried, dash clean, hoover etc all to a good standard. Thumbs Up MY10 3.0 HSE Santorini Black, Ivory Premium & extended leather, privacy, paddles, diamond turned alloys, Ipod lead that charges, tasmods, rrsport.co.uk stickers

Jeep 4.0 High Output XJ 94 6" teraflex lift, c/w rear coils, 9500lb winch, 35" TSL super swamper boggers, safari snorkel, custom made bumpers, tom woods custom double cardon driveshaft, twin electric fans. Don't follow it..............you wont make it. The first 4 x 4 by far.

isn't this why they invented online grocery shopping Question to stop you buying stuff off the shelf that you didn't need and to stop people spending £40 on a car wash just because its in canary wharf

Yeap.......£40 at the local Latvian run car wash in my local town (Rusden) would have had your car looking like new inside and out.

No excuse for poor service!
