⚠️ Treat your cherished vehicle to some TLC.

‘Very happy with the service provided on my 1998 Mercedes SLK230. I am always careful who I use when having work done on my vehicles but all of the positive reviews of F5ECC made my decision to have the engine carbon cleaned by this company. Adrian kept me updated with information at the time of booking the car in and his communication was excellent. He phoned me to let me know an estimated arrival time and arrived at exactly this time! I was very interested in seeing what is done, Adrian talked me through the diagnostic procedure detailing what each code meant sending me copies of stored and current fault codes whilst he was there which I can give to a garage at a later date. He showed me how the carbon clean was done and was honest throughout in that the procedure can work better/outcomes can be more noticeable on some cars more than others, this will depend on how well they have been maintained, mileage, whether used for short journeys. I asked a lot of questions and Adrian answered them thoroughly. Adrian is a top bloke and it is without doubt that he knows his job inside out, I would highly recommend this company to anyone. Thanks Adrian!‘ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Here we have a well kept Mercedes SLK230 (1998 – 46,406 miles) booked in for some TLC with our diagnostic consultation and Engine Carbon Clean.

Initial inspection found no major issues in the engine bay apart from a low level purr from the carbon present.

Initial diagnostics showed a long history of codes from over the years – as usual we provided a PDF documented copy for the owner and cleared those down. The only one to address was an intermittent one from an oxygen sensor.

Live data monitoring showed a surprising amount of data for a 1998 vehicle – all looking good.

‍On with the clean and the engine soon smoothed out and quietened down and by the end it was quiet, smooth and responsive again.

I had a DPF clean which has worked perfectly and got my diesel Rav4 back into perfect driving condition. Steve, the technician was very friendly and talked me through the whole diagnosis and treatment.

Just had my car done by F5ECC. Adrian talked me though how the process works. This is the second Merc I have had done by him in 2020. C250cdi and now a C350e sport. Noticed straight away more mpg. The car felt a lot smoother on acceleration. I was quite shocked at how much quicker and responsive the car was when I put it in sport+. I highly recomend having this done.

Adrian came out and did a carbon clean on my Mercedes CLA45. If you've purchased a used car that's done a good amount of miles then I would highly recommend getting this done. It made all the difference to mine. Throttle response is better the car feels better as it climbs through the gears. Adrian was here for about an hour, was happy to talk through the process and shared diagnostic info straight to my phone. Really helpful and knowledgeable. Owen Moore.

I found this organisation on Google. It had great reviews and the service which I required which was a carbon clean. I found Adrian very helpful and knowledgeable. While he was carrying out the service he explained everything to me and how it works. The car feels better now with it being more responsive and quieter. I would recommend Adrian and his company to friends and family if they required his services. Thanks Adrian hopefully see you again sometime.

This was my first experience with F5 carbon and DPF clean. I was a little desperate as I had been let down twice by a larger franchise company. Mark the technician managed to fit me in at short notice, what a stroke of luck for me I found Mark to be an extremely knowledgeable and professional guy. After running the diagnostic and clearing a few issues he managed to get my DPF working properly and able to do the regeneration process on its own so only charged for the diagnostic even though I had booked for a full DPF cleaning. I cannot recommend F5 enough it's a real pleasure to deal with them. All round excellent service. Thank you guys.

Adrian is a lovely fella, explained the process, carried it out well, clearly done exactly what it needed to do as I blew a load of stuff out the back when I drove it after. Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Steve arrived to give my Jaguar xfs an engine carbon clean. Presently on 107,000 miles. Explained the process and was obviously very knowledgeable about the process and expected outcomes. And he was a thoroughly nice chap. The V6 in the xfs is a quiet, smooth, powerful unit and I was not sure of what improvements I would get. Well, I’m impressed. The power delivery is smoother, the engine even quieter and 6 mpg better to boot. If you want to do one thing to maintain and improve your motor, then this is what you should do.
