Car was dirty after the wash and I needed to finish the job with towels. Terrible attitude from the owner because I needed to use more than one towel. I will not come back and am encouraging family and friends to take their business elsewhere. I don't like giving my money to pricks. read more

See a lot of bad reviews for this place but I've never had a negative experience. Is it the most thorough car wash in the world? No, it's an automated one, but you're also not paying somebody $200 to detail your car. It's great to get a quick clean up and the vacuums are good. Name me a better car wash for the price? There isn't. read more

Friendly helpful staff. However, the quality of the wash was subpar. The brushes left 3 vertical scratches on the sides of my back license plate. The towels provided to dry the car afterwards were all damp to wet, and there were several areas of dirt left which I had to get rid of using the wet towel. Additionally, the mechanism used to pull my car through the wash in neutral rendered my car undriveable after leaving the vacuum station. It was bucking badly. I had to call a tow to a car place and get a rental (over $550) to find the mechanism somehow got my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee stuck in 4Low, Rock Mode. The car place had to disconnect and reconnect the battery, recycle and reset it, to get it back to normal. I will not be going there again. read more

Good car wash. Wash did a good job and with towel they give to let you fine tune your wash and vacuum, I'd say they where better than the spray it yourself type. read more

I visited Kalispell Montana for a few week and came across this car wash, ended up using it 3 time during my stay. All 3 times I was there I was helped out by one of the Attendants his name was Mark, all I can say is WOW the customer service I received from him was stellar! Especially from a car wash never in my life was I treated so well. I hope you get to see this review Mark and thanks for you attitude and strong work ethic which is sadly missing in todays workforce. read more

I've been here several times. It was always a sub par wash job but the last time I wasted my $13 I was mad. A brand new black Honda Pilot and it didn't even remove the bugs from the windshield and dirt off the car. It isn't winter, hasn't rained in a few weeks and the car was just dusty. Well I could of done better at home. Plus the drying towels were all wet so drying the car was a challenge. So disappointed with this place because it is big, clean and convenient but a lousy car wash. read more

Just had the best experience! Mark is not only an amazing salesman but it's nice to see an employee put there heart into there job! Very helpful and kind!!! Thanks for making my day better! read more

The cow needs competition. Brand new pickup aith nothing more than bugs and grit from a trip to and from missoula. The simply can't get it clean. They have vehicles going through the wash as fast as the wash can take them. We need another car wash and not a spray only wash like at the local gas stations. read more

We ran our rental car through here before we left town. It did a great job. We will use it again, the next time we are in town. I do recommend. read more

Blue Cow - Blue Cow - Car Wash Near Me - Kalispell, Montana

Under normal circumstances I would not give a place one star unless they were really awful well this place qualifies. You pay $13 for a car wash they provide blue towels that are damp for you to wash your vehicle and in a matter of 15 minutes I was thoroughly insulted twice. First I rolled up like most drive-through car wash is have You can vacuum your car before you go through the wash so you get all the debris out of your door jams. I started to do so and was stopped by and mail a tenant saying you can't use the vacuums for free. I then informed him I was not using it for free I was using it before I went through the wash then told me I could not continue until I paid for a wash. And then very politely told him that most carwashes allow you to vacuum your car before you go through the wash even if you're paying for the vacuum and I told him I would pay for the vacuum if that was the problem and he said no you can't use the vacuum before you go through the wash. I didn't sucked it up and went and paid $13 for a car wash. After coming out the other side I had to go back through because I believe it or not the car wash didn't do a very good job with moderate dirt and road grime on the exterior of my suv. They allowed me to go back through that was decent. I then pulled up to the vacuums to continue vacuuming my vehicle. About halfway through the vacuuming I went to grab some damn blue towels that are offered as a courtesy. In the basket was piles of blue towels that were clean so I grabbed a couple to go hit the spot on the exterior of the vehicle at the car wash missed I then went to the inside and started wiping down the dash and Salon like anyone would. I don't have a female attended come over and tell me I was only allowed one towel to use. I looked at her and then looked at the basket and then looked around for signage only to find there is no sign anywhere that states that you can only use one towel. I then said oh I didn't realize that it doesn't say that anywhere and for 13 bucks it should be OK to use a couple of towels if you need them right? She then said no sir I need one of your towels you're not allowed to have more than one towel I looked at her with an odd look and said I'm just about done so let me finish up and I'll remember that for next time. She literally stood there and said sir I need one towel from you I'm going to have to ask you to leave At no point was I ever belligerent rude or should I use a negative tone of voice. At no point was I being unkind, and at no point was I out of line by presuming I could use the vacuum before I went through the wash nor use a couple of towels are which obviously we're going to be returning in the bucket to said dirty towels. Their customer service is genuinely horrific not one but two people acted out of line and I would never want to subject anyone else to go through this place I don't believe they deserve business read more

State of the art facility- from start to finish this car wash was amazing. I opted for the premium wash and was blown away. Not only that, but the staff is incredibly helpful and very professional and nice. This establishment is run extremely efficiently and you can clearly tell how much there is invested in the place. I would highly recommend and plan to come back here soon :) read more

