Why It's Worth Doing

Done the right way, not the fast way.

Safe, controlled degreasing

We match the chemical to the job instead of blasting everything with the same harsh cleaner.

Hand-cleaned around sensors & wiring

Electrical components and connectors are protected and cleaned by hand, not pressure-washed blind.

Trim & plastic dressing finish

Plastic covers and trim get dressed so the bay looks refreshed, not just rinsed off.

Easier to catch problems early

A clean engine bay makes it far easier to spot a new leak, a fraying belt, or a loose hose.

How To Get It

It's an add-on, not a standalone service.

Best paired with any detail package.

Engine bay cleaning is offered as an add-on to any exterior or interior detail, not as a stand-alone visit. Just mention it when you book and we'll build it into your appointment — ask us for current add-on pricing at that time.

It's a great addition if you're already getting a detail done, getting ready to sell or trade in the vehicle, or just want everything under the hood to match how clean the rest of the car is.

  • Add it to any exterior or interior detail package
  • Great before a sale, trade-in, or car show
