Comprehensive diagnostics and cleaning for your vehicle's DPF.
About Our Workshop
Comprehensive Diagnostics is the Key!
DPF issues with your vehicle? From Diagnostics, to in-depth investigations and fault finding, to fixing and cleaning..we do the lot! We have over 10 years of experience with diagnosing & cleaning DPFs to a high level and we would like to rank ourselves as one of the best in not just Rainham, Gillingham, Medway but the South East in Kent itself!
Many businesses, often mobile, will offer you a cheap solution and provide a basic DPF clean without removing the DPF from the vehicle or ascertaining the reason for the problem. A high ash accumulation actually requires the DPF to be removed from the vehicle in order to give it a proper clean.
We don't just offer a forced re-generation service. Our modern equipment is designed to provide the maximum clean and results in a reconditioned DPF. Our diagnostics are designed to pin point what, if any, parts that may be required.

UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU MIGHT NEED A DPF CLEAN , THE SIGNS & WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
We clean your DPF off the vehicle using a very high pressure machine which will clean with ease all diesel particulate filters (DPF’s), Euro 4, 5 & 6. The most efficient and precise way to make sure it’s like new again! There are a number of businesses that advertise they can clean your DPF, but usually this is with the DPF on the vehicle. Unfortunately , unless the blockage is very mild, cleaning it whilst on the vehicle is likely to be a temporary solution only.
A new DPF can cost thousands in some cases. We can either remove/refit the DPF and clean or if you would like to just supply us with the DPF by itself ( for workshops or mechanically minded individuals) then you can do just that.
How do I know if my DPF needs cleaning?
Several signs indicate that your DPF may need cleaning:
- Warning Light: Most modern vehicles are equipped with a DPF warning light that illuminates when the filter is becoming clogged- Reduced Engine Performance: If you experience a noticeable drop in power or acceleration, it may be a sign of a blocked DPF- Increased Fuel Consumption: A clogged DPF can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, resulting in more frequent refuelling- Exhaust Smoke: Dark smoke emitting from the exhaust, especially during acceleration, may indicate a clogged DPF.
The longer you drive with a blocked DPF, the worse it will get and it will cause further problems to the engine in doing so.

STEP 1 DIAGNOSTICS
STEP 3 DPF REMOVE & CLEAN
STEP 1 DIAGNOSTICS
The first thing we recommend is to allow us to diagnose the issue. This can range from £39 to £75 plus the VAT depending on the issue. You don't need to have an investigation but so often we find an underlying fault that has been instrumental in causing the problem. Of course if you want just a clean on its own then we can do that but do not expect miracles.
