I had my car Carbon Cleaned by Adrian and I cannot recommend this highly enough. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything about the process so you know exactly what is going on. The process has made such a difference to my car in terms of the smoothness and the power. Like the car is brand new. Thanks Adrian for the great job you did will be recommending this to everyone!!

The whole process right from the enquiry stage up to actually having to carbon clean process was excellent. Really good communication and Adrian arrived on time. During the clean Adrian explained each of the steps and showed the processes happening and the live data as it was happening. As for the results, Well, surprisingly it feels a LOT different. Lots more low end power and smoother through the whole rev range. Its lost that little jerking action when letting off the accelerator too. Time will tell on the MPG. Certainly a returning customer when the time arrives.

I contacted Adrian and explained the issues I had with my car. This could of been a number of things going on with it as the engine management light came on and the car was in and out of limp mode. I was informed it was the DPF by another party, but this was not the case. However, Adrian booked me in and I was sorted the flowing day. He ran the diagnostics and the fault was with the EGR Valve and not the DPF. Whilst he was here he also gave the engine a clean through (as he deemed it safe to do so). Upon arrival Adrian presents himself in a very professional manner. Nice clean and tidy van, uniform etc. He keeps your car protected from damage throughout the duration he is here by covering over or around the engine bay. After he is done, a full diagnostics report is sent to you for your reference. I now can go with confidence to get my car fixed with the issues that have been brought up through the diagnostics. Thank you Adrian for your service.

I've had a carbon clean done on my Mercedes C350 CDI twice now; once 18 months ago and once this month (June 2020). I put about 15k miles on the car each year and the difference in the engine after having this done is profound: a smooth startup with no shaking or labour, a quieter and effortless acceleration, and a noticeable improvement in fuel efficiency. Adrian isn't just a technician; he's a knowledgeable and approachable professional. I trust his opinion and the quality of his work. His understanding of my car is a massive reassurance and for anyone who likes to geek out, the level of data he presents on the car's performance and health is incredibly detailed. I'd strongly encourage you to make a carbon clean part of your servicing schedule. Great value and great service carried out by a brilliant professional. It's a no-brainer.

I must compliment Adrian on his services he provided me. From our first PM to meeting face to face he was alway informative and helpful. His knowledge of his job was second to none. Always kept me upto date and explained what he was doing. He has now done 3 of our vehicles all of which are running and performing better. I would definitely recommend his services to my friends and family.

Adrian was very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process, explaining what was happening and what the carbon clean would and would not affect. I learned quite a few things I didn't know about my own car even after 6 years of ownership, he really knows his stuff. The car has been transformed, previously hesitant and occasionally downright sluggish, it's now very responsive and even sounds better to boot. I would not hesitate to recommend Adrian, and have already done so to a number of friends!

Adrian turned up promptly and set straight to work, good diagnostic which highlights any potential issues is done before hand. Which is always good to check for underlying problems. Car is much quieter, smoother with acceleration and generally feels a different car. 85K over 15 years, I definitely think the treatment has done some good for the car. Adrian is also very informative, giving lots of detailed information on the process. Well recommended!

Initially found them on a Facebook add after looking at articles and forums regarding carbon cleaning my car. After hearing vastly different reviews from people that had had it done with various companies, I decided to message a few to see what the science behind it was. Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands were the only one that explained what the process will and won’t clean and the science behind it. Very professional throughout the process, from the initial inquiry, right down to handing me the keys back. Adhering to social distancing at all times by disinfecting anything that I would have to come in contact with. The car itself is much smoother, there’s less judder in starting it up.
