Had a carbon clean done on my car today and I’m really impressed with the service. The whole process was explained clearly from start to finish, so I knew exactly what was being done and why.

The car already feels smoother to drive and more responsive.

Really clean setup, well organised, and great customer service. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to improve their engine performance and look after their car properly. I’ll 100% be back again in the future

A fantastic service from an excellent company.
After 150,000 miles my BMW was running a bit rough. The engine clean has the straight six running as smooth as butter.
I could not be happier.

Leon and Steve was very informative and answered any questions or concerns that I had especially DPF related. It has given me the necessary information on how best to pro-long the life of the DPF and hopefully prevent any likely costly repairs in the future. I would highly recommend!

FAQs On Carbon Cleaning

What is engine carbon cleaning?

It is a process that removes carbon build-up from inside the engine, including turbo, combustion areas, injector tips, pistons, cylinders and cats. Carbon deposits form over time and can affect performance, fuel efficiency and emissions.

What causes carbon build-up in an engine?

Carbon build-up is caused by incomplete combustion, short journeys, stop-start driving and modern emissions systems. It’s common in both petrol and diesel engines, particularly those used mainly for urban or low-speed driving.

What are the signs my engine needs a carbon clean?

Common signs include reduced performance, sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, rough idling, warning lights and increased emissions. Some drivers also notice hesitation or flat spots when driving.

Does engine carbon cleaning improve fuel economy?

Many drivers notice improved fuel economy after carbon cleaning due to more efficient combustion and improved airflow. Results vary depending on driving style and the condition of the engine.

Can engine carbon cleaning help with emissions problems?

Yes, removing carbon deposits can help reduce exhaust emissions and may assist vehicles that are close to emissions limits. It is often used as part of an emissions or MOT preparation process.

Is engine carbon cleaning suitable for petrol vehicles?

Yes this type of cleaning is suitable for petrol, diesel, LPG, hybrid or any other hydrocarbon-based engine such as methane.

How often should engine carbon cleaning be done?

There is no fixed interval, but many vehicles benefit from a clean every 20,000–25,000 miles, or when symptoms of carbon build-up appear.
