Excellent Carbon Cleaning Service – Real Results
Customer Service

I had my 2016 Ford S‑Max 2.0 TDCi carbon cleaned, and the difference has been impressive. My MPG has gone from around 41 to 45, which I honestly didn’t expect, but the improvement is real. The engine also feels a touch smoother on acceleration, especially when pulling away or overtaking. Professional service, clear communication, and results that genuinely make a difference. Highly recommended.

Amazing service, very friendly and professional. Adrian explained everything throughout the process; he showed me all the results in real time as they were happening. He knows exactly what he's talking about and explains things perfectly. I would highly recommend F5 to anyone considering this service. Cars running really smoothly after the clean and definitely feels more responsive. Worth every penny!

Carbon clean 5*
Had a carbon clean on my d5 Volvo by Adrian and can’t thank him enough for fitting me in so quickly when I contacted him , I was spoken through the whole process before he arrived and when he arrived for my reassurance and what I received was a faultless experience from Adrian , I cannot recommend enough 5 stars all day long , I wouldn’t dream to go elsewhere in the future

I have used F5 Engine Carbon & DPF Clean a number of times in the past and tend to get a clean done whenever I purchase a new vehicle. Adrian provides an excellent service, with superb communication and great advice. The clean makes a real difference to how the car drives. I will continue to contact Adrian when I get new cars in the future.

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. There was no need to take the car as they came and did the engine clean at our house. Adrian explained every step of the process, was very polite, and the bill was extremely reasonable. I could not be happier.

Fantastic to deal with, great communications. Did diagnostics and highlighted an issue for me to look in to. The whole job finished within an hour. Truck is now running a lot better and it also looks like I will be getting better fuel consumption. Thanks for the great work, highly recommend.
