kind of the worst but theres nothing else around to go to... so you have to choice but to go there? i go here for a basic exterior/interior wash but i literally have to either tell them to wipe down my interior AGAIN (dust everywhere, spots everywhere) and i even get the most "expensive" wash. they ALWAYS try to upsell me on a hand wax and when i tell them im never even happy with a regular wash they dont even try to ask me why or help with customer service. he said "oh you want a good job? " ???? and then walked away..??

Carwash time!

Been going to this carwash for a while now. The line moves pretty fast and the prices are decent for a full vacuum, interior, exterior with tire dressing. Service is consistent compared to others I've been to. 8 out of 10 for me.

I guess you get what you pay for. The guy in charge was rude, did not answer my questions, and rushed me into picking a service. No instructions were given on where to pay or where to wait. I had a VIP Wash and paid $30. When I got my car back it still had black spots on the side of the car, the top part wasn't cleaned, the windshield had soap and dirt, and the interior still had crumbs or dirty spots inside. I saw them use a pink spray to clean the interior and exterior. I would rather pay $15 at the Bellagio car wash if I have to go back and clean the rest myself after putting my car through the cleaning machine anyways.

I've been to Glendale Classic Car Wash a few times and had great results in the past but this last visit was a big disappointment. Multiple dirty spots were left on my car and when I pointed one out (photo attached), the guy told me it couldn't be cleaned without polishing. Later that day, I wiped it off easily myself with a simple rag. It feels like quality control really depends on who's working that day. Some visits are solid but others like this one make you regret tipping. Consistency is everything, especially when you're paying for a full wash and expecting a clean car.

Still with soap inside

Today I finally washed my Tesla after many years of not visiting this car wash. I noticed how much the business has grown and I'm genuinely happy to see that. Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience. I paid $59.99 for the Majestic Wax service, but the young man who washed my car--whether it was his first day or not--didn't even bother to open the trunk to clean it. He left the inside soaked and soapy, and I never received the air freshener I requested. The manager or the person handling payments did try to make things right by sending over some older gentlemen who seemed hardworking and greeted me with kind smiles. But at that point I just decided to leave. I had already tipped the young man even though I honestly don't know what he was trying to do because it certainly wasn't a proper car wash. I sincerely hope the manager reads this and takes appropriate action.

They broke the armrest off my center console while shampooing my rear seats, then refused to fix it or help me at all. They accused me of driving in with it already broken and blaming them. This is a certified pre owned Toyota that I just purchased 6 months ago. I discovered it when they gave me the keys back, talked to the manager. He and the person who did the shampooing lied to my face and claimed they didn't touch it. I then asked for contact information for the owner, as well as the manager I was speaking to, and he REFUSED to give me the information for the person who owns the car wash. He also refused to provide me with his first and last name, just wrote "Greg" on a business card and gave it to me. Called Glendale police, and they said it's a civil matter and they wouldn't come out, even if the car wash refused to disclose information. Be aware that this is the level of respect they have for your property (none), and the level of accountability they have (none), when they break something. The manager accused me of lying and driving in with that already broken, and said I couldn't prove they did it. It goes without saying that I won't be going here ever again. But I will also find every avenue I can to tell this story, because they've certainly earned it.

After

See all

Is the basic car wash hand washed or machine wash?

Machine wash

Do you HAND wash the car?

They used to! I was actually shocked today to find out they have replaced hand washing with these weak mechanical washers. And when I asked the lady at the register.. her response was, "it's the same thing." I'm sorry, but no, it definitely is…

I had…read moreoriginally planned to come here, but after seeing a couple of negative reviews, I passed it up and went to Bellagio Express Wash instead. Once I got there, I realized it was a self-service wash, and in nearly 100-degree weather, I was definitely not in the mood to wash my own car. So I circled back and decided to give JN Car Wash a chance, and I'm so glad I did. I chose the second-lowest wash package and honestly wasn't expecting much, especially since they were pretty busy. But they completely exceeded my expectations. My car came out looking fantastic. One thing that really stood out to me was the attention to detail. I have custom floor mats, and the last few times I've gone to other car washes, they've either put them back incorrectly or just thrown them in without much care. Here, they took the time to put everything back exactly the way it belonged. It may seem like a small thing, but as someone who takes pride in my car, I really appreciated it. On top of that, it was incredibly hot today, and the entire crew was out there working nonstop, sweating through the heat while still providing excellent service with a positive attitude. Don't let a few bad reviews scare you away like they almost did for me. My experience was excellent from start to finish, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back. Highly recommend!

Glendale Self Serve Car Wash - Clean, wide bays with well-maintained nozzles, hoses, water pressure

For years, I've rolled through LA Express Car Wash in Silverlake to get my car good 'n' clean and…read moremost recently, Bellagio in Eagle Rock got integrated into my rotation. Last week, however, I decided to put in some elbow grease and try this self-serve car wash. Perhaps it was the 90+ degree heat melting my brain cells, a twang of nostalgia tied to helping my dad wash down his cars every summer, or the fact that I knew I'd have to roll through LA Express or Bellagio at least 10x to get it clean. It's $1/minute and the timer feels like I'm on a game show trying to beat the clock. To outsiders, I probably looked like Eric Andre or Mr. Bean in my comedic race to beat the clock that I accidentally over-timed. NOTE: The dial is sensitive. The attendant told me it only charges when the nozzle gets started. (Umm, maybe? Or maybe I got charged an extra 50¢ for dilly-dallying.) EQUIPMENT: The water pressure, various brushes, and color-coded dials with instructions are in good working shape. I loved the tire brush with lots of soap and was excited to finally see chrome under all that grime. Overall the docks are clean, people come and go. The vacuum station is efficient but you have to pay more for using them. MONEY: I paid $14 to hand wash and scrub my filthy car, but that didn't include vacuuming. The place was filled with car lovers, rubbing down their babies and buffing out the dirt with their hands, while speaking sweet nothings into them. If you have an old car and want to personally give it more love, then this is one solution. To my understanding, LA doesn't allow us to let carwash water go into our streets/runoffs/gutters. VERDICT: For the price and the amount of work, I'd probably just pay my monthly subscription at my drive-in, roll-through options and shell out the extra few dollars. But if you're an anal retentive clean-freak who uses Q-tips to detail your car, this is a clean, efficient, and well-run DIY hub that allows you all the control you need/want to get your baby sparkling.

Great, fast, and easy car wash. The standard time is for 8 mins and you can add a min at a time…read moreafter that. Several settings / brushes including a tire brush, broom looking brush for the body, liquid wax something like that, and low or high pressure soap and water. The vacuums are $2 for 6 minutes. Only thing is if you go during a busier time it can feel stressful with another car waiting behind you but otherwise it's pretty smooth! Would recommend !
