Default detailing shop that does engine cleaning?

Hi guys, can you recommend a detail shop that does engine cleaning, especially ones that know how to work with the S2000? There was alot of oil that spilled in the header and the heatshield that needs to be cleaned up. Anyways, I'm just gonna call around and see, also.

thanks for your help!

thanks all for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I live and work in town, so Ben's Auto is kinda difficult. Also, I heard some negative stories about Midas Touch from forumshawaii.

So, I decided to go with Capone's on Queen Street. Nearby, knows exactly what to do with my engine. I was gonna do Tony Autoplex Detailing, but the guy never called me back for appointment.

Anyways, hopefully, this will eliminate the fume once and for all..

I would recommend Detail Magician for the engine bay but they folded or something. I have used them in the past for customer cars, I do detail jobs on the side. I really really really hate engine bay jobs. It's a major PITA. Too much stuff to cover and what not when degreasing and pressure washing. Many problems can arise if you don't know what your doing.

@ Beno's Auto Shop, he will not only stop at cleaning your engine but take apart the rest of your S and clean it with a Q-Tip. He even waxes your engine bay no lie.....
