The most forgotten aspect of Pro Detailing is the engine bay.
In the 80's/90's cleaning the bay required protecting electrical components very well, in more present decades we still take great care to protect connections, though they are assuredly more robust than prior decades.
Your engine bay deserves the same attention as your exterior. Our Engine Bay Detailing service safely removes years of grease, grime, and dirt to restore your engine compartment to pristine condition.
A clean engine bay not only looks impressive but also makes it easier to spot leaks, perform maintenance, and can even improve resale value. Plus, it keeps your engine running cooler by removing heat-trapping dirt.
$100
Perfect for routine maintenance and included in Full Detail packages.

For heavily soiled engines with years of grease buildup.
$200-$300 +cabin filter
Specialized service for rodent remediation and duct purification.
Light Engine Bay Detailing is perfect for:
Rodents in your engine bay create serious problems:
Complete rodent remediation and cabin purification:
⚠️ Important: Rodent Cleanup is a specialized service addressing health and safety. The chlorine gas treatment purifies the entire duct intake system, eliminating airborne pathogens. We recommend this service immediately after discovering rodent activity.
Light ($100) is routine cleaning for well-maintained engines. Deep ($199) uses industrial-strength degreasers and intensive scrubbing for heavily soiled engines with years of buildup. Light is maintenance; Deep is restoration.
Absolutely. We protect all electrical components before starting, use low-pressure water, and never force water into sensitive areas. We’re fully insured and have detailed thousands of engine bays without incident.
Yes, but we recommend allowing adequate drying time (2-4 hours) before driving, especially in wet conditions. This ensures all water has evaporated from electrical connectors and sensitive areas.
Light detailing: annually or as part of routine maintenance. Deep degreasing: every 3-5 years depending on driving conditions and climate. Rodent cleanup: immediately upon discovery of rodent activity.
Our Rodent Cleanup service addresses the immediate health hazard (deposits, odors, pathogens). For electrical damage, we’ll document it and recommend you have a mechanic assess the wiring. Rodent proofing spray helps prevent future entry.
Yes! Full Detail includes Light Engine Bay Detailing ($100 value). If you want Deep Degreasing instead, we can upgrade for the difference ($99 more).
It creates an unpleasant sensory barrier that discourages rodents from re-entering the engine compartment. It’s not toxic but uses capsaicin (like hot peppers) to deter pest activity. Reapplication yearly is recommended in high-risk areas.
Light: 1-1.5 hours. Deep: 2-3 hours. Rodent Cleanup: 3-4 hours (includes duct treatment and curing time). You can wait, run errands, or use our loaner vehicle service.
A specialized purification treatment that sanitizes your entire cabin air intake and duct system, eliminating airborne pathogens left by rodents. It’s safe for occupants and highly effective at odor elimination.
Indirectly, yes. Removing grease buildup and debris allows better heat dissipation, which can improve cooling efficiency and engine operating temperature. The primary benefit is appearance and maintenance visibility though.
Engine Bay Detailing pairs perfectly with Ceramic Coating ($1,400). After your engine bay is pristine, ceramic coating protects it for 3-5 years. Plus, add both to any Full Detail package and save even more! 🚗

We inspect the bay for animal issues, debris & loose connections.
Protect precarious areas. Apply our metal safe cleaner, agitate and rinse. Remove hard water deposits and rinse/blow dry.
We only apply 303 Aerospace plastic conditioner. We have used this product explicitly since the mid 1990's, 30+ years now. It is a water-based product and lasts a considerable time.
Final Inspection: Look for remaining water, issues and retreat as needed. Start vehicle motor and allow to heat cycle.
