Built For Drivers Who Notice
Selling or Trading In
When a buyer or appraiser pops the hood, a clean bay signals a car that's been looked after. It's one of the cheapest ways to make a strong first impression.
After an Ontario Winter
Salt brine gets into the engine bay through the grille and underbody and settles on brackets, clamps and connectors. A spring clean gets it off.
Enthusiasts & Show Prep
Headed to a meet or cruise night? Plastics dressed, metal cleaned and hoses refreshed so the bay matches the rest of the car.
What's In Every Engine Detail
Careful technique, not a pressure washer: covered electronics, the right degreaser, and a finish that lasts.
01Pre-Inspection
We check for exposed wiring, missing covers or leaks that need extra care before we start.
02Electronics Covered
Air intake, alternator, fuse box and exposed sensors are covered before any water goes near them.
03Degrease & Brush
Engine-safe degreaser is given time to work, then brushed into tight spots around hoses, covers and brackets.
04Low-Pressure Rinse
Rinsed by hand at low pressure — never a pressure washer near electronics.
05Air Dry
Compressed air pushes water out of connectors and crevices before anything else is applied.
06Plastic & Hose Dressing
An engine-safe protectant brings back a deep, clean finish on plastics, hoses and rubber.
Road salt doesn't stop at your paint. It gets under the hood too.
Where Salt Ends Up
Every winter, salt brine sprays up through the grille, wheel wells and cowl. It settles on metal brackets, clamps, bolts and electrical connectors, and it keeps working on them long after the snow is gone.
Why A Spring Clean Helps
Cleaning the bay once a year gets the salt and grime off before it builds up, and makes it easier to spot leaks or worn parts early. It's simple upkeep, not just cosmetics.

Common Questions
How much does engine bay detailing cost in Toronto?
Our engine bay detailing starts at $80 for sedans, compacts and most crossovers. Larger trucks, vans and full-size SUVs may add a small amount for the bigger bay, confirmed upfront when you book. See our car detailing price guide for everything else.
Is it safe to clean an engine bay?
Yes, when it's done properly. The key is technique: covering sensitive electronics, using an engine-safe degreaser, rinsing at low pressure only and drying thoroughly afterward. Damage usually comes from DIY pressure washing, which we never do near electronics.
How long does engine bay detailing take?
About 60 minutes for most sedans, around 75 minutes for mid-size SUVs and up to 90 minutes for larger trucks. Careful covering, drying and dressing all take time, and we don't rush them.
How often should I clean my engine bay?
For most GTA drivers, once a year in spring after salt season, plus before you sell or trade in the car. Regular cleaning keeps salt and grime from building up and makes leaks easier to spot.
Does a clean engine bay help when selling a car?
It helps the car make a good impression. Buyers and appraisers often look under the hood, and a clean, dressed bay suggests the car was cared for. It won't hide mechanical problems, but it removes an easy reason for a buyer to doubt the car.
Can you clean my engine bay in a driveway or condo garage?
Yes. We bring our own water tank and generator — completely self-contained — plus degreaser, brushes and an air compressor, and we use very little water. Check your building's rules first if you're in a condo garage. Our condo garage detailing guide covers what to ask.
Will it remove old oil leaks or stains?
Most surface oil and grime comes off cleanly. If there's an active leak, cleaning won't fix the source and the buildup will come back — have a mechanic check it. Very old, baked-on oil can leave light staining even after cleaning.
