I’m going to vote this up because it’s such a good deal, but I agree! I used the search thing and then checked the PDF and there are none in SA :(

This amused me though http://www.colesexpress.com.au/services/car-wash/transcript-...

Try opening the file from your PDF viewer. Open PDF viewer app, click file>Open> http://www.ktas.com.au/membership/kruise-news/20090827/Coles... and ok.

Otherwise try an online pdf viewer/editor which should let you open a pdf from a website and will let you save it locally or maybe email it to you.

Try printing multiple copies on the one bit of paper or scale it to 25%, doesn’t have to be a4 size. They really only need the code at the bottom of the voucher but the Ts&Cs says the voucher has to be surrendered.

My trick is to keep an eBay saved search for toners for my old laser printer under $30. Now I’ve got so many spare toners and some for only $10 rather than $110… and each is meant to do 3000 odd pages

Got mine washed @ the local Parra one this arvo - pretty decent although getting in was a tight squeeze, and mine’s a small car. Definitely worth the $5, would probably cost more doing it yourself with the water + labour haha

mjs on 30/08/2009 - 10:22 ¶

I just tried this at the Five Dock branch - they refused to honour it because it was in black and white. They said it has to be “original” and “colour”. Presumably if I print it again in colour it should work. Very annoyed.

jerlou on 30/08/2009 - 11:00 ¶

Coles Express at Five Dock wouldn’t accept my photocopied voucher.

Friggin Coles. They said that I needed original that would be dent to me once i emailed my request for the voucher.

Gravatar
 
DigitalPulse on 30/08/2009 - 12:27 ¶

wtf? the pdf is the original. It is only online voucher, I received it in the Kmart e-newsletter thing they send out. If you have an iphone you could show them the colour version but hand in the black n white voucher.

Try contacting the Colse Express Customer Service Centre on 1800 656 055, Monday to Saturday, between 8am and 6pm (Melbourne time. Excluding National Public Holidays).

Tell them you received the coupon in the kmart tyre and auto email and explain what is happening at your coles express place.

I have filled in the online feedback form for Coles Express to try and get an answer on using the coupon @ http://www.colesexpress.com.au/about-us/feedback.aspx

xavierdylan on 30/08/2009 - 17:43 ¶

i have a feeling that Coles express five dock has no clue abt the kmart offer. they havent updated their systems. there is another coles voucher that is been sent in the mail. they think its a coles voucher. Jst fill in the online complaint form and give it a few days

Ndiddy on 31/08/2009 - 00:12 ¶

Worked for me in Brunswick (VIC) but I have to say that it wasn’t a great car wash at all. Lots of soap marks left on the windscreen and the alloys not cleaned properly. But I suppose for $5 it was just ok but def not at the original price.

DigitalPulse on 01/09/2009 - 17:10 ¶

Same here. This is what they sent. Similar?

Thank you for your email on 30 August and your comments regarding our Coles Express Five Dock.

We were concerned to learn that the team member on duty did not accept the voucher you received from Kmart Tyre and Auto. A communication was sent to store advising them of this promotion and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience incurred.

We have forwarded you comments to the Retail Area Manager and the Car Wash Manager who will address this issue with the store and encourage you to return to the store with the voucher to receive your $5.00 car wash.

We hope to see you at the store most convenient to you and wish you happy motoring.

I went to the five dock one last night and the dude stalled for ages (flicking through folders and stuff), then finally said “sorry, bad luck the car wash machine is broken”

pretty annoyed. looks like they’re doing everything they can to avoid honouring this deal.

Tell him unless the machine’s going to be broken for 30 days you still want your ticket. It is valid for 30 days.

I used the voucher yesterday. I must say, it really was a great wash - underbody and wheels included! My car come out sparkling clean. I used to think automatic car washes were not that great, but this was even better than my normal hand wash job! Will definitely be using this again.

Got it done in Brunswick. The cashier looked at the printed voucher for a while before accepting the transaction.

It won’t leave your car as clean as a hand wash, but for $5, it does a good enough job. Rims with wide openings/spokes will come out clean only on the face.

lonewolf on 02/09/2009 - 16:07 ¶

Can you get the 4 cent discount with this since you are spending 5$ in store? I take it since this is a deal in itself then you cant? Also what do you mean by it expires in 30 / 60 days? Do you get a coupon / voucher when you present this print out? I thought it just means you pay 5$ and get the car washed that very same moment?

Gravatar
 
DigitalPulse on 02/09/2009 - 16:10 ¶

Haven’t used it yet but i gather you have 30 days to use the receipt the guy/gal at the counter hands over when you use the voucher and pay.

Gravatar
 
PcisT on 02/09/2009 - 20:58 ¶

Correct. You’re purchasing a voucher. On the voucher, there’s a code you type in at the car wash when you’re ready. Sort of like a mobile recharge voucher.

Did one car today (paid for voucher before expiry giving us another 30 days to use it) and really not overly impressed. Wheels not that clean and some stains still on car. Obviously the mirror glass and the section of window adjacent doesn’t get a wash as they recommemd folding the mirrors in. The car wash I used (Bayswater Vic) didn’t look too high tech.
