I've been going to Buggy Bath for about 2 years now, and it's worth driving out of my way to come here. I honestly wish they had a location in Vista! What I love most is that their drive through wash is truly touchless. There are no brushes, just high pressure water, so I don't have to worry about scratches. The wash cycle is nice and long, and my car always comes out looking really clean. After the wash, you pull into one of the finishing bays to dry your car. I bring the microfiber towels I purchased there and go over my car myself. They also have pay to use vacuums that work great and even a towel wringer, which is a thoughtful touch. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, especially the woman with glasses. They also have a store where you can purchase cleaning supplies, air fresheners, microfiber towels, and other car care products. This has become my go to car wash, and I'll happily keep making the drive to come here. read more

Great spot to wash your car in Oceanside! They have both self-serve bays and a drive-thru, so you can pick whatever works best. Super easy since they take cash or card. The mini market is a nice bonus too you can grab a drink, snack, or even some cleaning supplies while you're there. Always clean and everything works the way it should. read more

Great self-serve car wash. Good cleaning products. Good water pressure. Have coins ($2) for the vacuums...no cards taken there, otherwise you can be cash-free. Only downside was the poor power of the power-dry apparatus. read more

Love using the touchless wash but the drying time is way too short. For 15$ now it's not worth it anymore. read more

Personally I think we've started to hand out 5 stars for places that just do the bare minimum and don't mess things up. These folks are incredibly kind, so welcoming. The place is kept up fairly nicely and the customers seem to move along quickly enough to where it's never a long wait. read more

My new favorite car wash place! I used $5 cash for 5 minutes. I didn't realize the soap gun thingy was on the opposite side of the water sprayer. I will use it next time lol the water pressure was good though and cleaned off most of the dirt. Will come back and try again properly read more

Be forewarned I just came back from the Oceanside Buggy Bath self car wash. The only reason I gave it a 1 star is because when I finished and pushed the STOP button on the credit card timer the timer didn't STOP RIGHT AWAY. It kept on going even though I kept pushing the big red stop button. It kept going for a few minutes while I walked to the guy working there and when we got back it had stopped. Was this a fluke or do they have it set to continue charging my card for a few extra minutes. Doesn't seem like a lot of money but a little bit from everyone ober days ,weeks,months to a year that could be a hefty amount of income. AS SOON AS WE PUSH THE STOP BUTTON THE CREDIT CARD CHARGING MUST STOP!!! read more

This review is for express wash. Disappointing. Tried their brushless express car was ($12). Was in a rush and check the car when getting to work. Car was still very dirty. There was a line of dirt across the length of the vehicle. Surprising and disappointing. Attaching pictures of the vehicle after the wash. :-( read more

It would be five stars but it's a bit overpriced. I never can finish my car with $10. Always need a couple extra bucks. Encinitas I can do my whole car with $8. In the hood, I can do my car for $6. Today I left with a soapy car because the mini mart was closed and I only had a $50 bill. Super frustrating! read more

I love this car wash it's always clean and in operation! Jonathan the cashier is always super funny and nice!

Efficient at every way possible & they upgraded their car wash. Johnathan will help you out with whatever you need . read more

You'd be smart to go to Buggy Bath Mini Mart,in Oceanside CA.These are the Three Musketeers who're very sincere: Mercedes, Kendra and Elizabeth. THANKS from us to all of you. read more

The touchless car wash isn't great I expected more for a $18 wash. I still had dirt on my car and a few spots all around the car that shouldn't really be an issue with a pressure wash. Place is kept up well and isn't a terrible wash my expectations were set pretty high from the reviews but it's not as great as they lead on. read more

It was my first time here and they had everything we needed to get our car clean. The service was great as well!

I have been a patron of the Buggy Bath for almost a year now! This place is GREAT! The car wash stalls are always much cleaner than other places or gas stations I go to. And the Automatic is REALLY what gets me going. I haven't ever had an automatic wash do such a good job on my car! I keep coming back to this spot for the Wash! Kendra the Manager of the place is literally the sweetest person, always willing to accommodate your needs and offer the fast friendly service that is so lacking elsewhere. Mercedes is always so friendly and efficient and definitely is ready with nice words and a "Have a Great day" whenever I visit the Mini Mart! Overall, while no car wash is perfect, with the amazing staff and great washes here, either manual or Automatic The Oceanside Buggy Bath is the Place to come!!! read more

Great carwash self service and automatic touch and touchless highly recommended clean and friendly

Says $3 but if you go one second over 3 minutes they charge your card $10 no matter what. Little scummy, wish they would charge double or by how long you went over. Used to be my go to read more

Just want to give a shout-out to Jonathan. I met him a couple weeks ago. He explained to me that he was now in charge there and the ladies have been relocated when I called to see if they were still open. It was late and I HAD TO GET MY JOLLY RANCHERS. Though it was close to closing time, Jonathan also stated he'd wait till I got there. I forgot I'm over 60 running to the Buggy and had to slow down but I kept calling to let him know I was running and don't close. Johnathan is such a laid back young fellow. I got my Jolly Ranchers and was waiting for the Uber. Jonathan and Paul closed the store up. Jonathan came to me and offered me a ride home but the Uber was already on its way and Jonathan would not leave me there alone. We chatted till the Uber came. Jonathan could've went home but he didn't. Jonathan's a Great Business Manager and a Real Gentleman. Thanks again Jonathan. read more

come here all the time and they always have exactly what I'm looking for and always help!!

great service ! has every car cleaning product needed to make car look great! thank you!

Wow. If your looking for a good car wash fast. This is your spot. I had been curious always driving by it. So I thought, today will be my day to try. My car was filthy!!!! Meet the manger, by the way super nice and friendly. We had a short chat. So i gave it try. Im in love, i will go no where else. The best part no one knows yet. I give this auto wash a 10 stars not 5. Also i have to add, this baby hugs your car and scrubs. Don't believe me try it for yourself. I know i will be back every week. Ty read more

This place is the worst car wash EVER !!!!!!!Your lucky if you even get your car completely wet before your $3.00 runs out, and even after spending $8.00 your car will not be washed or rinsed, their soap is watered down they have the fastest seconds known to man and your time runs out while your waiting for the selection you picked kicks in. NO BS this place is a COMPLETE RIPOFF . I knew I should have went to the car wash on COAST HIGHWAY, but of course I was stupid and used this ass nine place again. Trust me DO NOT DO IT, You'll spend a lot of money and be mad when you got to come home and re wash your car like I've had to the last 3 times I've used this place. I Have Learned my Lesson for the last time!!!!!!! read more

Went there Thursday morning, started with the pre-wash foam that was slow in coming and was a skinny stream. Ice cold water and hardly any soap coming out of the wash jet, used the scrub brush also but finally drove away after spending over $5 with a car that wasn't clean. read more

Fantastic car wash. Owner was here and super nice guy that really cared about not only how I felt about the quality but was sincere in wanting me to come back again. Absolutely will, it was great service and awesome wash! read more
