Thorough Engine Cleaning Services in Kansas City
A deep cleaning of your engine bay to remove the dust, grime and debris.
Your Engine Bay Will Look 10x Better
Whether you just bought your vehicle, plan to sell it, or simply want to give it the care it deserves, your engine bay will look dramatically better once we are finished. A clean engine compartment not only improves the overall appearance of your vehicle (and supposedly adds a few imaginary horsepower), it also makes maintenance easier. You can quickly spot leaks, damaged components, or worn parts when everything is clean and visible.
If you want to take your vehicle even further, check out our paint correction, ceramic coating, or window tint services to elevate the look and protection of your car.
The Engine Cleaning Process
Many customers are nervous about cleaning their engine bay on their own because they worry about damaging something. Without the right tools, products, and experience, it is absolutely possible to cause electrical or mechanical issues. When you bring your vehicle to us, you can trust that we follow a safe, controlled process using proper techniques and equipment.
Inspect the engine bay:
We begin by looking over the entire area to identify anything that needs extra attention or caution.
Cover sensitive components:
Depending on the vehicle, we may cover the battery, intake, exposed wiring, or other sensitive areas.
Spray and agitate:
We apply safe cleaners and use a variety of brushes to loosen dirt, grease, and buildup from every surface.
Dry and remove moisture:
We thoroughly dry the engine bay using towels and compressed air to eliminate water from tight spaces.
Final touch up and plastic dressing:
We detail any areas that need extra cleaning and finish by dressing the plastics for a clean, fresh look.

Engine Cleaning FAQ
How long does this service take?
Most engine bay cleanings take about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the vehicle and the condition of the engine bay. Heavily soiled or neglected areas may require more time.
Do you use water on the engine bay?
Yes, but we use it carefully. We do not flood the engine bay. We cover sensitive components, control the water pressure, and use just enough to rinse away dirt and grime safely.
Can you clean up an oil leak or spill?
If your engine bay is heavily covered in oil or grease, we will not be able to service it. Oil soaked areas often require mechanical repair, and the mess is usually deep in places we cannot safely access. Our service is designed for cleaning, not for addressing major oil contamination.
