My Vw Transporter van 2.0 180 automatic was smoking very dense white/ Grey smoke. After contacting various Garages that could not get to the bottom of the problem, I contacted Adrian from carbon clean. He did a full diagnostic and found that the PDF filer was completely full Suspected with Ash. He carried out a carbon clean and told me I need to find a garage that would remove it and completely was it out. Adrian was very honest as he could have flushed the pdf and left it at that but he said there is no way that would clear it out.Adrian wanted me to contact him after it was done to make sure it had fixed the problem. The vehicle was taken and it was done. Not only did the vehicle have more performance but fuel economy has improved from 25mpg to 34mpg. The vehicle responds to throttle fantastically and the engine runs so smooth. I am so grateful to Adrian and highly recommend his diagnostic and his advice. I will certainly use Adrian in the future. A fantastic experience.

Adrian was very good at his job. He was prompt, knowledgeable and he kept me informed about what was happening before, during and even after he had fixed my car. I would recommend this company to anyone who has a DPF problem. Car is now running great again.

Adrian did a carbon clean on my new-to-me 2011 Skoda. The engine sounded 'chuggy' and the MPG was very low. Adrian suggested the journeys had been short ones contributing to a carbon build up. A carbon clean was carried out with Adrian explaining the process and what outcomes I could expect. The service was professionally and thoroughly completed and I am very pleased with the outcome. My engine runs much smoother and the MPG is already increasing. All costs were explained so no nasty surprises. I am already recommending him to family and friends.

Mercedes charged me £180 to diagnose why the EMS warning light was showing on my dashboard. They conspicuously failed and suggested a new ad blue tank would be required at a cost of £2000 or possibly new sensors at a cost of £500 each Adrian attended at my home with his impressive equipment and diagnosed the fault as probably a poor electrical connection or a blown fuse. An independent Mercedes mechanic found it to be a bad connection !!

Thanks for the review - thought it had to be based on the vehicle diagnostics and the live data on the day - glad you now have it resolved.

Adrian came out to see our two cars a BMW 335d and a Renault Kadjar 1.5dci. The BMW had high fuel consumption, the Renault had a engine warning light and the engine was sooted up. Adrian was able to identify and clean both cars, both cars are now running great and he was able to give us areas on the engine which would next need to be looked into. Adrian's knowledge and explanation of what he was doing and seeing with our cars was second to none. Home service saving having the hassle of getting your car back and forth from a garage which are booked up for week. Would highly recommend getting in touch to anyone with an engine issue or drop in performance of your car. Really good communication with timings and amazing prices for the work carried out Will definitely uses again in the future!

Adrian has done several vehicles for me now. Including my fleet of vans as well as personal cars. His level of detail he works to is incredible. Not only that he is a really genuine and overall great guy who will talk you through each and every stage of what he is doing. This proves he has a real passion for what he does. I wouldn't hesitate recommending him for any diagnostic work, carbon and dpf cleaning etc. Also feel assured if he can't help you or feels the work he will do is wasted he will tell you this prior to visiting! Many companies should use Adrian as an example to customer service. See you again soon for my next van!

I wasn't expecting much to be honest I've had my car for just under a year and done every maintance task possible before adrian's visit my car is already stage 1 remapped but i was making sure that my car was in tiptop condition for him to come an do a carbon clean and an indepth diagnosis session for me. Definitely was not expecting the results I got! So much more responsive and a completely different animal than before the carbon clean. Engine runs so much smoother and quiter plant my right foot and the car is a missile!! Massive improvement and id definitely recommend anyone to him. If your looking for a genuine honest company to come an give you honest answers or tell you specifically what codes you have stored an give you the best advice this is your guy! Thanks again mate really appreciate today
