I saw a few places in San Jose that does this, But I think it can be done on your own. Just spray some simple green and hose down the engine bay w/ a garden hose (mist) will do the trick. if you have an aftermarket intake, make sure you cover the air-filter w/ a plastic bag over it.

There is a place in San Jose that specializes in steam cleaning. If you need the info, PM me and I will call the guy who had it done. He bought a 89' Subaru GL and the engine compartment was a mess. He brought it to this place in San Jose. Somehow that put hot steam from under the car, not a spray. It pulled off all of grease and crap from under the hood. His engine compartment now looks like it was when it was brand new. It cost something like $90.

Five.

One to screw in the bulb, and four to share the experience.

I'm not sure of the name of the place but it is located on the corner of the Alameda and Stockton St. near HP Pavillion (San Jose). It'll cost you about $90. I had my 95 4Runner steamed so that I could locate an oil leak. They steamed the engine compartment, put it on a lift and steamed the undercarriage. It was worth it!
