I love this place! I've been coming here for years, in fact I have an account. You can't beat the deals! But why is it, that every single time I take my car through the exterior wash, I have to pull over by where Hooters used to be and dry off my back bumper? It's soaking wet, so I know they see it. But yea, every single time.... read more

You gave me a wax on a rainy day. Now I am hunting down an acid to get the giant rain spots off. They are embedded everywhere, on every surface. Either I find the acid to wash it off, or pay for an expensive car detail somewhere else. Also, your monthly plan doesn't work at every Classic Car Wash, which has been troublesome. read more

Classic Car Wash - White spots everywhere - Car Wash Near Me - Campbell, California

This started because I paid $500 to get my carpets interior detailed and left with my carpets wet and smelly so this manger named Chris Foley gave me some credits which I used over months. I went recently to Campbell and asked Iganacio to wash my back area and console using some credits which I never asked for. I left with the console filthy as heck. He said he can't remove it because he doesn't want to break it..yet they do extensive details on very expensive cars.. I went back and boom all of sudden they removed it and cleaned it. they just lied. Chris said he would take care of any detail work if needed.... just come back and ask which I never asked for. He "cleaned" my back area on my van yet each time it came back dirtier or not really clean. I think he was not cleaning it right and making it dirtier because he didn't want me to come back and use the rest of my credits. When I let him know this..Chris Foley said I cant use my remaining credits there I was given and not to come back... Chris Foley is a snake and liar so is Ignaico stay away these people they look good but lie and the place if filled with mexicans who don't speak any english and most likely are illegal. Please fire these people. shut it down. shut it down. ..at one point they said they could not remove the color on my carpet in the middle area looking back now i think that is probably not true. i think they just want to cater to wealthy clients which i am not. what is funny is that these people are regular joe bloes working there and less read more

I've been coming here for probably decades. Even had a buddy in high school that worked here if you can believe it! Anyhow, I'm always very appreciative when I go because it is a courtesy from my car dealership. It's always been pretty good. A few spots get missed here and there, but overall nothing major. Today was different. They really tried to upsell me with service and was quite pushy about it, which was annoying. As my car was getting serviced, I recall thinking that I would probably consider paying out-of-pocket for future. (although just to be clear, I would never get their membership because I don't go often enough.) But when my car was finished, I was sadly disappointed. I should mention that I've always wondered if people weren't exaggerating before, or weren't being too nitpicky, which by the way, I am not. Going forward, I would not pay to use this service. There was a lot of dust and debris and hair that got missed & just a half a$$ job overall TBH. read more

I have a car wash membership, but I typically only use the exterior wash and save (bank) the monthly full-service interior/exterior washes that come with my membership. A few years ago, four of my banked full-service washes were removed from my account without any explanation. More recently, I was told by a representative that I had three banked full-service washes remaining. This past weekend, when I visited the car wash, one employee checked a computer and told me I had seven banked full-service washes available. However, another employee checked a different computer and said my account showed zero. She even commented that it did not make sense because I rarely use the full-service washes. She told me that a manager would call me to discuss the issue, but I never received a call. Since I did not hear back, I called to follow up myself. During that conversation, I was informed that the banked washes were no longer available. I am very concerned because I do not use my full-service washes frequently, which is why I bank them. The information I have been given has been inconsistent, and I have never received an explanation for why these washes disappeared from my account. read more

Honestly I would give them no Stars if I could. I to have a full detail on my car courtesy of my mom who had extra washes that had been purchased prior. When I got to the front desk they kept insisting that she hadn't paid for the month so that I couldn't use the multiple free washes that she has. I said to pull my car then because I wasn't planning on paying for it. The woman quickly said okay. We'll let you do it this time, but next time you can't use the extra washes until you pay the membership. I don't know that doesn't really make any sense to me. On top of that I was with my special needs brother. The gentleman calls me over to the car as if they're done. I pick up everything including walk him a far distance to the car and the guy says oh no, we're not done cleaning yet. I just wanted to offer you XYZ. He saw me with my brother and how difficult it was for me to get him to the car. I quickly said no. I need to leave. My brother is not comfortable anymore and we need to go. After they finished up I noticed some things in the front that were not finished so I asked them to clean up and then I had to leave with my brother. When I got back they had not even cleaned the backseat of my car. Maybe they vacuumed but definitely not a detail. There were footprints everywhere, still food crumbs. I could have done a better job in my front yard. I will never go back here and I do not recommend anybody ever goes to this place read more

