Reviews For our Engine Carbon Cleaning Services
Very knowledgeable on issues with electrical problems with my car.
Arrived on time and completed the work as you would expect from a good reliable company.
He set up within 5 minutes and went on to the diagnostics and talked me through what was coming up after a reset all was clear. It took about 1 hour in total great job well happy would definitely recommend Adrian well mannered gentleman.
Leon has great knowledge! Would recommend!
Will use in future!
What really sets them apart is the comprehensive diagnostic work they carry out as part of the service. On two of my cars, the diagnostics highlighted a couple of underlying issues that I was completely unaware of. Because these were caught early, I was able to get them resolved alongside the carbon clean, which has made a massive difference to the overall performance.
All three cars now idle more quietly, feel sharper, and pull much more smoothly. It’s rare to find a service that combines deep technical knowledge with such tangible results. Professional, thorough, and highly recommended!"
Excellent service, Adrian turned up on time, had the carbon clean and my car was diagnosed with a DPF issue so had a follow up appointment by Leon to sort out the issue and as I said before the car is much improved MPG seems back to normal and the car is running great.
Many thanks ????????
- A dirty turbo which we can help clean up with our Engine Carbon Clean service.
- b) a mechanical/electrical issue from an actuator, N75 valve, vacuum pipe, seal or bearing amongst others which we can often identify with our live data diagnosis (included in our Engine Carbon Clean service).
If the issue is caught early enough then there is a much higher success rate with an Engine Carbon Clean. If left for a long time then the chance of success starts to fall.
Performing Regular Engine Carbon Cleaning helps stop this issue occurring.

Carbon Cleaning FAQs
Got a question about our Carbon Cleaning service? We’ve answered some of the most common questions we get from vehicle owners across the UK. From how often to book a carbon clean to what results you can expect, here’s everything you need to know before your appointment.
What does an Engine Carbon Clean do?
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.
Can you carbon clean a petrol engine?
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.
What are signs of carbon build up?
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.
When should you Engine Carbon Clean?
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. Most people are coming back for repeats approximately every 15-20k miles based on driving style, journey length and fuel quality.
Does Carbon Engine Cleaning actually work?
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.