Blue Cow - The Blue Cow out front - Car Wash Near Me - Kalispell, Montana

See all

We had been traveling on some muddy backroads in a remote part of Montana, and our truck was caked with the type of mud that turns to concrete after it's dried. It was on the mirrors, the steps, the windshield... there wasn't a nook or cranny that wasn't covered in the concrete-like mud. We went through the Blue Cow and advised the first attendant that if they couldn't get all the it off that we'd be back through for a second shot. The two attendants at the front of the carwash who spray the rig down before it goes through the brushes took one look at our formerly silver truck and went to town on it. They sprayed and scrubbed for several minutes, making certain the mud was off the mirrors, the steps, the tailgate... They even scrubbed the wheel wells. Needless to say, our truck was squeaky clean when we rolled out of the carwash. The front line team did an awesome job, and what they couldn't get off was removed by the brushes and sprays inside the wash. Nicely done. Worth every penny! read more

Went thru, like we have been for the last 5 years, and car hood and top of car was still dirty. Bugs were not even clean from front of car. Mark came out and said because we have a roof rack that our Jeep Cherokee cannot be cleaned in those places. But, it was before. So, will not return...especially if Mark is there. We were not the only ones complaining and noticing our cars were still dirty. Shame on you Blue Cow. read more

I had a small problem with my membership and reached out to customer service. I was greeted with such professionalism. My problem was corrected quickly and with kindness! I was blown away by my customer service experience. I was already a regular customer because the carwash is awesome, but now with my recent experience I couldn't be happier. Thank you Blue Cow Staff! you went above and beyond and I appreciate it! Linda read more

First time was today and all the do take your money and send you through. Quality 1to 10, is a 2. 15 bucks, what a joke. Now I appreciate the place I used to go to. Oh there is a giant puddle filled with muddy water you have to go through when you go to leave. read more

I've been a long time member here, Mark came out and wouldn't let me vacuum my car without going through the car wash, after the car wash broke my side mirror a week before!!! Ridiculous. read more

Our truck was filthy from driving dusty mountain gravel roads to fish. You can vacuum yourself before or after the wash. Soft bristle auto wash with hand dry. All the bugs came off the front grill. Very pleased with how clean the truck was after the wash. Highly recommend. read more

Best car wash I've ever been to! Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. The car wash itself washes every bug, dirt, and speck of dust. The line moves pretty quick and the prewash is a really nice touch. The unlimited monthly wash club is a great value! Plus, they have a blue cow! read more

Best car wash around. Always fast and their equipment gets your car clean. Folks who work here are very helpful and polite.

I made the mistake of providing a 5 star review last week and just had the worst experience in customer service EVER with who must be the owners daughter... stay away... far away read more

A little advice, wash your car AFTER going to Glacier National Park. We stopped in here on the way to the park to wash the car. They came out right away and handed us a rag and a bottle of cleaner to get the inside of the car while we went through. It is basic window cleaner, nothing crazy special about that blue liquid. The vacuums are free, which is really nice, I get sick of dropping quarters in those like a bad 80's video game. They do an odd thing though, they open the driver door, which we weren't expecting, but they wiped the inside of the door jamb down. They don't do the passenger side, guess it is the driver side they figure gets the most action. Not to fear, we took the cleaner and did the passenger side ourselves. It was $10 for their complete package of cleaning. The car looked great, that was until we took it up on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. We encountered several water falls that looked clear, but were just full of silt, so the car was coated in that stuff. There is no way around it on that road this time of year. Some people were stopped under waterfalls due to the road being shut down to one lane and melting snow. You don't notice how bad the silt is until it dries. read more

Blue Cow - Car Wash Near Me - Kalispell, Montana

Be aware if something happens in the car wash like someone hitting their brakes in front of you and you hit them they won't do a damn thing! All they did was upgrade my $8 wash to the $13 wash! Thanks a lot ! Didn't even get a apology! I won't go back! read more

I have gone to this car wash for many year. I've been told when the line is long to vacuum in the back. Line was long went to vacuum in back guy came out yelling at me. I'm done There are many new car washes in town that offer free car washing and do a better job for l less. read more

If I could select 0 stars I would. The owners are super rude and terrible at using proper signage.on my way home from work, I decided stop at the car wash. I pulled in and got in line. Some stupid woman from the car wash came pounding on my window like a psycho. I ignored her and kept moving in line because I didn't trust her. Suddenly a guy comes up and starts threatening to refuse service because they didn't have proper signage about where the line started and I had accidentally cut in line.... This was a simple mistake that would have been resolved easily if they weren't psychotic. The workers are very nice... I just feel bad for anyone that has put up with their nonsense on a daily basis. This isn't my first bad experience at this Blue Cow Car Wash. They broke the mirror on my truck when they slammed it into my car window a few year's ago... no apology no help fixing it... That's the thanks I get for giving them second chance. I have $32/month membership that at times has not been used one or twice in the month... needless to say... I am canceling my membership and will never use them again... I will make sure to let anyone and everyone know how disgusting and unprofessional the owners are. They act certifiably crazy. STEER CLEAR... GO to Pro Clean --- they are always respectful and kind and always do a great job read more

