Adrian was superb he diagnosed every aspect of my engine and went through it in detail. My BMW E46 M3 only had one fault with an exhaust sensor. When the clean was done it sounded better than before and before was good I have noticed significant improvement. To say the least Adrian is one of the most knowledgeable people I have met. He could tell that it was running better by just listening to the exhaust note. Thank you Adrian, certainly use your expertise again. 5 Star in every way.

Just had my car carbon cleaned by Adrian in preparation for the MOT, such a lovely knowledgeable chap. Straight to the point and went through every step of the process as he went through it. I've drove my car for around 30 minutes after the clean and instantly can tell a difference, its quieter, smoother, power delivery is a lot smoother. Well worth the money! For a 19 year old car, it had a couple of minor faults, none mechanical, and he cleaned the fault codes up for me. All in all 10/10 service, highly recommended!

Contacted Adrian online to book a engine carbon clean and a vehicle diagnostic, Adrian was quick to contact me , he explained about his services and how my vehicle would benefit from them, i told him i wished to book with him and within a few minutes i had a booking date and time. Adrian contacted me the day before the booking to confirm all was OK to go ahead the following day. On the day Adrian was at my address at exactly the time he had arranged, he was very good at explaining the vehicle diagnostics to me and during the clean he explained to me how the process works and also some of the ways the engine works in relation to the EGR and DPF, which to me was useful to know. The car is noticeably smoother to drive and quieter as a result. Adrian is friendly and professional and i would definitely recommend his services to others.

Thanks for the in depth review Philip. Always happy to spend the time showing you all the diagnostic live data and especially explaining how EGRs and DPFs work including all the important pre-requisites for regeneration. All important information for diesel owners that you are never told when purchasing. Glad to help you with your Volvo.

I arranged for Adrian to come and carbon clean my engine. His customer facing skills are excellent, he talked me through each stage of the process and was very informative. My engine is a lot "crisper" and I shall be interested to see my mpg in the future. I would highly recommend him.

Booked Adrian in to run diagnostics and a carbon clean on both of my vehicles after being impressed by other reviews. Despite being initially skeptical of the effectiveness they clean would have I wanted the diagnostic side as well as I had just purchased a 13 year old BMW 1 series which had an intermittent smoking issue. Our other vehicle was a diesel Picasso used on short journeys. Adrian was prompt, personable and extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his diagnostics. Long story short here I am a week later the BMW accelerates and runs almost like a new car rather than an old one and the clean on the Picasso has totally eliminated a whirring sound on idle. Finally best of all I have had no smoke at all since the clean. It’s far exceeded my expectations. I’m not going to claim I’m getting 10 mpg extra from a 13 year old petrol car as I’m not but it’s an absolute joy to drive now and so quiet. Will definitely recommend Adrian to friends and will use him again on my next used purchase
