VIP Package and this is what I end up with. I will not waste my money here again.

The oil lube was very precise and fast. I paid for my to be cleaned. the third row in my car did not get touched at all, wipe down, or even vacuumed. I went back inside and asked for a discount, after they told me they could vacuum it out, after being there for almost two hours already. Instead of getting a discount the manager told me to ask for him next time I came back. I definitely will not be back to be disappointed again.

I have been coming there for years. I have always been pleased with the quality of service. But I got the VIP yesterday and it was not even close to the job I have ever had. There was next to no one there so there was no need for a rush job either. I will not be back.

I highly recommend this place. I came in with bo appointment and had my oil changed, several filters changed, and all other fluids topped off. I was in and out in around 30 minutes. The lub techs were great and very pleasant. And I was pleasantly surprised at the cost.

A group of very friendly and efficient people from the moment we pulled into the parking lot there was someone working on my car with the intention of having my car washed, waxed, and vacuumed in a timely matter. Great place!!

I have been to this business many times in the past and was very pleased with the service. Today, however was the worst job they have ever done. I dont know if it is because they have sold out or what but the vacuum job was terrible. The interior was no better than when I took it in. If the new owners dont do any better job than han today, I will never go back.

I got the special and left my car to be cleaned. I picked it up and when I got in my car and left I was so frustrated at what I found. There were still crumbs in the back seat near the car seat and middle seat. My cup holders weren’t even wiped out. Under the seats weren’t vacuumed as well as the passenger side floor. Worst money I’ve spent. I will never be back.

The physical cleaning of the car is fine. Unfortunately, we’re in the middle of a pandemic and the inside staff do not wear masks nor do they enforce wearing a mask for the patrons who sit inside. Most did not have masks on in the waiting area today. Very unprofessional and careless.

This place is just incredible! I came in to get my car washed and then last minute decided to get my oil changed. DJ took care of me and helped me, he is awesome. He took the time to answer some questions I had, and is extremely knowledgeable. They not only beat the pricing of Jiffy Lube, but also had my vehicle looking brand new. Remember quality takes time folks! But it was a reasonable amount of time. I am definitely coming back and will make sure my family comes here from now on too.

Review №29

I appreciate the hard work, but probably my last time here, it’s takes a minimum of an hour and a half to get a full service, that is ridiculous, who manages this place... who owns it. I would be all over this problem but no, my time is more valuable than waiting 2 hours here. So BR no more business fir you, oil changes unfortunately will go with it.

Review №32

Today is the 1st time I have ever visited and paid for services at this particular Johnson City location. I always use Southern Classic to have my car washed and detailed but I always go to the Kingsport location. Anyways, I noticed as soon as i pulled up to the vacuum line that there were at least 20 to 25 cars total having their vehicles washed!!! I will admit that both lines moved fairly quickly. I paid for the VIP package which cost $31.95 plus tax which is always well worth it but I ended up having to wait in their lobby for 25-30 minutes for my car to get completely done and finished. I guess it is a good thing that 1 of my 3 teenage daughters was having their hair done at the salon next door or I would have probably been a little impatient lol 😆. The only reason why I took one star 🌟 off the rating is because of the wait time. I also tipped the employees whom worked on my car $20 cause I completely understand how hard and tiresome it can be to wash the inside and outside of numerous vehicles on a daily basis. Keep up the excellent work guys!!!!

Review №35

I needed to have my oil filter changed because another local competitor couldnt remove the filter. Cody had the filter changed in minutes and actually lubed the drive line that the competitor didnt do correctly without being asked. I then had them flush the radiator, change the differential fluid, and change the transfer case fluid. All the work was performed in a timely manner with exceptional customer service. I would highly recommend Cody and this location when its time to have your car serviced.

Review №41

Ive used Classic for YEARS and have always been impressed. HOWEVER, the last 2xs have been terrible. Both times I paid for VIP, but got lick & promise. Inside not vacuumed good, still have coffee stains on console, footprints on passenger door, & windows streaked. Tires looked good though.I was there 2 days ago, nice day, I sat outside to watch since last time didnt get cleaned. I heard a worker ask another worker if they would hand them a pad so they wouldnt have to get out of hatch, reply thats not my car. Saw several employees on phones and others making comments about not using phones. But what really got to me was 3 young men standing talking/laughing while coworkers were doing the work. This was a very busy day & I could have overlooked some missed details, but not when some employees were having a party.Manager or OWNER needs to address all of this. Like I said Ive used Classic since you opened, Im not sure you will get strike 3 from me.

