Adrian arrived promptly and fully explained the service he provided and what can be expected from a Carbon Clean. My 1.8 TDCI C-max runs much smoother now and fells more energetic on the road. Another advantage with the service is I got a full diagnostic of my car and it was found a diesel injector was misfiring and required replacing. After using the service for the first time, I will definitely use Adrian again in the future. 10/10.

First time booking with Adrian after seeing his YouTube videos. Kept me informed of his arrival time and showed be everything during the booking whilst running the diagnostics on the car. Carried out a carbon clean too, which I can notice the difference already after taking it out for a drive. Runs a lot smoother. Impressed with Adrian and will be booking again in the future. Highly recommended.

Adrian from Carbon Clean came this morning to help with my rather sluggish VW T4 camper, to be honest after two years of driving all over the uk I was just used to her being slow and underpowered and just thought that’s how they all are . I only booked the clean as part of her service routine as I like to keep all my vehicles in tip top condition . All I can say is WOW what an amazing transformation, she pulls like she’s had a new engine fitted, engine noise is greatly reduced and she seems much quieter . Adrian is a pleasure to do business with , a very professional and knowledgeable person. I certainly will be recommending him and his firm to all my friends. Thanks again.

Mitsubishi L200 Engine Carbon Clean

This is the third vehicle I’ve owned that Adrian has performed the carbon clean on. We recently bought a low mileage L200 which had been doing generally short runs. It was sluggish, not very responsive in the throttle and the tick over was fluctuating. Following the clean and a short 10 mile drive it’s like a different vehicle. Much smoother on pulling away, engine is noticeably smoother running in general and throttle response is noticeably crisper… I’m not surprised as I found this on my two previous vehicles too. Adrian is thorough, very knowledgeable and professional. I can highly recommend him and have no hesitation in doing so.

Adrian promptly arrived on time. He kept me updated at all times, very knowledgable and walked me through the whole process and kept me apprised throughout the whole process even showing me the diagnostics on his computer so I could clearly see what was happening. Post carbon clean my 2005 Mercedes C220 diesel, drove markedly smoother and quieter. Fuel economy also is better. Very impressed, and would recommend highly.

What a very knowledgeable man about his business and how professional he was from the first text I sent enquiring about a Carbon clean on a BMW I had just purchased (which I knew little about) on the day of appointment he was early and straight away I could tell he was very professional in his manner. I'm more confident in my car's ability to be reliable because of Adrian and his service...my car is running perfect for an 11 year old car he explained every detail of the process From diagnostic and fault codes explanation and Carbon treatment...he made me clear on a couple on underlying problems that I didn't know about because of no light's on the dash to make me aware so I've had them looked at by a professional garage for my own piece of mind and the great advice from Adrian ....his service is 5 stars for a reason and you won't get a better service I can assure you because I will be using this service again just because I know what I'm getting..The information and knowledge and professionalism for your car's health is worth the £99 alone ..top man

Had Adrian recommended to me by my local garage after an intermittent fault kept putting my 520d into restricted mode. He arrived ahead of schedule and after a quick chat got straight to work. Unlike many garages where your car disappears out of sight and a few hours later your given it back with a very large bill not knowing what they've done Adrian was more than happy to talk me through everything he was doing and answered any questions I put to him. The result after the clean is much better throttle response and the engine sounds much smoother and quieter. Time will tell whether the mpg figures are restored to nearer manufacturers claims but Adrian was right about everything else so pretty confident. Highly recommend this company and will be using again when needed.
