Took my newer Cadillac there because I wanted a really thorough cleaning. I do a better job myself. The rims were still dirty but most of all the inside windows were all streaked from the rags they use to clean. Won't go again, outrageous price for what you get.

Solid 5 stars. Best car wash in town. I was just there a couple days ago. I drive all the way from Spanish Springs to get my car done here. It's a little tight getting around in a bigger SUV, but there is enough room. Employees are friendly, fast and efficient. You'll even see the owner out there helping his crew. I like that. I try my best to keep up on my car, but with kids, dogs, busy lifestyle and camping trips it quickly gets out of hand. I only have one frustration, and it has nothing to do with Buggy Bath. It has to do with inconsiderate customers who think that when they get

I purchased the super wash package for $35. I waited 90 minutes and at that time only the outside was washed and the carpet/mats vacuumed. After an hour and a half the interior still had not been cleaned. I had to leave because I had children to pick up; thankfully my car wasn't boxed in. I’ve never had such slow service. I appreciate that they probably do a really good job and staffing is short, but I can't condone such slow and incomplete service. Give yourself at least two hours to be serviced by this car wash.

On a good day, most of the other car washes in Reno/ Sparks can get your car as clean as Buggy Bath does.
Difference is Buggy Bath consistently gets it clean EVERY TIME!
The pre -wash station, combined the dry station make Buggy Bath my go to car wash!

Awesome full service wash and detail, for a good price. I drive a carpool for work and things can get a little messy, brought it in and got a full service wash and interior clean for 48 bucks. Even tipped 40 cash because of how detailed they got. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a decent priced full wash service.

This is the 2nd time I've taken my car to Buggy Bath and once again, they did an exceptional job! Their staff members are friendly and super efficient! I have three dogs which cover my car in dog hair and drool. Both times my car looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Their pricing is super affordable too. You won't find a better car wash in Reno! 👍

This is the best car wash in Reno in my opinion. Friendly employees who do an amazing job on your vehicle. While a little expensive it was worth every dollar for the amazing job they did. One gentleman even put my new floor mats down for me as I had just bought the suv and didn't want to put the new mats down until the car was cleaned . Very impressed with the way they cleaned my vehicle.

Wow, I’ve driven by here many times but never stopped in. Today I gave it a try. I purchased the $29 package. An employee by hand pre wash pressure sprayed and wet brush washed then into the multi colored wash tunnel. Then out to a very nice gentleman who dried windows and actually the whole car. I didnt have time for the included vacuuming but I’m sure it would also have been A+ also. I will be back. Good job

Had an unfortunate incident here that caused damage to my vehicle. The attendant was completely negligent and responsible for the incident. He was not paying attention and instructed to drive to move forward but did not tell them to stop. After pulling to far, he instructed the vehicle to back up which caused the substantial damage to bumper as it caught on a piece machinery that was not intended to backed over after crossing.

The owner was dishonest about the entire incident and repeatedly changed his story until we finally convinced him to show us the video evidence which confirmed our account

My 62 year old mother came here to get a car wash. The wash was fine, nothing exceptional. The problem was during the interior wash, as the employee locked her keys in her car. When they told her, she was informed that there was nothing they could do. She could not call me, as she had no phone and could not remember my number because I had gotten a new one just that day. She asked them what to do, as she had no means to get home. They said it wasn't their problem and left her by herself. They refused to call her an Uber or taxi home. My 62 year old mother then had to walk all the way home by herself

I would give them 10 stars. Not only did he try and save me money by adding up individual services instead of a detail package because I didn't want certain things done. He was sooooo nice about all my requests. I'm particularl about my new car and they didn't blink an eye. It looks brand new again. Omg. I will always go here. They do a beautiful hand wash and hand wax, and the interior is amazing. Also their shampoo is not overly scented. I had no issues with the smell and im sensitive! They are great. The cost is worth the value, 100%.

Thanks Bernard for taking great care and

First time at Buggy Bath. Borrowed a car from a friend, so I wanted to return it better than before.

The setup at Buggy Bath was not the best. You had to drive a double figure eight to get to the wash and detailing and there were about 25 cars, so the result was chaos. Several drivers cut the line, some didn't know which line was correct, and so forth.

In all, it took about 1 1/2 hours for a 'Super Wash' which was $35. There were at least a dozen workers on site and 4-5 actually worked on any given car.

The restroom was surprisingly clean and stocked.

They also have a special

Decided to try this car wash today and I am so glad I did! They were super busy but they all worked so hard without stopping and got my car cleaner than it's been since I bought it! I have 2 big hairy dogs that shed a lot so it was definitely a challenge. They were awesome, will definitely come back and recommend.

I park outside, and my car has definitely taken a beating with all of the smoke and ash the last few weeks. I decided to try the buggy bath car wash near me today, and can't believe I've waited this long!

Be aware that when I used google maps to get here it first brought me to the exit on Grove, but the entrance on Virginia has tons of bright flags so you can't miss it if you follow your eyes and not google maps ( my mistake!! ).

There was no line when I arrived and there is a big board with all of the options at the cashier when you drive it- prices start at 8$ for a basic wash

On the advice of another Yelper I tried Buggy Bath. I wish I remembered who it was because I would thank them a lot!

You drive in and choose your wash. They have everything from just the outside for $8 to basic whole car including inside for $28 to hand wax for $109.

I have gone 3 times and each time my car is sparkling clean inside and out like it is brand new.

Be prepared to wait a bit if they are busy because they do a thorough job on each car but it is totally worth the wait.

I have tried many other car washes but this is above and beyond my favorite.

I was a little hesitant to go here, but I went because my car was filthy from driving from Denver. For only $12 for an exterior wash, I was very impressed. The gentleman did some pre-washing before I went through the drive through. Then he toweled it off and applied some solution to the tires.
From a filthy car to a clean car for such a great price. I'm a fan and will return if needed while in Reno.

Buggy Bath Car Wash is listed as the best full service car wash in Reno. Located next door to the Peppermill, it was a convenient way to clean the gunk in and out of my car on a recent trip. The facility is mostly outdoors so prepare for the weather exposure.

The facility is a bit confusing to navigate with several lanes weaving in and out. The main cashier is in the back. You stay in the car for the wash but then get out and wait if you opted for an interior clean. I needed an interior clean so I had to get out and wait.

These guys did an excellent job cleaning my car. There were few drops

Came here for the first time today. Tried out a full service wash and it lasted almost an hour. It was moderately busy since it's such a nice day in Winter season.

I was so confused on how to navigate through this car wash from one station to another but luckily the staff are quick to direct you if necessary.

The staff seems thorough with wiping down the inside and that was awesome. The waiting area doesn't have much shade so I was feeling pretty toasty LOL! And with that said, I probably wouldn't come here on a hot Summer day just dude to the fact that I'm not a sunbathing

Honestly, not impressed. I came here for a simple car wash after reading good reviews. The line was long, so I had high hopes after waiting. However, my car came out still dirty in multiple places.

So close to my house and easy to use.

After 17 years with my convertible, it's time to let her go. So I stopped in to get her cleaned up to sell.

You enter the south driveway and go to the booth towards the back corner to receive a tag for your level of cleaning. Then proceed to automatic car wash entrance. When you come out stop, there's a quick check. Then pull around the corner to the vacuum station and get out. Relax under the huge shade tree. They will take the vehicle to the last station for exterior shine and tire cleaning. The whole thing took about 20 minutes.

Don’t expect a quick job if getting more than just a basic wash. I came on a Friday afternoon and took about an hour. To be expected really when putting so much work into each car. Very meticulous, and detailed! Great work!
