One fixed price covers everything:

We come to you. You don't need to drop the car anywhere.

  • A mobile call-out to your home, workplace or driveway anywhere across Greater Manchester
  • A full chemical flush to break down soot and ash blockages inside the filter
  • A fault code clear so your warning lights reset once the filter is clean
  • Roughly one to two hours of your time, with no need to arrange a courtesy car or take a day off

How does £275 compare?

DPF replacement at a garage typically costs £800 to £1,000 fitted for an aftermarket part, or £1,200 to £1,500 or more for an OEM part fitted at a dealer, with prestige and commercial vehicles often at the higher end. Replacement makes sense when a filter is physically damaged, but most DPF faults are blockages, not structural failure.

A garage DPF clean usually costs somewhere between £150 and £300. The catch is that you have to book the car in, arrange a drop-off, and collect it later. Pricing also varies from garage to garage, and it isn't always clear what's included.

With us, the price is fixed and we work around you. If you want to understand the difference between cleaning and replacement in more detail, see our guide to DPF cleaning vs replacement.

Is DPF cleaning worth it?

In most cases, yes, and by a wide margin. A £275 chemical clean that restores your DPF to working order costs a fraction of what you'd pay for a new filter. It also takes less time and involves no garage drop-off.

If your DPF light has come on, or you've noticed poor performance and reduced fuel economy, a blocked filter is a likely cause. Chemical cleaning resolves the majority of DPF faults. If your filter has failed structurally rather than just become blocked, we'll tell you honestly: we won't carry out a clean that won't fix the problem.