I used to love coming to this place because I felt their workmanship was excellent, it's completely rundown now, for $400 the picture speak for themselves on What Is not being taken care of. I'm not sure if this was an off day for them, but it definitely seems like there isn't any care put into making sure the customers have been taken care of. It's too bad I actually really like this place before. read more

There's a lot that seems pretty great about Classic Car Wash. The staff were super friendly, the facility has all kinds of services, and it seems pretty efficient. Unfortunately, the drive thru car wash just didn't really do much. I got the middle tier package, because I knew I had some bug guts on the front of my car, so I didn't want to just go with the cheapest option. Sadly the vast majority of the grime was still there after the car wash. All that said, I'm sure their full exterior hand detailing would get the job done, but I was kind of hoping that I could do something fairly quick while I was in the area. So, maybe their other options would work better, but I don't know. Your results may vary... read more

I came here a few years ago and swore I wouldn't come back because your businesses to upsell you. I had a coupon from my car service place and thought I would try them again. I wanted to add a wax well then he started offering me all kinds of packages for crazy prices. I finally agreed to a price that I'm sure he had in mind to begin with and now I'm sitting here and thinking I was stupid. But I learned my lesson and next time I'm back at my wonderful Palo Alto hand wash place. read more

I've been a member of Classic Car Wash for years, and unfortunately I had a disappointing experience today. After going through the car wash, we noticed that our rearview mirror was loose as we were driving away and entering the freeway. The mirror was suddenly facing sideways and downward. When I tried to adjust it, I realized it had become completely detached. We had to pull over on the side of the freeway to address the issue, and the mirror actually fell apart. Thankfully, none of the internal pieces were broken, and we were able to put it back together ourselves. I called corporate and explained what happened. They advised me that I would receive an email to submit a claim. As a long-time member, I would have appreciated some communication from the car wash staff if they noticed the damage while my vehicle was being serviced. Even a simple acknowledgment or attempt to fix the issue before I left would have gone a long way. This experience has left me feeling like I now need to inspect my entire vehicle before leaving the car wash. It's concerning when damage occurs and there is no communication with the customer. After years of being a loyal member, I'm now considering whether I should take my business elsewhere. I hope management reviews their procedures and improves communication with customers when issues arise. read more

Price and customer service has become very bad. After 20 years, I have to look for a new place now

Classic Car Wash in San Jose is truly one of the Bay Area's most recognizable car wash experiences. The whole place has a retro, vintage-themed design--think old-school phone booths, antique gas pump décor, quirky signs, and nostalgic memorabilia everywhere you look. It's one of those spots that feels like a little time capsule, and it makes the wait genuinely enjoyable instead of just "killing time." I scheduled an exterior wash with wax and a clay bar treatment, and they did an excellent job. They take their time, and the results show. Inside, they have a surprisingly charming boutique area filled with seasonal décor, gifts, home accessories, and fun knickknacks worth browsing. The outdoor centerpiece is a small pond with a fountain, surrounded by plenty of seating. There's even a windowed viewing area where you can watch cars move through the wash tunnel--kids and adults both love it. One of the best bonuses? The snack station. They offer sandwiches, real fruit smoothies, pastries, coffee, and plenty of grab-and-go snacks. I ordered a custom panini with artichoke and caramelized onions and paired it with the Mango Monsoon smoothie--both were surprisingly delicious for a car wash café. Pricing is reasonable for the level of care and unique experience. You can either hang out on-site or leave and wait for a call when your car is done. Classic Car Wash is a Bay Area classic for a reason--great service, fun atmosphere, and consistently solid results. I live nearby and will absolutely keep coming back. read more

