The Wax Shop

Probably the best detail shop in Calgary. I work in the auto industry and most dealerships couldn't do the same quality work as the Wax shop does. The price is very fair as well. I would highly recommend people to Wax shop.

Took both my vehicle and my wife's in for a full detail and they came back amazing. Got all the dog hair out of the carpet and seats. My car was one of the worst they'd seen and it came out looking new. Great service. Would use them again anytime.

Honestly I was pretty excited to bring by car here after reading the reviews but the experience left a lot to be desired.

I had my Mustang detailed as I'm trying to sell it. The last time I had it detailed(at a different shop) they did a terrible job with the spray wax leaving a white film in numerous places all over the car which ended up looking almost like body damage.

I brought it here as they are rated #1 on here and have very affordable prices, but when they returned my car to me, the exterior was still atrociously dirty. They then tried to divert by telling me how good of a job they did on the interior, which in my honest opinion needed to be vacuumed and it would have been fine. I drive this car maybe 5000km/year and only in the summer so it's not like it was that bad to begin with.

After doing a walk around the car I asked the cleaner how they clean it? with a pressure washer or how so. He responded by telling me that they take the time to hand wash every inch of it, spray it down, and then spray it with wax to get it to dry nicely. I began to walk around the car and rub off the scuffs and wax that were on it before I brought it in, and told him I was really not impressed. He then went around with his towel and hit as many spots as he could before he told me that was as good as it gets. I asked the guy if they were able to bend their knees in the shop, as everything on the bottom foot or so of the car was completely untouched.

The car took 2.5 hours or so to clean and the package I purchased had an estimated time of 3.5-5.5 hours, to me it felt like they just rushed it out and didn't really care to do a good job.

The window trimming was also stained before bringing it in from the other detailing, and I asked if they could get it clean, to which I was told it was ruined and couldn't be recovered. 15 minutes at home with a magic eraser and it was spotless.

After being told it was as good as it was going to get, I drove home, grabbed a microfiber glove and the magic eraser and spent about an hour and a half actually getting the car clean, turns out it was in way better shape than I left the shop thinking it was, everything I thought were dings or scuffs came right out with a tiny bit of work.

To be quite honest I don't even really know why I paid for the service when I had to go through and redo everything myself, the staff were nice and friendly but that doesn't change the fact that I had to re-detail my car.

Just hoping to spread the word and warn people that even if reviews tell you this is the place to go, seems to me that you get what you pay for.

These guys have the best ratings for a reason, went the extra mile and even had the customer service aspect locked down. Keep up the good work!

I brought my unbelievably dirty vehicle to the team at The Wax Shop. I was extremely impressed with the stellar customer service and professional work done. The car never looked better and I am still amazed at how dry the seats were after they had completed a full interior shampoo. I recommend this place for your detailing needs. You won't be disappointed!
