About 7 months ago I noticed that my Audi’s MPG was deteriorating. After several diagnostic tests, including at Audi, I was told they could find nothing wrong with my car. I knew this wasn’t the case as I was getting nearly 200 miles less than I should out of a tank of fuel! We tried numerous things to fix the issue and have spent goodness knows how much money on fuel and fixes. Well, Adrian came out this morning after managing to fit me in before I was due to drive to Yorkshire (a costly journey in my car!) He was really lovely and clearly knew his stuff. He only had to listen to the engine to know it was sooty. Afterwards, I took my car for a 35 mile round trip and averaged nearly 53 mpg- I was struggling to get near 40mpg previously! A fantastic improvement! Thank you so much for ending 7 months of stress and expense. If only I’d been told to do it sooner!

Adrian I really can't thank you enough. After diagnosing a fault with my DPF sensor then doing the clean my car has been totally transformed. It's a joy to drive now, the difference in power during normal driving and at motorway speeds is astonishing. Its much smoother and definitive quieter than before with the added bonus of using less fuel too. I couldn't fault Adrian's professionalism, he explained everything to me in detail and even took the time to do an on-board test drive diagnosis twice to make sure no more Dtc's appeared. I have already recommended your services to a few people and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to a few more. I will definitively be using your services again in the future my friend, thank you so much. Money well spent and worth every single penny ☺️

Spent quite some time researching this and looking for a good, reputable company with good feedback. Was worth the time finding Adrian. I got an immediate response to my request with all my questions answered comprehensively. Adrian was on my doorstep exactly on time. As for the work done had a really interesting chat with Adrian while he was running diagnostics and performing the clean. The difference? Took it out as advised after and the change in the engine/turbo is amazing. Running smoother with less stress so the rattle at idle has gone, the turbo spools up quicker and I have better throttle response. Engine sounds superb and on a long run already experienced better MPG as I'm quite thrifty being a Yorkshireman. Customer service wise I even had a follow up text to see how it was running? Nobody does that, I've spent thousands in BMW motorsports specialists Graham Goode and other reputable garages and they took the money and that was it, hob done. In all great service, great product and great value. Cheers Adrian.

Had Adrian initially come out to perform a preventative carbon clean on my petrol 06 Rav-4. I was very impressed with how easy it was to book in, and again on the day i was given an exact time i could expect him. Dispite there being no apparent symptoms of carbon build up pre clean, power has been notably increased, the engine is much quieter and the car is much more enjoyable to drive. I have recommended Adrian to freinds and family, several of whom have now also tried the carbon clean on their own cars and again said how they were impressed not only with the quality of service, but the significant improvement following on from the clean in how their cars ran. 5/5 would absolutely recommend.

Adrian visited my 08 Jaguar x-type 2.2 diesel this morning and I've just took It out for a drive and wow ! What a difference. Its so quiet now , not that it sounded too much like a tractor before but its remarkable how quieter it is now for a diesel . Power wise it responds much better than it ever has . It rarely smoked before but I'm sure it will show a difference in the next mot emission test . I'm well impressed . And as for Adrian , such a nice professional guy , it was like being with F1 red bull's christian Horner. This guy knows his stuff. Well worth the £99 and would recommend to anyone . Thanks again .

Been to carbon clean my Honda accord tourer 2.2 idtec this morning.. . Nothing really wrong with the vehicle but by the time it had finished the engine noise was less. Went to stretch it's legs after and seemed to pull better in the higher gears with less lag. Very happy thank you very much ! I would definitely recommend!

The carbon clean worked fantastically on my Audi A3 Quattro 2.0tdi its running so much smoother no more low down grumble the engines response has also increased massively and the turbo is boosting nicely to pulling through all the gears with no flat spots , feels like a different engine. Adrian carried out the service he was very polite really knowable and professionally walked me through the whole thing answering any questions I had. Over all would highly recommend this service to anyone it has had such an impact on how the car performs and it only takes 45 minutes which is incredible.

Took 10 years off my bmw 120d its now back to full health thanks to Adrian

Had my bmw 120d carbon cleaned today . Adrian was very helpful through messages and gave me a eta time and was there on time very professional. He first did a full diagnostic on my car that threw up some codes that wouldnt clear . He advised me on what the issues it could be and then started the Hcarbon clean process. After only 15 mins the enigine note had changed and ran so smooth at idle. Before booking the 120d in i did deep clean the egr and intake manifold off the car . what this process did for me was clean away all the build up of carbon in my engine and turbo making my engine breath and the turbo to spool up and boost more efficiently. I took the bmw for a test drive after adrian went and omg it put me in the back of my seat and a massive grin on my face . will be booking in my van and other cars for sure and will recomend to everyone i know . at £99 with a diagnostic and carbon clean its amazing value for money
