If you're in the South City area, South City Car Wash on El Camino does a very good steam cleaning job. A bit expensive but you get what you pay for.
I've taken 3 of my past cars there with no regrets.

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.

I was incorrect in my comments above. I talked to the guy who told me about this place, and he said they really do use a steam cleanerpressure washer and some type of solution, so you need to bag up all of your electrical equipment. They do a really good job though. Here is the address if you are still interested:
