I’ve been bringing my vehicles here regularly, and they always come out clean and looking great. The staff is friendly and quick to address any small issues I point out, which I really appreciate. Consistent service and great customer care—highly recommend!

Buggy Bathe on Shore Drive is hands-down the best auto wash and detail shop in Virginia Beach! The team is friendly, professional, and always goes the extra mile to make my car look spotless inside and out. I love the convenient location and quick service and my car always shines like new. Highly recommended!

It was $30 for the best exterior only car wash. When they were done I asked the guy "did you do anything to it?" His response was "yeah we wiped it down". He had his hamd out for a tip though. This used to be my favorite car wash in Virginia Beach but now it seems like they are not even mediocre. The pics are of my grill AFTER they were done.

They didn't clean very well. Wasted $22 and a change. I had to say something with my dashboard to be cleaned. Didn't throw the trash on the floor. Didn't vacuum the back of the car. There are still finger marks on the door handles. First and last time. I wish I never tried. There are still markings on the middle console. Dead bugs in front of my car. Thanks for nothing. I was going to say no star, but it won't let me.

This was after they redid it twice! … as well as someone else I know. I had ONE stain on my drivers seat that lifted the first time they did it… but all of these came after the detailing. Not good. Still have the stains to this day. Everything was great besides the seats though.

I signed up for the top monthly service today for $60 a month. My car wasn’t crazy dirty, and at first look they did a good job and everyone was super nice. I noticed a really thick about one inch long black scuff mark on the front right of my bumper that wasn’t there before. I couldn’t get it off with my finger but they did get it off. But what was done to create a scuff mark that big? Or at all? I should have taken a picture but i was just trying to get it fixed. Once i started driving away i noticed my center console was still really dirty and there was still a whole piece of trash left. And once I got home i checked my front bumper more and directly above where the scuff mark was, there’s another scratch but it’s in the paint… it’s smaller so I didn’t notice right away but it was directly above the other mark which again wasn’t there before. And when i dropped it off i asked if they would clean the truck bed and she said they don’t do that but she would spray it out anyways. I have a compact truck, a maverick. It’s very small, it’s the same price if I paid for my SUV to get cleaned, so why isn't at the very least spraying the leaves out of my truck bed not included when trunks of cars are cleaned? And sure enough when i got home I checked the truck bed. It wasn't touched. And there are streaks all over the truck that are pretty obvious, and it’s supposed to be streak free wash. By the time I got home it was right before they closed and there isn’t an email to send this to so I resorted to a review. I know i have the membership so I could just go back but I shouldn’t have to take more time out of my day for these easy things that should have been done in the first place, and I’m not sure what to do about the scratch in my paint. Lastly, I didn’t get a car freshener or scent, wether it was just a spray with scent or a hanging scent, she said it would be lemon, there was no scent at all, it doesn’t matter to me but it was just another thing that wasn’t done right.

Shore drive location does a fair job however, they take so long to do it. Very simple wash and interior clean, took more than 40 minutes to even get it into the wash.

I had my GMC SUV interior detailed and they did a phenomenal job with the carpets and dash. The car looks and smells brand new. Appreciate the attention to detail.

Unfortunately, I was not able to use the services of Buggy Bathe, so this is a review of their pricing. I brought my Honda Odyssey to the Virginia Beach location to get a quote on a complete detail service. The Buggy Bathe pamphlet states the cost of a complete detail service is from $349.95 for most vehicles. My car is not that dirty, no kids or pets, just a little grass, but it is a van. The quote was $1,000! The person giving the quote said the owner told him that was what he needed to charge for mini vans, because they take a long time to clean. I can see an extra $50-100, but $650 more? I am not sure why such an upcharged, but this company will not be getting my business!

I'm going to have to change my rating. Generally speaking, I was content using this car wash. The tire wax always looks good, and the car always held a clean scent for a while after a visit. The cleaners are always friendly, which is a plus. However, in my last visit the paint of my car was chipped. I'll admit that I came in when they were busy, and my car exterior was a bit dirtier than usual since I was sick for some time. I'm usually forgiving of a few things. A few streaks on the door or mirror don't bother me. I saw one spot where the paint was chipped and let it go. I had other commitments and up until then, the carwash had always been a generally good experience. But as the day went on, I noticed more paint chips. None of these chips were there before the car wash. I don't know what happened, and I have yet to receive a response from when I left a message on the website. I've already sold the car so it's not like I'm looking for compensation, either. But now I have to find another place to wash my NEW car because I would hate to have this happen again. EDIT: Buggy Bathe did respond, however it went into my spam folder. After reading their response to this review, I see where I missed it. They did respond on the same day.

I was at Buggy Bath on 2/18/26 to just get Our Tucson washed, vacuumed and windows washed. Upon arriving there were two cars ahead of us. It was an hour before I got in my car to drive away. Weather was nice so we sat on the bench outside. Our Tucson washed parked in full view. What we watched was the most discombobulated display of two guys wiping down cars that I have ever seen in my life. Walking around like they were completely lot, continuously looking around to see what was going on instead of concentrating on the vehicle, leaving the car to go and talk to other people. It was totally ridiculous. One guy who was waiting interrupted him to get his vehicle because he was tired of waiting and he was in line behind me. My wife spoke to the young lady about the situation and she said she would talk with them as she was the trainer. I just had to sit there and shake my head at the whole situation. I know good help is hard to find but this display was painful.
