Had my carbon clean last week and I am really happy with the results; the low reverberating hum from my engine has gone, and replaced with a crisp and clear tick; the throttle response from a standing start has improved, and, as I wanted, the auto choke drops off after just 10-15 seconds now, not the two and half to three minutes it was taking before! Also my fuel economy has improved by what I would say about 10-15% from what I was getting prior to the clean! (Based on £10 fuel I would get 90-100 miles before got 117 over the weekend!) All I can say is thank you, and you will be hearing from me again! Will also be recommending you to friends and family who I think you may be able to help. Regards, Matt.

My car had been running rough and going into limp mode so I thought an engine clean was in order. After speaking to Adrian on the phone he came out, ran some diagnostics that identified a fault to be sorted out and ran the engine clean. Afterwards it felt like I had a new car. His knowledge and service were second to none. I would recommend him to anyone

Can't recommend enough! This is my 3rd clean from Adrian and it never disappoints. Part of a yearly service I do on my cars and keeps them in tip top condition. Health checked and cleaned my Mk6 Golf 2.0tdi GT and all the usual improvements from engine response to noise and improves overall performance every time! Don't be fooled by cheaper companies, they have poor equipment that can damage your car and its just not worth the risk. Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands - F5ECC use top of the range equipment and will give you the best advice on any problems or question you might have. Thanks again Adrian see you next year!

I've been having trouble with my golf GTI with carbon build up and over revving slightly, so I gave Adrian a call and he got me booked in. Adrian came to my home this morning to give my vehicle a check with his diagnostic machine and a engine clean out, Adrian showed me every step and I was very pleased, Adrian also shown me on his diagnostic machine all the fault codes the car previously had, and there was nothing majorly wrong with the car, Adrian also advised me to get my air mass sensor changed which would solve my over revving issue, very pleased with the service Adrian gave, would 100% recommend Adrian and the service he gives, outstanding and now my car is back to full power and runs smooth and can't hardly hear the engine! Excellent thanks again!

As well as fantastic knowledge and customer service , my car has been transformed. Mine has 200657 miles on it so needed some TLC and after Adrian came it now s runs quieter, smoother and feel a like it has had a new engine. I wasn't expecting to see such a difference so well worth the money!

Adrian arrived promptly and was professional throughout his time with us. We had two cars looked at. The Aygo has done over 100,000 miles and had a throaty girgle. After Adrian had worked his magic this changed to a gentle purr, so much better and incredible to see and hear the difference. We weren’t expecting the petrol car to clean up as much as it did. Next was my car, a few faults flagged up and over the past few weeks I have had a turbo lag appear. Again, Adrian worked his magic and the turbo lag has gone and is running smoother and quieter than before. I cannot recommend Adrian enough. He is knowledgable, professional and courteous. I was talked through every stage with clear details. You will not be disappointed with this service both with work carried out and customer attention.

Thanks very much for the review and it was a pleasure to help you with both your cars - the Aygo really was transformed. Thank you for the referral also. As always, glad to help.
A whole wealth of experience.

Very professional approach all the way through. Adrian took the time to explain all elements of the clean to a level that could be easily understood. Most worthwhile £99 i've spent in some time as the results were instant. Honda Civic Type S GT-T 2.2 diesel engine noticed the response in power, and much quieter idle. Confident I'll see my MPG get back to where it was. A real credit to himself for his patience, even in the bitter cold and rain.
