It's not often you find a company with outstanding service. This is the second time I have used Adrian at Engine Carbon Clean. The first time I was a little sceptical on the carbon cleaning process, there is a mixture of reviews on-line from various companies, but most were positive. I also thought that my car (2012 VW Touran TDI with 91,000 miles at first visit, 110,00 at the second) would probably have carbon build up due to many short trips would benefit from the clean if it actually worked. Prior to the second visit I had experienced a sticky EGR valve. On both occasions, Adrian arrived on time and after explaining the whole process and running a full diagnosis check on my car, he commenced with the clean keeping a close eye on the live diagnostic data. After both cleans my car has felt better to drive, smoother, quieter and more responsive. MPG has also increased and now acheiving 65 mpg on a run. Would I recommend? Definitely.

Adrian is a great honest guy who knows his stuff. He has come from a scientific background and will explain the process really well. He is well able to answer any questions the customer has and does it in a polite and professional way. Really recommend the service also. The car had some issues which straight away Adrian says the cleaning will not deal with, but after the clean the car runs so much better.

I have used Adrian at engine carbon clean a few times now and he's polite and efficient and very very knowledgeable. He performs in-depth diagnostics and an amazing engine carbon clean. I had him to do my car and treated the wife's car too. When the engine cleaning was done I took them for a drive and it restored lots of lost power both run smoothly and better mpg which is great. I highly recommend Adrian. Treat your car to carbon clean.

I booked Adrian to come and give my car a carbon clean. I just recently purchased my Range Rover sport and thought I would get it carbon cleaned while it still has warranty. Adrian has worked on several of my previous cars as well. As always I was kept in the loop of what time he was arriving and the process that he was doing. Yet again very pleased with the results and I’ve got peace of mind that there is nothing seriously wrong with my new car. Will definitely book again once I’ve done enough miles. 5-star work as always. Thanks.

Adrian was brilliant from start to finish, explaining everything he was checking and doing as he went along and suggestions for next steps. Nothing was too much trouble and he was happy to answer any questions I had. The advice he gave me was easy to understand and will ultimately save me a fair amount of money!

This was the third time Adrian has been out to do a carbon clean for us. Booking process was easy, Adrian is responsive to messages and very informative. Primarily had the most recent carbon clean for preventative/maintenance as had just purchased the car and wanted to make sure it had a clean bill of health so any issues identified could be sorted under warranty. Adrian was able to provide this reassurance. Great service as always an am sure we will be seeing Adrian again.

My 2008 Citroen C4 1.6hdi had the dpf light come on. The local garage cleared it but wasn't confident it would stay off. They told me to speak to the main dealers. In the end, I just got confused, mainly because neither of them told me what the problem was. Enter Adrian, after having read his website I felt confident that he would diagnose the fault. He arrived promptly and went about his work in a professional and friendly manner. The fault was diagnosed to a relay, he also did a carbon clean, the car is now a totally different car to when I bought it. It's much quieter and much more responsive as well. Would I recommend Adrian? In a heartbeat every time.
