I spotted this car wash on my way home earlier in the week, and decided to try it for the first time today. Its close to home, and I can use my own brushes. All the equipment I used worked well, and had good pressure. The overhead hose system is very cool. Will definitely use again.

Gets the job done every time. Never a complaint coming here. Machines accept card just fine and dont overcharge, soap is always in stock.

Not cleanest, but has Detailers on same property ($25&up) 3 or 4 stalls, in & out, w/ wax, brush scrub, clear coat, and rinse LESS Than $5 on credit card!! Shop and service local!!

Everything went fine. Use the power washer rinse close to the car to get the little bits of crud off!

Very professional. They did a great job on my car.

You get what you pay for. The place is meh.It is very old and not really well maintained. It is dirty, a lot of sand from the beach in the washing area (seems they dont even clean that), been coming to this place for more than a year and its the same old place in Linda vista where they dont care about nice things.Most of the machines are old and not really well taken care of.The pressure for the pre wash and soap isnt enough if you really want to wash your car. The drying machine doesnt even have enough pressure to dry your car. By the time you dry a part of your car your time is over.I only do bucket method for my car so I only go for the water pressure. I wouldnt recommend washing your car here if your going to use the brushes and soap they provide.I been going to many self car wash places and so far this is the worst.Only positive thing about this place is the price. $3 for 5 min. Others are about $4.Water pressure is really good.Once again. You get what you pay for.

This place is hit or missSometimes their equipment doesnt work or the water wont drainHopefully there is a car in front of you so you can see how everything is working

Its my only place to wash my car, I think the owner needs to improve it, I saw a self service car wash in palm Ave it was very equiped.

Hard to get you car in, scraping bottom. Coin machine needs upgrades

Want to wash your car and have all the needed utensils - even help - at your side, so that you can do a superb job? Then you need to try Buggy Bath Car Wash: I use their outlet in Linda Vista on Comstock St. and it can be found right across the street from the Linda Vista Post Office.Buggy Bath Car Wash has a number of outlets located throughout San Diego and as a self service car wash they have everything that youll need and more, to give your car that much needed cleaning ( You should arrive with plenty of one dollar Bills and quarters however, I believe that they take credit and debit cards.).They have enclosed individual stalls for each car and each one comes with all the equipment that youll need to thoroughly wash, dry and clean (vacuum) out the interior of your car.They also have an area where you can have your car professionally waxed and detailed however, I prefer to do the latter myself: Im also unsure if this is still there however, Ive seen others waxing their cars/trucks in the area.Since its inception several years ago, Buggy Bath Car Wash has become very popular and a great place for local car buffs to meet and clean their cars.

DO NOT GO THERE. I used to go here since it was close to home and cheap, but its unlikely that the bays will work, they smell like fish and not many (if any) take credit card. This was a disappointment, since its a great location and very needed.

The sewage dreams could be clean better

Great place. Stairs in one Bay to be able to clean your roof. Very helpful. Id recommend to anyone

The Buggy Bath facility is in need of some routine maintenance. The drain in my car wash stall was clogged, causing a large puddle to form, and one of the foaming devices was a little sputtery. Still, my car is clean for less than 5 dollars, in under 15 minutes. I think its far better than drive through washes that cost more and sometimes damage the windshield wipers.

I like to do it myself, for cheap. This place can get busy, but it moves quick and doesnt usually disappoint :) When I left something once, they got back to me right away trying to help me locate it. Good people, good place.

Ive been using this place for years and love the place and the idea of washing my own car and nothing touching my paint. This place is great most of the time.The card readers seem to work if you figure out how to maneuver them the right way, the card slot is finicky on the bays. The vacuum didnt work so I had to go to another that worked very well. Some bays have dripped fluid on my car. I noticed one bay I typically use was fixed.I feel cheated at times because over years of use Ive lost alot of money on the vacuums, they even have taken the dollar coins you get here and only credit 75 cents. I know it sounds fishy but its really bothered me everytime this happens or it just eats the coin or the vacuum doesnt work. I know the owner will happily fix the issue and mail a few dollars but it seems unnecessary over a dollar here and there but seriously... Over time this adds up and I will always feel a tad off over the poorly maintained equipment. I have bought my own shop vac for at home because of this issue but I like the convenience of doing it when I wash my car.The driveways are absolutely awful and will damage your car if you dont pull out the right way.

I’ve been using this car wash for nearly two years. At first, it was great - equipment worked well, and the price was fair. Now, however, it shows neglect from the managers/owners. Several bays have non-functioning options. One doesn’t even have spray soap, and hasn’t for several months, and there’s no indication that it doesn’t. It’s understandable that equipment needs maintenance and repair occasionally. Businesses deal with it. When there’s no maintenance, that indicates that the business isn’t dealing with its problems, yet continues to charge customers for using non-functioning facilities. Thats bad business practice, and I won’t be returning.

The vacum is bad and someone stole my stuff

Nice place to wash your car

Great value, good facilities and options on machine, even cleans my wheels and tires!

Piersalls Linda Vista Buggy Bath is one of the most popular self serving car wash within the Linda Vista area. It is a full service coin operated wash where you can wash your vehicle thoroughly for just a couple of dollars; they provide all the necessary ingredients needed and you can bring your own things as well.They have an excellent vacuum cleaner as well; with enough suction power to really clean out the interior of whatever vehicle your bring into their station.They also have a machine that disperses soaps and other cleansers too.You can wash and polish your car, motorcycle or scooter too, so when youre done you have beautiful example of a professionally done detailed job that others will admire.

For some reason some of their tokens dont work? Lucky I had a lot of them to keep pumping them in.

