Had a carbon clean and diagnostic. Adrian is very professional and friendly. He is very knowledgeable and did a good job. My partner's Mazda 3 runs lovely after the service so she's very happy. We will use Adrian again in the future. Thank you, Adrian.

I deliver cars for a living, and know quality, this gentleman restored our car by cleaning out the carbon and restoring the engine, runs like new now, very few people like him around. Well recommended.

I had Adrian out to do a carbon clean on my 2011 nissan navara v6. I wasn't sure what to expect but Adrian found 3 fault codes (it had been in the garage for a full service the day before). He cleared these codes and gave advice on them. Truck starts better and drives a lot smoother now. Very happy with Adrian and his service.

Very impressed with Adrian and his knowledge and professionalism on the job. Highly recommend! I'd booked in 3 cars for an engine carbon clean, two petrol vehicles and one diesel ranging from 1996 to 2010, all with around 100k miles or more. Adrian methodically worked on each vehicle, whilst providing me a clear, consice and honest education in what the process actually does and what it doesn't. Following each car being completed he provided a print out and a digital copy of diagnostics and all the codes found on the ECU, which was very handy to have. Later that day after the appointment I found myself having to travel long distance and took the diesel. The comparison between before and after the carbon clean was astonishing. I found the car was providing better and smoother torque, faster throttle response, a slightly quieter engine and a much better and consistent MPG. I have to say its been worth every penny. Will definitely be using his services again in the future.

This kind of service was actually suggested by my local garage to help sort out a problem I was having with my car (engine going into limp mode, engine fault lights and continuous problems). As well as sorting out the issues, it has helped diagnose where other issues might lie and improve the engine performance. I cannot believe where I have never come across Engine Carbon Clean East Midlands’ service before! Highly recommend.

Second time using engine carbon clean and much like the first service was swift. Diagnostics carried out always helpful as other issues identified. After service car is far more responsive, less smoke and pulls well yet again. Recommend this for any car owner.

Second time we’ve used Adrian and not disappointed with any part of the service provided we took advantage of the multi car discount offered and both cars are like new again don’t think it’s a myth it really works

Jaguar XF 120k miles, since Adrian worked his magic improved throttle response, quieter drive and increased mpg, all facts. If you spend money on one thing to improve your car spend it on this gentleman and his process, you will not be disappointed and you will no doubt join the growing number of people who will recommend him and use him again!
