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

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

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. I like this place because I'm familiar with it and like that I don't have to drive my car in to the car wash but I'm definitely gonna try other places. 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

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

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

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

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

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

Love this place. No complaints. For $49.95, I get unlimited car washes and one inside cleaning a month. They also fixed my dent on my bumper for a small fee. It never expires. They bill you every month. I've been a member for a year and a half now. 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

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

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! [FYI, I should add that 90% of the employees are AWESOME, so bummer for them as I always tipped; because I wanted the money to get the there employees, but now I question if it ever did!] read more

Classic Car Wash - Car Wash Near Me - Campbell, California

I've religiously brought my car here for car washes. My automatic mirror stopped working after bringing it here. I wasn't sure tho I thought maybe it was my car. I recently bought a brand new car and brought it here for a car washe. I saw them manually FORCE the mirrors open and close, it confirmed they broke my mirror on my old vehicle. There is a button to open and close the side mirrors on most new cars, it's unbelievable that they aren't trained to know how to close and open in a way that doesn't break the car. Before leaving I made sure they weren't broken and they made a big crack noise. If you care about your car either watch them and tell them or skip this place. 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. I ALSO OVERHEARD ON RADIO CHATTER THAT THERE WAS ISSUR WITH EQUIPMENT. SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER. RANT OVER. read more

It's ok. I mean, they do a descent job for general car washes. The guy who manages the waxing staff is rude, which is annoying, but not enough to cancel my membership.. yet. I am taking my car for a interior wax, so I hope it works out! I do the monthly for years now. I'd recommend. read more

I have two cars subscription with this people, as in feb 2025 I was willing to discontinue service, I phoned customer service and Recardo answered phone and I explained him to discontinue the service, this guy requested me to continue as he was giving discount 12.99 per month, I agreed, march April and may they took 12.99 for each car from my account and from June they again started taking 24.99 without letting me know or without my contentment, I am not aware of this and recently I checked my bank statement and found this . I talked to Recardo again and he was rude in behaving, he said you will not get any refund, even one of my car didn't go for wash for last 8 months, these people are ripping off customers this way. I am totally dissatisfied with Recardo's behavior . He is a wrong person in customer care and support. read more

Classic Car Wash - $109 - Car Wash Near Me - Campbell, California

This was so expensive. They made such a hard sell to upgrade everything. Tried to convince me to take a promo to join a membership trial for an extra wash for $5 ... Now I can understand why they'd give you essentially a free car wash after having had one. This was pretty terrible. Not worth the $50. Also, I sat on the benches the entire time. Someone said they yelled something never even saw my car because they were large SUVs everywhere. I never heard it and they parked my car away around the corner while I unknowingly sat there and when I finally carried all my stuff over to ask the guy, he said he was so rude. They're only nice to you when they're trying to sell the car wash. read more

I've had a subscription for many years and multiple cars. I just used my last full service wash today and unfortunately, for a busy Saturday, they apologized for being "understaffed." I actually saw plenty of staff onsite and my car moved through the line quickly. But today, 2 problems occurred that should have been avoided: 1. Queens Cafe - I ordered a Shot In the Dark while I waited for my car wash. I asked the cafe worker what it was, espresso in coffee, and since I hadn't had my coffee yet, it sounded interesting. I asked for the "smallest" size which was listed as $3.75 - good value, I thought. My mistake was to ask for it on ice. He said only medium and large for ice, then tried to get me to order an extra shot since the ice "waters it down." Then he proceeded to charge me for a large when I clearly asked for the smallest size. When I questioned him for the upcharge, he said "we don't have iced drinks in small" but he poured the same small size drink over ice in a medium cup. So, I paid an extra $2 for ice and a plastic cup (BTW iced water at Starbucks is FREE). Well, I won't be ordering any drinks from this place ever again if all I'm doing is paying more for their cafe supplies. I also saw the prices that were for a chai latte are ridiculous, especially since I saw on the back counter a box of premixed liquid chai from Costco. What a jip! 2. Car pick up: After paying for my overpriced drink, I took a seat on the bench right in front of my car that was getting dried off and windows cleaned by staff. I waited patiently for a few moments. All of the sudden, staff got in my car a drove it all the way to the end of the driveway on Bascom. Then got out and called "Tesla?!" Yeah, that was me buddy sitting in front of my car and now I had to walk all the way down to the street to get it. No tip for you. Well, at least that's the last time I'll be getting a full service wash from this place anyway. Maybe it's time to move on to another service. read more

They charge so much. It used to be very good, but now they did not even vacuum properly inspite of asking and mentioning twice.

Paid $49.99 for the deal car wash. My car had water spots from being by a sprinkler. When my car was finished you could still see the water spots. I know San Jose has hard water. The Supervisor said I needed a detail to get the spots removed. Really? How about using some elbow grease!!! Bad service. Never going back. read more

The attention to detail has taken a huge dive here. I love this location for its convenience and efficient work, but lately they've dropped the ball especially with cleaning windows. In the last 4 visits I've had to ask them to reclean the windshield 3 times because it just wasn't clean. There was cleaner residue, spots, and swirl marks. I'm not overly picky but this was obvious when the sun hit the windshield. For $49 plus tip it's not unreasonable to expect clean windows. The staff is friendly and I don't have a problem with the detail side of things. When I get the car waxed or clay barred I rarely have a complaint. I don't know if they have a maximum time per car, but they need to give them more time to do the job right. read more

I have a membership with Classic car Wash. The workers do a good job and are friendly. Their prices are comparable to other car wash companies, but I know my SUV is going to be washed and dried properly. I highly recommend this place! read more

This rating is based on the whole experience. I love how you are greeted by staff when you arrive and pick your service. They immediately start working on vacuuming your car and you're able to move on. They have such a cute gift shop with various items and then even a cafe! I got myself some chips and their redbull smoothie and it was delicious. I was sitting outside in the sun with the beautiful view and was in no rush for my car. Great experience! My car wash was alright. For how great everything else was, and the price I paid, I would give overall 9/10. It's also so cute they still have good for you to feed the fish read more

This review covers all the Classic Car Wash locations in the San Jose area. I have been to all of them and they consistently give quality service to my vehicles. The employees are always in a uniform and always have a smile on their face and say hello. The equipment is clean and in great operating condition. If there is down time, the employees are cleaning the grounds. If you need extras, they have a large list of things they do, such as: chipped window repair, headlight restoration, and fine detailing with wax. One thing I really respect is that each car wash has a lot of employees. So many carwashes I have seen are operated by 2 or 3 employees. Let's talk about value-it depends on what you want. I have 2 cars and I use a monthly plan on each of them. They have other plans that cost less, but the monthly unlimited wash plans really work for me and I am contributing to keeping people employed! This is the best car wash I've ever experienced and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them! read more

A well-deserved 1 star for a barely-clean car wash. Don't come here. Save your money. Do it yourself, or go elsewhere and you'll be better off. It is very expensive for a very basic wash and you don't EVEN get what you paid for because the car exterior only barely gets clean, and the interior is the same deal, left dirty in random places -- Dusty dash. Inner part of the mirrors still dirty. The driving force to push me to write this review is the extremely aggressive pushy sales guy damn near forcing you to get the monthly subscription. I had to say no 4 times, and that just puts a bad taste in my mouth. Especially since the quality of the car wash has declined over the past couple years. Not worth the cost and definitely not worth the wait (45 mins through the line). And a bit of verbal abuse at the front. read more