This car wash is dirty and has broken equipment that doesnt work right half the time. The vacuums dont take credit cards. Theres always something broken in each sprayer stall. The brushes are worn and pre-soak basically just drips out, which increases the time spent with the meter running.Theres a little known, albeit smaller, self car wash in nearby Sara Mesa that is cleaner and better maintained. Use that one instead.

It was fine. A litle expwnaive

I would rate 5 stars but sometimes the tokens you are required to use dont work. But you can call the main people and they will replace the token for you but it takes a while for that.

This place is called Linda Vista Buggy Wash. And the owner (Im assuming its the owner who I met) is SO NICE! I asked her for advice on how best to remove pollen from my car, and not only did she offer advice, but she came by later to see how well it was working, gave me extra wash time (since it wasnt working too well so far), and even spent a good amount of time helping me scrub my car with her own wash towel. She used some of her own solvent on some sap that was on my car, then got the detail guy to come over and show me the stuff he uses, giving me advice on where to get my own. The machines take credit cards, and the soap even comes out in fun rainbow colors. Best car wash experience Ive ever had in San Diego.

Always go late or real early no waiting

Good place to wash your car/truck. Bay one has the stairs to get above your car or truck and really clean the roof or high areas. The other bays offer regular car/truck wash. Each bay has a vacuum and fragrance machine before entering the washing area and its helpful when there is a line. When done, you pull forward and there is an area for 4 cars to park and dry your vehicle. There is another two vacuums in the back as well. Seemed well priced for the self-service. I ended up paying about $8-10 for a car wash and vacuum. Came here around 10am and it was pretty empty, but by 10:30 it was getting crowded. Overall good car wash, if your in the area.

Needs to be updated some cleaning stations dont clean cars well plus the drive way itself needs work i would maybr say new paint job.

Efficient, good price, busy

Been here a few times before and was pretty satisfied. Got out with a $10 wash. However, the past few times Ive been here, the equipment does not work. Last time the vacuum took my money (vacuums are not strong at all) and didnt turn on, the blast dry doesnt work, and now this time my card wont even read in the card slot! So disappointing. Finding another place to spend my money! (Recommend: Piersall’s day and night wash- much newer equipment and nicer overall)

Its been there all my life

Extremely crowded

My main go to carwash in the hood. Where i grew up.

No line easy fast

Great place to get your whip cleaned

Good water pressure and equipment

Really nice washing and cheap, but you gotta hurry up, time is running out. Cost me 9$ to turn my mobile dust pile into a shiny car

7/24

Average they do have a blower to dry the car with.

Space is available at arrival most of time.Vacuum might be weak some times and expensive. There is a space to park for manual dry.There is an option of self wash with less expensive or pay hand wash right on the spot.

One of my wprst mistakes of my life- needed a quick wash before a banquet- my car looks much worst than it did before...Used rinse plus extra spot free rinse and double dried and white streaks everywhere as if I went thru a white paint.... I wanted to save mo ey and time now im franticly looking for next carwash to fix what this one did...

Spotless rinse is garbage, doesnt work. The rinse cycles (both) seem to leave a residue. The vaccum time is ridiculously short for a dollar.

I love this carwash. Very cheap but does good job!!

Be sure to press stop on the credit card reader or you will be charged 15 bucks no matter how long or short you used the car wash

This is the best car wash nearby! It costs me only $4 to make my car shiny

Great for a quickie...In & Out in a few minutes...and no clean up...wanted to wash the car off before heading down to the hotel.

Popular with locals. Getting kind of run down, but you can wash your own car here and get it detailed afterwards behind the facility

Its cheap and very clean

Only takes token But clean

Use a credit card 💳 needs new pavement ! 🚗

Convenient location moderately priced.

Great place to wash your car.

It looks very run down ...but for 3.00

Went here 3 times, each time they over charged from what it said I used. Go somewhere else

Its ok thank you

Don’t Put credit card or debit card Theyre thieves Three minute he charge me $15

Well lit and easy to clean my car.

Good price/Time ratio. Driveway is very uncomfortable to enter and exit

Good work....

This is where Linda Vistans wash theyre cars.

I dont like his job,also he is upset and angry,bad service - - -

Clean. Maintend and reasonable in the wallet

Only takes cash. It will not take a credit card.

Wasnt there but parked closed by to attend the multicultural festival.

This car wash gets a lot of business....and it has a detail shop set up behind the car wash self serve, and the prices are moderate to average.

Excellent Self Serve Carwash!!

Card slot doesn’t work, so bring cash

Something always broke

It has some issues with the quality of equipment

Not a good job using the self service bay. Time was limited and water pressure below what Im used to.

It took my money twice and full of crackheads

Ok

Tight spot but gets the job done.

Do it yourself

Took my quarter

Machines eat your money.

No comment

Rip OFF

Amazing

Linda Vista staple.

I always love being alone and very clean

Very good !! And economic!!

It is a dirty place THERE IS A LOT OF OIL THROWN WHERE YOU DRY THE CAR AND IT IS ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE WITH 7 DOLLARS IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU TO WASH THE CAR and also if you go at night THERE IS NO LIGHT THERE there are only some bulbs. Unusable also 1 dollar is a moment ..to vacuum it really is very expensive and very poor service. I DO NOT RECOMMEND it even though I have already been more than 4 times

Good water pressure good soap all very good

For me, cleaning is necessary and essential, both personally and for each and every one of our utensils, and the car is a priority, since it takes your life and yours on their tires, motor, etc, etc, etc. ..... It was good to see how handsome the cart was, EVERY little white the ... (I love that cart, I like the color white) 💚💙💜🧡👍 its my favorite !!!!

I like it because it doesnt take long to wait.

What happens

Excellent

I think people have their own tastes, but if it is about tastes: well .... to try !!! ... or noooo ??? ... 🙃🙃🙃

Best

Ill put in gasoline ⁉️

People have their tastes so to try
