Search for this in Sunderland and you get garages
Look for a DPF clean in Sunderland and most of what comes up is garages. That usually means a booking, a drop-off, a day without the car and sometimes a quote to replace the filter. Ours happens where the car is parked. A visit takes about an hour, and you see the live data and the readings before and after the clean.
The scan comes first. If the filter is the fault, the chemical clean and forced regeneration deal with it. If the problem sits elsewhere, such as a sensor, you hear that before any clean is done. Read DPF cleaning versus replacement if a garage has already quoted you for a new filter.

When a clean won't be enough
A clean works when soot and ash have built up and the filter is otherwise sound. It will not help a cracked or melted filter, or a car where a faulty sensor keeps causing the light. If you have limp mode, read DPF warning light and limp mode first. We tell you at the scan if a clean won't work, and we don't carry out a job we expect to fail.
Health check or Premier clean
The diagnostic health check is £120 + VAT (£144 inc VAT). It tells you what the car is doing and whether the filter is the cause. The Premier DPF clean is £280 + VAT (£336 inc VAT) and includes diagnostics, the chemical clean of the filter and an engine carbon clean, with a 3-month re-blocking warranty that depends on driving conditions and following our advice. The fixed price is agreed by phone from your registration. If you have a genuine like-for-like quote that is lower, we will beat it.
The Clean Air Zone
Sunderland isn't part of the Newcastle and Gateshead Clean Air Zone, which charges older taxis, vans, buses, coaches and HGVs that don't meet national emissions requirements. Privately owned cars are not affected. If you drive a van into Newcastle, check its registration on the government checker.
The full price list is on the DPF cleaning cost page, and interest-free finance is available. More towns are on the North East England hub.

Questions about Sunderland
Do you cover Washington and Houghton-le-Spring?
Yes. Washington is NE37 and NE38, and Houghton-le-Spring is DH4 and DH5. Both are covered from this page. Ring with your postcode and we'll give you a time and agree the fixed price from your registration before you book.
How fast can you get to Sunderland?
We don't promise a day before you've rung. Call with your postcode and the registration and you'll get the next available date and a fixed price. A customer who rang one evening reports an engineer the next morning, but that isn't a guarantee for every booking.
Is Sunderland in the Clean Air Zone?
The Clean Air Zone belongs to Newcastle and Gateshead and charges older vans, taxis, buses, coaches and HGVs. Privately owned cars are not affected. A DPF clean doesn't change a vehicle's emissions standard, so check a van's registration on the government checker first.
