Looking for professional engine bay cleaning in Reno? Our mobile detailing team delivers precision cleaning and restoration to keep your engine running and looking its best.
In Reno, where desert dust, road grime, and seasonal weather can quickly take a toll on your vehicle, many car owners focus on exterior washes and interior detailing—but the engine bay often gets overlooked. This hidden space is the heart of your vehicle, and neglecting it can lead to performance issues, overheating, and reduced resale value.
At Hansen’s Mobile Detailing, we specialize in professional engine bay cleaning in Reno, NV, offering a mobile service that helps restore the look, feel, and function of your engine—right from your driveway. Whether you’re prepping for a car show, selling your vehicle, or just giving your car the care it deserves, our engine detailing service delivers impressive results you can see and feel.
If you’re wondering why engine bay detailing is necessary, here are a few problems our Reno clients face before calling us:
Oil and grease buildup causes sticky components and can accelerate wear.
Dust and debris in electrical connectors can lead to poor performance or shorts.
Corrosion and oxidation may develop on aluminum and metal parts if not addressed.
Overheating can be aggravated by poor airflow from accumulated gunk and grime.
Poor resale value when potential buyers or dealers see a neglected engine bay.
Each of these issues not only impacts your vehicle’s performance and longevity but also hurts its curb appeal and resale potential. The solution? A professional engine bay detail service tailored to Reno’s environment.
We don’t just rinse and wipe—we restore. At Hansen’s Mobile Detailing, we use a precise, step-by-step process that ensures a spotless and protected engine compartment:
We start with a full visual inspection to assess the level of contamination, oil buildup, and the condition of wires and components. This allows us to customize our approach based on your engine bay’s needs.
To prevent water intrusion or electrical issues, we carefully cover exposed air filters, alternators, fuses, sensors, and electrical connectors with plastic sheeting or waterproof covers.
Using premium, non-corrosive degreasers designed for automotive detailing, we spray the engine bay to break down thick oil, road grime, and grease. This powerful formula is safe for plastic, rubber, metal, and painted components.
We use a variety of soft-bristled brushes to agitate dirt in hard-to-reach areas like under hoses, around engine covers, and in tight corners. This step is crucial for lifting embedded contaminants.
After thoroughly cleaning, we use a controlled, low-pressure rinse to avoid soaking sensitive components. Next, we air-dry the engine bay with a professional blower to ensure no water is left behind in crevices.
We finish by applying a UV-protectant dressing to plastics, hoses, and rubber trims. This not only brings back a clean, satin-like finish but also protects against cracking, fading, and drying out under the Nevada sun.

It can if you’re not careful. But we are very careful when working on a customer’s engine. We use just enough water to rinse out the cleaner and dirt. We cover up sensitive areas before starting the process.
Unfortunately, if the oil or grease is too heavy, we won’t be able to clean it, we are unable to reach some of those small crannies where the dirt is stuck. We mainly focus on the top surface of the engine bay.
Depending on size and condition, it would take approximately about 1 hour to finish.
