What's the difference between engine cleaning and engine detailing?

Engine detailing is more thorough than basic cleaning—we carefully degrease all surfaces, detail around components, and finish with proper dressing for a showroom-quality appearance, not just surface-level cleaning.

How long does engine detailing take in Gilroy?

Engine detailing typically takes 2-3 hours for a thorough job. We work carefully around sensitive components and take time to properly dress all plastics and hoses. By appointment Monday-Saturday.

Will engine detailing void my warranty?

No, professional engine detailing won't void your warranty. We use safe methods that avoid pressure washing electronics or flooding sensitive areas—just careful hand cleaning and degreasing.

Do you serve San Jose for engine detailing?

Yes, we serve San Jose, Morgan Hill, Gilroy, Hollister, and the entire South Bay region. Our Gilroy shop at 610 Holloway Rd is about 30 minutes from downtown San Jose via Highway 101.
