WTK where sells shock oil.
I have a pressure washer and a compressor and can do my stuff at home. Not paying $150 for an underwash especially when my vehicle does only highway run

Most Auto Parts places should sell it. It's not much, somewhere between $35-$50 i think. Paid $40 for mine.
Yeah, it cost like $50 for Shock Oil treatment, $70 for underwash, & $50 for engine wash at most stations.... That's like.............. $170!!!!!!!!!!!! When you can DIY - Purple Blaster or any other good engine degreaser for about $40, Shock oil for about $40, & if you are cleaning the engine you might need a sponge or so.......... So that's like $90 maximum. & those bottles lasting a while, depending on how much you use, it can last like 4-5 washes............
$90 as compared to $850!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i rather do it myself as well....... Recently washed 3 engines using Unipets degreaser for $30. & the bottle still has enough for 1 more engine. Used the sponge to scrub it. Then washed it out.
After it dried, used Armour all & a sponge to do all the hoses, rubber parts etc.............
As for the underwashing, i don't have a pressure washer, but i put the hose on & spray down under the car, i actually lie on the ground & do it, lol........... Then when it dries, put the shock oil in a spray bottle & spray under the car, all the rubbers etc.................
