Awesome service! Easy scheduling, super friendly guys, the whole thing was great from start to finish. I have a dog who has been shedding fur (and drool) all over my carseats on a daily basis for four years straight. I genuinely didn't believe it would be possible to make the interior of my car look brand new ever again, but Bartlett Detail restored it to mint condition! Thank you guys so much!
Engine bay detail: degreased, cleaned and dressed satin
The bay degreased, agitated, rinsed under control and dressed so it looks as sharp as the paint, without soaking a single connector.
$65 · about 45 minutes · add it to any detail
What the bay actually looks like under there
Engine bays collect a specific kind of filth: road dust baked onto hot metal, oil mist off the valve cover, leaf litter in the cowl, and a film of everything else the car has driven through. None of it washes off with a hose.
We degrease it, agitate the stubborn areas by hand with brushes, rinse under controlled low pressure with the sensitive parts covered, blow it dry, and dress the plastics and hoses satin so nothing looks wet or greasy.
The side effect people appreciate most: once the bay is clean, a new leak shows up the day it starts instead of six months later.
What the $65 covers
- Electronics, intake and battery covered first
- Degreaser worked in and agitated by hand
- Controlled low-pressure rinse
- Blown dry, not left to air dry
- Plastics, hoses and covers dressed satin
- Underside of the hood wiped down
How we keep water out of the wrong places
The order matters more than the products. Covering comes first, every time.
- CoverAlternator, intake, fuse boxes, battery terminals and exposed connectors get sealed off.
- DegreaseDegreaser goes on cool metal, never hot, and gets dwell time instead of being blasted off.
- AgitateBrushes by hand through the gaps, seams and the cowl where dirt actually lives.
- Rinse and dryLow pressure rinse, then compressed air through every gap so nothing sits wet.
- DressSatin dressing on plastics and hoses, wiped back so it does not grab dust.

What customers say
Real Google reviews from Bartlett Mobile Detail customers.
I recently had Bartlett Detail come to my place and detail my car, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results! They managed to completely eliminate a weird smell coming from my A/C vent system, which had been bothering me for a while. Additionally, the interior detailing was top-notch-my car looks and smells brand new! Their attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly service made the entire experience a pleasure. I highly recommend Bartlett Detail for anyone looking to give their car a fresh, clean feel. I'll definitely be calling them again!
I drive Door Dash and spend a LOT of time in my car. It was starting to get a little iffy with the dust and dirt. Connor came to my home and detailed the inside of my vehicle and it is beyond perfect! Everything is glistening and gorgeous and it smells like coconuts and sunshine. I'm now so much more comfortable spending time in my car and I can't speak highly enough of Connor's service. Thanks for making my space feel like a home again!