Wow I am blown away by the customer service values this company holds!! I needed a tire plugged then my spare put away and I was immediately helped with excellence. The manager, DJ went out of his way and Matt (Irish) also allowed me to leave town on time as I was in a rush. They are courteous, extremely reasonable pricing and fast. This will be my Johnson City service stop while I live here. A+

Review №52

During this time of Covid in our country, I wear a mask out of respect to those around me. I still try to do business, but do it carefully. If you share this view, you may be uncomfortable with how Southern Classic may handle their interaction with you. I was greeted at my door by someone not wearing a mask and then she stood about 3 feet away when talking to me. As I backed up to get social distance, she moved closer to close the gap. I understand it would be difficult and extremely hot to keep a mask on doing this work. None of the employees that I see are wearIng a mask anywhere, including inside of customer vehicles. They still do good work, and I appreciate them greatly. Just wanting to share that if you are a Covid-cautious individual, this may not be a place for you right now.

Review №56

For the price paid for the premium car wash - the attention to detail was sub-par. Interior - windows streaky, armor-all spotty and short lasting air freshener (I suspect it was a spray). Exterior - even though it was auto washed, it was hand detailed by people and not all dirt/spots were removed. Had to clean spots when I got home. For what you say you provide for the price, the least you could do is live up to it. Overall the car was cleaner, but I could have spent the same amount of time and less money to accomplish the same outcome.

Review №57

Maybe it was an off day but I wouldnt waste my time here again. Just wanted the interior done. They hit it with a lick and a promise. Completely missed cleaning the passengers side door and the inside of the windshield looked like it was cleaned with a dirty mop. Missed dusting several areas of the dash. Sorry guys but yall seriously dropped the ball on this one. Ill go elsewhere next time. I doubt any of us will lose sleep over that tho.

Review №58

I have been getting my company provided vehicles washed here for the last 4 years 1-2X a month and this last visit really let me down and motivated my to share the care management has for your vehicle when its in their care. I have a 6 month old vehicle that sometime during their wash process put several moderate scratches on the driver side passenger door frame. I told the manager on duty about it and she confirmed after a lengthy inspection process with their camera system that she did not see any damage to the vehicle when i gave it to them. I didnt give her a hard time about it because its a company vehicle and i do not have any personal investment it in but i would like to see if there is something that can be done to repair the damage. She collected my information and told me the GM would call me, i never heard from them. This place does not care for their customers vehicles, damages them, does everything they can do to blame someone else, and if there is no way to dispute the damage avoids taking responsibility by avoiding the affected customer.

They do a lot more then oil change! They have good deals n you get a discount for car wash when youve had car services done there too. Bobby was very helpful and answered all my questions and concerns! I recommend them to my daughter because she needs things done on her vehicle as well. Only thing was they couldnt get the tree sap off top of my car because its hard to get that stuff off. But recommended them!

Review №64

I have been taking my vehicles to this location for over 10 years and no complaints. Until lately. Last oil change they over-filled causing me to have to get a gasket replaced costing $75. This time, it took them an hour for a basic oil change. I’ve noticed a lot of new employees which obviously has not been a good thing. While I completely understand it is hard to find good, qualified employees, it’s time for another changing of the guard.No review on wash services because I do not get my vehicles washed there.

Well, for the second time I had to have my car took back and have my floor Matts recleaned there was still tried milk on my Mats from where a sippy cup turned over and the Mats wasnt even took up to vacuum cause there was still dirt on rugs and there was still dirt in my cup holders and my center screen hadnt even been wiped cause my finger prints was still on it when car came back to me. You take your car and pay good money to get it cleaned and this surely wasnt worth the money .

Johnson City location - Ive always had a great experience.

I dropped my vehicle off for an oil change and the VIP wash. The oil change was fine except for the additional charge for a special filter. ($2.00) I can live with that but it should have been included. The biggest disappointment was with the wash. Outside looks okay but the inside is pitiful. Dirt still in the cup holders and in the floor. I will never go back for that price and job quality.

When they said my vehicle was ready, I went to get in, they had lost my floor mats. I looked in the back floor, they had not touched it with anything. The outside still has the dirty swipes left from the automatic car wash. I could have gotten a better wash at the church fund riser!

Absolutely phenomenal customer service and good prices for oil change. A clean, incredibly pleasant waiting area and shop. Professionality from employees.Im here from out of town but a family member recommended this place and I followed blindly to the mark, and I was very much impressed. I will gladly do business with such top-notch, more locally owned, businesses such as this than big chains any day.They also pointed out the corrosion on my battery, and while this is an upsell they charge good prices for the services they do, so them cleaning the battery was a nice addition.If I lived near here, I would certainly come again.

Review №96

I thought it was great. Contrary to what other users say, my car was FULL of dog hair and they got every bit of it up. They were incredibly busy and I was in and out of there in 30 minutes or less with a completely clean car. I dont mind spending $30 when it comes out looking great. I will probably stick with the basic for a while - $16.95 to wash and vacuum? Sign me up!!! Thanks. I will definitely be using them again!

Had oil changed and tire rotation. Got in van and light was on for low tire. Took it back in and they said light was already on I had a bad sensor. Told the no they need to reprogram sensor they said they didn’t have a tool to do that. Got my money back for rotation went to tire shop down the street and had sensors programmed and boom light was off. Bad sensor???? Not! Tired of people doing jobs they should not be doing!
