Brisbane DPF Cleaning & Repair Specialists
Book into our North Lakes workshop at 3/59 Flinders Parade, next to JAX Tyres. DPF light on, limp mode, failed regen or a fault code? We find out why, clean the DPF on the vehicle and have it ready in around 2 hours.
Our on-vehicle DPF cleaning process
Every job gets the same thorough process: we diagnose why the DPF blocked, clean it on the vehicle, and test it before handover so it’s running properly when you collect it.
Diagnostic assessment
We read soot levels, regen history and fault codes with professional diagnostic gear, so we know exactly what caused the blockage.
Chemical DPF clean
A 2-part chemical clean & flush breaks down the carbon build-up and brings DPF pressure back to normal.
Forced regeneration
With the carbon and pressure down, we run a forced regen through diagnostic software to finish the clean.
Reset & testing
We clear the fault codes, reset the DPF counters and test it before handover. Warning light off, full power back.

Book your DPF clean — $650What’s included
- Full diagnostic assessment
- 2-part chemical clean & flush
- Forced regeneration
- System reset & testing
- Mobile available by quote
It’s all done on the vehicle: no removal, no oven cleaning, no replacement parts. Oven cleaning means pulling the filter off and losing the vehicle for a day or more.
The $650 covers the diagnostic, clean, regen and reset for standard light vehicles: passenger diesels, 4WDs, utes and normal vans. Trucks and heavy vehicles are quoted individually based on the vehicle, DPF size and work required. If a filter turns out to be cracked, melted or ash-bound and can’t be cleaned, we’ll give you your replacement options. An assessment fee applies.

Frequently asked questions
How much does DPF cleaning cost?
One flat price: $650, complete, at our North Lakes workshop. That covers the diagnostic, the 2-part chemical clean & flush, a forced regeneration and the full system reset, done in around 2 hours. Mobile service is available by quote in suitable locations, call to check. Payment on completion. No DPF removal, no oven cleaning, no surprise extras. The $650 applies to standard light vehicles — passenger diesels, 4WDs, utes and normal vans. Trucks and heavy vehicles are quoted individually based on the vehicle, DPF size and work required.
Is it worth getting a DPF cleaned?
In almost every case, yes. At $650 our clean is a fraction of the $2,000–$10,000+ cost of a replacement filter. The only time it isn’t worth it is when the filter is physically damaged or completely ash-bound — and we’ll tell you that up front.
Can a fully blocked DPF be cleaned?
Often, yes — a heavily blocked filter can usually be restored if the core isn’t cracked, melted or full of ash. We confirm whether yours is safe to clean during the diagnostic.
How long does it take?
Around 2 hours at our North Lakes workshop for most light vehicles. It’s done on the vehicle, so there’s no overnight wait for oven cleaning. Mobile service is available by quote in suitable locations, call to check.
Can I clean my DPF myself?
You can try a highway drive or an additive for light soot, but if the light’s on, the car’s in limp mode, or a regen has failed, you need a proper diagnosis and on-car clean.
Is DPF delete legal in Queensland?
No — removing or disabling a DPF is illegal for registered on-road vehicles in Queensland and across Australia, and can attract fines. Cleaning restores the filter legally, which is what we do.
How do I tell if my DPF needs cleaning?
Common signs are the DPF warning light, loss of power or limp mode, higher fuel use, and failed or constant regeneration cycles. If you’re seeing any of those, book before the blockage gets worse.
