Totally changed how it drives, Just like a new car. Unbelievable service will recommend to everyone!!

Being a vehicle technician I was sceptical but I kid you not my vehicle ran smoother on acceleration and the slight engine vibration I had has disappeared and no more smoke even bigger PLUS my MPG was outstanding I was getting a lot more to the gallon.

Simply the best regular maintenance for your petrol, diesel, LPG or hybrid vehicle of any age and mileage – identify and resolve issues, restore fuel economy to save money on fuel, restore performance, pass MOT and avoid future repair bills

Our expert and friendly service has been awarded the coveted Which? Trusted Trader of the Month award twice.

Our IMI Certified service is about looking after the overall health of the vehicle, not just turning up to ‘perform a clean’.

Every booking starts with a health check, a diagnostic code scan of the entire vehicle looking for underlying issues (where applicable) and Live data diagnostics throughout to identify issues with injectors, fuel pumps, sensors, etc. which may not be logging errors.

Keeping your engine cleaned on a regular basis helps prevent issues such as DPF issues, MOT emissions failures or sticking turbos.

An Engine Carbon Clean is great at cleaning up the back of a turbo, combustion chamber, injector tips, pistons, cylinders and cats to get a vehicle running smooth, quiet, responsive, economical and emissions friendly again.

A mobile service to properly diagnose, clean and reset a DPF.  Suitable for soot and oil blockages and on a maintenance basis to avoid residual ash accumulation causing regeneration issues.

Yes. All hydrocarbon engines create carbon build up depending on the mileage, driving style, journey length and fuel quality used.

You can clean petrol, diesel, LPG, hybrid or anything else such as methane.  Not just cars and vans, but we also work on boats, tractors, tanks, generators, landfill engines, anything really.

Typical symptoms include a decline in fuel economy, noisier engine, increased vibration, sluggish response and smoke/emissions levels.

As fuel economy and emission targets have got stricter over the years the engine components have been developed and added in order to keep the soot within the vehicle rather than passing it out through the exhaust. This then clogs up EGR valves, inlet manifolds and DPFs.

If you have just bought a vehicle or warranty is due to expire then it is a perfect time to get it checked out and cleaned up.

As part of your regular maintenance plan an ideal time is just prior to a service or MOT to help keep your vehicle running smoothly, quietly, economically and with low emissions.  Prevention is better than cure.

Most people are coming back for repeats approximately every 15-20k miles based on driving style, journey length and fuel quality.

Yes it does and it is very good at what it does as long as the relevant pre-checks are performed to ensure an effective clean and critically it is done by someone who is properly trained, certified, with the right approach and equipment.

An Engine Carbon Clean is great at cleaning up the back of a turbo, combustion chamber, injector tips, pistons, cylinders and cats to get a vehicle running smooth, quiet, responsive, economical and emissions friendly again, but will not clean up cold areas such as EGR valves or inlet manifolds and won’t unblock a DPF.

The only way to clean up these cold areas safely and effectively is a manual approach, e.g. strip and clean of the EGR or ‘walnut blast’ the inlet.

The Engine Carbon Clean is complementary to these manual approaches as they are targeted at different areas.

Cleaning up the combustion chamber cleans up the source of the dirt – this helps minimise future buildup in the EGR and inlet manifold as well as extends the mileage between DPF regenerations.

Why Book Us

A dirty engine has to work harder against the dirt. To do this it uses more fuel, vibrates more causing more noise, shaking and lumpy running and increases emissions eventually causing MOT failure.

The more it shakes the more it will wear parts such as engine mounts, clutches, etc. so combat this before it becomes a problem.

Prevention is better than repair!

A booking with us is essentially a health check and detox for your vehicle.

What We Offer

A fully insured mobile service for all combustion engines running petrol, diesel, LPG, hybrid no matter what age, engine size or mileage.

Outstanding service, very detailed and comprehensive explanation of the process and most definitely worth it

I contacted Adrian after some issues with my car for a few months. Arranging an appointment was easy and coming to me was a great help. He spent the time looking at the diagnostics and explaining what he found, and what he had done to try and rectify it. He left me confident in his assessment and the price he quoted was very reasonable for getting such an expert assessment of the car.

Really happy with the service from Adrian at F5ECC, my car was having issues and running really poorly. I decided to ask for Adrian's help. Adrian moved mountains to squeeze a booking in for me within a couple of days. when he arrived he explained every stage of the process to me in detail showing me all the data on the computer. I now have a car with no check engine light, running so smooth and quiet. More MPG. Just like having a new car. Many thanks Adrian and I will certainly use you again in the future, probably as a pre-service preventative measure. Superb customer service.

An honest man with integrity. Adrian for you who don’t know him.Didn’t oversell me or undersell me, kept it a hundred and gave me very useful information on my cars performance and capabilities.I was also looking at having some work done in regard to walnut blasting. Adrian advised me on the situation and what to look out for. Because of Adrian I was able to avoid someone who was going to sell me a lie and perform a task that would’ve completely ruined the engine.I had two cars booked in and both cars fire like brand new! Considering one had 130K on the clock and the other had over 200K. Because of his service, my car engine light no longer appears (I had this diagnosed twice and found nothing having spent close to £150 for both combined)For those of you who have doubts, I would definitely recommend Adrian at F5ECC. He knows what he’s doing!Reliable. Honest. Value for money.

Had Adrian come out to do a carbon clean on my Nissan 350z. I expected the clean to only have some minor effects, however I was pleasantly surprised. It feels like a completely different car, throttle response it's better, has even regained some horse power that it's lost over the years! Fantastic customer service overall and an insanely knowledgeable person when it comes to diagnostics. 10/10 Recommend!

I can’t recommend Leon highly enough! He came to my house and carried out a full diagnostic on my car after I’d been struggling with a recurring issue for a while. Unlike other mechanics, Leon conducted a thorough analysis and identified the root cause—an intercooler leak at one corner, which was causing issues with the EGR valve.Leon is an absolute expert in his field, with an impressive depth of knowledge and attention to detail. What stood out the most was his excellent communication; he explained every step of the process, ensuring I fully understood what was going on. I felt completely informed and confident in his work.If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, professional, and truly knows their stuff, Leon is your guy. Exceptional service from start to finish!

I traveled from Coventry to have a carbon clean done on my Mercedes C63, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Adrian was fantastic—he completed the job within an hour and provided a detailed diagnostic report. Since the carbon clean, my car sounds sharper, with enhanced pops and crackles, and I’ve even noticed an improvement in fuel efficiency. I highly recommend this service!

I have used Adrian 6 times now on 5 different cars. His service is second to non, professional and clear with the work he does. Always a great result from the Carbon Clean he performs. This time round on my BMW 420d Grancoupe, the engine is so much quieter and smoother at low speeds and picks up so much nicer. Although the car drove nice before, it now drives Great. I would not hesitate to recommend Adrian to my friends and family and often do.
