Engine bay cleaning in Fort Collins

Engine bay cleaning.

Degreased, dressed and dried by hand, working carefully around the electronics and the intake. A clean bay is worth having for its own sake, and it makes a new leak obvious the day it starts instead of a season later.

What is in it, and what is not.

What the service covers

  • Electronics and the intake covered firstAlternator, fuse box, coils and the intake mouth are protected before any liquid appears.
  • Degreased by hand, low pressureWorked with brushes rather than blasted. A pressure washer in a bay is how connectors fill with water.
  • Plastic covers, hoses and the loomThe parts you actually see when the hood is up, cleaned without lifting anything off the engine.
  • Firewall, strut towers and inner fendersThe edges of the bay hold the most build-up and get skipped the most often.
  • Underside of the hood and the sealsIncluding the insulation pad, worked gently, because a soaked pad sags and never fully dries.
  • Dried and dressedBlown out and dried by hand, then plastics dressed to a low sheen instead of left wet-looking.

Not in this one

  • Anything mechanicalNothing is opened, unbolted, topped up or adjusted. We clean the bay, we do not work on it.
  • Steam or high-pressure washingIt is faster and it is how water gets where it should not be. We do not do it.
  • Diagnosing a leakA clean bay makes the next leak obvious. Finding out why it leaks is a mechanic's job.
  • Bays with a known active leak or exposed wiringWe will look first. If cleaning it would make something worse, we say so and stop.
  • The rest of the carUnder the hood is booked on its own. Paint and cabin are their own services. Full detail
CodeHMD-75 FinishGunmetal SectionTime and cost

How long it takes, and what it costs.

How long
Told to you on the phone A bay cleaned every year and a bay that has never been touched in a hundred thousand miles are different appointments.
What it costs
No price list How much is in there decides the work, and nobody can see that from a phone call without a photo.
What decides it
Oil film, dust, age, access A tightly packed modern bay takes longer than an open one with the same amount of grime in it.
Who it is for
The car being sold, or kept properly A buyer opens the hood first, and an owner who keeps the bay clean sees a new leak the week it starts.
