Sparkle Car Wash

I prefer Sparkle to Alpine for the self-​service bays because you are charged for the time you use the equipment not from the minute you drive in to when you exit. So all in all, my wash here is usually $ 2-​$ 3 less than at Alpine.
That being said, the equipment is sticky and sometimes I struggle with getting the right option to start on their keypad (telephone button) system.

St. Albert is often on my way into the city from work and I frequently stop at Sparkle Car Wash to clean my vehicle. Always have had great service, never have to wait too long to get in and prices are reasonable! I am aware there has recently been a change of ownership/​management and I’m surprised by some of the negative reviews since I believe they are doing a great job. Would recommend!

My company works in oil and gas production operations. We drive on some very poor roads, with lots of mud. We have 7 vehicles that are routinely washed at Sparkle, we typically spend in excess of $ 500. /​mo at the that car wash. We have been bringing our vehicles exclusively to Sparkle for washing for the last two years, in that time we have noted a change in the operation of the car wash since ownership changed last year, but nothing really too bad (we find it’s not as clean, the staff not quite as helpful (there are some language issues), but I still think it’s a good facility, and the prices are still pretty good).
Today the young man who works as an attendant at the car wash told me my truck was too dirty and muddy and suggested that I take it to Big Toys to wash it. He suggested it was too much work for him to clean the mud off the floor in the bay as he couldn’t just wash it down into the sump.
I would like to apologize to the management of Sparkle Car Wash, I didn’t realize that we should only bring clean vehicles into the car wash. I’m sorry for bringing my muddy truck in, but don’t worry, it probably won’t happen again, not for my truck or any of the other six vehicles we own.
I’m not very happy about being asked not to come to a car wash because my vehicle was too dirty — IT“S A CAR WASH! it’s sole function is to clean vehicles. I’m pretty sure I can find somewhere else to take my vehicles, my mud, and my money.

Been going here for years. Last week there hose fell off the rood and smashed the tonneau cover on my truck and put a dent in it. Gave them my information so their insurance could contact me to replace the $ 1200 tonneau cover their equipment damaged. Still havent heard from them. I would not recommend this place to anyone terrible service and a death trap

Like Sean W I used to go here whenever one of our two cars needed a wash. I was always pleased with the experience but not anymore. I was there last week and found the machines gave very little time for a toonie compared with my last time. Also, the water was cool and continued very little soap. It seems they have diluted the soap solutions and greatly reduced the time.

I must say that The owner did make efforts to contact me and that is admirable. He was not the problem but an employee and we can’t always be on hand to make sure things happen properly. I will give them a second chance but just not for a bit.
I hope others have better expereinces due to the sharing of this last visit. :)
