Where to get undercarriage washed? Id like to take my car to somewhere that can clean my undercarriage. My car is a 96 so you could imagine how dirty it is but it is more dirty than it should be due to past oil leaks etc power steering leaks and all of that has basically sludged in some spots, not to mention the leaky 10 bolt and seals. Anyone know of a good place? I would do it myself but dont feel like doing it and dont wanna lay under my car at a damn car wash scrubbing it. Thanks for any help.
Im in the DFW.

Go to the coin operated power wash. Spray the worst areas with some engine degreaser. Let it soak for a bit then hit it with high pressure soap and then high pressure rinse. Might have to get down on one knee and angle the power wand under the car, but it is not as bad as laying under the car.

useless to you, not to me, i know there has to be some shops out there that clean undercarriages. another reason i dont wanna go to the car wash is the crack heads that are there and ask you for money lol.

No, bud, I wasnt saying your thread was useless. I was saying my COMMENT was. Sorry for the confusion. Honestly, You are probably best off buying some ramps and going under yourself with a highpressure washer and a snorkle, cuz its gonna get wet under there!

Get a buddy with a truck to bring some drive on ramps and go up to the car wash late at night when no one is up there. Pull the front up and wash underneath, then back on to them and wash underneath.

I cleaned mine for AutoRama back in Feb. I put the car on ramps and cleaned. Its really not too bad once you get under the car and start. I spent a couple of days but I was really trying to get every little spot.
