About the Business

Looking for a reliable place to get your car looking fresh without the fuss? Glendale Classic Car Wash ll at 5720 San Fernando Rd, Glendale, CA 91202 is one of those spots that doesn’t shout for attention but earns its reputation through consistent service and a loyal local following. Nestled conveniently near major intersections, this place isn’t just another location—it’s a local favorite for folks who care about how their car looks and feels.

What really stood out the first time I visited was how smooth everything ran. I rolled in expecting the usual long wait and rushed job you sometimes get at chain car washes. But here, they took their time in a good way. From the greeting at the entrance to the final towel dry, there’s an attention to detail that says they actually care. The staff clearly know their stuff—they’re not just spraying soap and hoping for the best. You can tell there’s some experience under their belts.

The range of services covers all the essentials, whether you just need a basic wash or a full-on detail. I’ve brought my own car in after a muddy road trip, and they managed to get the paint shining and the inside spotless. One guy ahead of me had a vintage Camaro, and the team treated it like a museum piece. That told me everything I needed to know. They’re not rushing volume; they’re giving each car a moment of respect.

What people seem to really like—and I’d agree—is the consistency. The reviews scattered across the web echo the same things: polite staff, fair pricing, and a clean finish that doesn’t leave soap spots or missed patches. That reliability builds trust, and in a place like Glendale where word-of-mouth matters, it’s the kind of reputation you earn over years, not weeks.

Beyond the wash itself, the layout of the establishment is clean and functional. There’s enough space to wait without feeling cramped, and the waiting area actually has shade—which sounds minor, but it’s a big deal on a 90-degree California day. Plus, the location makes it easy to swing by while running errands on San Fernando Road.

Is it the cheapest car wash around? No, but it’s not supposed to be. You’re paying for care, not corners cut. And frankly, when you see your car looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor, it’s worth every dollar. This isn’t a place trying to upsell you on unnecessary add-ons; they’re focused on getting the basics right and doing them really well.

For anyone who’s tired of hit-or-miss car wash spots and wants a team that treats your ride like their own, this place delivers. It’s the kind of establishment you stick with once you’ve found it—because when it comes to your car, trust goes a long way.

This place deserves NO stars! Worst carwash I have ever been too. I did a hand wash which cost me $40 and they still did a crap job. The guy who dried my car was lazy and didn’t even bother to dust my cars dash. Lucky for the owner I was in a rush or I would have gone back. Stay away from this place, I would have gotten a better wash at those gas station car wash joints. 👎👎👎

Review for Glendale Classic Car Wash: ⭐ 1/5 Absolute scam. I paid $50 for a car wash and left with a car that was still dirty — inside and out. They ran it through twice, vacuumed twice, and it was still filthy. Guess who ended up cleaning it? Me. Standing there, wiping down my own car while their staff stood around watching. When I asked them to do it properly, they had the nerve to tell me, “If you want it washed again, you’ll have to pay again.” Excuse me? $50 already wasn’t enough for you to do your job right the first time? The staff was rude, unprofessional, and clearly didn’t care whether the customer was satisfied or not. Complete waste of money and time. Avoid this place unless you enjoy paying people to watch you clean your own car. Never again.

I paid $230+ tip for detailed interior cleaning plus the exterior clay polish. This is what i get for paying 230 The windows are smudged and the front door has the oil dots on it as you can see.

I brought my jeep wrangler here and was very impressed. First they took me right away and explained pricing. My car has a rack system and a lot of stickers so I preferred a hand wash with vacuum, window cleaning, and surface wipe down. With the floor mats, I paid $50 which I thought was a bit high but after I watched the crew clean very thoroughly I was happy to pay that price. They took my car right away despite it being a sunny Saturday and the entire hand washing took nearly 25 minutes where they did not stop working. I definitely recommend for a thorough wash and clean when you don’t want to pay detailing prices.

Second time going to this wash. Taking both mine and my wife's car here to wash was a terrible decision. Interiors of the cars and some spots outside remained in uncleaned condition, even though I paid for a "Platinum Carwash" and a "Hand Carwash" Their "Hand Carwash" is indeed machine washed. Explaining to the manager upon arrival that the car cant be machine washed for 5 minutes, they still machine washed the car causing the wrap to dismantle, I have had this car washed countless times and all it took for 1 irresponsibly ran carwash to ruin it. The "owner" came out upon me showing the damage and says to go sue him if I wanted to and that he didn't care. If you want your vehicles paint and clear-coat to shed every time they wash, this is the place to be.
