I was struggling to find a knowledgeable Auto diagnosis that would not simply plug in a BDO2. .Some want £90 and no printout. Adrian actually encouraged me to stay and watch and provide excellent clear info on what he was doing and how it affected the car as I had for a few pounds extra the engine De-carboned (Cleaned) using the amazing Hydrogen Electrolysis process. He also kept in touch after to see how the faults diagnosed were performing and the repairs I had authorised. Rarely do I give praise, to be honest, but this is a first-class service.

Adrian provides a fantastic service, after enquiring with various companies and being promised the earth I came across Adrian at Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands who gave me realistic expectations with his no nonsense approach. We decided to take advantage of the multi-vehicle discount and had a van and 3 cars done and the results exceeded any expectations. We will definitely be rebooking in the future

Magic Worked Once Again!
Customer Service

Adrian kept me posted about his ETA and even messaged me the day before to check that appointment was still okay. He turned up on time and got straight to work (the car was already warm as I’d just arrived home). A diagnostics check was completed first of all and everything came back clear/okay (no issues or faults at all) and so Adrian then connected up the necessary equipment, which would then start the internal cleaning process. Although I was working from home that day I left Adrian to get on with his work as I knew what the process entailed... This is the third time I’ve used Adrian and his company to clean my car engines internally (Kia Cee’d, Kia Sorenro and Jaguar XF). All three cars ran/run better, smoother, quieter after the cleaning process. I ask Adrian to visit and work his magic each time I swap my car so that I know the engine is starting from the best (cleanest) place possible whilst I own the vehicle - the diagnostic check also always me to get any underlying issues sorted, if any show up. The visit took about 50mins from start to finish, I paid by contactless and Adrian was then on his way to the next appointment. He’s a good egg, always polite, very knowledgeable and I think the product/service he offers is worth every penny.

A big improvement for my engine

I have an Audi A6 C7 (2018) 2.0 quattro petrol. I just bought it with 50k miles on the clock. The MPG seemed poorer than expected and the car would stutter if revved in neutral before returning to idle. Since having the cleaning done, it has improved my instant consumption gauge from 10 mpg to 30+ mpg when I'm doing 70mpg in 7th gear on uphill inclines. This is exactly what I was hoping for as I had to put my foot down alot more just to maintain the speed before the clean. My engine also revs perfectly fine with no dips. Highly recommend. This is the second time I have used this service and would certainly do it again.

Adrian was very professional and kept me fully informed about what he found. The result was that when I went out for a 17 mile trip, it felt much smoother and quieter, even with the sunroof open.

Diesel fueled car with a performance issue

Had various power related issues with a diesel fueled car. The diagnostic and visual check showed an error with a faulty part linked to the fuel system. The engine was also decarbonised too and I have noted a difference in performance and a reduction in exhaust smoke. I'm very pleased with the results and Adrian's expertise and advice. Well recommended.

I'm very pleased with the service I was provided with by Adrian from Engine Carbon Clean! He's very competent and professional! The diagnostic was accurate and informative, so thanks to it I have found out about a few issues I wasn't even aware of. Engine Carbon cleaning restored some power to my engine and it works smoother now. I will definitely use Carbon Engine Clean East Mids again! Highly recommended! Thank you :)

Adrian is a brilliant guy. Nothing was too much trouble. I had my DPF sensor replaced and he reset the ECU for me and did an engine and filter clean. Thoroughly good value for money and my car accelerates and runs like it should. I'm really happy with the work done and definitely recommend the service to anyone with a diesel or other engine problems.
