Why Clean Your Engine Bay?
More than just aesthetics—a clean engine has real benefits
Easier Leak Detection
A clean engine makes it easy to spot fluid leaks immediately. Oil, coolant, or brake fluid leaks are visible right away, allowing you to address problems before they become expensive repairs.
Better Cooling Efficiency
Thick layers of dirt and grease act as insulation, trapping heat in your engine bay. A clean engine dissipates heat more efficiently, potentially improving performance and longevity.
Increased Resale Value
A detailed engine bay signals meticulous maintenance to potential buyers. It shows pride of ownership and can increase your vehicle's resale value by hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Simpler Maintenance
Working on a clean engine is safer and more pleasant. Mechanics appreciate a clean workspace, and you'll find DIY maintenance much easier when you can actually see what you're working on.
Prevent Corrosion
Salt, dirt, and grime accelerate corrosion on metal components, wiring, and hoses. Regular cleaning removes these corrosive elements, extending the life of expensive engine components.
Show-Ready Appearance
Whether you're attending car shows, selling your vehicle, or just take pride in your ride, a detailed engine bay makes a powerful impression. It's the mark of a true enthusiast.
Our Safe, Professional Process
Meticulous 6-step method designed for modern vehicles
Pre-Inspection & Protection
We inspect your engine bay and protect all sensitive components including the alternator, fuse box, air intake, and electrical connections with waterproof covers. Safety first, always.
Degreaser Application
We apply professional-grade, engine-safe degreaser to break down oil, grease, and grime. Our products are formulated specifically for automotive use and won't damage rubber, plastic, or painted surfaces.
Gentle Agitation
Using soft brushes and detailing tools, we agitate heavily soiled areas to lift stubborn deposits. This step ensures thorough cleaning without scratching or damaging delicate components.
Steam Cleaning & Rinsing
We use controlled steam cleaning to safely remove degreaser and dirt. This method is far safer than high-pressure washing, which can force water into electrical components and cause damage.
Thorough Drying
We use compressed air and microfiber towels to completely dry the engine bay, paying special attention to electrical connections, crevices, and hard-to-reach areas where moisture could linger.
Dressing & Protection
We apply UV-resistant dressing to plastic and rubber components, restoring their original appearance and providing protection against sun damage, cracking, and fading. The result is a like-new finish.
Why Our Method is Safe
Professional techniques that protect your vehicle's sensitive components
No High Pressure
We use controlled steam—never high-pressure water that can damage electronics or force water into sealed components.
Protected Electronics
All sensitive electrical components are covered and protected before any cleaning begins.
Engine-Safe Products
Professional degreasers specifically formulated for automotive use—safe for all materials.
Complete Drying

What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from Miami vehicle owners
James Wilson
Coral Gables | 2020 Mustang GT
"I was nervous about having my engine bay cleaned, but Ale explained the entire process and showed me how everything would be protected. My Mustang's engine went from grimy to showroom condition. He even spotted a small oil leak I didn't know about. Absolutely worth it for any car enthusiast."
Patricia Chen
Miami Beach | 2019 Mercedes E-Class
"I was selling my Mercedes and the dealer said a clean engine bay could add $1,000+ to the trade-in value. Ale did an incredible job for $149—my engine looked brand new. The dealer was impressed and I got exactly the number I wanted. Best return on investment for any detailing service I've done."
Robert Klein
Aventura | 2021 Porsche 911
"I'm very particular about my Porsche and was skeptical about anyone touching the engine bay. Ale's knowledge of high-performance vehicles put me at ease. He used the proper techniques, protected all sensitive components, and the result was flawless. My engine bay is now as pristine as the rest of the car."
