After our winter season my vehicle couldn't be further from clean; it was dusty as can be and the…read moreinterior was soiled with dirt and salt as was the carpet underneath. I've been detailing my vehicles myself for years, but with a busier work/life schedule it's been harder to do on a regular basis, so this time around I sought out a professional detailer. I came across a lot of detailers with a long list of positive reviews and a solid reputation, but their services were priced a bit more than I could justify over just doing it myself again. Then finally I came across "The Wax Shop" on a car forum I sometimes visit. There were only a handful of reviews I found on the internet, but they were all positive. What really attracted me was how affordable their services were compared to other professional detailers, almost seemed too good to be true. So I booked my appointment expecting just a reasonable job given the lower prices. They were able to book me in just a couple days after my call, they're located in the NE just off Barlow and Memorial, a very doable walk to/from the LRT so this worked well for me. The owner was very nice, so first impression was good! Upon picking up the car it was ready on time as promised. I was very impressed with the job they did, it was definitely above what I expected and great value! It looked as good as new, some parts even better than when I bought it lol. They even went as far to do a couple bonus items for me just because they felt like it was necessary given the state I had let the interior degrade to. Very impressed, polite staff, you'll see me again. Thanks!

Honestly I was pretty excited to bring by car here after reading the reviews but the experience…read moreleft 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.

I go to this petro a lot. I have had no problems except with one man on the night shift. I was…read moretrying to get a few things and I first ask him to grab me a white monster and a bag of sour cream and onion chips. He brings me two bags of chips that are not what I ask for and I tell him so politely. When we finally clarify what I'm asking for he says the store does not stock them and this is the closest to what I want (I could see the chips I was asking for through the window). I'm overstimulated at this point so I ask him for Doritos instead. He walks over to the cheetos which are right next to the Doritos (honest case of miscommunication) and he points to a bag, I shake my head. he points to a different bag of cheetos and I shake my head again. we do this a few more times till I decide to point at the bag I want (I try not to point like that, I know it's rude but I was overwhelmed) and hes following my direction for a minute until he he gives up and grabs a random bag of cheetos, I shake my head, but he brings it to the counter and scans it before gesturing for me to pay. I wanted to grab two more things and I really don't like cheetos, but at this point i was standing in the rain after being at the gym and had been doing this for a good ten minute so I pay and leave. it was a really stressful experience and I ended up buying something I didn't want because the guy got frustrated (I get that it was stressful for him but never in the two years that I've lived next to the gas station had he gotten an order right and I am start to feel like it's more than just miscommunication as every other person at that gas station is so sweet and patient and always gets it at least mostly right).

Conveniently, there is a car auto shop right next to it incase you have car problems. Unfortunately no washrooms in this small store, but has the necessary items for snacks, drinks & etc. Not much else to say, except staff is okay and there is a mall close by to see if you're into window shopping. Recommended for quick fuel-ups or snacks.

He details multiple trucks for us regularly, and the attention to detail is top-tier. Interiors are spotless, panels and dashboards look brand new, and nothing is rushed. On the exterior, he does an excellent job removing road grime and salt buildup, and the paint always comes back glossy and refreshed. He's professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with, which is huge when you're dealing with business vehicles you rely on every day. If you're a business owner with work trucks or a fleet that needs to stay clean and professional, I highly recommend Umed and Up Auto Detailing. One of the best detailing experiences I've had in Calgary.

Firstly, I only went to this place because a colleague of mine works at this shop. I was expecting…read morea good customer service as they are my fellow Kabayan but turns out it was a bad decision. I wanted to get my car inspected for my insurance and it took them 3 weeks to get it done as they were always messing things up. I spoke to Arnel and told me the crack in my windshield will be fine but when I went there they told me to get it fixed. After I fixed my windshield they told me to come back by Saturday at 9am to do the inspection but the mechanic wasn't there. For the third time that I went back to this shop, they did not inspect my car. The mechanic just signed the paper without taking a look of my car and filled in the paper WRONG. So I went back the same day to get it done and explained to the owner the mistakes and I wrote down one by one what needs to get done properly. Unfortunately, the mechanic wasn't there anymore so I have to go back the next day which will be the 5th time. I went back the next morning and the paper wasn't even filled in properly that I have to tell them where they screwed up AGAIN. The owners of this shop are not professional and they are incompetent. I do not recommend this car shop and don't waste your time and money in this place. They will also blame you for their mistakes.
