| New huge car wash in Coquitlam by Ikea....any good?
Has anyone tried the new automated car wash in Coquitlam just off highway 1 by Ikea? If yes, how good is it and how much does it cost? I drove by a few days ago and there were 4 or 5 cars lined up just past the gates where you pay.....

it works okay. its around 10 to 15 bucks. It wont get under spoilers or parts of your mirror, and it wont do underneath or wheel wells. Depends how picky you are with scratches as well. I go to the self serves car wash bay with a bucket and soap. They have pressure washer so I can get underneath the wheel well as well as underneath the car and give it a good cleaning.

but the machine do wash it quite so even with line up the wait is not that long.

TL;DR - if you go to SHINE or SPEEDWASH - don't forget to wipe your ass.... your car behind that is..

Same with the rear badge, because of the contours it always leaves tons of crap around. But time and time again I still keep going cause I'm wayyyy too lazy to it myself haha

Those nontouchless always scratch paint. Touch less is better but still quite harsh

Tried the Coquitlam one the other day, came out a lot cleaner than any other touchless washes I've tried. I chose the $15 wash which included undercarriage spray. If you don't mind swirls it's great, I bring my daily there cause I don't really care lol.

Definitely the best car wash in town. I've tried them all, this one gets the car the most clean. Costs more though.
