Why Engine Bay Detailing Matters
A clean engine bay is not just about aesthetics — it is about function and safety. Accumulated grease, oil, and road grime can mask fluid leaks, corrode electrical connections, and trap heat. At Black Horse Auto, our Engine Bay Cleaning add-on ($100) removes years of buildup so you can spot potential problems early and keep your engine running at its best.
Safe Engine Cleaning Techniques
Engine cleaning requires care to avoid damaging sensitive electronics, intake openings, and exposed wiring. Dero Essaie uses controlled steam and degreasing agents — never high-pressure water directly on electrical components. We protect the alternator, fuse box, and air intake before cleaning, and we finish with a dressing that restores factory-fresh appearance to plastic and rubber components.
When to Schedule Engine Bay Detailing
Black Horse Auto recommends engine bay cleaning at least once a year, or before any vehicle inspection or sale. A clean engine bay signals that a vehicle has been well-maintained, which translates to higher resale value and buyer confidence. Add engine bay cleaning to any Signature Detail for a comprehensive top-to-bottom treatment.