I drove to Kalispell this past weekend and hit a bird on the way down. I asked if they could take the bird out of the grill because we refused to touch it. She said yes they will get it out... paid for a $13 car wash, went through the entire thing, got out and the bird was still there. I was pissed. Went back around and went WTF to the woman. One of her colleagues came, took the bird out and gave us a free wash again. To clean up the mess he made. Cool!! read more

Pretty impressed with this car wash. Not used to getting this much hands-on attention to my vehicle for this price. Came in with a really dirty vehicle after pulling the trailer through multiple states. Feels good to have a clean vehicle again after all those miles. The vacuums work great and very strong. The inside of our vehicle was pretty dirty after all those miles. Having towels to wipe down the interior at the end was a nice touch as well. I would like to spend a good day wiping down the inside of the truck but I think everything looks really good. Will definitely be back. read more

Believe it or not they turned me down to wash my car. They said it was too muddy. I wonder why I went to the carwash!

I won't go back there. Having just harvested an elk I pressure washed the bed of my pickup at home to remove hair and blood. Later the same day I stopped by this car wash for the ultimate or full service wash. As they always do they checked the bed of my pickup. I was refused a wash because the young lady found 2 small blood spots dried in the bed of my truck. I couldn't believe it! Keep in mind, this is Montana where we enjoy hunting and fishing. I immediately drove downtown to the Valvoline Express Car Wash. When I told them I had 2 spots of elk blood dried in the bed they congratulated me on the elk and then washed my truck. I WON'T GO BACK TO THE BLUE COW CAR WASH! read more

I would like to say that I used to be impressed with this car wash however the same cannot be said anymore it has turned into a production line with no attention to detail. This car wash just pumps the cars through one after another. The brushes don't ever get adequately cleaned and so if your vehicle has any sort of dirt on it don't expect it to come out without several scratches etched into the side of it. You can pay $13 for the most expensive wash and it will look like it didn't even get washed when it's done. How disappointing not to mention the swirls and scratches you have to fix now because of the dirty brushes. Do yourself a favor and wash it yourself or take your car elsewhere. read more

Great car washes and always seems like everyone is upbeat! They are fairly efficient as well and I have no complaints.

They are the best. The only problem I have is when waiting in line a car will cut through to the express lane and not use the vaccuum and cut in line. read more

WASTE OF MY TIME! dont use the blue cow if you own a truck that is actually used for work. get all the way to the wash and see a sign that says truck beds must be clean. so i run all the way back home...unload the truck bed and even go through the trouble of sweeping the bed out for them. go alllllll the way back, they find literally 2 drops of some sort of oil in the back of my truck and turn me away. If a person has to go through the trouble of power washing and scrubbing the truck bed just to get the vehicle washed you might as well wash the thing whole thing yourself and not even bother with the BLUE COW. DONT BOTHER YOU'LL PROBABLY GET TURNED DOWN! read more

Absolutely agree with the previous post - "Wash your car AFTER going to Glacier National Park". For anyone familiar with Brown Bear Car wash in the Northwest this car wash is absolutely comparable to them! After traveling across three states then through Glacier NP, my SUV was almost unrecognizable! They used soft brush which removed all the bugs and dirt/silt making it look brand new. I was hesitant to use a car wash since my car is brand new (only ever hand washing it) and being in a unfamiliar city. I would HIGHLY recommend this car wash after your trip through Glacier! The people here are very friendly and thorough! read more

Windshield wipers came off during wash. Was told to come back thre next day. I asked if the compensate for that they said no

Top notch customer care, arrived today after 4000 mile road trip, expressed concerns to staff about what needed to be done, they could not have been nicer and suv came out spotless. Five stars all day long! Go visit these folks. read more

Barely worth it. All bugs still on, even with $12 wash, hard water leaves lots of spots, vacuums are decent but not great. Only worth it if it's so cold you don't want to go outside. read more

Good exterior car wash. Interior is DYI. Skip the vacuums at the entrance - there are more vacuums at the exit of the wash machine. Waiting until afterward you can avoid jockeying the queue to get into machine & get through faster. There are help yourself cleaning towels & windex to finish the job at the vacuum stations. Drawback is that there is always a line to wait. Maybe because they are the only carwash in town (that I know of) with brushes & carwash people to dry the cars. read more

My advise is you can get a crappy wash cheaper! I went there and got the most expensive wash just to come home with a half clean car! Dust and streaks everywhere. So I went back to let them know. They didn't even look just gave me a free wash ... Guess what! Still spots of dust on my car. So I contacted them and was told they look into it. That was it! Never heard back! I washed my car somewhere else and I won't waste my money there anymore. Lost a customer for good! read more

As I sit after 40 mins in line at Blue Cow watching people cut in front of me thru the non "Express" lines I'm quite frustrated with the lousy job on my car. Convenient location is about the only good thing I can say. read more

I was excited about them upgrading closed for a couple of months while they installed new equipment. I liked it better before when they did hand drying. Now with the blowers you can get the same thing lots of other places for cheaper. read more
