Years of grease, road grime and salt cleaned out from under the hood, then the plastics and hoses dressed — so the engine bay looks as cared for as the paint.
Two reasons, and neither is vanity. The first is resale: a clean engine bay is the first thing a buyer or a dealer reads as a well-maintained car, and it changes the number they offer. The second is diagnosis — on a clean bay you can actually see a fresh oil or coolant leak instead of it hiding in twenty years of grime.
It also matters more here than in most places. Connecticut winters coat everything under the hood in road salt, and salt sitting on brackets, bolts and connectors is what turns into corrosion a few years later.
The work is careful rather than aggressive: sensitive components covered, degreaser worked in by hand, controlled rinsing and then a dressing on the plastics and hoses that leaves them matte, not greasy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to wash an engine bay?
When it is done properly, yes. The risk comes from blasting a pressure washer at connectors. We cover the sensitive components and rinse at low pressure.
Does the car need to be cold?
Yes. We work on a cold engine, so if you have just driven it we will start on another part of the car first.
Can this be done mobile?
Yes, at your home or office like our other mobile services.
Is it included in a package?
It is part of the Premium Detail. On the Basic and Full it is an add-on — ask us for the price on your vehicle.
