A quick note to say a massive thanks to Adrian for your visit today to service my Mercedes C350 CDI. I’ve ended up driving 120 miles today since the clean was done and it’s a completely different car; it’s no exaggeration to say it feels like new: A sharper throttle, smoother idle and dare I say less thirsty! Your explanations and advice were also very clear and a great help. I’ll be adding an engine clean to my annual service. It’s well worth the price! Thanks again, Sam

Can not recommend the service that Adrian offers enough. Before my appointment the communication was brilliant and every was explained in great detail. On the day if the appointment Adrian talked through what he was going to . He should be the results of the ECU scan and showed me the issues that came up. He then checked I still wanted to go ahead with the engine carbon clean ( which I did). After the clean my car runs a lot smoother , with no hesitation at all. As identified in the scan I will replace the faulty dpf sensor. Great service , highly recommended. Will book again for my wife’s car soon.

Adrian arrived promptly and kept me informed as to his ETA for the booking. He arrived and explained everything in detail about the process and asked me lots of questions around the background of my car and the characteristics. He got to work very quickly and explained all the codes that were flagged during the diagnostics check. I asked about the difference between his service and another type of clean and he explained in great detail the differences. A great service all round, the car runs as smooth as I got it with only 8k on the clock 5 years ago! (now has 99,200k). Adrian gave me some top tips to help improve a few other bits as well with fuel management just to go that bit further and make an even better difference. A trustworthy character who is open, honest and hard working! Strongly recommended!

Engine Carbon Clean and Diagnostic
Customer Service

I was searching online for engine carbon clean and this one stood out for me, i contacted adrian for an appointment to give me car i had knly just purchased a carbon clean. On the day Adrian was fully pleasant, clean and looked the part which is always a good sign, first he done sone checks and done a diagnostic on my VW GOLF. Came up with few errors. Errors was showing Camshaft Sensor and O2 Sensor faults. prior to me buying the vehi from a dealer it came with AA INSPECTION CHECK. But with Adrian's checks he found that they missed 2 vital sensors that ha failed. Having Adrian carry out his work i must say he done a excellent job, Also with his report i sent it to the dealer and they paid for the new sensors to replaced and new cambelt and water pump which saved me £879. Wasn't for Adrian then i wouldn't of known.... anyone need a genuine guy to do this kind of work then use Engine Carbon Clean. Will be a future customer now for all my vehicles i purchase. Top work by Top guy.

The service I received was fantastic , I had my daily driver and my race car cleaned at the same time , the knowledge and professionalism of Adrian was first class , from booking and keeping in touch the day before and on the day to let me know a time of arrival was great , he took he through the process step by step showed me what was being done and explained each step too , the knowledge he had about what he was doing was also first class he explained all the diganostics to me at each point as he went through them and I get them emailed to me which is great , it change in the vehicles after the clean was a lot more than I was expecting not only has my mpg improved but the engine now runs a lot smoother and quieter as a result I was expecting subtle changes but they were more noticeable and prounanced than I expected , really happy with the results and would hesitate to recommend him to anyone

Carbon clean & DPF failing to regenerate
Customer Service

Recently had Adrian to my BMW X5 for a diagnostic & Carbon clean, I can't praise Adrian & his knowledge enough, I was having trouble with the DPF regeneration & loss of power, Adrian advised my glow plugs & control module needed to be replaced, which I got replaced & then Adrian came back to do the carbon Clean & also carry out further diagnostics to make sure no further issues & the DPF was working correctly, he did everything to get the car to regenerate on its own to avoid me paying extra out for a DPF clean, which most companies would take your money & run, I am now getting a much smother drive & gear change, also the MPG has improved very noticeably, I can't praise this company enough nothing was ever to much trouble even giving advice & answering questions over the phone I do believe they've saved me a lot of money helping with the DPF issue before it was to far gone & had to buy a new one, Adrian also got in touch a day later to make sure my car is still running ok & I was happy with how its running, very highly recommend this service & company.

Thank you for the review and yes if we can avoid it we won't perform a DPF Clean where it is unnecessary. Typically fixing the underlying issue and then getting it to regenerate again naturally is always the best course of action to preserve the life of the DPF. Glad to help.
