DPF Cleaning Near Me – Mobile Service Across Melbourne

A Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is designed to trap and store soot from your vehicle’s exhaust to reduce emissions. While the DPF can regenerate itself by burning off the soot during driving – a process called DPF regeneration – this process can fail or become incomplete, especially with lots of short trips or stop-start driving.

We recommend preventive DPF cleaning every 100,000km for all vehicles equipped with a DPF to avoid expensive repairs or damage to the filter. However, if your DPF warning light is on, in 70% of cases, the filter is already too clogged to regenerate properly – and professional DPF cleaning is required to restore it.

Common signs include:

• DPF warning light on your dashboard

• Loss of engine power

• Increased fuel consumption

• Frequent or failed regenerations

If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s time to get it checked.

At CarbonTech, we’re specialists in diagnosing DPF issues. We use advanced tools and have the technical knowledge to pinpoint why your DPF is clogged—not just clean it and send you on your way. Remember, the DPF is often just a symptom—the real issue might lie elsewhere, like in the intake system, sensors, or driving conditions. Identifying the root cause helps prevent the problem from coming back.

We clean all types of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and machinery — if it burns fuel, we can clean it.

This includes:

• Passenger cars (diesel, petrol, and LPG)

• Commercial trucks and vans

• Buses and fleet vehicles

• Trains and locomotives

• Marine engines (boats, yachts, and commercial vessels)

• Industrial generators and heavy machinery

We do not service aviation engines, but pretty much everything else is covered. If you’re unsure, just ask — chances are we’ve cleaned it before.

CarbonTech uses the FlexFuel Carbon X3 chemical-based system, which softens and flushes out soot without removing the DPF. It’s safe, effective, and doesn’t involve high-pressure water or risky force regenerations.

No. Our process is done on-vehicle, saving time and labour costs. The DPF remains fitted to your exhaust system throughout the cleaning.

The full DPF curative clean takes approximately 3 to 5 hours, depending on your vehicle and the level of clogging.

Yes! We come to your location across Melbourne and surrounding areas. No need to leave your vehicle at a workshop.

Our cleaning removes soot and restores flow, but it’s important to fix the root cause of clogging—like intake restriction, faulty sensors, or short trips. We offer diagnostic checks to help you prevent it from coming back.

A full mobile DPF clean is $800 including GST and call-out fee. If it’s not DPF-related, we only charge a $150 diagnostic call-out fee.
