Frequently asked questions
How much does DPF cleaning cost?
Professional DPF cleaning starts from around $500, depending on the vehicle and how blocked the filter is. A brand-new DPF can cost between $3,000 and $7,000 fitted, so cleaning typically saves you thousands.
How long does DPF cleaning take?
Most DPF cleans are completed the same day — usually around 3 to 4 hours. We remove the filter, clean it off the vehicle, test it and refit it before you collect your car.
How do I know if my DPF is blocked?
Common signs are a DPF or engine warning light, loss of power, increased fuel use, excessive smoke, a strong burning smell, or the car going into limp mode. If you see these, it is best to have the DPF checked before it fails completely.
Is cleaning better than replacing my DPF?
In most cases, yes. A professional off-car clean restores the filter to near-original flow and efficiency for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. Replacement is only needed if the filter is physically cracked or melted.
Do I need to remove my own DPF?
No. Bring the vehicle to our Mascot workshop and we handle everything — removal, deep cleaning, testing and refitting.
Can you clean my DPF if I am outside Sydney?
Yes. We service Mascot and the surrounding 20km area in person, and we also accept DPF filters Australia-wide by post. Remove and send us your filter and we will clean, test and return it.
