Why Book Us

‘Diagnose running issues, restore power, performance, fuel economy and lower emissions. It's essentially a health check and detox for your vehicle.’

Our cleaning service helps save money on fuel, provides a smooth, quiet and responsive drive and can help deal with issues such as MOT emissions failures or sticking turbos.

An Engine Carbon Clean will help reduce soot levels entering the EGR/DPF and inlet manifold in future.  This helps reduce the frequency of DPF regeneration – the DPF will last longer and saves fuel with fewer regenerations.

The diagnostics can identify issues that may be causing the symptoms, plus other hidden issues before they become a problem.

See some Examples…

Our service includes a full diagnostic consultation to identify issues that need addressing by the seller or under warranty. 

Avoid running into problems by identifying if you have had your DPF removed for example, failed sensors which may lead to DPF blockages in future and failed components such as catalytic converters, etc.

If everything looks good then get it cleaned up for the road ahead.

See some Examples…

Avoid failure or turn that fail into a pass.

MOT failure or general smoke issues will be down to either a failed or malfunctioning component/sensor (which we can often identify with our diagnostics), thermostat or carbon buildup.

With increased mileage then a dirty combustion chamber causing over fuelling will increase emissions which we can clean up with the Engine Carbon Clean.

See some Examples…

If you are planning a modification or remap then you should get any faults diagnosed and recover lost power first before adding more.

By cleaning it up and get it breathing properly the extra work the turbo has to do post-remap won’t stress the turbo as much. Extra important if you are having a custom map on a rolling road as it is best to map a clean car rather than a dirty one.

See some Examples…

A proper diagnosis is essential to correctly tackle running issues.

If for example you are having DPF issues we can help, quite often just with diagnosing the underlying issue with NO NEED FOR A DPF CLEAN.

Limp mode issues can be due to sticking turbos, sensors or leaks for example.

Sticking turbos can often be resolved with an Engine Carbon Clean.

See some Examples…

A diagnostics is essential to understand why.  Many times the DPF will be struggling or unable to regenerate due to a faulty sensor or component.  In this case no matter how you drive it the DPF will not regenerate and will lead to a blocked DPF.  Once diagnosed the faulty parts can be fixed and regeneration can work again.

If DPF back pressure / soot content is already too high then fixing the underlying issues will still not allow regeneration.  A DPF Clean (unblock) is a last resort option in this case.

See some Examples…

How and why does carbon affect my vehicle?

All combustion engines whether petrol, diesel, LPG, methane, hybrid, new or old, over time gather carbon deposits – it is a natural product of burning fuel.

A dirty engine has to work harder and uses more fuel, vibrates causing noise, shake and lumpy running and increases emissions eventually causing MOT failure. The more it shakes the more it will wear components such as engine mounts, clutches, etc.

An example of buildup present in the inlet pipework of a BMW 320d. This buildup is a combination of oil, grease, water vapour and carbon which has gathered from a combination of short journeys, poor quality fuel (with little/no additives present) and a dirty engine with increased emission levels. Regular engine cleaning would have helped prevent this gathering.

In the past cars just dumped a lot of this carbon out through the exhaust, but as fuel economy and emission targets have got stricter over the years engine components have added in order to keep the soot within the vehicle rather than passing it out through the exhaust.

Fantastic service ! Second to none, we contacted Adrian when our Range Rover showed a message saying Exhaust filter full with red warning and engine management light, we thought the DPF may be blocked and might need a forced regen or flush, Adrian came to us the next day and ran a full diagnostic, this was a deep diagnostic check and he went through all fault codes and explained clearly what was happening, he cleared the old codes and found it was a miss match on the service clock (not being reset properly by the dealer) when serviced, thus in turn had cancelled the DPF to regen and as a result it showed Full Exhaust filter, he cleared and reset the service millage and cleared codes (the soot levels were very low so it had regenerated prior) he undertook a full engine carbon clean after sorting the issues and now the car runs like a dream, improved performance and response throughout, absolutely top notch service and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adrian to everyone in need of this service, thank you Adrian.

I highly recommend this procedure . My 2010 Range Rover Sport is smoother ,more responsive and more economical as a result. Adrian is very professional, clean , polite and he will explain exactly what's going on,what gets cleaned and what doesn't. Modest money, very well spent.

Really good service when arriving. Honestly had no idea on what it would do to the car. Having a vxr Astra with a lot of power feeling sluggish and juddering. Had a carbon clean and everything is perfect engine sounds so much smoother. Any sporty/sports cars I'd recommend getting it done

A very professional service provided by Adrian.I contacted him regarding my Volvo V50 1.6 DrivE which over the 18 months of ownership the MPG had slowly decreased from 60 to 52 per tank.Adrian replied promptly to my WhatsApp messages with detail, and made very clear what services they could provide along with very cost effective quotes.Prior to arrival Adrian gave regular updates on his ETA making it easier to manage my schedule.I had an engine diagnostic check and clean carried out, which took just less than an hour to complete both, very efficient.After just one run from Mansfield to Manchester my MPG went from low 50s to high 50s and I felt it had a much greater accelerator response.Great service throughout, I look forward to booking Adrian again for a clean in 20-25,000 miles.

Fantastic service. Kept up to date about time of arrival and was early. Process was smooth and efficient with everything explained in thorough detail. Very pleasant to deal with and was worth every penny for how the car now runs. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Car failed MOT twice, advised by tester to try this otherwise I was looking at just over £1500 to fix and the car wasn’t worth that,Others told me I was wasting my money it will never work…..How wrong they were car was retested and passed.Adrian was so thorough explained everything to me ,He really was the nicest person you could wish to meet,Such an honest, trustworthy and genuinely nice man which seems to be rare in the car repair industry.

After having a warning light on for a few years, I decided to have Adrian come and do me some diagnostics and a carbon clean. He gave me all the information regarding my fault that I needed to now look for a solution. And the carbon clean was an extra bonus. I actually thought my fuel gauge had packed up because of how much slower the needle drops. On top of that the throttle response seems snappier, and the engine sounds quieter. I would very much recommend Adrian's services.

Adrian was very friendly and honest during all communication, attended the appointment on time and once started he discussed the method and showed me all the displayed information. Took around an hour and he cleared all fault codes and completed the engine clean. Would highly recommend, my car is running great again, Thank You!

I had no expectations of resuits prior to booking, as I had watched a programme on TV that suggested it could be of benefit to the car.Adrian arrived early, and was underway with the clean quicker than I could make a cup of tea.Easy process and after it had been completed there is a noticeable difference in engine note, throttle response and smoother drive.For £109 well worth it and in particular the diagnostics- which brought up a couple of things to attend to now, rather than when probelms occur.No hesitation in undertaking this process again.

Hi Adrian, im sorry I didnt get back to you sooner. I was a bit emotional to be honest and so overwhelmed. You are a genius and I can't believe how nice the car feels and the power increase is amazing, the response and acceleration. It has better mileage aswell! I really appreciate your service. To have a 207K mile car honestly feel and drive brand new is hard to believe! You really are a Gent. Thanks for being so honest and I appreciate the full transparency. Bless you always kind Sir 🙏
