I cannot recommend this garage enough! Their customer service during these circumstances, with all these MOT's now needing done due to Covid-19 and the DVLA 6 month extension, was outstanding!
They managed to squeeze in my MOT and were in constant contract from the outset.

DPF warning light was constantly on as it was failing to re-generate, so this garage did a 'forced regen' which apparently was unsuccessful, and then a 'high revs driving' regen, which also apparently failed. But amazingly, 24 hours later the dashboard light went out by itself and hasn't returned in 7 months, so a potentially very expensive replacement DPF avoided!
The work on the car complete within hours and I avoided costly repairs. Car drives smoothly and engine light never came back. Very pleased and would definitely recommend and be back. Mark was very honest when asked about my issue with breaks as well. Superb service
Steven is a genuine guy who seems to love his job. He found additional issues with my car and worked hard to clear the fault which he didn’t have to do. As for the original problem this was cleared and I’m looking forward to a few more miles for my car! Thanks again and will recommend to all my friends and family
Very friendly, offered a courtesy car even though car was only going to be in a few hours.

Diesel Particulate Filters are extremely important to have in your vehicle. The filter captures and stores exhaust soot in order to help reduce emissions coming from diesel cars.
Ever since 2009, the Euro 5 standard has been enforced, a rule which ensures all new diesel cars must have particulate filters fitted.
These pieces of equipment were introduced in an effort to reduce the particle and soot emissions from diesel engines. Diesel Particulate filters (DPF) trap soot before it blows out of an exhaust and like any filter, it requires cleaning in order to maintain performance.
Fortunately the filter itself has self-cleaning capabilities known as regeneration.
There are two types of regeneration which can be carried out on your car.
This process happens automatically while the exhaust is at a high temperature which will usually occur when you are driving down a motorway or quickly down an A-road. However, as many vehicles aren’t always being driven at high speeds, an alternative system for regeneration exists.
This method of cleaning the DFP is controlled by an engine management computer and happens automatically when the filter reaches 45% of its limit. The process is initiated by the fuel injection being increased which makes the exhaust heat up and therefore clear the filter. However, if your drive is a short one and the process tries to initiate, it will not be able to properly clear the filter, in this eventuality, the warning light in your car will come on.
A drive of about ten minutes at a speed of around 40mph should be adequate for the process to be successful.
If these issues are effecting your car it is almost certain that you will need your filter replacing which is likely to cost upwards of £1000 including diagnostic and labour time.
And if you were thinking of saving all of that time and money by removing the filter completely, think again, it’s illegal to remove the DPF.
The Department for Transport states that it is an offence to remove the filter or modify the piece of equipment in a way which would result in the vehicle failing air pollutant emission standards. Breaking the law will result in the vehicle not being road worthy so if you are ever offered to have your filter removed, make sure to keep this in mind.
Every MOT now includes a check for the DPF and a smoke test from the exhaust so there is very little chance of getting away with removing the filter.
If you need to have the filter regenerated manually, you must take your vehicle to a trained professional immediately. They will initiate a process where the exhaust is heated up to a point where regeneration happens and soot is cleared from the filter.
