I always get great service coming to this place. The staff does a great job with the cleaning, but when you pull up for interior/exterior washes, they lean too heavily with the variety of deal and upsell. I've had a couple of staff members look upset when I asked for what I wanted instead of their higher quality services. Though the service is great, the value has skyrocketed in recent memory. I understand for the detailing they provide, but for interior and exterior washes, a little too pricey. The little coffee shop located near the waiting area has dipped in quality, too. Even though they use Philz coffee (and I love Philz), the drinks aren't that great, and the food is either too greasy or bland. read more

This review is not reflective of the staff and management at Classic Car Wash, day in and day out they are some of the hardest working, friendliest workers around. This is about the type of wash and what it did to my car. The car wash is fast, convenient and as I mentioned friendly staff. I had a membership and over time it really messed with my cars paint and one time tore off the factory roof rack rails (which they took care of). Very rarely was my car completely clean, the interior got a lot of scuffs and scrapes from their vacuuming. The exterior received the brunt of it all, small scratches, swirl marks and chipped door handle paint. So when I recently got a new car I made the decision I'd take care of it myself. This review is about the long term effects it had on my car. 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

Today, 9/15/2026. This will be my last time coming here for a car wash. I am absolutely disappointed with the service I received. I did not feel like I got my money's worth, and after paying nearly $70, I feel like I still need to get another car wash. My experience started off poorly when I first arrived. The employee assisting me, Brittany, was very rude and disrespectful. I understand that employees are expected to explain and promote additional services, but I am already a member and did not need anything extra. Once I told her I wasn't interested in additional services, her entire attitude changed. She told me, "Yeah, your car looks super dirty. I don't know why you wouldn't want anything else." I responded, "That's why I came today--to get it clean." She then responded, "HAHA, we'll see," and continued laughing at me as I drove forward. I was honestly shocked by the interaction. Is this the type of customer service customers should expect if they decline additional services? Unfortunately, the service itself was just as disappointing. While the employees were drying my car, I noticed that there was still bird poop and dirt/stains left on the vehicle. I politely asked if they could wipe those areas down again to remove what was still there. I was told, "That will be extra." That response was extremely frustrating. I had already paid nearly $70 for a car wash, yet my car was still visibly dirty, and I was being told I needed to pay more to have the remaining dirt and bird poop removed. This is not the level of service or customer experience I expect, especially as a paying member. The interaction with Brittany was disrespectful and unnecessary, and being charged extra to address areas that were still dirty after the wash was extremely disappointing. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses both the customer service and the quality of the wash. Customers should not feel mocked or pressured into purchasing additional services, and they should be able to expect the service they paid for to be completed properly. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. If you are considering coming here, I would recommend looking elsewhere and spending your money somewhere you feel respected and receive the service you paid for. read more

Classic Car Wash - $186.25 for a car wash, clean floor mats and $35 of gas - Car Wash Near Me - Campbell, California

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

These prices are absolutely insane. They told me it would be $110 just to clean the SEATS of my car. Drove straight out. I will happily go up the street to Pacific Hand and pay $70 for a full wash and detail. 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

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

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 have a membership here for TWO cars for exterior wash and I barely even wana continue that cuz it barely gets my car washed. But do NOT get your car "waxed" here. Absolutely horrible. Left water stains and "wax" all over my car. Including residue they didn't get cleaned off from the initial wash. Just god awful, such a waste of $50. Never again. And I tipped $10 before I saw all that. Wish I could get my $50 back cuz they didn't do anything that the car wash itself cleaned. Just a complete waste of money. Please, if you want to have your car waxed DO NOT go 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.

It's too bad I actually really like this place before. read more

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

Always consistent, good price for a quality car wash. Staff always smile and greet you with a wave.

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

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

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 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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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 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

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

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!
