Default Any cheap shops in VA that clean engine bays?

My dad just bought my sister a 2001 Civic EX Coupe to commute back and forth from college.. the paint is in excellent shape and interior is also in perfect shape. however the engine bay has like built up dirt and stuff inside from driving it around the construction roads in D.C. Anyone know any cheap places that will like steam clean an engine bay for cheap? I did my own engine bay before on my Eclipse but my dad is afraid i'll fuck something up because it's my sister's car and she doesn't know crap about cars incase it breaks down.

do it yourself, it's really easy, just make sure you cover important electrical components covered w/a plastic bag (ie: altenator, dist., intake filter, etc), spray w/engine cleaner, and rinse off, but don't soak or water log and you'll be fine
