engine bay detailing/cleaning places?

hey guys, I was wondering if there are any recommended places that will clean/detail an engine bay? well not so much "detailing" just a good clean lol...it's for a 2002 wrx and the engine bay is just dirty...just wanted to get it properly cleaned before bringing it to krown to spray the engine bay...
I found one place by Keele/finch for $65...any other places ppl know of that isnt too expensive? $65 seems reasonable i guess provided it's a full clean engine bay lol...I dont want to do it myself since i'm just afraid to put water and soap on something i'm not too familiar with...and it's pretty damn cold outside lol I plan to have my car detailed on the exterior and interior when spring hits...but for now just wanted to get the engine bay clean

Yeah, do it yourself. Its really easy and cheap. All you need is simple green or any other type of degreaser, and a hose.

Total cost = Less than $10

Just cover up important parts like your alternator, intake, etc...

Hey if you want to pay me $65 dollars, I'll do it for ya, LOL.

^^ apart from alternator, air intake opening...i would also cover the battery. and before you start...just check to see there are no loose or naked wire/cable hanging around.
