What are the Benefits of Mobile DPF Cleaning?

Mobile DPF cleaning helps to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance the overall performance of your engine. By removing accumulated soot and ash from the filter, it restores optimal airflow, prolongs the DPF's lifespan, and prevents costly repairs.

While you will also receive these benefits if you book a DPF clean at a local garage, a mobile appointment can be much more convenient for you. Some of the specific benefits of a mobile DPF clean include:

 

  • Competitive Pricing. Mobile mechanics usually have lower overheads as they don’t have to pay bills and upkeep for static premises. This means you can often save money on your maintenance by choosing a mobile mechanic.
  • Convenience. The biggest benefit of a mobile DPF clean is the flexibility it affords you. Instead of having to find time to take your car to a local garage, the mechanic will come to you at a time and place that fits in with your regular schedule.
  • More Personal Relationship. It is easier to build a relationship with a mobile mechanic as you will usually deal with the same person, rather than speaking to several members of staff at a static garage. Many people prefer this level of service.
  • Transparency. If you’ve had a bad experience with a garage in the past, you might be more wary of leaving your car with them. As you can book a mobile DPF clean on your driveway, you can keep an eye on the progress of the job for your peace of mind.

 

Mobile DPF Cleaning & Regeneration Services

A DPF flush is the main DPF cleaning service you can book through BookMyGarage. This is a fairly low-level service which removes the worst of your car’s soot build up to keep the Diesel Particulate Filter healthy. As such, it is one of the cheaper DPF services you can book.

Some garages offer more in-depth DPF cleaning and regeneration services as custom products. We show all available products from each garage so you can find one in your area that meets your needs. Just enter your reg and postcode to compare all available instant prices.

 

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How Can I Clean My DPF at Home?

The easiest way to clean your DPF at home is by using a specialist DPF cleaner. These are chemical fuel additives that work while driving along to remove carbon build up and reduce emissions.

To avoid the need for a DPF clean in the first place, make sure you drive over 40 mph for at least 20 minutes on a regular basis and keep your car well serviced.

Consult your vehicle handbook for more specific advice about cleaning your DPF naturally.

Can You Drive With a Dirty DPF?

We would not recommend driving with a dirty DPF for an extended time.

A clogged DPF can lead to reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and potential damage to the engine and other emission control components. It may also trigger warning lights on the dashboard and result in the vehicle entering a reduced power mode or even going into limp mode.

You can also cause expensive damage if you ignore the need to clean your dirty DPF and continue driving normally.

How Long Can I Drive With DPF Light On?

You should avoid driving with the DPF light on for any significant time as it can cause severe & expensive damage to your engine.

The length of time you can drive without completing an active regeneration cycle (by driving over 40mph for at least 20 minutes) varies. It depends on the level of soot accumulated in the filter and where you drive your car the most.

We recommend completing an active regeneration cycle as soon as you see the DPF light to avoid further problems and to keep your car in top condition.

How Long Does Mobile DPF Cleaning Take?

On average, a mobile DPF clean should take around an hour to complete. It can be included in a routine service and may also include an extended test drive to ensure everything is working properly.

Every mobile mechanic will follow its own process for a DPF clean. This means it can take anywhere between 30 minutes and 2+ hours to complete.

How Often Does a DPF Need Cleaning?

If you use your diesel car correctly, you shouldn’t need to book a DPF clean very often at all. This is because diesel cars are designed to self-clean when you drive at high speeds for more than 20 minutes.

If your diesel vehicle can’t Regenerate regularly, you may need to clean your DPF every few months to avoid expensive problems and lower your emissions.

Do I Need to Be at Home During My Mobile DPF Clean?

While you don’t necessarily need to be at home while the mobile mechanic works on your car, it would still be advisable to be around. Many of the services a mobile mechanic can perform only take a couple of hours and they will have other jobs to get to once they have finished with your vehicle.

At the very least, you need to make a plan with the mechanic if you’re not going to be home and be contactable during your mobile DPF cleaning.
