How Our Technicians Can Help You

Vehicle Diagnostics

During MOT tests, we thoroughly inspect your vehicle’s emissions, brakes, lights, and structural integrity to ensure it meets legal standards. Visit our standalone MOT testing page for more information.

DPF Cleaning

Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) play a crucial role in reducing emissions by trapping soot and ash from your exhaust. Over time, these filters can become clogged, leading to reduced performance and increased fuel consumption. Our DPF cleaning service uses advanced equipment to remove buildup, restoring your vehicle’s efficiency and lowering emissions. In cases where cleaning isn’t sufficient, we can replace your DPF with a high-quality component. To learn more, prospective customers around Bridport and Lymes Regis can check out our DPF Cleaning page.

AdBlue Services

AdBlue systems help diesel engines meet stringent emission standards by breaking down harmful nitrogen oxides into harmless gases. If your vehicle’s AdBlue system encounters issues, such as injector failures or incorrect dosing, our team can diagnose and repair them effectively. We also provide AdBlue refills and system maintenance to ensure your vehicle remains compliant and performs optimally. From troubleshooting warning lights to addressing pump malfunctions, our expertise covers all aspects of AdBlue systems.
