The woman who runs the laundromat is absolutely terrible to deal with. She's extremely rude and heaven forbid you ask her for any assistance. Probably the worst customer service I've ever experienced. If you do not want to help people with the machines or laundry, working at a laundromat is probably not the right career choice.

  • Nick Harry

It’s come time for me to run out of my tokens. I really enjoyed this place, but it’s now costing me $28 to wash my car. The staffs been polite, however I’m finding the timers are really short now, and I can no longer justify spending this much washing my car, when for half price I can go to a touch less with undercarriage wash.

  • Evan Johnson-Mailey

Place used to be very good, now it’s awful I’ll never go back here. It used to have good pressure decent timing to wash. Now it’s $2.00 for a token for the same length of wash but half the pressure very weak ! Take your $2 elsewhere can know you’re gonna get a clean vehicle ! $20 later it’s semi clean !

  • Milton Graham

Drying area for two cars need to be eliminated. Extremely tight to swing in and out of last 3-4 bays before exit door. Like to know how many MPI claims this has created. $2 Tokens are ok, but washing time hasn't increased much compared to what time you got previously from $1.

  • firefighterjme

I spent $10 on 5 tokens and was told each token was 2 minutes. Nope, 1 min 20 seconds, i timed it. I had to go back for more tokens because I couldn't finish my whole truck. Should of just payed $12 for a wash at coop. Cost me $20 and I have 1 non refundable token left over.

  • Skyy Dreamer

Washers and dryers are surprisingly big and very well maintained. Great friendly staff, always clean. If you're looking for the best laundromat then come down to Rainbow Car Wash and Laundromat. Best in Winnipeg!! Will for sure be back for their business.

  • Eric Sawatzky

No complaints. It’s a typical local car wash facility. This place has been here for decades. It is convenient. Price point is similar to other facilities. Never had a problem. Our neighbourhood is lucky to have a business in the area such as this one.

  • A K

Excellent excellent staff. Best car wash in town don’t charge you by the minute which a lot of places do. Still cost you about 6 to 8 bucks to wash your car properly but at other places it would cost about 15-16 for the same amount of time spent

  • Christopher L. Roulette

Great quality water/soap and spray wax finish. The one attendant working is very friendly and helpful, if requiring assistance in the laundry area. I always forget to ask her name, but she always has a smile. Definitely recommend this car wash.

  • Gabe McKenty

This place requires you to buy tokens to wash your vehicle, you cannot use coin or card like most other car washes. Tokens! What is this, an arcade? 1992?Each token is $2 and only gave about 20 seconds of wash time per. Will not be going back.

  • Dee Ford

I have loved and used this car wash for years! Always been happy with the cost and amount of time per cycle. Today changed that. I understood increasing the price, but don't understand having to use tokens instead of toonies. I used to wash

  • Danny Cross

This place used to be my go to for car washes, but can go no more. Tokens are 2 bucks, which seems to be the norm now,but here that will only give 1min 20 seconds of wand time. Costing much more than drive thru now and much more work. They

  • Relax with Aay

One of the best location in town. Even if they are busy they have the capacity to get lot of vehicle in bay and waiting outside by the fence without bothering the traffic. This is one of my favorite place in neighbourhood because of lot of

  • Francis Atroszenko

Waste of money...dryers do not work properly...1 out of 4 somewhat dried but the other 3 cold clothes in other words no heat and constantly going out of order then to have to reset constantly....employee very rude and just sits there doing

  • corey matthews

A standard wand wash with lots of bays and a change machine. I give it a low rating because it uses those foamy brushes that go limp when your time is up. I personally like to get a lot of suds on then take my time and give the whole car a

  • Carlos Almeida

Most expensive coin-operated car wash I've used in the city. I wash my car fairly often and was in the West end of town so decided to rinse it off. I was shocked to find that the token I spent $2 on only lasted me a minute and a half. Car

  • Artem Shevchenko

Their timers actually last way less than timers at other wand washes (compare to one on Scurfild Blvd and another one on Wall St). Normally I use 3$ to rinse my car all around including roof and wheels. At this car wash I put 3$, was sure

  • Russ T

Owner is the worst. Just asked why the $2 token didn't last long. Maybe a minute and 20 seconds. He avoided the question and started talking about how he pays to much for water. Last time I checked this place was a laundromat and car wash

  • Tee Jay

Nothing like giving your car a real good clean down and then it rains haha. Weather aside, I've been coming here for years, I like that they have change here for purchase for dummies like me that always forget to bring change‍♂️ …

  • Bruce Field-Jones

I used the car wash. Enough room for entry and exit with my car. The stall I was in had lots of room and the washing equipment that I used worked as expected. Even a small two car drying area inside so you did not take up a washing stall.