I have a 2017 RAV4 with 140K miles on it. My two teenagers drive it as well, so it has its share of little scrapes and dings. Suffice it to say, it's not pristine and I will never spend the money or time to get it waxed or detailed. It's just not important to me. I do however like a clean car. So every few months, if it fits in the budget that month, I'll go get it washed. But to get that good-enough clean car, I have to get through the sales guys at the front. Knowing that all I want is the Deal and that I am going to be pressured with an upsell stresses me out even before I get there. Today was no different: Him: I see it's really dusty inside your car. Me (ignoring that comment): The Deal please Him: Do you know about our membership, it will cost you less today. Me: No thanks Him: Why would you pay more when you could spend less and get this membership? Me: I don't want to go into it. Him: What? Why don't you answer me? Me: Because if I give you my reason you're just going to give me another counter argument. I'm not interested. His demeanor instantly got cold, he turned away and dismissively said "well you have to expect we're going to try". I still go because I like the result. But boy do I hate having to run the gauntlet to get it. read more

We have a membership and wash our car at least once a week. Everyone is courteous and great at their jobs! Never an issue. Until today. One of the employees was trying to pitch a full service carwash. As another employee had already pitched us. We declined so he talked to the car ahead of us. Meanwhile holding up the line. The driver finally went through by the time 4 other cars could have. Then the employee stood talking as she's exiting the carwash. 1. Dangerous 2. Annoying 2. Time consuming 3. Inconveniencing others So frustrating. read more

My boyfriend was a member prior to their system update years ago. Figured why not go here since I knew they do a good job. I paid 49.99 for exterior and interior wash. My car really just needed an interior clean as it was collecting dust. When I got the car back there was still debris on the exterior passenger side of the car. I had to wipe it off with my own microfiber rag, the interior still had dust all over the dash and my passenger side wasn't even wiped down. I would let it go as it's really just a drive through car wash but if you're going to charge 50$ for a wash I'd expect it to be done right. Sad to say I won't return and just stick to the gas station drive through washes and clean the interior myself. At least that way I know it'll be done right. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. Dishonest and fraudulent practices. Disgusting. It's one thing to be upsold on a service, it's another thing to be upsold on something and then NOT receive it. That was my experience at this fraudulent and dishonest excuse of a car wash. $110 dollars for a simple hand wash. Not a wax, just a simple wash with a hand dry. I was promised an interior detail, so it seemed like a steal. I agreed to the hand wash/dry and interior detail. However, because it was a verbally negotiated agreement, and not something printed on their menu, they immediately denied offering the service when my car came around, and I was stuck paying $110 (and a $20 tip) for a simple exterior wash. My floor mats were still covered in dirt. What a joke, what a fraud. Will never return. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

My car is clean but the aggressive upselling for services is such a turn off. A customer saying "no, thank you" once should shut the conversation down.

This car wash usually does a good job. They unfortunately can be aggressive with trying to upsell their services. Occasionally, they miss things, such as on my last visit, when they did a sloppy job cleaning the wheels. They missed a lot. I can live with it, but for the price they charge these days, they need to make sure that they are taking care of the small stuff. read more

Classic Car Wash - Dirt on the wheels. - Car Wash Near Me - Campbell, California

I paid $300 for a full detail on my 2022 Chevy Suburban and the results were nowhere near what I expected for that price. The interior was poorly done -- the floor mat on the driver's side was barely touched and left visibly dirty. The other mats were only partially cleaned. On top of that, the wheels still had visible dirt and grime inside them after the so-called detail. On the exterior, they left wax residue on the body of the car -- I had to point it out to the staff myself, and only then did they wipe it off and apologize. For $300, I expected a thorough, professional job. What I got was far from it. I would not recommend their detailing service to anyone. ‼Update: After filing a complaint, the detail manager Chris Foley accused me of never giving them the opportunity to inspect the vehicle -- despite the fact that I pointed out every issue IN PERSON before leaving, and his own staff wiped down areas on the spot. I also continued to notice additional missed areas after I got home. Instead of focusing on a resolution, they chose to question my honesty. This tells you everything about how this business treats its customers. read more

Classic Car Wash - My rims look better than ever!!! Thank you for the repairs and Hand wax!!! One word. WOW!!! - Car Wash Near Me - Campbell, California

