It’s easy to forget about the engine bay, most people only see it during an oil change or when something goes wrong. But keeping it clean isn’t just about looks. It makes it easier to catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs.
At Code Auto Spa, we offer mobile and in-shop engine bay cleaning that’s safe, effective, and carefully done. Whether you’re prepping your ride for a sale, a show, or just want to stay ahead on maintenance, we’ve got the tools and experience to clean the visible areas of your engine without causing damage.
Just a heads up, this service covers the accessible top portion of the engine bay only. We don’t clean the undercarriage or areas underneath the engine.
That’s one of the most frequent questions we get. The short answer is no. We only use water where it’s needed and always keep it under control.
We’re extra cautious around sensitive engine components. Covering electrical parts and delicate areas is a routine part of the process. Most modern vehicles even come with plastic covers, which helps make things easier and safer.
You can feel confident knowing your engine is being handled by pros who know exactly what they’re doing.
Delivering the best paint correction results is our goal, but we also focus on providing top-notch customer service. With dozens of 5-star reviews and loyal clients, our reputation speaks for itself. You can read more reviews here.

Paint Correction : Swirls and light scratches can make even a clean car look dull. Our paint correction service cuts through that haze and restores clarity and depth. We bring back the showroom shine without hiding behind wax. This process is perfect for cars that need a deeper refresh beyond basic polishing.
Ceramic Coating : If you’re after real protection, ceramic coating is the way to go. It adds a long-lasting, water-repellent barrier to your paint, helping it stay cleaner and glossier for longer. It also makes regular washing easier by preventing grime from bonding to the surface.
Exterior Detailing : Our full exterior detail includes a hand wash, wheel cleaning, clay bar treatment, and protective sealant. It’s ideal for reviving tired paint or prepping for a special occasion. This service brings back gloss while adding a layer of protection against the elements.
Interior Detailing : From dusty dashboards to stained seats, we get the inside of your vehicle back to looking and smelling fresh. We deep clean fabric, leather, carpet, and more using safe, effective products. The result is a cabin that feels just as good as it looks.
Headlight Restoration : Cloudy headlights? We sand and polish them back to clear so you can see better at night and get that newer look again. Brighter lights also make your car safer and more noticeable on the road

Can you clean oil leaks or spills?
If the oil is light and on the upper part of the engine, yes, we can take care of it. We’re not equipped for deep engine degreasing or heavy mechanical spills, though. For anything more involved, we recommend having it addressed by a mechanic first.
How long does the service take?
Most engine bay details take about 30 to 45 minutes. If the engine bay is especially dirty, it might take a bit longer. We’ll let you know upfront if we think it’ll need extra time.
Do you come to me or do I drop it off?
Both! We’re mobile across Independence and surrounding cities, or you can book an appointment to bring it by our shop. Just choose what’s easiest and we’ll take care of the rest.
