A noisy exhaust or an emissions warning light? We investigate exhaust, particulate-filter and other emissions-system faults. After the inspection, we explain the repair needed and provide an estimate.

A quote for your car and the work needed
We investigate the cause before quoting for repair. Describe the symptoms and include any fault codes or emissions test results. We agree the diagnostic price first.
We locate exhaust leaks and damage. Tell us when the noise or smell started and whether it changes under acceleration or over bumps. The repair depends on the location of the damage and the condition of the part.
Checks for leaks and mounting issues
Repair or replacement of damaged components
Diagnostics related to catalytic-converter operation
Repair method chosen for the damage and vehicle
DPF, EGR and emissions faults
DPF means diesel particulate filter, and EGR means exhaust gas recirculation. A fault code alone does not identify the faulty part. We investigate the system and agree on cleaning, repairs or replacement based on the findings.
Has the emissions warning returned?
Tell us about previous fault codes, cleaning and repairs, and when the warning returned. Attach the earlier report if you have it. The same warning does not necessarily mean the same fault, and clearing it does not repair the cause.
Attach the inspection report and emissions results to your service request. We agree the investigation and repair with you. The official reinspection takes place at an inspection station.
Tell us the dashboard message and any remaining distance before the car will no longer start. We check the fluid and system operation, then agree any repairs. Adding fluid does not always resolve a system fault.
Frequently asked questions
Good to know before service.
Does a DPF warning always mean the filter must be replaced?+
No. It may relate to filter loading, a sensor, engine operation or another system fault. We investigate before choosing a repair.
Can a DPF be cleaned?+
In some cases cleaning may be possible, but filter loading and the cause of blockage must first be investigated. The method is chosen from measurements and filter condition.
Does a catalyst code always require replacement?+
No. The cause may also be a sensor, ignition, fuel mixture or leak. Fault codes and measurements guide diagnosis.
Will I receive a repair price before work starts?+
If the cause is unknown, we first agree the diagnostic scope. Once the repair need is established, we review work, parts and the estimate before repairs begin.
