First time booking with Adrian after seeing his YouTube videos. Kept me informed of his arrival time and showed be everything during the booking whilst running the diagnostics on the car. Carried out a carbon clean too, which I can notice the difference already after taking it out for a drive. Runs a lot smoother. Impressed with Adrian and will be booking again in the future. Highly recommended.

Adrian from Carbon Clean came this morning to help with my rather sluggish VW T4 camper, to be honest after two years of driving all over the uk I was just used to her being slow and underpowered and just thought that’s how they all are . I only booked the clean as part of her service routine as I like to keep all my vehicles in tip top condition . All I can say is WOW what an amazing transformation, she pulls like she’s had a new engine fitted, engine noise is greatly reduced and she seems much quieter . Adrian is a pleasure to do business with , a very professional and knowledgeable person. I certainly will be recommending him and his firm to all my friends. Thanks again.

Mitsubishi L200 Engine Carbon Clean

This is the third vehicle I’ve owned that Adrian has performed the carbon clean on. We recently bought a low mileage L200 which had been doing generally short runs. It was sluggish, not very responsive in the throttle and the tick over was fluctuating. Following the clean and a short 10 mile drive it’s like a different vehicle. Much smoother on pulling away, engine is noticeably smoother running in general and throttle response is noticeably crisper… I’m not surprised as I found this on my two previous vehicles too. Adrian is thorough, very knowledgeable and professional. I can highly recommend him and have no hesitation in doing so.

Adrian promptly arrived on time. He kept me updated at all times, very knowledgable and walked me through the whole process and kept me apprised throughout the whole process even showing me the diagnostics on his computer so I could clearly see what was happening. Post carbon clean my 2005 Mercedes C220 diesel, drove markedly smoother and quieter. Fuel economy also is better. Very impressed, and would recommend highly.

What a very knowledgeable man about his business and how professional he was from the first text I sent enquiring about a Carbon clean on a BMW I had just purchased (which I knew little about) on the day of appointment he was early and straight away I could tell he was very professional in his manner. I'm more confident in my car's ability to be reliable because of Adrian and his service...my car is running perfect for an 11 year old car he explained every detail of the process From diagnostic and fault codes explanation and Carbon treatment...he made me clear on a couple on underlying problems that I didn't know about because of no light's on the dash to make me aware so I've had them looked at by a professional garage for my own piece of mind and the great advice from Adrian ....his service is 5 stars for a reason and you won't get a better service I can assure you because I will be using this service again just because I know what I'm getting..The information and knowledge and professionalism for your car's health is worth the £99 alone ..top man

Had Adrian recommended to me by my local garage after an intermittent fault kept putting my 520d into restricted mode. He arrived ahead of schedule and after a quick chat got straight to work. Unlike many garages where your car disappears out of sight and a few hours later your given it back with a very large bill not knowing what they've done Adrian was more than happy to talk me through everything he was doing and answered any questions I put to him. The result after the clean is much better throttle response and the engine sounds much smoother and quieter. Time will tell whether the mpg figures are restored to nearer manufacturers claims but Adrian was right about everything else so pretty confident. Highly recommend this company and will be using again when needed.

I had two cars treated with the Carbon Clean method. The first was a twenty year old BMW Mini with 127K on the clock that had never had the engine treated to a clean of any description. Straight away the pick up when accelerating was crisper. The MPG had gone from 36 down to 30 MPG, yet somehow after the treatment, it has gone up to 40MPG. My second car, a diesel B Class Mercedes, had an expensive manual engine clean last year courtesy of the EGR, yet that too runs smoother after the treatment. Adrian was very easy to talk with, open, honest and informative. He clearly explained what would be done, what couldn't and why. During the procedure, he did a diagnostic check and sent me all the information.

TVR Griffith

My TVR Griffith after being stored for the last 3 years failed it’s MOT on emissions. The garage had carried out numerous works trying rectify the issues with no success. I came across Adrian’s website and thought I’d give him a call. He visited the garage where the car was and carried out his carbon cleaning process. Even during the cleaning process the engine note had changed from slightly congested to smooth. The following day the garage performed another emission test and found that CO content had dropped from a MOT failing 3.8 to a pass of 2.3 ! Significant to say the least! A Knowledgeable guy carrying out a fantastic service, highly recommended.

Booked a clean with Adrian on my 2012 x5. I have used Adrian before but I didn't have any issues with the car but just fancied a maintenance clean. Wow...the car is now smoother and more responsive. Again the service and approach is top notch. A great service from Adrian and I would highly recommend. Book a clean today you won't regret it.
