Services and Pricing

‘Our Services are IMI Certified and Which? Trusted Trader Approved. We provide a mobile service across the East Midlands Counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, plus Cambridgeshire.’

Live Data Diagnostic Consultation

A live data diagnostic session of the vehicle with a live walk-through and explanation.

Ideal for engine management lights, DPF issues, limp mode issues and other dashboard lights, identifying underlying faults you may not be aware of.

Typically the diagnostic also includes other areas of the vehicle such as air conditioning, brakes, etc.

A diagnostic consultation includes:
– Initial code check, documented and emailed to you where relevant.
– Clearing the codes and then monitoring the reappearance of codes/faults and documenting when and in what pattern they reoccur.
– Live data monitoring to look at all available engine data including EGR movement and gas flow, DPF data, injector data, etc. This allows us to diagnose and identify issues where an engine code may not have been logged, e.g. faulty thermostat or failing (but not yet failed) sensor.
⏱️ Typically a minimum of 30 minutes (depending on the complexity of the issues encountered).

🧰 Multiple genuine licensed and up-to-date diagnostics equipment are used. Emailed reports are dependent on the capabilities of the diagnostic tool used for best diagnosis.

From £50 per vehicle

Engine Carbon Clean

Get your vehicle diagnosed and then running smooth, quiet, economical and emissions friendly again.

Suitable for all fossil fuel combustion engines whether petrol, diesel, LPG, hybrid or any other hydrocarbon such as methane, etc.

INCLUDES the full diagnostic consultation as detailed above (where applicable).

⏱️ Typically takes a minimum of one hour from arrival to departure (plus 50 minutes for each additional vehicle). Clean length varies depending upon the complexity of the vehicle intake system and the level of buildup present and/or any pre-existing issues with the vehicle.

Prices quoted are for vehicles up to 12-litre engine size – for vehicles/engines over 12 litres in size contact us for scheduling and prices.

£109 for one vehicle
£100 each for two vehicles at the same time and place
£90 each for three or more vehicles at the same time and place

DPF Investigation and Clean

An advanced DPF cleaning and diagnostics service.
1) Diagnose the issue, Identify any underlying cause of a failure to regenerate 2) perform an advanced DPF clean (if required). This is a LAST RESORT option.
Most DPF issues DON'T require a DPF Clean - the vast majority require the underlying cause of the issue (sensor, thermostat, glow plug, component) diagnosing, replacing and then natural regeneration will reoccur.
N.B. Please note that 'forced' regenerations are typically not a solution to DPF issues, hence we do not perform them.
⏱️ Typically takes a minimum of 90 minutes and up to 3 hours from arrival to departure.

❗ Not all vehicles are suitable for working on at the roadside depending upon the layout of the DPF pipework. Arrangements may need to be made to perform the service at a garage of your choice.

From £50-229 per vehicle (depending if the clean is required).

Adrian is a nice bloke who has done a diagnostic and very effective engine carbon clean. Since having the service done on my 2016 116D with 54000 miles on the clock. The car starts even in the... freezing cold much better as well in comparison to how it has been on days even considered warmer than the current freezing temperatures before it was done, and runs so much better and doesn’t feel sluggish as it has been doing especially when warming up on colder days. The tank range seems to be better as well since doing the service and overall I am easily pleased in the service provided by Adrian. He’s quite knowledgeable on what he was doing and expressed any questions or concerns I had very clearly. Definitely worth having the service done.read more

Been using Adrian for 5/6 years now for regular engine cleaning as part of my general vehicle maintenance. Started after having issues with loss of performance and reduced fuel economy on a previous... vehicle. I saw his advert on social media and thought I’d give it a go as a last resort before potentially getting rid of the car. The difference after the clean was very noticeable. Performance was restored, with a smoother, quieter running engine, with more powerful acceleration and greatly increased fuel economy that in itself paid for the clean. As a result I kept the car for another two years. Dealing with Adrian is always a pleasure. He’s always approachable and accommodating. Very professional and knowledgeable. He fully explains what he’s doing and how this benefits your vehicle in an easy to understand way. I can fully recommend Adrian and will carry on using him in the future.read more

Adrian was amazing from start to finish. Great communication from the start with prompt and friendly responses. Gave very clear and concise information and made sure that I had a full understanding... of what to expect. Managed to get me booked in for the same week which was a bonus. On the day, Adrian was prompt and on time, talked me through the process and we even shared a tale or 2 whilst we was waiting for the cleaning process to complete. An absolute pleasure of a guy to have and a fantastic service. Engine is now a lot smoother and quieter, cold starts in the mornings are no longer an issue. Very impressed. Thank you Adrian and will be sure to recommend you to friends and family.read more

Adrian came and did a Carbon Clean on our Jeep Cherokee 2.8crd. Excellent service from start to finish and Adrian was very open and honest about what a Carbon Clean can and cannot achieve. Well the... Jeep now runs much smoother and quieter. We had a slight misfire upon first start up which has now resolved itself since the clean, and as part of the service we got a full vehicle diagnostic using Adrian’s modern equipment. Excellent convenient service which comes to you and will definitely use again. Thank you 10/10.read more

Had Adrian out to look at my car. He kept me up to date on when he was able to arrive. He was knowledgeable on what was happening with my car. I had a fault on the car he found what the fault was and... pointed me in the correct route to get it sorted. I had an engine clean and was impressed with the way I was shown all the data of how my car was preforming. After the clean I took my car out it felt smother and quicker on the pick up. I think it’s great value for money friendly guy and will explain everything what is going on with the clean. I would recommend to friends. Thank you for all your help Adrian.read more

This was the second time Adrian has been out to do a carbon clean for us. Booking process was easy, Adrian is responsive to messages and very informative. Primarily had the most recent carbon clean... for preventative/maintenance but have been really impressed with the improvements we have seen in how smooth/quiet the car runs now. Will be sure to ask Adrian to come round to do a clean on our other car as it approaches is warranty expiry.read more

I recently had my van in the garage for a few oil leaks and few other repairs. After repairing my van, the garage recommend my van had a carbon clean due to the build up of carbon in my turbo pipe.... Looked around and came across Adrian Charles of Engine Carbon East Midlands. Adrian who is very professional and very formative with the information / diagnosis of my van. He kept me up to date with everything he was doing and made sure I understood the information he was showing me. Since having the carbon clean I didn’t think I would see much of a difference in the running of my van. Believe I was wrong, maybe just my van but I could see a massive difference in my vans performance. Thank you Adrian.read more

Very happy with the service provided by Adrian today on my Skoda Octavia. Car feels smoother to drive and the engine is far quieter now after the carbon clean. The engine diagnostics and live data is... great to see how your engine is performing, and I know what needs to be replaced to get my car running 100% again. Thanks again Adrian, highly recommend you and your services to anybody looking for diagnostics/carbon clean!*** Update*** I’ve driven around 180 miles in the 5 days since my carbon clean was carried out, the results are even better than I was initially seeing. My car has continued to run smoother than ever before, with the mpg being the biggest difference - I’ve had an increase of 8mpg just driving around town and short journeys on dual carriageways. Looking forward to seeing what difference it’ll make on a longer motorway trip! Once again, thank you Adrian. I will 100% be back to use your services again, I am very much impressed!read more
