Default Engine detailing

Need to find a good place to have the engine detailed in the houston / katy area..

i plan on degreasing the bottom parts of the car to try to find a leak, but the rest of the engine needs to be cleaned also we can start taking care of any issues that surface after having a clean motor to work with..

looking for suggestions on a location that does a good job..

thanks.

you can do it yourself.. Are you afraid to spray water on your motor?

they make foam stuff that you spray on and rinse off. or if you are ballsy enough cover up delicate electronics and steam pressure wash it.
