Engine Bay Cleaning
Pop the hood with pride. A careful clean for buyers, enthusiasts and anyone tired of the dust.
Careful cleaning under the hood
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.
