Your Engine Bay Will Look 10x Better

Whether you’ve just purchased a new vehicle, plan on selling it, or simply want to give it some much-needed TLC, cleaning your engine bay can make a huge difference.

 

Not only does a clean engine bay make your car look better (legend has it, it’s also faster), but it also has practical benefits. A spotless engine helps you diagnose issues more easily.

 

You’ll be able to quickly spot leaks, tears, or any areas that might need attention—making it easier to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

 

After we’re done, your engine bay will look 10x better, giving your car a cleaner, more polished appearance and helping you keep everything in top working condition.

Here’s Our Engine Cleaning Process:

1. ​Inspect Engine Bay
We start by thoroughly inspecting the engine bay to identify any areas that may need special attention during the cleaning process.

 
2. Cover Sensitive Areas
Depending on the vehicle, we carefully cover sensitive components such as the battery, intake, and any other parts that should not get wet.

 
3. Spray and Agitate
This is the heavy-lifting part of the job. We use specialized cleaners and a variety of brushes to break down dirt, grease, and grime from all the nooks and crannies. 

 
4. Dry and Blow Any Water
After cleaning, we dry the engine bay thoroughly, ensuring there’s no trapped water, especially in tight areas, using air blowers and towels.

 
5. Final Touch-Up and Dress Plastic
To finish, we touch up any spots that need extra care and apply a plastic dressing to shine and protect the plastic panels.

Why Choose Us for Engine Cleaning?

 

Many of our customers worry about cleaning their engine bay themselves, fearing they could cause damage.

 

Without the right tools, knowledge, and skills, that’s a legitimate concern.

 

When you choose our service, you can rest easy knowing we have the proper expertise, tools, and care to ensure your engine is cleaned safely and effectively, with zero risk of damage.

 

Notice: As of January 1st 2025, we require all standalone engine cleaning services to be performed at our shop location. If you'd like to have this service performed as part of a mobile service, please pair it with a Premium Wash.

Engine Cleaning FAQ

 

Do I bring the car to you? Do you come to me?

For a standalone engine cleaning service, we require the vehicle to be dropped off at our shop location. We no longer offer engine cleaning as a mobile service.

 

How long does this service take?

Typically, the engine cleaning service takes around 30 minutes to complete, depending on the size and condition of the engine bay. If the engine bay is particularly dirty or has heavy buildup, it may take longer.

 

Are you going to use water on my engine bay?

Yes, we use water during the cleaning process, but we are very careful. We don’t flood the engine bay. We take precautions to cover sensitive areas, hold the water wand at a safe distance, and focus on rinsing off dirt and grime without causing any damage.

 

There’s an oil leak/spill. Can you clean that up?

If your engine bay is heavily coated with oil or grease, we may not be able to perform the service. While we can clean the outer surfaces, we can't fully address severe oil leaks or spills, especially if the mess is deep in the engine bay. It’s best to address any leaks before getting an engine cleaning to ensure optimal results.
