The Service

The part most details skip.

A clean engine bay makes a strong impression on a buyer, and it also makes leaks easier to spot. We protect sensitive components, loosen grime with a degreaser, rinse with care, then dress plastics and hoses for a clean, satin look.

Because the shop is part of TAB Motors, it is also a sensible add-on if the car is already here for service.

How We Work

The order matters.

We follow the same sequence on every Engine Bay Cleaning at our Arlington shop, because skipped prep shows in the finish.

01

Cool and cover

The engine must be cool. Sensitive electrical parts get covered.

02

Degrease

Grease and road grime are loosened with degreaser.

03

Rinse and dry

A careful low-pressure rinse, then a blow-out and wipe-down.

04

Dress

Plastics and hoses are dressed for a clean, satin look.

05

Final inspection and pickup

We check the work under good light, then walk the car with you at pickup.