  • Ian Hornung

Loved finding this gem on our trip into Winnipeg and beyond. Stopped in to wash the bugs and grime off the car from our way into Winnipeg from calgary and was not disappointed. For 6$ in the coin operated stall I was able to get it clean

  • Jeanne Sakura Anne

Great place to wash my car and my laundry! The car wash is $4, which is two twoonies. I do a soap then rince, IF you are able bodied this is the lowest priced wash option. I've used the laundromat here as well. Many washing machines and

  • Alan Richards

Been a go to car wash for me over the years.. never been impressed with the time you get for the money, but when it's convenient I would stop in. Drove in today, saw that you now need to buy non-refundable tokens.. being I just needed a

  • Rob Lelieveld

Worst car wash now. Have to buy tokens for $2 and get maybe a minute and a half. Have a compact car and can't even rinse half the car on a token. It was so cold in the car wash the water would just freeze on the car and not melt so I

  • Choisi Me

I loved that the wand wash was open so late on a Sunday (I just got into town, and bug guts needed to be stripped). The machines all worked efficiently, unlike some wand washes where every coin may be one that won't work. The wands

  • Mike Purll

Great place to self-wash your car, lots of bays available, and usually only short waits during peak times. It would be nice if they had a credit/debit card option for their wash units (cash only). Change machine on site.

  • Yosuke Watabe

Everytime I come here The lady at the counter takes forever with the coins, maybe it's bad luck but she seems to always be hiding/ignoring you and you're forced to go to the counter now unless you have bills on you.

  • madison m

First & LAST time here. We didn’t know how it operated so we simply asked the lady working how much for a load she responded “figure it out yourself, go read it” disgusting employment. Place was also SUPER dirty.

  • Tami Richards

Decent car wash but it's so expensive now.. You have to get your money converted to tokens and they cost $2 each. Be prepared to spend at least $10 for a quick wash. You dint get much time per token.

  • Shannon Bileski

Place was clean, friendly service, all the wands and brushes seem to work, not a fan of having to get tokens in order to get a car wash. Should be up with the times with electronic machines.

  • Michael Sparks

This is my go-to car wash in Winnipeg it is located on Portage Avenue West. Usually pretty clean and you can also use their laundry facilities. $2.00 now to start wash (Acceptable increase).

  • Brian Rapinchuk

Worst coin-op car wash I have ever used. Have to buy their tokens to activate the wash ($2@ token) and it is the shortest cycle I have EVER experienced! Absolutely will not be returning.

  • careymark24

This place uses tokens, 1 token is $2 and it takes about 20 tokens to wash my half ton, that’s $40 and it left a residue all over my truck like dirty water. We will never go here again.

  • Emery Bastian

Good vacuum and prices, however a 30-49 y/o woman gave a bunch of attitude for zero reason. All I asked was to exchange a 10$ for coins bc the machine wasn’t reading my bill.

  • Robin Mondor

It was a spectacular experience. The car wash attendant was extremely fun to talk to and even "jokingly" tried to employ me to fold laundry in exchange for a loonie or two.

  • Dwight Froude

I find that it is always clean in the bays and staff are friendly. Went again today and still the same as before. Great place to clean your vehicle. Not much has changed.

  • B Star

Been using this place for years, the tokens are not worth the 2 bucks they cost ,the time per token is ridiculous, I've started using the brushless wash at the shell

  • Harry Brown

I have been going to this car wash for many years. I went in and bought 4 tokens , went and used the first, no problem. Tried the second and it fell through the

  • Geoffrey Donaldson

$30 to do 2 loads of laundry and wash my car which I only got about 3 minutes to do for 6$ The machines are absolute garbage do not ever go to this establishment

  • William Pot

Worst and most expensive car wash as well as the buggy bath same owner. Avoid avoid avoid. Staff is not friendly either. There are .uch better and cheaper

  • T Mo

Feel very violated using this car wash the allocated time was short, pressure was minimal and the soap extremely little. Shamefull

  • Vitalii Antonov

Today. Throwing in a coin for the vacuum cleaner, it did not turn on. To my question, the staff replied that they could not help.

  • Roy&Kim Duquette

Poor soap! Poor wash brush! Poor wash time! ( >90 sec for 2$) poor technology! (Token based). Pleasant staff! Clean environment!

  • Gerry Proteau

Basic car wash and coin laundromat. Good selection of commercial size washers if you need to wash large single items.

  • Stephen Canada

1st time there in the evening and the lady was super friendly and helpful with me being a laundry mat rookie

  • Dmytro Selivanov

Extremely short time for your 2 dollar token - just 90 seconds. "Hot rinse" is not hot at all.

  • J S

It's not bad but those coins sure dont last way to fast compared to others car washes

  • bluesbombers

Good carwash. Not expensive at all. Mornings are best time never too busy.

  • Lawrence Janzen

Wash Times have got very SHORT now and it is $2 coin per 1.5 minutes!

Always get a good wash on my car for 4 bucks!
