Cleaning your engine compartment right before selling it is a very cost effective way to sell your car fast and for more money. Potential buyers always look under the hood, even if they have no idea what they’re looking at. But if the compartment is clean it really shows that the owner maintained the vehicle well.
Top Reasons we clean engines:
1) The vehicle is for sale.
2) The vehicle has an oil leak and the mechanic needs it clean to work on it.
3) Someone has left the oil cap off after changing the oil, resulting in an oily mess.
4) The vehicle is an old classic that is under restoration and the owners want the years of gunk steam cleaned off before they start work.
5) You hit a skunk and need the undercarriage steam cleaned to remove the odor.
6) You live on a dusty, gravel road that gets your engine filthy, so we clean it annually.
7) The vehicle is going into a car show.

Cleaning this Subaru WRX STI engine really impressed the potential buyers.

The wash water that comes off your engine is nasty, oily stuff. What happens to that water? We have a specially designed drain basin that collects the water. Then it is pumped through a filter and into an oil/water separator. We have a permit issued from Clean Water Services and are inspected regularly to make sure we’re complying with all regulations.
