How It Works

Our Mobile DPF Cleaning Process

At Rapid Performance, we’ve designed our mobile DPF cleaning service to be fast, effective, and completely hassle-free. Here’s what you can expect when you book with us:

Pre-Clean Diagnostics

We begin with a full system scan to assess your DPF’s condition and check for any related issues. This ensures we know exactly what we're dealing with before we start the clean.

01
02
On-Site DPF Cleaning

Using professional-grade tools and cleaning solutions, we remove soot, ash, and carbon build-up from your DPF — without the need to remove it from the vehicle. We’re fully mobile, so we can carry out the service at your home, workplace, or wherever your vehicle is located.

Post-Clean Testing

Once the clean is complete, we run another diagnostic to confirm the system is functioning properly. We’ll check live data, reset any DPF-related fault codes, and make sure everything’s running as it should.

03
Ongoing Support

If your vehicle needs further attention — such as an EGR or sensor issue — we’ll give you clear, honest advice on your next steps. No hard sell, no pressure — just expert guidance to keep you running smoothly.

Absolutely fantastic service! After taking my van to multiple garages and mechanics who couldn’t figure out the issue, Rapid Performance diagnosed it immediately and had it sorted in no time. The speed and efficiency were impressive, and the price was very fair. On top of that, he’s a genuinely nice guy who made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone in need of a quick and reliable fix! 5 stars

Had the DPF light on dash and Astra in limp mode. Garage could not conduct force regen as DPF too blocked. Dan came out next day and carry out a full diagnostic check before cleaning the DPF and checking it would regen on its own. All codes cleared, smell of diesel gone and engine sounds better already. Fuel economy is also likely to improve. First class service, very knowledgeable and helpful. Nothing was too much for Dan. Defo recommend.

Took my Audi for a Map and I’m so pleased with the service. After a dyno run we discovered the car had already been mapped previously but not very well so it was mapped again and she drives brilliantly now. Very happy customer. Will recommend to everyone

I've been to Dan at Rapid twice now. 1st visit was to find out if it was truly running the nearly 300bhp the dealer claimed. During he the dino run we found the waste gate solenoid had gone and it was boosting far to quickly and dropping off. Soon had that fixed and returned a very impressive 282bhp with stage 3 Revo software. its since been back to search for the remaining 20 odd BHP revo stated was still there with a remap. Well, Dan spent hours reprogramming the brains to now an awesome 320bhp and 484nm of torque. Its proper rapid and needed a slightly soft and smoother application of power to not set the tyres on fire. to achieve this much from the S242 Turbo technics set up was fantastic. I cant recommend Rapid performance enough. Think I may need a LSD though 🤣🤔 Competitive price which I was very happy with
