Eco-friendly detailing in Cassis
Cassis, its sheer Calanque cliffs and its postcard harbour — but behind the scenery, sea salt and the high-ground mistral wind quietly erode bodywork and exposed engine components.
Why the Cassis car fleet is unique
Cassis combines two silent forms of stress on cars. The first is sea salt: omnipresent at the harbour as well as in the salty mist that rises onto the heights of the calanques, it attacks lenses, bodywork and every exposed engine component, day after day. The second is the road profile: the narrow, winding roads leading to the calanques force a very slow pace and never let the engine reach a sustained operating temperature — which is the most DPF-fouling profile a modern diesel can face. On top of that, the local clientele skews upmarket — Cassis is a premium destination — with German saloons and premium SUVs that demand a matching standard of care. And of course the working vans of the AOC vineyards, whose daily life between the vines and the cellars depends on dependable mechanics. This is why Cassis drivers entrust us with their vehicles: we bring them to our eco-friendly La Ciotat workshop where they receive the care they deserve.

Frequently asked questions in Cassis
- Why do my car's headlights yellow so quickly in Cassis?
- In Cassis, the combined exposure to sea salt — omnipresent at the harbour and in the salty mist rising to the heights of the calanques — and Mediterranean sun creates perfect conditions for rapid oxidation of polycarbonate headlights. Our headlight restoration (from €49 per headlight) restores your visibility and protects your lenses with a 1-year guarantee.
- In Cassis, I drive slowly on the winding calanques roads. Should I worry about my diesel particulate filter?
- Yes: the narrow, winding roads leading to the calanques force very slow driving that never lets your engine reach operating temperature — the most DPF-fouling profile a modern diesel faces. Our hydrogen decarbonization (from €99) removes accumulated carbon and restores engine performance without disassembly.
- What are Bioclean's prices for services in Cassis?
- Our prices are the same across all communes: bio steam cleaning from €59, hydrogen decarbonization from €99, E85 conversion €349 (DREAL homologation included), Stage 1 remapping €349, headlight restoration from €49 per headlight, OBD diagnostic €20 (free if service booked). No VAT (Article 293B, French Tax Code).
