About this service

A blocked diesel particulate filter (DPF) is one of the most expensive things to replace — typically 1200 to 2000 from a main dealer. But 80% of blocked DPFs can be cleaned, restoring them to near-new condition for a fraction of the cost. We start with forced regeneration; if that does not work we move to off-car deep cleaning. Most jobs are completed in a day. If your DPF light is on, do not ignore it — driving on can permanently damage the filter.

Frequently asked

Why is my DPF light on?
It means your filter is partially blocked. This usually happens on cars driven mostly in town — diesels need regular motorway runs to self-clean.
Can a blocked DPF damage my engine?
Yes. A fully blocked DPF can cause back-pressure damage to turbos, EGR valves and even the engine itself. Address it early.
Do I really need this if I cannot afford it?
We will be honest with you — if cleaning will not work and replacement is needed, we will tell you straight rather than try the cheaper job and bill you anyway.