We've had both cars signed up for monthly unlimited car washes for two years . One for outside only and the other for outside and one monthly interior. The workers all do a good job. We need our cars washed a lot because we live next door to a couple of big crepe myrtle trees that generate sap. The worst problem we had was when we needed to stop our monthly payments because of lots of rain. They want you to leave a message on their phone. We got no feedback and no statements. It took awhile to make sure both car services were stopped and then again when we signed up again. Even after the monthly payments started up again we still had problems because their computers kept saying one car wasn't covered. I had to keep calling to talk to a real person to get things straightened out. read more

Classic Car Wash - Almost through the car wash. - Car Wash Near Me - Campbell, California

I don't usually go to car washes like this because it's not good for your paint and it doesn't spread the wax evenly across your car it mostly just mists your car leaving an irregular surface mist. but I was in a hurry and I needed my car washed. I got some sap on it from the tree. I just wanted the exterior and I ended up with some hard-core package salesman. I kept telling him I don't want any packages. I just want to wash my car he would not let up. I finally told him fine signme up for the package. I'm gonna cancel today as well to get him to shut his mouth then he has me pull over to the side like a big sucker and then that was a big red flag for me when all the cars behind me went in front of me I see that he saw me as a weak individual who is an easy sale that made me very angry. I told him I'm leaving to get him to leave me alone. I was either gonna leave without a car wash or he was gonna stop his hard pressure sale on me. I will never come back to this car wash again. read more

3 stars because the service is good but they're pretty expensive. I was a committed customer for years until they raised their price last year to $65. That price was for 1 full wash + unlimited exterior washes. I cancelled after they increase the price. I recently went, wanting to get a 1 time wash and they told me they're decreased their price because they lost customers due to the price increase. So what they have now is $49 for the first month and subsequent months will be $54. read more

I used to be a customer years ago. I recently just came back and I'm disappointed in their service. I got The Deal for $49.99 and paid a tip. After I got my car, I was disappointed to see that the interior wasn't wiped down thoroughly and parts of my car were still dirty. These stains can easily come off with Clorox wipes. If I knew I'd have to do more cleaning at home, I wouldn't have come to this place. For the price, I was expecting better quality. For my next service, God Willing, I'll have to find a place that does quality cleaning. read more

I've been going to Classic Car Wash ever since I moved to SJ over 6 years ago. I love that I can go through the exterior only lane or I can come and have them vacuum and clean the inside of my car as well. I don't clean my car often but I love that there are several locations for when I need them. I recently decided to get the whole shebang. My car needed it badly. The staff person tried to get me to sign up for the membership. I will say that some of things he said were not true. Dude--you can't lie to people in order to get them to sign up for something. But whatever. I did sign up and tried it for a month. I only went back once during the month (so twice car washes and one interior cleaning) although I was looking forward to my monthly interior cleaning coming up. These guys work hard and it's not an easy job. Some days it's hot out there! It's not a job I would want to do. But I will say that there was a huge area that wasn't cleaned up after I got back in my car and after I drove off, I noticed a piece of my car was broken. It wasn't a big deal or something I can't much about, but still. Honestly, if I could afford it, I would stick with the membership. I think it's a good deal and totally worth it. I just can't afford the cost since I don't need to go that often to make it worthwhile. I emailed them a few days before the month was over to cancel my membership and a few days later I received a voicemail that my membership was canceled. I will continue to use them for my car cleaning needs. read more

I decided to give Classic Car Wash on Hamilton Ave and Bascom Avenue another chance to WASH AND CLEAN my 4 Runner yesterday. It was late afternoon after work. Car Wash was really not busy. Gave second chance, benefit of the doubt. I believe in second chances. Exit my Truck and opened the back gate for a full vacuum. I start walking up ramp to gift shop to pay with my receipt for $55 dollars and pause back to check out vacuuming status, which was way too quick for a complete vacuum. 1st sign that this may be a bad choice, walk in gift shop no one in line and wait for Cashier to complete counting her wash slips, no big deal as it's after work and I've got the time. I have a good tip with my $55 dollar complete wash/ vacuum and walk outside to wait for Truck. About 15 minutes and truck is done got in and fairly clean for most part but streaky windows and half ass vacuum. My monthly payment will be cancelled as Classic car wash has really gone downhill. REALLY DISAPPOINTED . First horrible wash was a few months back at the Lark Classic Car Wash and truly bad experience. Need to get off my tush and wash my Truck. Years past I'd have Classic Wash the Truck then I'd go home and wax myself. Seriously what is happening to the good ole Classic Car Wash???? read more

