Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my DPF be cleaned?
Typically every 150,000–200,000 miles, or sooner if you drive short-haul routes or idle frequently.

Do you perform DPF cleaning in-house?
Yes. We offer full thermal DPF cleaning, flow testing, and same-day turnaround in most cases.

What causes forced regens to fail?
Often clogged filters, bad sensors, or a failing doser/injector prevent proper regen. We identify the root cause and correct it.

Can you clear DPF fault codes after repair?
Yes. We use OEM-grade software to clear codes and reset the system after repairs or cleaning.

Do you help fleets stay emissions-compliant?
Absolutely. We offer fleet contracts with scheduled DPF cleanings and pre-inspection checks.
