Alfa Romeo Gt Carbon Clean

From the first contact to completion of the carbon clean I can only describe my experience as totally professional. Adrian explained each part of the process and answered any questions I had. I was confident during the process that I had made the correct decision to use Adrian. Even partway through I noticed a noise reduction from the engine and have certainly noticed an improved engine response when accelerating. I was particularly impressed with all the information given by text/messenger prior to my appointment which was honest and comprehensive. In addition to the clean, I was provided with a printout of the diagnostic part of the process which is very helpful. Adrian is professional and extremely knowledgeable and I would recommend his services without reservation.

Second time using carbon clean East Midlands. Fantastic service as I’ve come to expect

This is my second time asking Adrian to clean a vehicle. My first clean was on an older transit can and the difference was noticeable. I expected the second clean to be less effective as the vehicle is newer and has lower miles. I have been pleasantly surprised. The car is a lot smoother, no gentle shake In the car at idle any more, much smoother under acceleration and quieter. Time will tell if I get better MPG, but the driving experience is transformed. Adrians live diagnostics are also very helpful, it’s good to know where I stand with the vehicle and what to expect in the coming months. I will be a return customer again, as I can definitely see the value and benefits in having carbon cleaning with diagnostics as part of my maintenance schedule. Thanks Adrian 👍🏻

I have a 17 yr old Vauxhall Corsa. The carbon clean done absolute wonders to my car! Before it used to shake at idle and the engine was very loud. After performing the service(which was very cool to watch actually) the engine was much quieter. The acceleration was more responsive and smooth as well, which I didn't expect. Adrian was very professional and polite and even showed me how it all worked! The diagnostic data is interesting too. Adrian you're doing amazing work! Highly recommended! I will use again in the future.

I have a BWM with 72,000 miles. I had read about engine carbon clean and from my first phone call, Adrian gave me a detailed explanation of what would be done. When he arrived at my home he looked the part very smart after the work was complete and he gave me a written report. He was very knowledgeable and professional, my BMW drives better and is quieter. I am very pleased I have had the work done and would not hesitate to use them again. One word - brilliant

Volvo XC90 carbon clean success

I just want to leave this with you in the hope that other people realise the massive benefits of carbon cleaning. I have a XC 90 wonderful car! It developed a very annoying problematic limp mode whenever you try to accelerate hard. Brought up over boost fault codes. I change the boost pressure sensor fault remained. Adrian came after a very carefully explaining what can and cannot be achieved with carbon cleaning. He spent over an hour reading the diagnostics of my car and carbon cleaning the engine and fuel delivery systems. Very very knowledgeable gentlemen! After cleaning the engine sounded completely different, it revved faster and straightaway you could hear a crisp note in the engine. I went for a drive and there was obviously so much carbon that have been removed from the engine the ECU struggled initially to regulate the air to fuel mixture. After a few miles the results were outstanding! I think Adrian found about 50 of my missing ponies!!!! The fault cleared and the car is like it was 100,000 miles ago! I will be doing this every 10,000 miles now. It pays for itself! Cannot recommend this company high enough. Superb excellent polite punctual service!
