Adrian arrived promptly at the requested location to perform his services on 4 vehicles, I forgot to mention there was no access to power as he would have came with his portable generator, this was my fault entirely as I failed to correctly read the message. We soon went to another location where Adrian went to work on the vehicles, pleased that he performed a health check which shown no faults but I wasn’t expecting any as I decided to get this done after extensive research and I like preventive maintenance as I rely on my vehicles. After the work was completed all vehicles seemed much quieter and more responsive. Thanks again!!!

Thank you Steve for the review and was a pleasure meeting you all and working on your vehicles. Yes access to power is needed, but if not available then we can indeed bring a generator - change of location was no problem and glad to help.

Arriving bang-on time, Adrian happily demonstrated the equipment and how it worked. Around halfway through the clean, the ‘booming’ bass tone from the engine subsided to virtually nothing. He explained the chemistry behind what/why this was happening too - fascinating stuff. Initially the car drove a little better but a lot quieter. Serene on the motorway, it has changed the experience of my work commute no end. After a day or two of driving, I’m seeing and feeling the turbo engage around 300-400rpm sooner which makes town driving so much easier. When I buy my next used car, Adrian will be top of my list to call.

Adrian was bang on time and demonstrated the equipment and process as he set the equipment up. Throughout the process, he explained not only what was happening, but the chemistry as to how and why this process works. Approximately half way through the clean, the engine note changed from a ‘booming’ sound to the more traditional diesel sound, at idle. The drive afterwards showed a definite improvement in response but the greatest improvement was the noise. The cabin is now serene. Virtually no vibration can be felt through the steering wheel or gearstick, where previously they would shake. What impressed me about Adrian is that he made no false promises as to what was possible from a clean, and delivered on everything he said it would. An absolute professional, who loves his work. Not difficult to see why he won a Which award, only this month. Great work, thank you Adrian.

Cleaned the carbon and did the diagnostic test for my Lexus IS220d. Adrian explained every detail while he was doing the diagnostic and now I don't see any smoke.

I have been following ECC for some time. Adrian performed diagnostics on my car with showed couple minor issues. He had answer all my questions in regards diagnostics that I was interested of certain area that garages wouldn’t tell me. He performed engine carbon clean which I noticed engine was having better clear sound. When tested after around town and motorway. Car felt much smoother and responsive also quite while crushing. Service is worth doing especially with diagnostics as you are shown everything.

Booked my Focus Zetec S in with Adrian and was fitted in quite quickly at a time to suit my needs. Adrian explained what was required and the process . I got the carbon clean done, due to doing a lot of miles in slow traffic, and noticed that mpgs were on the decline. Adrian arrived as messaged and set about working his magic. Diagnostics were carried out to ensure it was safe to carry out the clean. Some faults were found, which he explained to me and emailed them to me. Once cleared he did the clean. The car feels smoother, more eager to please and better drive all round, I guess that's how a new car feels.I would like to thank Adrian, a true professional. Definitely be recommending him and using in the future. Thanks

I had an engine clean from ECC as a general clean as I’d just bought the car and also to help with a slight lack in low end power. This definitely helped with that and also showed a few problems on the diagnosis that I managed to get fixed! Great service for the price and great time keeping, I had a tight schedule and it was stuck to brilliantly. Adrian explained the process which was very interesting and gave an insight into what was actually going on! He also kept in touch afterwards to check the car was performing as expected and to make sure there were no other issues. Great guy and great service.

Thanks for the review Ainsley and glad to help you with the Porsche. Was quite fortunate we picked up on the radiator fan not working so you could get that fixed before you ran into any issues. Lovely car.
Would Highly Recommend!