Found a car wash for $24.95, with a second car for $17.95/mo at Zip Thru Express. Now, I will save $20+/mo (as no more tipping each visit)! And bonus ... I can vacuum my car (if needed) and it's closer to my work! An excellent reminder that sometimes change can be good! [So, I guess .... Thanks!] *********************************************************** HEADS UP .... Watch your credit cards, as they raise their rates with NO email notice and/or NO letter .... to advise of a 30% increase!!! *********************************************************** [Per Ricardo, they only post it on small signs at the locations. So, my error in not looking for the small print on a poster. Shame on Classic Car Wash for not having the respect of sending an email or letter.] After 2+ years at the Hamilton location, I was told I could get better pricing by going to the Prospect location so I did. Was okay for 5+ years, until they kept arbitrarily, raising the rates and raising the rates .... and raising the rates!!! Ricardo (who says he is the manager and when I asked to speak with the owner, he said there was no one else i could talk to), so with the bills up to $50/month (for limited washes on 1 car and not realizing they kept raising their monthly billing on the other car (with no written notice). So, after approx. 8 years, since Ricardo did not value a loyal Customer, if they don't care about loyalty .... I guess, I shouldn't either!

Quick efficient service. Always make sure to leave a Buckner two for tip the the ones detailing your car

Ok Classic this is the final time!! Really really bad cleaning today. I can't believe I paid $50 and tip for the service I got. I'll start w the list. They did not vacuum under any of my mats. They barely of at all vacuumed the mats. My mats are weather tech mats too, not carpet but there was still a ton of debris. All of my windows are dirty to some extent. All windows are just cleaned in the middle, the edges remained dirty. They only dusted the top of the dash some but non of the face of my dashboard. They will not clean leather seats w a damp towel, nor will they clean the scuff marks from shoes getting in and out of the car. They didn't clean the sunroof or back window at all. I watched and they never touched the back windows. I was watching the entire time. They didn't seem to happy when I asked them to clean the back window. On the floors of the car. It's like the windows...they do t get the edges or sides. Even tho I opened my trunk when I left the car, they for sure didn't vacuum it at all. And it's dirty under the trunk liner. The trunk liner is also weather tech and not carpet. There has been a couple really big issues with this place in the last few years as well. They damaged a pretty expensive car seat. They took my information and never called me back. Another time the wash ripped a piece of trim off the door of my car. At first they were very nice about it. They checked the cameras and co formed it wasn't damaged going in but I was coming out. He reassured us it's fairly common, that they would order the part and call to have me bring the car and they'd install there. Weeks passed so I called. They then decided they weren't going to fix it, that it was prob loose going in . He informed me the part wasn't and wouldn't be ordered. For the price, I should have received a better cleaning. Prob will never return and will warn family about here now. Very unfortunate their service has gone downhill completely. Pictures are the morning after...was at car wash at 6pm and car was parked until next morning when I took them. read more

I have had bad car washes in my life. Probably a lot of bad car washes. Nothing special just the drive thru carwashes. But last friday, I had the exterior car wash done here at Campbell Classic Car wash and it was ridiculously the absolute worst car wash of my life. I've had a better car wash at the chevron gas stations. The wait for the car was was ehh, definitely regret wasting my time actually waiting for it. I wasn't expecting this car wash to be life changing or expecting my car to look the best miraculously (but I did pay for the more expensive exterior wash only). At least I expected to leave with my car cleaner and not dirtier than when I arrived. When I left and parked next door at gas station to fill up my tank I realized the greater part of the driver side of car was covered in grease splatter. I PAID TO GET GREASE SPLATTERED ON MY CAR. CLEANED UP THE GREASE AND MADE SELF NOTE TO NOT RETURN TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. THERS DEFINITELY A LOT OF OTHER PLACES TO GET SHITTY CAR WASH AT. WOULDN'T SEND ANYONE HERE. DONT HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS. I DONT BLAME PEOPLE IN FRONT LINES. ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK. I THINK MAYBE MANAGEMENT SHOULD DO MORE FREQUENT MAINTENANCE ON MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT.
